The story begins with a guy waking up in
complete darkness, confused and
wondering where he is. At first, he
can't see anything at all, but shortly
after, he notices a faint light slowly
appearing in front of him. The light
grows brighter, and he realizes it's
coming from what looks like the inside
of an eggshell. A portion of the shell
is broken, allowing him to see outside.
Through the opening, he can tell that
he's in a forest. This only raises more
questions, especially when he realizes
he can't move his body at all. Before he
can think too deeply about it, a status
screen suddenly appears in front of him.
When he reads it, he freezes in shock
because it clearly states that he is a
dragon egg. This completely confuses
him. His stat window then fully opens
and a divine voice announces that this
window displays all of his current
abilities along with numerical values to
make them easier to understand. Still
confused, he tries talking to the divine
voice, demanding an explanation for what
the hell is going on. However, the
divine voice calmly responds that it
cannot explain anything yet because he
is still level one. This only annoys him
further. In his frustration, he shakes
his body slightly which causes him to
fall from the tree he was resting in. He
hits the ground and begins rolling
downhill uncontrollably until he finally
reaches a river. As he sits there, he
realizes he can see his reflection in
the water. When he looks closely, he's
shocked to see that his reflection
really is a dragon egg. Seeing how lost
he is, the divine voice decides to cut
him some slack and finally gives him a
proper explanation of his situation. It
explains that he is indeed a dragon egg,
which in this world is classified as an
F-rank monster. If his shell were to
completely break, he would die
instantly, meaning he was already taking
a big risk by creating that small
eyehole. The divine voice continues
explaining that even though dragon eggs
are at the very bottom of the food
chain, they have the potential to grow
into fearsome dragons over time.
However, that only happens if they
manage to survive long enough. Since
dragon eggs are considered a popular
delicacy among monsters, because dragon
eggs obviously don't have legs, the only
way they can move is by rolling. Even
after hearing all of this, he still
doesn't fully understand what's
happening to him. Deciding that staying
in one place is too dangerous, he starts
rolling away at full speed, trying to
get as far as possible. Unfortunately,
this only leads to him rolling off a
small cliff. He's been falling a lot
lately, and because of this, the system
announces that his fall resistance has
increased from level one to level two.
Even so, the fall still reduces his HP,
reminding him that he needs to be more
careful. Realizing he's injured and
exhausted, he decides to take a nap to
recover. As expected, when he wakes up,
his HP is completely restored. This
confirms for him that sleeping fully
refills his health bar, which at least
gives him one small sense of relief in
this strange and dangerous new world.
After that, he continues rolling around
while thinking to himself, wondering
what exactly will happen when he finally
hatches. He questions whether he'll turn
into some massive dragon one day and be
forced to fight enemies non-stop just to
survive. As he keeps rolling forward,
lost in thought, he suddenly comes to a
halt when he notices a giant insect not
too far away. Sensing danger, he quickly
hides behind a tree and immediately uses
his appraisal skill on it. The result
shows that the creature is nicknamed the
egg eater, just as the name suggests.
The moment the insect notices him, it
instantly lunges forward and begins
chasing him with clear murderous intent.
He rolls away as fast as he possibly
can, but even he can tell that he won't
be able to escape forever just by
rolling. At this rate, he'll eventually
get caught, so he realizes he needs to
gain the upper hand somehow. The worm
relentlessly chases him all the way to
the edge of a cliff. Right as it leaps
forward, trying to swallow him whole. He
dodges at the very last second, using
every bit of strength he has. He crashes
into the creature and manages to shove
it off the cliff. The monster tumbles
down the slope below and dies instantly.
This becomes the very first battle he
has ever won. The system immediately
announces that he has gained 12
experience points and has now reached
level five. Because of that, all of his
stats are fully maxed out. On top of
that, he has met the requirements for
evolution, giving him the option to
choose between evolving into a baby
dragon or a little dragon. Since he has
no idea what the actual difference
between the two is, the system steps in
and explains it to him. The little
dragon is described as a dwarf breed of
dragon. While it's considered small
compared to other dragons, its fully
grown size is still larger than that of
a bear, and it's widely known for its
powerful fire breath attack. As for the
baby dragon, the system explains that it
isn't very well suited for battle due to
its short claws and fangs. However, it
possesses immense potential and can
eventually evolve into many different
species of dragons. Naturally, baby
dragons are considered a prized delicacy
by both monsters and adventurers alike,
which means they are constantly hunted
wherever they appear. As expected, he
chooses the little dragon because it's
clearly the much safer option for
survival. However, immediately after
making his choice, the divine voice
places its arms around him and tells him
not to limit himself. It explains that
it has high expectations for him and
that he should always aim for the very
top. Hearing this leaves him feeling
confused. He starts wondering if the
divine voice only said that because he
chose the little dragon simply because
it was the safer option rather than
taking a risk. He recalls how the system
mentioned that the baby dragon has great
potential and can evolve into many
different forms. From that, he starts to
suspect that the little dragon might not
be able to evolve very far or possibly
might not evolve at all after a certain
point. With that in mind, he ultimately
decides to go with the baby dragon
because he doesn't want to have any
regrets whatsoever. Even though it might
be risky, he doesn't want to look back
later and think that he made the wrong
choice or held himself back out of fear.
