Journey to Planar World

The appearance of a Western dragon above Tokai City was a sight that shook the world—or rather, shook a handful of people who had access to it. In this age of information, not everyone is given the opportunity to see the terrifying reality. Only those at the top—heads of state, owners of giant consortiums, and global elites—have exclusive access to satellite footage and intelligence reports.

For them, this wasn’t just a natural phenomenon or a myth coming back to life; it was a global crisis that could change the world order. A giant creature resembling a classic Western dragon was rampaging above Tokai City, breathing fire and destroying everything in its path. But what shocked them most wasn’t the dragon’s existence itself, but a young man who seemed to be standing against it alone.

The viewers around the world, consisting of the upper echelon, global elites, and heads of state, watched with fixed eyes and shaken hearts. The sight was like a scene taken from ancient myths or legends. Amidst the silent destruction of Tokai City, a young man stood against a giant dragon alone.

The young man looked small, almost insignificant, compared to the dragon’s figure, which hovered arrogantly in the air. The dragon had a body covered in hard black scales, large wings that created storms with every flap, and glowing yellow eyes that radiated hatred and dominance. Every roar of the dragon shook the ground, and every breath of its fire destroyed everything with such heat that it turned asphalt into liquid.

But the young man didn’t retreat.

The sword he held in his hand emitted a mystical light, as if a symbol of hope amidst the darkness. He moved with unreasonable agility, darting between the dragon’s attacks with incredible speed. His attacks didn’t just rely on his sword, but also elements that he seemed to control easily—fire, ice, even wind.

But for the viewers, it wasn’t just the mystical abilities that shook their hearts. It was the young man’s courage. Every time he fell, he got back up. Every time his body was hit and injured, he kept moving forward, attacking the dragon without a hint of fear.

For many of those watching, this sight felt like seeing an ancient heroic tale come to life before their eyes. The young man was a hero, even though they didn’t know who he was or where he came from. He wasn’t just an individual fighting a mythical creature; he was a symbol of resistance against impossibility.

❀❀❀

In a sterile conference room equipped with advanced technology, leaders from various major countries gathered in an emergency meeting. They sat around an oval table, their faces tense after witnessing the unbelievable footage: a young man fighting a giant dragon and winning.

The President of the United States started the meeting with a firm tone: ”I want a full report. Who is he? Where did he come from? And how can he have such power?”

The head of intelligence standing beside the table replied with a voice full of pressure: ”We’ve run all the data search protocols, Mr. President. His face has been scanned and matched against every global population database. The results… nil. He’s not registered in any country, neither in our country nor in any other.”

The President of France, sitting at the end of the table, tapped his fingers nervously: ”Are you saying that a young man with such power just appeared out of thin air? This is absurd. Is there a possibility that he’s related to a secret program or military experiment?”

The head of Russian intelligence shook his head: ”We’ve checked that possibility. There’s no indication that he’s the result of biological experiments, technology, or even secret military programs. He… might be something truly beyond our understanding.”

”Then what do we know about the dragon? If a creature like that appears again, how much military force is needed to subdue it?” The President of China spoke in a cold tone.

A senior scientist present at the meeting immediately stood up. He moved the presentation screen on the wall with data that had been collected during the fight.

”We’ve analyzed the footage thoroughly. The creature has extraordinary resistance to physical and thermal attacks. Its scales are almost impenetrable. Based on our simulations, conventional weapons like bullets and rockets wouldn’t be effective.”

He clicked to the next screen, displaying a model of the dragon with various attack scenarios.

”Only weapons with extremely high destructive power, like intercontinental ballistic missiles or thermonuclear weapons, have a chance of injuring the creature. But even that isn’t guaranteed to kill it directly.”

”…”

For a moment, the room was filled with an ominous silence.

The British Minister of Defense leaned back in his chair, his face pale.

”So you’re saying that if that creature appears in our capital, we have to use nuclear weapons on our own land just to fight it?”

”Unfortunately, yes… And keep in mind, the impact isn’t just on the creature, but also on the destruction of the city and a huge number of civilian casualties.” The scientist replied with a tone full of regret.

The President of the United States, who seemed calmer, spoke again.

”And the young man? How can he penetrate the creature’s defenses? He didn’t just survive against the dragon, but he also managed to kill it.”

The scientist took a deep breath, then pointed to another screen showing footage of the young man’s actions.

