Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 688 - What Are Majin?

Chapter 688 - What Are Majin?

-----
Majin? What's that? It doesn't sound at all like a Norse-mythology name, in fact it doesn't sound at all like that! What's this, an error in the matrix? No… I remember there are some Japanese terms mixed around as well, mostly influence of reincarnated people, right? I mean the Winter Lotus Sect was made entirely out of a Japanese freak, Yukihime, who came from another world so everything is possible, reincarnated people can really change this world from its original course, in fact, the existence of this enormous variety of monsters in the world, and that dungeons exist alongside the technology that Greenwood uses to fight all originated from ancient, reincarnated people known as the "Great Demons" or something.
And then there are people like the Fox Dream Venerable, another reincarnated soul that brought with her unique skills the Dream Magic element to the world, which completely affected its course and changed it forever… And then there are other things, such as the Blood Venerable, the damn first Vampire that brought an era of Vampires to the world for thousands of years, which even lasted after his death until a new venerable rose in these times, the Ice Queen… And well, history has been shaped by these unique skills for generations now, they have changed the entire world…
Majin… could they come from someone with such a power that brought them to this world? Such as the theory that says that certain races of monsters originated from an ancient Great Demon with the Summoning Skill or something.
"I am very sorry for asking that, but I have seen Beast-kin, Ice Giants, Mountain Giants, Humans, Elves, and Dwarves before, but I never saw a Majin…" I said. "From where do you Majin originate from?"
"Oh, my tribe doesn't have an original continent like other larger tribes, we are spread around the entire world into all continents, much like Beast-kin, but unlike how beast-kin are believed to originate from the continent of Vanaheim, our origins are dark… My grandmother used to say that we originated from a different world, one very similar to this one that one day connected to this world through the intervention of somebody…" Said Majin. "And that's it… She said that such a world was better for us but that our ancestors were greedy or something."
"I see… Sorry for asking that." I said.
"Oh no, don't worry, we are rather rare in this continent, we proliferate more in the borders of Midgard… But humans there are not that welcoming of us, not everybody, but several Kingdoms and the Sects and Churches that seem to pray to the ancient Vanir gods treat us as "demons"… Well, in here everything is fine, I am happy I moved here. I've been living in this place for almost seven years now!" She said.
"Amazing… I wish you luck then. We'll come back soon." I said, petting her head a bit and leaving a few little slimes with her to protect her, for some reason I felt like she could be somehow enslaved, she's way too rare and weird people is everywhere, if that ever happens, I left some insurance there.
"Hahah, okay, thank you." She said with a smile, while blushing a bit, she was quite cute.
"Hmmm…"
Benladann, in the other part, was looking at me angrily- no, not only her, Miranda too- EH? Even Benladra! All three girls were looking at me while furrowing their eyebrows.
"You were very friendly there with the little Marie! She's pretty cute, isn't she? Yeah I bet." Said Benladann.
"Indeed… Quite cute, isn't she? An exotic girl, a Majin, even!" Said Miranda.
"Hmm… Babah…" Said Benladann angrily, I didn't understand what she meant, she was just going with the flow, but there is the possibility she's also jealous if I interact "suspiciously" with other girls.
"W-What's wrong? Relax for once! I was just curious about the Majin and what they are, she said there was a portal to another world or something, isn't that interesting? We should know more about that and learn." I said.
"Hmm… Sure, I guess…" Said Benladann. "But we don't got any clues aside from that little info, so it's pointless to ponder that much…"
"Majin seem like they're an interesting race, I do wonder what they got going for them though, every race got some sort of talent." Said Tisha, entering the conversation to calm down the girls a bit. Thank you, Tisha, I owe you one.
"I have not heard at all about them either, they're very rare in this continent then! Maybe our next stop should be Midgard so we can met more races." Said Pekora. "How about it?"
"I was planning to go to Midgard as well, I think there could be clues about more dragons there…" I said. "After all, from what I've heard from the folk, there seems to be a tribe of dragons there that lives in a large Gray Mountain range or something, so I am interested in seeing if they really exist there."
"Oh really? Maybe we could met some dragons then, the dragons we have met have been all disappointing." Said Miranda.
Dragons, I have been searching for rumors about them anywhere in the entire city through the abuse of my slime clones, hearing rumors of people talking and more, and eventually, I heard things from travelers talking about Gray Mountains in Midgard that harbor a family of strong dragons that even the Kingdoms are intimidated to act against, so they have left those mountains alone, despite how rich they could be if they could mine them for their vast quantity of resources.
There are also rumors about Fire Dragons in Muspelheim, the continent where most Fire Giants thrive, it is a "wild" continent without many large nations, and it has a wide amount of unexplored lands filled with wilderness and monsters everywhere, and very strong at that. It is said that in there, the Fire Dragon Progenitor Muspel died and left several eggs spread everywhere, so fire dragons are sometimes seen, or there are legends about them as well…