The system accepts his decision and
grants his wish. And in the next moment,
his body begins to change as he
transforms into a yellow baby dragon,
exactly as requested. Along with the
evolution, he gains a large number of
new skills, and all of his previous
stats are significantly boosted compared
to before. However, despite evolving,
his HP and MP don't refill afterward,
which means he's still exhausted and
will need some proper rest before
pushing himself any further. Almost
immediately after realizing this, his
stomach suddenly growls loudly, making
it clear that he needs to eat something
soon. He looks over at the worm he
defeated earlier, and to his surprise,
it actually looks kind of delicious to
him now. He realizes that if he wants to
keep getting stronger, he needs protein,
and with that thought, his dragon
instincts completely kick in. Without
hesitating any longer, he devour the
worm. After eating, he lies down and
falls asleep. And when he wakes up the
next morning, he feels energized and
refreshed after getting a good night's
rest. He heads over to the river to look
at his reflection, and that's when he
fully acknowledges that he's been
reincarnated into this world. However,
what he finds strange is that he doesn't
have any memories of his past life at
all. He can't remember who he used to
be, what kind of life he lived, or even
whether he was a boy or a girl. Just as
he's thinking about that, he turns
around and notices several dark worms
behind him. This time, instead of
running away, he charges straight at
them. Using his new skills, he wipes out
the first wave in record time. As he
continues defeating more of them, he
unlocks additional skills, which only
makes fighting easier and more
efficient. After wiping them all out, he
starts to feel hungry again. However, he
doesn't want to eat the dark worms since
they tasted awful the last time. So, he
spots some mushrooms nearby and decides
to try those instead. That quickly turns
out to be a terrible idea because he
soon realizes the mushrooms are
poisonous. After dealing with the
consequences, he firmly decides that
he's never going to eat random mushrooms
again. With that lesson learned, he
heads deeper into the forest to look for
real prey since he really doesn't want
to keep surviving on dark worms. He
explores for a while until he spots a
gray wolf nearby. And even though it's
bigger than him, he still manages to use
his baby breath and dragon punch to take
it down. The fire slightly burns the
wolf's skin, and after taking a whiff,
he realizes that it smells just like
barbecue. Curious, he uses his baby
breath to grill it a bit more. And when
he finally takes a bite, he finds that
it's absolutely delicious. After that,
he comes across another grey wolf and
defeats it almost instantly. And this
causes him to level up all the way to
level 20 out of 25. With this, he
realizes that he still needs to gain
five more levels before he can finally
evolve again. Once the wolf is dead, he
begins grilling it just like before and
slowly realizes that he's starting to
get used to living like a dragon.
Hunting, fighting, and eating like this
is becoming normal to him. Still, even
though he's getting stronger, having
only the divine voice to talk to is
starting to feel very lonely and boring.
Because of that, he finds himself
wishing that he could have his own best
friend by his side. That wish is
answered much faster than he expects
because not long after he suddenly hears
voices coming from somewhere in the
distance. He can't understand the
language they're speaking at all, but
even so, he feels relieved when he hears
them because he knows those voices
belong to humans. He quickly hides
behind a nearby tree and carefully looks
out, spotting a small group of
adventurers walking closer. At first, he
thinks about showing himself and trying
to talk to them, but then he remembers
that he's a dragon. Because of that, he
wonders if they might attack him the
moment they see him. Still, he thinks
that since he's small, harmless looking,
and kind of cute, they might not see him
as a threat. He even considers that they
might keep him as a pet instead. With
that hopeful thought in mind, he steps
out from behind the tree and stands in
front of them, trying his best to act
cute and non-threatening. Unfortunately,
his plan completely fails. The
adventurers don't see him as cute at
all. Instead, they only see him as prey
and valuable meat. Without hesitation,
the leader of the group slashes him
across the chest with his sword. Right
after that, the man uses magic that
numbs his entire body and makes it
impossible for him to move properly. He
desperately tries to run away, but his
body won't respond because of the
numbing effect. As he lies there,
helpless, he watches the adventurers
slowly walk toward him, clearly
preparing to kill him. At that moment,
he realizes how foolish he was to
believe that a dragon could ever
befriend humans. After everything he
endured and all the effort he put into
evolving and surviving, it feels like
it's all about to end in a meaningless
and pointless death. Just as the leader
raises his weapon and prepares to deal
the finishing blow, a female adventurer
suddenly steps in and stops him. She
says that there's no need to kill such a
small, cute, and innocent looking
dragon. Confused, he wonders why he's
still alive. After a few seconds, he
starts to feel a warm sensation
spreading through his body. When he
looks up, he realizes that the female
adventurer is using healing magic on
him. He quickly uses his appraisal skill
and learns that her name is Maria. Even
though her MP is low, she still chooses
to heal him anyway. Maria continues
speaking to him, and after a short
while, the system announces that he has
gained the Greek language skill, which
would allow him to understand human
language more clearly if he levels it
up. However, this calm and gentle moment
doesn't last long. Suddenly, loud
screams echo from somewhere ahead. Maria
instantly recognizes the voices as
belonging to her comrades, and without
thinking, she tries to rush forward to
help them. Before she can go, he grabs
her arm and desperately signals for her
to stop, warning her that whatever is
ahead is far too dangerous for her to
face alone. Even so, Maria pulls away
and runs off anyway, leaving him behind.
He realizes that he can't just stand
there and do nothing while the girl who
saved his life is in danger. Gathering
his courage, he forces himself to move
and rushes after her. When he finally
reaches the scene, his fear deepens as
he sees the monster they're fighting.
It's a rock dragon, a C-rank monster. To
make things even worse, it has 197 GP,
which means it would take an enormous
amount of damage to defeat it. Maria has
already been injured by the monster, and
when he calls out to her, the rock
dragon turns its attention toward him
instead. Staring at the massive creature
now focused on him, he freezes in fear,
unable to move, and wonders if this is
truly how everything comes to an end. He
immediately runs and hides deeper inside
the bushes, curling in on himself as
fear takes over. His mind races as he
wonders how he is supposed to survive
this situation. However, the moment he
cautiously peaks out from the bushes and
sees Myra lying on the ground with only
6 HP left, his fear turns into
full-blown panic. Before he can even
think clearly, the divine voice suddenly
speaks to him, ordering him to get the
hell out of there. It warns him that if
he confronts that monster headon, he has
absolutely no chance of surviving.
