I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 Secrets of the Dragons
Previous story:
Damian sent Rexus to find the cherry. The search will take a long time because cherry fruit only exists in the human world. Damian did that because he felt an extremely strong enemy approaching from afar. After Rexus left, Lena came. He asked Damian for a dragon heirloom. Damian refuses and says he doesn't have it at all so the fight ensues. Lena used her dark magic technique to suck blood and Damian mana. The dragon died.
***
Lena then left the cave when there was no more dragon body left. He was completely confused and disappointed. He thought he could carry the dragon carcass, but it turned out that the dragon disappeared into particles of light.
A few minutes later, after Lena left, a man suddenly came out from the corner of the cave covered in darkness. The man had waist-long green hair and a tattered robe, making him look almost naked.
The man bit his lips then slowly tears began to flow down his cheeks.
"My mighty body, arghh!" he fell to his knees and shouted like a madman.
Ren arrived shortly afterwards. And he froze as he looked at the tattered figure in front of him, who was crying while scavenging the ground.
"..."
"Rweeennn" the figure whined while holding Ren's leg. "I lost my mighty body that I had for years..."
"...."
Veins of annoyance appeared in Ren's head. Then he suddenly swung his leg, making the strange man's hand loose from his leg.
"I really wasted my time going to this place" Ren said annoyedly. He thought Damian was in danger because someone was after him but it turned out that his statement was wrong.
"You're not wasting your time" the man whined. "That red-eye Elf appeared again in this world. And he suddenly attacked me and killed me"
"That's because you're weak" Ren replied Coldly.
"I'm not weak"
"You're weak" Ren replied straightforwardly. "Oh, I have business. Really wasting time"
Ren had already turned away, but Damian stopped him. "You know I can't go back to being a dragon anymore, right? My mighty body is dead now"
"Yes, then?"
"..."
"Thankfully you're alive" Ren replied indifferently. Then he left Damian quickly.
Damian is still sobbing. The human body is very weak. He could do nothing with this weak and fragile body. If the enemy attacked him, he would really die on the spot.
He was not at all willing that Rexus would suddenly look at him with ridiculing eyes because of his frail condition. His pride as a parent would be completely destroyed.

Dragons are magical beasts full of mystery. Their existence is very hidden and considered a myth by many others. But it is true that they are a myth and their population is very few. There are very few adult dragons that survive for several hundred years, but the discovery of baby dragons is extremely rare. Dragons are very difficult to reproduce.
Dragons are not magic beasts. They were one of the living beings who were given the ability to fight and think, just like humans and elves.
When they reach a certain age, they have enough mana to change their form into humans. Because of this, dragons with beast forms are very difficult to find because the dragon clan mingles with humans without them knowing.
Although there are still some dragons that maintain their form to reproduce. The dragon lives in groups. Proud of their being and never willing to turn into a human being.
There is a law among dragons. If they decided to change their form, their noble blood would disappear. So there are many dragons who do not want to do it to defend their pure blood. But there are also many who change their form and blend with humans because they are complacent with the pleasure that exists in the human world.
But they cannot continuously change their form from one to another. They can only change twice. At the second change, they would not be able to return to being a dragon figure and be trapped in a human body forever.
Therefore, there were some dragons who died in their group of dragons and spent a long time as humans and enjoyed their lives as humans for several hundred years. When they get bored, they can return to the dragon form and hibernate and reproduce. But there were some dragons who died in the form of humans and no one knew that the man was a dragon.
And there are some dragons that try to live with humans. They can live together but humans will die faster and the dragons never age. And dragons cannot produce offspring when they are with humans. They can only make descendants of their fellow people. That is why their population is almost extinct.
Damian is one of the dragons who changed his form. And she lived together with her beloved woman for several years. It then turns back into a dragon when the human dies.
But dragons that have changed in human form also have weaknesses. They could not use dragon magic and the human body was very weak and easily injured. They only had a long life to maintain, but their abilities as dragons disappeared. They could only use the human magic they had already learned.
Damian, the old dragon had already used change magic once. He intended to hibernate and die in the form of a dragon. He knew that his lifespan would not be long anymore and he had already weakened due to his old age.
Should've. Until the enemy came and tried to kill him. He had to dispose of his dragon body and get trapped in this human body until he died.
His heart felt torn. He likes his dragon body. Because it looks stronger and cooler. He does not like human form. Only a weak skinny human man would never age! His human appearance was really weak. Even he looks like a sickly person.
"I'm cursed..." Damian wailed one last time while laying himself on his favorite straw mattress.
"Ughhh!" but he felt that the straws were piercing his body. His mattress was once very soft, now turned into a pile of trash. Because the straw mattress does not fit the human tube.
"How do I use human magic?" Damian started thinking. He remembered that he had learned about human magic fifty years ago since his last change. And now he had forgotten it altogether!
Damian nibbled his lips. Then he stared at the ceiling of the cave, which had been destroyed by the fight, so that it only showed the view of the night sky.
"I'm really cursed..."
