Apparently, Orsted's dragon god title wasn't just a formality and its existence was burnt into the world through the system.
The title of dragon god exists in the Re:zero world too now. Anyone who possesses this title would be the strongest existence in the dragon race. A information spread throughout the world. To everyone, it was a title left empty for centuries.
Going through the information in his head, Orsted frowned identical to his template self in jobless reincarnation.
Any being with dragon bloodline would be able to tell that he was the dragon god instinctually. Something not worth worrying about in itself, but according to the system or now legend of this world, if the other dragons are able to kill Orsted, they would attain the dragon god title.
In hindsight, if Orsted wins, the opponent dragon would become his servant eternally.
'First, the dragon tribe cursed and now this, I might just be attacked in my sleep now.' When such thought appeared, it stuck to Orsted's mind, dying in sleep would mean not knowing the opponent efficiently.
Orsted activated [Rewrite] and decided to rewrite and erase the need for sleeping.
[10 years of lifespan will be deducted, is the host sure?]
"Yes." Orsted's paranoid mind couldn't leave a weakness like that around or else, he would never be able to think more freely.
And it was apparent that his lifespan would increase with his template's growth.
Immediately, Orsted felt his mind getting absorbed into himself, feeling perfectly how his mind was being modified and the sense of losing something that he couldn't pinpoint perfectly, he predicted it to be his lifespan.
Orsted took a glance around himself again, nothing had changed in reality, however he strangely felt his senses focusing all over the place.
Orsted felt his perception to have expanded greatly.
The gentle smell of the flowers grew unpleasant to Orsted, it was as if he were smelling multiple perfumes at once.
Orsted stayed below the tree for a few seconds before getting up.
'I can control my senses now.' Orsted checked the clothes he was wearing, they were similar to what the original Orsted wore in jobless reincarnation.
A double-layered trenchcoat with a high, fur-lined collar and attached cape. The attire featured ornate buckles, dark tones, and a menacing, structured look suitable for the Dragon God.
It highlighted his moniker of the dragon god strangely - Orsted thought to himself.
Now, it was time for him to consider his future path.
'I have to eliminate my weaknesses first and then strengthen myself quickly. My mana regeneration is my most glaring weakness, Orsted's magical prowess was unmatched, but he couldn't show it off mostly due to this reason too.'
The most apparent solution would be [Rewrite], however Orsted felt it instantly. Even to just recover 10% speed of his mana regeneration, 1,000 years worth of lifespan was needed.
"How worrying...."
[The world adjustment has been completed!]
[The gacha system has been modified in accordance with the reward from the beginner pack.]
[The primary way to strengthen your template is through system quest or dragon points! Dragon points can be obtained by spreading your name as the dragon god throughout the world!]
[1,000 dragon points is equal to 1% of template progress.]
[The secondary way to strengthen the template would be through [Rewrite]. 100 years worth of lifespan is equal to 1% of progress.]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining your first side quest!]
Orsted felt his nerves calm down, with the system....he wouldn't suffer as long as he was careful.
The side quest's specifics appeared before his eyes.
[Side quest 1: Reach Kararagi's second city, Banan and become a bounty hunter.]
[Reward: 500 dragon points, 50 years of lifespan and a gacha chance.]
[Advice: Check the special map in your inventory!]
'The special map...I almost forgot about it.' Orsted quickly went through the simple system interface and took out the map which was made of yellow parchment.
Opening the map - a colourful world map presented itself before him. There was even a red arrow pulsating over his location.
"So I'm in the Banan grasslands. Banan city isn't that far." Staring at the map seriously, Orsted decided to start travelling immediately.
Banan city - Orsted knew this city somewhat through the Re:zero's novel. It was the same city where Subaru ran with Rem in the sloth if route.
It appeared in the original plot too, where the shinigami incident took place.
Zarestia...Orsted remembered about her and grew contemplative. The slasher, a great spirit with immense power.
There were only a few characters that Orsted was interested in the world of Re:Zero. Rem being prominent in the list, he was quite happy when she regained her memory in the later arc.
In the end, it was all reset through return by death - an immense disappointment.
After seeing that there was even a compass in the map, Orsted got up and began walking towards his destination. His snow white trench coat waved with the winds, it was almost evening now.
'There is a road East from here, I should first reach it and follow its trail cautiously.'
Heading through a random route towards Banan city, might just lead to a witchbeast habitat. Though stronger than before, Orsted felt it would be hard to take on witchbeast with only 1% of his template's strength.
Cutting through the flower field, Orsted travelled steadily towards the road thanks to the special map.
An hour later, the sun seemed to have almost reached the horizon. Spreading its soothing sunrays to the flower field before Orsted.
Suddenly, Orsted felt one side of his trench coat to be heavier than before.
Puchi~
A sense of squishing something below his legs spread through his tow.
'When did....' Orsted felt his face stiffen gazing at the dozens of flowers or parasites stuck on his white coat. They writhed disgustingly, with bloody colour liquid covered them.
Orsted could see dozens of such parasites all around the flower field now.
A decaying smell assaulted his nose at that moment.
Flower
'A flower field...' Orsted's mind was injected with a dose of uncontrollable energy and....despair.
The smell of decaying meat, flower parasites and a flower field - If Orsted couldn't predict where he was at the moment with this much information, he might as well be a retard.
Orsted had entered the Courtesan bear's habitat.
Courtesan Bears are two to three meters in length and have short legs in exchange for long arms, black fur, and hook-like claws. The flowers on their bodies are actually parasites that suck moisture and nutrients from their hosts, and any places that don't have any flowers have withered. Their faces are mummy-like.
Orsted turned around and began running with an inhumane speed.
'I can't believe I waltzed into there even with prior knowledge of this world!'
At that moment, Orsted realized that having knowledge about this world didn't mean - he had experience too.
"Why!? Why can I smell them on this side too?!"
Even while knowing [Reincarnation technique] would save him even at death. Orsted didn't have any intentions of experiencing how it felt being eaten by bears.