Hearing this only makes him panic even
more. Deep down, he knows the divine
voice is right. He is far too weak,
inexperienced, and unprepared to face a
rock dragon of that size. Realistically,
the smartest and safest option would be
to turn around and run as fast as he
can. That is the logical choice. Even
so, despite understanding all of that,
he cannot bring himself to abandon Myra
and leave her there to die. With no time
left to hesitate, he forces himself into
action. He narrowly dodges one of the
rock dragons attacks, then immediately
counters by striking it straight in the
face. After doing that, he quickly
glances to the side and notices the two
adventurers he encountered earlier. One
of them is already dead while the other
is barely clinging to life with only 5
HP remaining. Seeing this, he quickly
forms a plan. His goal is to draw the
rock dragon away from them, create some
distance, and then circle back to help
the survivors if he can. He turns and
runs, pushing his body as hard as
possible to escape. However, before he
can get far, the rock dragon slams the
ground with a powerful tremor. The
impact throws him off balance, sending
him crashing to the ground. As he
struggles to recover, the rock dragon
charges straight toward him, closing the
distance in an instant. The rock dragon
is now moving closer to him. And right
as it jumps forward to attack, he reacts
at once and throws a fire covered punch
straight into the rock dragon's face,
hitting it head-on. He believes that
this attack should have taken away at
least half of the dragon's HP. But to
his shock, the rock dragon suddenly
begins to heal itself, restoring its HP
completely as if nothing happened. Even
so, he quickly realizes that while the
dragon is busy healing, this gives him
the perfect chance to grab Myra and
escape from the area. However, just
before he turns to leave, he remembers
that the other adventurer is still alive
nearby. He knows deep down that he does
not have the strength or time to save
both of them. So after struggling with
the decision, he makes the painful
choice to leave the adventurer behind to
die and focus on saving Myra instead. He
lifts Maria and carries her deep into
the forest, running as fast as he can.
But then he suddenly stops when he
realizes he can smell gray wolves
nearby. His sense of smell never fails
him. And moments later, a full pack of
gray wolves begins chasing him while
lies on his back. He runs with
everything he has until the wolves
completely surround him, leaving him
with no path left to escape. A few
minutes later, Maria briefly opens her
eyes and sees him fighting and killing
several gay wolves all by himself, using
only his bare hands and even his teeth
before she passes out again. After every
greywolf is defeated, he continues
carrying Myra through the forest once
more. Eventually, he spots a small human
village in the distance. So, he starts
shouting loudly for help, hoping the
humans will come to their aid. But just
as he expected, the humans see him as
nothing more than dangerous monster
meat. So, one of them stabs him with a
spear and the others aim their weapons
at him. He desperately tries to explain
that he means them no harm and that he
is only trying to save Myra, but the
humans don't understand a single word,
he says. After a short while, he
understands that arguing is useless. So
he gently places Myra on the ground for
the humans to take care of her and then
quickly runs away before they can attack
him again. Once he leaves, the humans
immediately begin treating Myra's
wounds. And he feels relieved knowing
that she is finally safe. As he walks
away, he realizes that humans and
dragons may never truly be able to
become friends. So he quietly returns to
his home deep within the woods. The next
day, Maria wakes up lying in a bed and
sees a girl named Marielle staring at
her. Marielle explains that Myra was
badly injured and was brought to her
house so she could be treated properly.
She then lets Maria know that she had
been unconscious for two full days.
Maria listens while lying back down, but
she cannot stop wondering who it was
that carried her out of the forest and
into the village. At first, she believes
it was her comrades Grants and Dah. So,
she asks Marielle where they are.
Marielle then tells her that Grants is
dead and that his body was found in the
forest. And as for Da, they were unable
to find his body at all, so they assumed
he was eaten by the rock dragon.
Marielle calls Grants and Da idiots for
trying to fight a rock dragon and
thinking they ever had a chance of
winning. Maria is left completely
shocked when she hears that her comrades
were eaten, and she immediately starts
blaming herself for everything that
happened. Marielle tells Maria not to
punish herself like that, saying that it
is actually better that she was the one
who survived because her comrades were
stubborn idiots who never listened to
anyone. Hearing this, Maria begins to
remember how Dah was always the first
person in their village to deal with
monsters that wandered too close. Many
of the village children looked up to him
because of that and admired his bravery.
However, there was one incident where Da
once encountered a rock dragon and chose
to run away instead of fighting it.
Because of that event, some of the
villagers later teased him about being
scared of the rock dragon and fleeing
instead of standing his ground. Dah took
those words personally and felt deeply
insulted. So, he swore that the next
time he ever saw a rock dragon, he would
defeat it no matter what. Then, two days
ago, Dah became obsessed with proving
that he was the strongest adventurer
around. He even lied and claimed that
Marielle had given him permission to go
hunt a rock dragon. Maria tried her
hardest to warn him and tell him that it
was far too dangerous, but Daw let his
pride control him and refused to back
down. He insisted on going after the
rock dragon and even managed to pressure
and guilt Maria into coming along with
him. That is exactly why Marielle calls
Da a fool, saying that his pride blinded
him and ended up costing him his life in
the end. Despite everything, Marielle is
still surprised that Maria managed to
survive and escape without suffering any
serious injuries at all. Maria then
tells her that someone must have carried
her out of the forest, but Marielle
quickly interrupts her and says that is
impossible. She explains that no
adventurer would ever risk their life to
save a random injured adventurer from a
monster as deadly as a rock dragon. Even
so, Maria insists that she clearly
remembers someone carrying her back
toward the village. Marielle believes
that Maria's memories are simply
confused because of the heavy blow she
took during the battle. Still, Maria
cannot fully accept that explanation
because she has faint memories of being
saved by a dragon. As she thinks about
it more, she starts to wonder if it
truly was that little dragon who saved
her and carried her all the way back to
the village. The next day, he wakes up
feeling full of energy and is surprised
by how much of his injuries healed just
from getting a good night's sleep. He
realizes that if he were still human,
there is no way he would be able to
recover this fast. A human body simply
could not heal this much overnight.
Putting that thought aside, he looks up
at the sky and starts wondering how Myra
is doing and whether she is safe or not.
