Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System Chapter 286

"Human? No, I am not. I am X7 serial code 238745. I am nothing more than a humble android." X7 replied. An android…. I walked up to X7 and looked him over, and even poked his face. Everything about him felt real. As I did this, the girls all watched me with great diligence, as if they were waiting for it to attack me at any moment. I could have told them that it was fine, but this was a good chance to let them learn to always be on guard.

"How long have you been in operation?" I asked. Since it was able to tell that we were people, then it may have some valuable information.

"According to my creation date, fifteen million years have passed," X7 replied. But I guess my question was too broad.

"Let me ask you this. When was the last time you saw a human besides us?" If I narrow it down this much, I should be able to get a better date on when this place was once a thriving place.

"Three days ago," X7 replied, causing me to raise an eyebrow.

"Was it a man" I bit my lip, hoping it was my father. If it was, I could see my father trying to communicate with this thing and even asking it to leave a message.

"It was indeed a man. But my language processing unit was unable to understand his language. I did record what was said before the man walked away as protocol stats in my programming." X7 replied.

"Play it for me, please…. That man should have been my father…." I was glad X7 had such a function.

"Replaying now: 'Hey, what is this? Are you an enemy?' My father's voice came out of X7's mouth. 'Not an enemy, huh? What the hell are you? I can not sense any life coming from you. Anyway…. Since you are not an enemy, I will just leave you here. If my daughter comes by, relay a message to her. Keep going, and meet me at the end of the dungeon. We will reunite there. And…. I will leave another message for you at the desk of this building. I know you are probably going crazy and cursing me for being stupid for continuing my dive. But I feel something is strange about this place.

'It all feels off to me as there is some kind of connection to another world or something along those lines. Dungeons may not be what we think they are. But don't worry, I'm fine. Hell, I even leveled up a bit. So the floors you visit should be quite safe. Who would have known the first floor had some texts on how to defeat these white monster things? I even searched the whole damn place for more…. Anyway, I am just rambling now. Faith, always remember to stay strong and believe in your old man. I promise I will not die on you. Anyway, I am off. See you at the dungeon's end. I wonder if you will ever hear this. Can this thing even understand me?'

"End of recording. The man walked to the desk and left a note. But I could not understand what it said, so I left it there." X7 explained.

"Thank you, X7." I looked at the android that seemed to have lost its purpose and decided on something. "X7, I will be storing you away for the time being. Once I leave the dungeon, I will let you back out. Do you have the ability to self learn new languages?" I asked.

"This is part of my programming, yes," X7 replied.

"Then that makes things easier. I will help you learn this world's language when we get back to my home. There is nothing left here for you to do. If anything, you would probably be attacked by the next people that come through here. But before I store you, can you tell me when the last time you saw someone other than the man you just spoke about?"

"To answer your question 7 million years ago," X7 replied. This meant whatever made the city as it is now was probably done at that time. Which is why….

"X7, can you tell me what caused this building and its surroundings to end up like this?" If I could get a better clue, it would really help me out.

"I will replay what happened that day…." X7's eyes began to glow as a small screen appeared in front of us. It showed the building and what was happening outside the window and into the street. Many humans and flying cars were passing by. That was when suddenly something looked strange. The people began to digitize. I mean, this is the only way I could describe it. The humans were turning into strange greenish squares that floated up into the air. The flying cars began to crash into buildings, and then after about a minute, it was silent. The sky above had been gray the entire time as it is now.

"Fast forward at the fastest speed." I wanted to see if anything else happened but did not have time to watch it every second. Soon the screen was moving at a fast pace. The view changed from what looked like an employee lounge to the front door once more. The scene outside turned from a thriving city to a place overrun by nature. But the sky always stayed gray, never any blue to be seen. Millions of years passed in minutes until the view of my father appeared: "Stop! Playback at normal speed."

My father stared at X7 while rubbing his chin and even poked it in the face like I did. Only after a few minutes of inspection did he begin to talk to it and leave a message. He then left the main hall probably to search the building. But he looked in good shape with no wounds or anything. Still the handsome father I remember him as. My eyes began to water up knowing that he was fine and in good health.