”We’re still analyzing how it works, but it seems he’s using energy that can’t be explained by modern technology or science. His final attack… theoretically, it’s equivalent to the destructive power of a ballistic missile with a small nuclear warhead.”

”…”

Those words silenced everyone in the room.

”Humanoid nuclear…” the Japanese Prime Minister murmured, almost inaudible. ”That young man is a walking, talking nuclear weapon.”

The German Chancellor, who had been silent until then, finally spoke in a trembling voice.

”That means he’s not just a hero in the eyes of the world, but also a threat. If he decides to fight us, no country can stop him alone.”

The leaders in the room looked at each other, each realizing the weight of the implications of this situation. The young man, with power never seen before, could pressure any country just by his existence.

Amidst the tense atmosphere in the secret conference room, the President of China suddenly spoke, diverting everyone’s attention from the discussion about the young man fighting the dragon.

”I have a question. Is it possible… that the creature’s blood or flesh could provide longevity or even immortality?”

Since ancient times, Chinese heads of state have been obsessed with immortality. It can be seen from the actions of the First Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty, who searched for immortality.

”…”

The room fell silent instantly. The question hung in the air, seeping into the minds of everyone in the room like sweet poison. The focus that was previously on the young man now shifted entirely to the dragon that had just been defeated.

The leaders and advisors present in the room exchanged glances. Their eyes sparkled, full of insatiable greed and ambition.

Immortality is something that has long been a hidden obsession among the world’s elite. With the wealth and power they possess, the last thing they want is inevitable death.

After all, the higher someone’s status and wealth, the more they fear death. The proof is that many wealthy people around the world fund research into longevity.

The President of the United States leaned forward, his voice flat but clearly carrying a hidden meaning.

”That’s an interesting question. But, is there any scientific basis for it? What do our scientists think?”

All eyes turned to the scientist in the corner of the room. The man, who had been busy studying the data from the fight, suddenly became the center of attention. He swallowed, feeling pressured by the intense gaze that demanded an answer from him.

”Theoretically, the creature showed extraordinary vitality. Its regenerative abilities and physical strength surpass anything we’ve ever studied. If we could extract and study the biomolecules from its blood or flesh, there’s a possibility that it could have extraordinary effects on the human body. But…” he said hesitantly.

He stopped, looking at the faces of the leaders who were waiting hopefully, before continuing: ”All of this is still speculation. We need further research to verify it.”

The President of Russia leaned back in his chair, his smile thin and meaningful.

”Speculation or not, I think we all know that we can’t ignore this possibility. If it’s true, then the dragon is the greatest resource ever discovered in human history.”

”And whoever controls it will have control over the future.” The President of China added.

That comment turned the atmosphere in the room even more tense. Everyone knew that the dragon, which had just become a global threat, now transformed into the most valuable asset in the world.

”We can’t let one country control everything. If it’s true that the dragon has such potential, research should be done collaboratively.” The President of France said, trying to maintain a diplomatic tone.

But the Japanese Prime Minister, who had been silent until then, finally spoke in a firm tone.

”The dragon was found on our land. I think it’s Japan’s duty to lead this research. We will ensure that the world gets the results in due time.”

Although the Japanese Prime Minister’s words sounded calm, everyone in the room knew that he had no intention of sharing anything. Japan had a geographical advantage, and they would exploit it to the fullest.

The President of the United States glanced at his military advisor, giving a subtle signal.

”We have to monitor this situation very carefully. Don’t let Japan monopolize the dragon. We have to pressure Japan politically and economically.”

On the other hand, Russia and China also began to give silent instructions to their intelligence teams. Each country began planning secret operations to get a piece of the dragon—whether it was a blood sample, flesh, or even scales left behind.

Behind the scenes, the obsession with immortality began to dominate the discussion among the global elite. They knew that the dragon was a potential key to overcoming the limitations of human life. Many of them had funded research into longevity for years, but the results had always been limited.

After that, no one discussed the immortality that the dragon might bring. Instead, they discussed how to deal with the mysterious young man.

Finally, they agreed to use diplomacy. If that failed, it wasn’t too late to bombard the young man with dozens of nuclear bombs.

No single individual should have the power to shake the current political landscape!

The cake had been divided according to its portions; the leaders of various countries didn’t want their portions to decrease.

So, if the young man didn’t want to submit, then he was a threat to the world!