His mind drifts back to the fight with
the rock dragon where his attacks barely
did any damage and he felt completely
powerless the entire time. Because of
that memory, a strong sense of
motivation rises inside him, and he
makes a firm vow to become stronger, no
matter what it takes, so he can protect
people who are in danger. With that goal
in mind, he immediately begins training
by tracking down a group of dark worms
and wiping them out, hoping to gain
enough XP to reach the next stage of
evolution. Not long after, he receives a
notification telling him that he has
reached level 25 and has now met the
requirements to evolve. Unlike before
when he only had two evolution options
to choose from, he now has five
different evolution paths available, he
feels conflicted and unsure about which
one to pick. So, the divine voice
decides to step in and explain them to
him. The voice starts by talking about
the mini dragon, explaining that it has
a small body similar to his current baby
dragon form, but its evolution speed is
slow and it has very limited future
evolution choices. He immediately loses
interest after hearing that since slow
growth is not what he wants at all and
asks the voice to explain the next
option instead. The divine voice goes
through each evolution choice one by
one, explaining them in detail, but the
one that grabs his attention the most is
the young plague dragon. The young
plague dragon is described as the first
stage of an evil dragon that spreads
disaster wherever it goes. Its
advantages include high intelligence and
the ability to use a human
transformation skill, allowing it to
turn into a human and freely visit
villages. At first, he quickly rejects
the idea as soon as he hears that it is
the spawn of an evil dragon. However,
after thinking for a moment, he suddenly
realizes that the voice mentioned human
transformation. His face heats up as he
imagines being able to turn into a human
and walk through villages whenever he
wants. Even so, he knows that choosing
this evolution would mean becoming a
plague bearing evil dragon. So, he finds
himself stuck and unable to decide,
fully aware that making the wrong choice
could ruin everything. He knows that
becoming a young plague dragon sounds
like a bad idea in every way, but he is
worried about Myra. On top of that, he
still really wants to get the human
transformation skill. With all of this
in mind, he finally makes up his mind
and says that he is going to evolve into
a young plague dragon. The divine voice
acknowledges his choice and he
immediately begins the evolution
process. His body changes and the
transformation is intense. When it is
finally over, he looks into the water to
see his reflection. That is when he
realizes that he looks a lot uglier than
he used to be. The divine voice then
announces all the skills he has been
upgraded to. And at first, he is
extremely excited. Hearing about all the
new abilities makes him feel powerful
and hopeful. However, that excitement
quickly fades when he sees all the evil
type skills he has also gained. The list
of dark and dangerous abilities makes
him uncomfortable and worried about what
kind of creature he is becoming. What
makes things even worse is that the main
reason he chose this evolution was to
get the human transformation skill. When
he looks at his status board, he sees
that the skill is nowhere to be found.
Feeling frustrated, he asks the divine
voice if he is supposed to level up
first before he can get that skill. Once
again, the divine voice proves to be
useless and simply says that it cannot
provide that kind of explanation since
he is only level three. This answer only
makes him more annoyed and confused. The
system then continues to explain the
rest of his current skills in detail.
With every new skill that is revealed,
he becomes more shocked. Many of them
sound cruel, poisonous, or meant to
spread sickness and destruction. Each
time he learns more, he mentally
crashes, realizing just how evil and
dangerous this dragon form truly is. At
this point, he regrets his decision
deeply and just wants to go back to
being a cute little dragon instead of
this terrifying plague creature.
Meanwhile, Marielle goes with Myra to
re-enchant the warding stones. My is
still confused, unsure whether the
monster that saved her was real or just
her imagination. Marielle takes the
situation seriously. She reasons that if
a monster was able to enter because the
warding stones were broken, then that
means there is a serious problem with
their defenses. Shortly after she
finishes re-enchanting the warding
stones, Maria asks Marielle to tell her
more about monsters. Marielle notices
that Myra has been oddly obsessed with
monsters. Ever since the incident she
went through, Maria explains that it is
because she has a strong feeling that
the monster back then was actually
trying to save her. That thought has not
left her mind and she wants to
understand monsters better because of
it. Marielle figures that it will not
hurt to let Maria know more about
monsters. So, she begins to explain. She
tells her that monsters grow stronger
with every evolution and they usually do
this by hunting other creatures in order
to level up. Marielle explains that
levels are something humans have as well
since people also improve their
abilities by gaining experience.
However, monsters work a little
differently. She goes on to explain that
once monsters reach their maximum level,
they do not simply stop growing.
Instead, they evolve into a monster that
is one rank higher. After that, the
process repeats. They hunt, level up
again, reach another limit, and then
evolve into an even more powerful form.
Each evolution makes them stronger, more
dangerous, and more difficult to defeat
than before. Maria is genuinely shocked
when she hears all of this. She cannot
believe that people have managed to
learn so much about the way monsters
grow and evolve. It seems impossible to
her that humans could understand
creatures that are so different from
them. But Marielle tells her that this
is not the whole story. Marielle
explains that from time to time there
are special people who can hear a divine
voice. This divine voice shares
information with them about monsters,
including their levels, abilities, and
even their origins. The people who
possess this rare ability are known as
heroes or saints. Because of them,
humans have been able to gather detailed
knowledge about monsters and how they
work. Marielle then becomes more
serious. She tells Myra that every
monster out there is driven to become
more powerful and more ferocious. That
is their nature. Because of this, even
if a monster really did save Maria's
life before, the next time they cross
paths, that same monster could have
evolved into something far more
dangerous. In that case, it would most
likely attack her instead of helping
her. Finally, Marielle warns Mya not to
get the wrong idea about monsters. She
explains that monsters are nothing more
than embodiment of pure fighting
instinct. They exist to grow stronger
through battle and conflict. Because of
that, monsters and humans were never
meant to coexist peacefully. After
saying this, Marielle turns and walks
away, leaving Maria alone with a lot to
think about. Meanwhile, he is still bent
on leveling up so he can finally achieve
human transformation and will finally be
able to see Myra again. He hopes to find
some weak monsters so that he can level
up quickly and get closer to that goal.
