64 Corruption gate (2/2)

”I see, well, then we need a new name for our great dragon then. Zero seems a little old.”

[Well, as long as its majestic enough…]

Zero squinted his eyes as he stared intensely, he looked quite excited for a new name more than his words implied. This AI seemed quite advanced, it felt like I was interacting with a real human 10 years old child.

”What about little worm?”

[HUH?]

”Calm down, I was just joking, I already thought of a suitable name for you, what about shenlong, it means spirit dragon, which seems to suit your actual situation right?”

The small angry face of the lizard seemed to brighten up as if it liked it.

[Just so-so but I shall accept this name. From now on I'm the great Shen Long!]

”Oh, glad you liked it. Well then, I shall call you Long for shot”

The new named Long seemed quite gullible as he liked the name that I remembered from a certain popular series, even though I planned several other famous mythological dragons in case he didn't like it. Unlike his haughty & playful attitude, he was quite fun to interact with. At least it was much better than my life of solitude in the forest back then.

After a quick 5 minutes inspection with the newly acquired light, I found out that it was a 10 meters wide road that seemed to continue ahead, while behind me was another wall, the only exception was that there was a small door at the center of that wall.

I decided to check that door first, but I wanted to test something before that.
