You are The Gamer.
You have...Memories...of a past where you were a normal person on the Universe of Connection, so named because many of the Universes that exist are in some way connected to this one.
But that's all in the past. Your current goal is to travel to various universes in trouble and bring happiness to its inhabitants.
You don't know how or why you know all this
You don't have time to reflect on the mystery however, as you are currently in a large town that is being set on fire by a dragon whose scales are as red as blood. The dragon's feet are about as big as an average sized house, and in addition to ending villagers' lives by fire, he also ends them by crushing the bodies their souls inhabit.
Some of the features of the setting you are currently in:
A mother with a panicked dirty face, is holding an infant and rushing out of the town.
An old man, with a bent back and legs is currently on the ground praying to someone called the Holy Sage. He prays not for salvation, but for a swift death.
There are some young men, none of them older than 30, fighting the dragon. Their swords are doing little damage. You notice that some of them are deliberately drawing attention to themselves.
A house, already burned by the dragon's fire, is collapsing upon itself.
Before you're able to react, the dragon shoots a fireball from it's mouth at the fleeing woman with infant. She looks behind herself frequently, so she's able to leap out of the fireball's path. It's a futile effort though, as the fireball goes in an arc towards the woman and incinerates her and the infant instantly in a massive explosion that also knocks you off of your feet.
When you get up you see that the men fighting the dragon are all dead or soon to be. Some of them no longer have the lower halves of their bodies. Some of them are charred husks. Some of them seem to be no more than piles of meat bone and blood.
Then the dragon looks at you.
It's menacing red eyes seem to glow at you. You experience an emotion that you think is fear, but you feel compelled to return the dragon's stare. This continues for about 5 seconds, before the dragon turns and flies off.