But after moving for a while, he
realizes that it is a little hard for
him to move. When he looks up, he sees
that he has been stuck in a giant web
and a giant spider monster has just
landed behind him with a heavy thud. He
immediately takes a look at the spider's
stats and sees that they are far too
high for him to handle at his current
level. So, he quickly realizes that he
probably cannot beat it in his current
state. The spider strikes first and he
reacts by hitting it with his baby
breath attack. The attack clearly
inflicts a lot of damage. But when he
checks the spider's stats screen, he
notices that the spider's HP has barely
gone down at all. Determined to try
something else, he decides to use some
of the plague dragon's paralysis attack.
He launches a large flurry of those
attacks, hoping to weaken or slow it
down. Even after all of that, the spider
still has over half of its HP remaining,
which makes him realize that brute force
alone will not work. Seeing how strong
the spider is and how little impact his
attacks are having, he figures that his
best bet is to get the hell out of there
before it is too late, he runs away as
fast as he can. But before he can even
realize it, the spider is right behind
him, moving far faster than he expected.
He tries using his flight skill to
escape, but he immediately realizes that
his level is still too low to lift off
properly, so he has no choice but to
continue rolling and dodging as he makes
his way forward. He continues rolling
and maneuvering until he spots a nearby
cliff. Despite knowing that his flying
skill is still unreliable at his current
level, he decides to take the risk and
open his wings at the last second. By
doing this, he is able to glide safely
over to the other side of the cliff.
Once he lands, he lets out a small
celebration. Feeling a sense of relief
and accomplishment that he managed to
get away from the spider this time
without getting hurt. However, just as
he is about to leave, he notices
something alarming. The spider has used
its webs to create a bridge across the
gap and is making its way over to him.
He freezes for a moment, realizing that
this fight is far from over. He then
continues to roll away as fast as he
possibly can, dodging obstacles and
trying to put as much distance as
possible between himself and the spider.
Along the way, he runs into several
other monsters, and each time he defeats
them without too much trouble. He keeps
moving and fighting, gradually building
up experience from each encounter. After
a little while of doing this, the divine
voice suddenly announces to him that he
has gone from level three to level
eight. Hearing this, he realizes that he
might actually have a shot at beating
the spider now if he plays his cards
right. Just as he is getting ready to
fight again. The spider releases a cloud
of poison gas. The sudden attack makes
him jump up into the trees to avoid it.
While he is up there, he remembers that
he is actually resistant to poison, so
the gas wouldn't affect him at all. He
also realizes that the spider doesn't
know this, which gives him an
opportunity to use the gas to his
advantage. He falls from the tree in a
way that makes it look like he has been
killed by the gas. When the spider comes
closer to feast on him, he takes his
chance. In midair, he hits the spider
with his baby breath and then smacks it
into the ground, defeating it once and
for all. The experience of defeating
such a powerful monster makes his level
jump from 8 to 14, and he feels
incredibly hyped up. Even with this
significant level up, however, he still
does not get the human transformation
skill. This makes him start to wonder if
there is some other condition he has to
meet before obtaining it. On his way
back, he spots a nearby cave that looks
pretty cool. Seeing that no one is
inside it, he decides to make it his own
personal cave. Later, he makes his
dinner inside. After eating, sits back
and reflects. He wonders whether he will
ever be able to coexist with humans, but
quickly realizes that it is unlikely
because of how frightening he looks in
his current plague dragon form. What
makes it even worse is that he still
hasn't gained the human transformation
skill, which makes him start to quietly
regret choosing this form in the first
place. Meanwhile, at a local diner,
Maria is in shock because she just heard
an old-timer claim that he saw Daw
earlier. According to him, he had been
out fishing near the forest when he saw
Da walking deeper into the woods until
he disappeared from sight. Everyone
knows the old man to be a drunkard, so
most of them assume he is just imagining
things or doesn't know what he is
talking about. However, the elder
insists that he saw Daw's clearly. Maria
immediately rushes to tell Marielle what
she heard and asks for permission to
search the forest. Marielle immediately
shuts her down, explaining that there is
no way Daw could still be alive because
if he were, he would have returned to
the village by now. Seeing how much this
has affected Maria, Marielle reassures
her that she will have the guild
investigate the situation and see what
can be done. Maria is grateful to hear
that, feeling a small sense of relief.
The next day, he wakes up feeling
energized and more determined than ever
to achieve human transformation.
However, he notices a strange slime on
the floor nearby. Curious about what it
is, he attempts to check its stats. The
moment he does, his eyes glitch and he
feels a sharp pain that hurts really
badly, despite the discomfort. This
attempt causes his view stats skill to
level up to four. With this new level,
he can finally see a faint image of the
slime's stat screen. As he reads through
it, he cannot believe his eyes. He is
stunned and confused as he wonders why a
slime like that would carry such
incredibly powerful stats far beyond
what he expected for a simple creature.
Just then, the slime tries to attack
him, but he manages to escape before
it's too late. He ends up deciding to
just let the slime be. After that, he
continues his search in a new direction.
A few minutes later, he stumbles across
a neatlooking pot and figures it will be
good to store some fruit. But when he
picks it up, it immediately springs back
and turns out to be a D-rank monster
known as a pottorrtoise, a pot, and a
tortoise at the same time. He
immediately tries to take it out with
his dragon punch. But even after landing
that attack head-on, it barely does any
damage. He figures he may just not be
trying hard enough. So after he hits it
with all he has, the potice just uses
its rest skill to regenerate its health
back to full. Out of frustration, he
just begins to wrestle it and tries the
brute force approach. But its shell is
way too hard for him to pry. So that's
definitely not going to work. But that's
when he remembers that this is a
tortoise and not a turtle. And since
tortoises are known to be terrible
swimmers, he just tosses it into the
river and calls it a day. The system
announces that he just gained 36
experience points after defeating it and
has now got them up to level 15. a
couple of other skills leveled up as
well. So, he's a bit happy about that.
Just as he's about to continue exploring
the forest, he runs into another horde
of potasses. At that moment, he realizes
that his friend had called an allies
before throwing him into the river. And
judging by their expressions, they
clearly aren't too pleased about seeing
their companion get tossed into the
water. So, after a few moments, they
start to combine until they stack on top
of each other. But, this isn't something
he can't handle. So, he just jumps into
the air and throws one at the rest of
them, sending them all crashing down.
Since he defeated so many at once, he
just gained 594 experience points and
went from level 15 to 30 after just one
battle. Seeing that, he starts to get a
little proud of himself. Still, he's a
bit upset that after he defeats a pot or
the shells always get destroyed, which
means he will never get a useful pot. He
continues his search in the forest when
he realizes that he only has 10 more
levels left for his next evolution and
he still hasn't reached the human
transformation yet. So, he wonders how
long it is genuinely going to take. He
walks on for a while, but then comes to
a sudden stop as he senses an eerie aura
and hears some loud footsteps. He hides
in the bushes to watch and sees that it
is a giant bear walking in the distance,
but he can't help but notice that there
is something off about this particular
bear. He tries to view its stats, but
isn't able to since he is too far away.
All he can do is see the bear's details.
He looks at its details and sees that it
is basically the same rank as him, which
means he could beat it if he fought hard
enough. That aside, he recalls it is
called a clay bear, which means it is
shaped like a bear, but made of clay.
So, if he manages to defeat it, he may
be able to mold it into a pot and
finally have a way to store his stuff.
The bear hasn't noticed him so far, so
he thinks about going for a sneak
attack. He drops down from a tree and is
about to attack with his fire punch, but
the bear turns around at the last second
and opens its chest claws, almost biting
him in half. After he manages to
recover, he uses his speed and a hit and
run technique to attack the bear
repeatedly until it is down to almost
half its HP. Seeing this, he thinks he
has an actual shot at winning. But the
bear suddenly uses its regeneration
skill, healing all its wounds and
restoring all its HP. Seeing this, he
realizes that his best chance is to
continue using the hit and run technique
until the bear runs out of MP and can't
heal itself. He does this for a while
and it seems to be working, but just as
he is about to deliver another attack.
The bear suddenly screams and unleashes
an unseen sandstorm attack. This causes
sharp spikes to grow along his back,
which completely prevents him from
continuing to use his hit and run
technique properly. The bear then pulls
several of the spikes from its own body
and begins throwing them one after
another as deadly projectiles. After he
dodges these attacks, he notices that
pieces of clay break off from the spikes
when they strike the ground. And this
immediately gives him a clear idea of
what he can do next. After the bear
throws yet another clay spike at him, he
decides not to just dodge this time.
Instead, he quickly picks it up, molds
the soft clay into a solid ball with his
hands, and then uses it along with his
powerful meteorite attack to strike the
bear directly and finish it off once and
for all. He has finally defeated the
clay bear. And soon after, the divine
voice announces that he has gained 300
experience points and has leveled up
from level 30 all the way to level 33.
On top of that, he now has full access
to the clay. So, he returns back home
and begins carefully preparing a pot
using the clay he collected from the
fight. While the clay pot is cooking and
slowly taking shape, he decides to
venture back into the forest to search
for something to eat. After spending a
good amount of time exploring the area,
he comes across several strange, wild,
and unfamiliar plants that he had no
idea even existed before now, which
makes him both curious and cautious.
Meanwhile, Maria is shown venturing
deeper into the forest despite Marielle
clearly warning her not to go there at
all. Maria remains extremely determined
to search the forest because if there is
even a small chance that Dah is still
alive. She cannot simply stand by and do
nothing while he might be suffering or
in danger. She is not sure whether the
rumor the old man told her about seeing
Da is actually true. But even with that
doubt in her mind, she knows that she
still has to try and search for him
herself. As she continues walking
forward, she encounters a dark worm. But
she quickly defends herself and forces
it back using a strong firebased attack.
She reminds herself that as long as she
stays calm and focused, she should be
able to make it through the forest
safely. While he is busy learning about
the different species of fruits and
vegetables and is actually becoming
quite fascinated by them, Maria is still
out there venturing through the forest
in search of Da. With every step she
takes deeper into the forest, she feels
more and more scared and her heart
starts beating faster. When she reaches
a certain point, she finally decides
that she will only take a quick look
around the outskirts of her village
before turning back and going home,
telling herself not to go any further
than that. Later that night, he gets
home and feels happy when he sees that
his bowl is finally ready. He uses it
along with the vegetables and meat he
gathered earlier that day. And after he
finishes preparing the meal, he takes a
taste. He immediately says that this is
the best thing he has ever eaten in his
life. However, the bowl he made turns
out to be a little hard to drink from
and leaks a bit. So, he decides that he
will make a better and more comfortable
one tomorrow. Then, the next morning, a
carriage is seen passing through a
valley. Inside the carriage is a lady
who is referred to as Princess Melchia,
and she is woken up by two adventurers
traveling with her. The two adventurers
look toward the forest nearby and
quickly agree that this must be the
forest the guild wants them to
investigate. Meanwhile, he has just
returned from hunting wolves. He guts
the wolves and goes into the forest to
lay their pelts out to dry in the open
air. However, this same group of monkeys
keeps coming back and eating parts of
the pelts whenever he leaves them
unattended. and it is really starting to
piss him off. With that in mind, he puts
an evil look on his face and decides to
lace the next batch of pelts with poison
so that when the monkeys come to eat
them, they will die. After making this
decision, he sets out on a journey to
find poisonous flowers. He soon walks
into a wide field filled with colorful
but dangerous poisonous plants, but that
is when he stumbles upon something else
entirely, a type of monster he has never
seen before. He appraises it and finds
out that it is a venom princess Lerta.
But what interests him the most is that
this species only has poison related
skills. The venom princess suddenly runs
away as soon as she notices him, making
him think that she got scared and fled.
However, not long after that, she
suddenly jumps out from nowhere, bites
him on the neck, and immediately
scurries off again. At this point, he
feels completely confused. He wonders
why it would bite him so lightly and
then run away without finishing the
fight. But then a massive wave of poison
suddenly floods through his body. It is
nothing like anything he has ever felt
before. He drops to his knees and
realizes that he cannot even move his
shoulders. Shortly after that, he
collapses to the ground, finally
realizing that this was the Venom
Princess's plan from the very beginning.
He begins to wonder if this poison is
different from the normal kind. From
what he can feel, it is clearly doing
far more damage than it should. His body
feels heavy, his breathing is rough, and
his thoughts are becoming slower. He
understands one clear truth. If he keeps
lying there without thinking or making a
plan, he is definitely going to die.
That thought scares him, but it also
forces his mind to stay active. He
pushes himself to think, asking what he
can possibly do next to survive. After a
short moment of thought, he comes to a
decision. The only way forward is to
learn more about the black lizard that
poisoned him. If he understands the
creature better, maybe he can find a way
to counter the poison. With that hope in
mind, he calls out for an appraisal. The
divine voice answers and begins to
explain. It tells him that the creature
is a D-rank monster. This monster is
known for a very cruel hunting style. It
poisons its prey, then runs away instead
of finishing the kill. After the poison
has fully taken effect, and the prey is
helpless or dead, it comes back to feast
on the remains. The voice continues
giving him more important information.
It explains that this creature known as
the Venom Princess produces her poison
inside her own body. She does this by
consuming poisonous substances over
time. However, there is one critical
weakness. The divine voice reveals that
the bodily fluids of the Venom Princess
are the only known antidote to the
poison sheets. Hearing this changes
everything for him. In that moment, he
fully understands his situation. If he
wants to live, he must capture the venom
princess alive and use her bodily fluids
to cure himself. There is no other
option. Thanks to his poison resistance
skill, he is not completely helpless
yet. Even though his body feels weak, he
can still move a little using what
strength he has left. He activates his
roll skill and begins rolling through
the forest just as he expected. The
Venom Princess does not lose interest.
She's also making use of the roll skill
to stay ahead of him. All of a sudden,
he's struck by a clay spike, and that's
when he realizes that the Venom Princess
can use that skill, too. He continues
rolling for a long while, pushing
himself even as his vision blurs. Then,
a memory suddenly hits him. He remembers
the cliff he jumped over earlier when he
was being chased by the giant spider.
That memory gives him an idea. He
decides to use the same trick again,
this time against the Venom Princess.
Gathering every bit of strength he has
left, he rolls faster and faster. At the
very last second, he turns around and
shoves the Venom Princess off the cliff.
As she begins to fall, relief flashes
through his mind, but that relief
instantly turns into panic. He remembers
that her bodily fluids are what he needs
to survive. If she dies from the fall,
then he has sealed his own fate. Without
hesitation, he jumps off the cliff after
her. Midair, the poison surges through
his body again, hitting him harder than
before. His strength fades rapidly and
his limbs feel like they might stop
working at any moment. Still, he refuses
to give up, summoning the last of his
power. He uses the force from his baby
breath skill. The blast pushes both of
them upward with just enough strength.
They barely make it back to solid
ground. The moment they land, his body
finally gives in. The poison has already
done serious damage, and he can no
longer stay conscious. He collapses to
the ground while the Venom princess ends
up lying on top of his chest. Far away
from the forest, Myra is shown returning
to her village. She has spent yet
another long day searching for Daw,
calling his name and checking every
place she can think of. Once again, she
finds nothing. All of a sudden, Maria
hears Marielle's voice calling out in
the distance. She does not want Marielle
to discover that she has been sneaking
around the forest again. If Marielle
finds out, she will definitely scold her
for it. Acting quickly, Maria rushes out
of the woods and walks toward the voice.
When she reaches Marielle, she puts on a
calm face and greets her like nothing is
wrong. Marielle looks relieved the
moment she sees Maria. She explains that
she has not seen her in a while and
started getting worried. She says she
searched everywhere for her, even going
to Maria's house, but found no sign of
her at all. Because of that, she asks
Maria directly where she has been this
whole time. Maria does not want Marielle
to know the truth, especially that she
has been searching the forest for Dah on
her own. She tells Marielle that she had
a light cold earlier and decided to take
a walk outside to clear her head and get
some fresh air. Marielle listens, but
she does not fully relax. Something
about Maria's answer feels off to her.
She gets the feeling that Maria might be
secretly searching the forest again,
just like before. Because of this
suspicion, Marielle asks her directly if
she has been looking for Da in the
woods. Maria denies it without
hesitation. She repeats that she only
came out for a walk because she was not
feeling well. Seeing how serious Maria
looks, Marielle has no real proof to
argue back. With no other choice, she
accepts the answer and decides to
believe her. Changing the topic,
Marielle then mentions some new
information. She says she heard that a
group of adventurers is already on their
way to survey the forest and search for
Daws. She tells Myra that professionals
are handling it now, so there is no
reason for her to worry so much. She
gently urges Myra to leave the search to
them and focus on staying safe. Maria
nods and listens, even though worry
still fills her heart. Meanwhile, deep
inside the forest, he slowly wakes up.
As his vision clears, he notices the
venom princess sitting in front of him.
At first, he assumes the worst. He
thinks she stayed behind to feast on
him, now that the poison should have
killed him. However, as he tries to
move, he realizes something strange. His
arms no longer feel heavy and the
burning pain from the poison is gone.
That is when it finally clicks. The
venom princess did not stay to eat him.
She actually gave him the antidote.
Somehow, she used her own bodily fluids
to save his life. With this realization,
he understands something else as well.
After he jumped off the cliff to save
her, the venom princess must have taken
a liking to him. Instead of seeing him
as prey, she now sees him as something
different. In that quiet moment, a bond
begins to form between them. This
becomes the start of their strange but
genuine friendship. Later, he decides to
take her back to his home. Once they
arrive, he prepares a simple dinner for
both of them. As they sit and eat
together, he feels something he has not
felt in a long time. He feels comfort.
He realizes that this is the first time
in a while that he has eaten with
someone else. The loneliness he had been
feeling slowly fades. After spending
more time together, a thought crosses
his mind. Neither of them has a name. He
begins to think about what he could name
the Venom Princess. Many ideas come and
go, but after a while, he stops himself.
He realizes that names are not really
necessary. What matters is that they
understand each other and are no longer
alone. After that, he and the Venom
Princess slowly become very close. Over
time, they turn into true partners and
begin working together to hunt their
prey. They learn how to move together,
when to attack, and when to fall back.
As the days pass, her presence starts to
feel normal to him. It no longer feels
strange to have her around. Instead, it
feels natural, like this is how things
are supposed to be now. There is only
one thing he still has trouble getting
used to. The Venom Princess does not
like normal food at all. She refuses to
eat anything he gives her. Instead, she
only prefers poisonous plants that grow
deep in the forest. The poison mushroom
smells really bad, so wanting her to
stop, he uses his baby breath to burn it
before she can eat it. The moment he
does this, the venom princess gets
clearly upset. He immediately
understands that he made a mistake. To
her, those plants are not dangerous
food. They are her source of strength.
Burning them feels like an attack on
something important to her. So, to make
up for it, he promises to get her some
later. Before he can think of where to
find some, something unexpected happens.
Out of nowhere, a powerful presence
appears. A rare monster known as a twin
head steps into view and blocks their
path. The creature has two heads, each
with a different color and expression.
From the way it stares at them, it is
clear that it is looking for a fight. He
freezes for a brief moment. This is a
monster he has never seen before. He
quickly notices the strong aura coming
from it and senses danger. As he
observes it more closely, he realizes
that it has multiple special skills like
gravity. This makes his confidence
shake. He is not sure if he can defeat
something like this. Doubt creeps into
his mind. But he does not let it control
him. Even with the danger right in front
of them. Neither he nor the Venom
princess is willing to give up. They
exchange a quick look and silently agree
to fight together. They form a simple
plan. He will face the twin head
directly and keep its attention. While
the venom princess hides in a tree and
waits for the right moment to strike
with her poison. He charges forward and
attacks first, trying to test the
monster's strength. The Twin Head
responds immediately, striking back with
force. The counterattack is strong
enough to push him back, forcing him to
retreat and regain his balance. Before
he can react again, the blue head
suddenly opens its mouth and begins
casting magic. A glowing magic circle
appears beneath him, and in an instant,
the gravity around him increases
dramatically. His body slams into the
ground as the gravity becomes almost
unbearable. Feeling like it is a h 100
times heavier than normal, he struggles
to move and his muscles screaming under
the pressure. Just when it seems like he
is trapped, the venom princess makes her
move from her hiding spot. She fires a
clay dart coated with poison at the twin
head. The attack interrupts the spell
and the gravity effect disappears,
freeing him. The moment he regains
control of his body, he leaps into the
air with everything he has left. He
unleashes his baby breath directly at
the twin head, hitting it headon. He
expects the attack to finish the
monster. However, to his shock, the twin
head regenerates its health right before
his eyes. Although surprised, he does
not panic. Instead, he feels a sense of
relief. In that short exchange, he has
learned something important. He now
understands that the blue head is
responsible for casting magic while the
red head handles physical attacks. With
this knowledge, he knows their next move
will be smarter and more focused. He
rushes straight toward the twin head
without slowing down. The red head snaps
forward and bites into him. Pain shoots
through him, but he does not scream.
This was exactly what he planned. While
the red head is focused on biting him,
he twists his body and throws a fast,
powerful uppercut straight into the blue
head. The blow lands cleanly and knocks
the blue head off balance. That brief
opening is all the Venom Princess needs.
She leaps down from her hiding place and
bites the blue head, delivering a direct
poison bite. The twin head roars in pain
and immediately activates its
regeneration skill. At first, it seems
like the wounds are healing, but then
something strange happens. Even as the
flesh regenerates, the monster's HP
continues to drop. The poison is far
stronger than its healing ability.
Seeing this, he feels confident for the
first time. He is sure that this battle
is now theirs to win. Suddenly, the twin
head does something no one expected. The
poison has only spread through the blue
head's side of the body. to stop it from
spreading any further. The red head
bites down hard and tears the blue head
off completely. He freezes in shock,
unable to believe what he just
witnessed. A moment later, he feels a
small sense of relief. With the blue
head gone, the monster can no longer use
magic. That relief does not last long.
It turns out that sacrificing one of its
heads is part of the twin head's special
abilities. The blue head, even though it
has been torn off, is still alive. It
hits the ground and immediately starts
moving on its own. Without wasting time,
it turns and begins chasing after the
Venom Princess. He tries to rush after
her, but the red head blocks his path.
He is forced to stay and fight. With
magic no longer in play, the battle
becomes a test of pure strength and
technique. The red head attacks
fiercely, swinging and biting with
everything it has. He responds with
steady movements and sharp counters,
refusing to back down. The fight does
not last long. Using his experience and
timing, he finds an opening and
unleashes his nutcracker technique. The
attack lands perfectly and ends the red
head's life once and for all. As the
silence settles in, his heart starts
racing again. He remembers the other
head. Panic fills him as he realizes the
Venom princess is still in danger. She
is the only friend he has made since
coming to this world. In that moment, he
does not care about turning back into a
human or gaining new powers. He silently
begs the gods to let her still be alive.
He searches desperately through the
area. After what feels like forever, he
finally sees movement. The Venom
Princess crawls out from behind a bush.
Badly wounded but alive. Relief floods
his body. Before he can reach her, the
blue head suddenly appears from behind.
Lunging forward to finish her off. He
reacts without thinking. Using only his
bare hands, he grabs the blue head and
crushes it with all his strength, ending
the threat once and for all. When it is
finally over, he rushes to the Venom
princess and pulls her into his arms. He
holds her tightly and tells her that he
does not care about becoming human
anymore. He says he is fine being a
dragon as long as he can stay with her.
At that moment, the systems voice echoes
in his mind, announcing his new stat
increases. It then adds one final
message, stating that he has unlocked
human transformation. His eyes widen in
shock as he hears this. Meanwhile, back
at the village, Maria and Marielle are
busy preparing for the arrival of the
adventurers. Maria wonders what kind of
people they will be since their village
rarely gets visitors. Just then, they
hear a knock at the door. Moments later,
the adventurers step inside. That was
