The Dragon Lord System
S1 - Immersed in Mystery

"Why should I be afraid?, I am now a dragon?"

Exactly right! I am a powerful and mighty dragon, no one can defeat me!

So, who am I supposed to fear? Maybe only a hungry wolf or a rat stole my food, but not a great mythical creature like me!

"Muehehe"

"Well, it's time to eat again!"

Let's continue this dinner party! I devoured the stone inscription with high spirit. The sounds of crunch and twitching rang out as I savored each bite.

Nyoms...

Nyoms...

Krunch...

Swallow...

"Oh, how good!"

The best foods are those that not only fill the stomach, but also give you new knowledge.

I could feel the power of knowledge flowing through my body every time I ate this inscription stone.

As I continued to eat, I now knew where the forest I was living in was.

Information about the Elysian Forest flowed into my mind.

I don't know if his name is still the same or not, but this is the place I call home.

Hmm, on the north side of this forest is the Everblue Sea, my birthplace as a dragon.

The ocean is so vast and blue, giving me so many wonderful memories. How I miss her beauty.

"Do I have to go back to the ocean?"

No, I was afraid to meet that creepy creature I met....

Hm..

"Eh, no other information about the other regions?, Just the Everblue Ocean alone?"

Hmm, it seems that the information is incomplete, Unfortunately, there is no map I have found.

Although the information is still limited, I am happy to be able to gain some knowledge about the monsters and this area.

However, I feel that there is a strong desire to eat more illustrated inscriptions.

Perhaps by changing the taste a little, I was able to gain more interesting and useful knowledge.

Come, let's continue my culinary adventure filled with new knowledge and unforgettable taste!

*bigit!*

*munch Munch's!*

*Chicken-brow!*

*Tellown...*

I wonder what is written here.

I decided to eat the inscription that only contained characters, which was next to the monster inscription.

Sniff, sniff... The wont is good ~

If the inscription with the previous illustration is like pizza, it smells sweet like fruit. So fresh. It's perfect for changing the taste.

Now, let's eat.

Devouringly, I devoured an inscription that only contained characters of great size.

Crunches!, Punch, munch...

Nyamm.. Telann

Oh, knowledge flows in. Now, let's see...

It turns out that this is information about

...The Sword of Time, Chronos....

There is an explanation of the location of the seal, how to unseal it, and the power of the sword. Wow, really something amazing!

I continued to eat other inscriptions that only contained characters. And suddenly, something else appeared too...

Information was flowing into my brain about an incredible number of weapons: the:

...Divine Blade Excalibur, Celestial Sword Solstice, Seraphic Saber Aetherius, Inferno Blade Brimstone, Thunderstrike Sword Tempest, Bloodmoon Blade Eclipse, Abyssal Scythe Voidreaver, Frostbite Blade Glacialis, Soulstealer Katana Oblivion, and Stormrender Claymore Zephyr....

As it turned out, the inscription next to the monster drawing book was about weapons. More precisely, the details about the sacred and legendary weapons.

However, the names of these weapons are so dangerous! God Killer's... A creepy name and a creepy attack power.

What was especially written was the way to use the weapon, the location of the seal, how to release the seal, and its power.

I have to be honest, I have trouble believing in the power and effects of these weapons.

"What does it mean to stop time? What does it mean that one punch can split the sea?"

Just one attack...

Wew, it's creepy.

I can't imagine how powerful these weapons are.

"Was it because of that formidable power, many artifacts were sealed?"

Oh, ow...

This world is scary.

Every step I take in this world unlocks more amazing and terrible secrets.

I must be vigilant and continue to maintain my vigilance while exploring this mysterious world.

And in the explanation it is mentioned that in this world there are two common things:

it's "magic" and [skill].

I realized that as a dragon, I had a natural [skill], but did not have access to "magic" because it required "Mana" to use it, while [skill] had a Cooldown or recovery time lag.

It seems like "magic" and [skills] can display weapon effects and can also be used by monsters. I understand this now.

It turns out that as a dragon, I don't have "magic" because I don't have "Mana". Easy to understand, I only have [skills]. In fact, it made me realize that this place was a fantasy world similar to a game.

The world is scary and full of mysteries.

I feel like there are a lot of things that have yet to be revealed and are challenging to explore.

Oh yeah, I remember my friend Alex. I hope he's okay in the world before.

next is the magic stone.

Who would have thought that the gemstone I ate was a magic stone. Wow, so that's kind of magic stone, not an ordinary stone that you can meet in the park.

"Eeh?, I just remember Zara once said that"

Ah, forgive my stupid dragon brain.

As the name implies, this magic stone contains magic power.

And it should be noted, this is no ordinary gem, yes. Don't get me wrong!

"Well, so this magic stone is some kind of battery, huh? An energy source that can activate magic tools"

So, you could say this magic stone is a magic battery. Simply put, this magic stone was the heart of a magic tool.

Apparently, by processing this magic stone, you can also make a variety of cool magic tools.

Magic stones of good quality will most likely produce magic tools that have a greater effect.

So, think carefully when choosing the magic stone you want, yes. Who knows, I could be the inventor of the greatest magic tool of all time!

"Wait, so what does it mean to process magic stones? Do I have to chew it or cook it like food? Hehe"

it seems like I should read more about how to cultivate this magic stone.

By the way, the stone statue I made turned out to be a magic tool as well. Awesome, right?

This stone statue is known as a golem. It turned out that the performance of the golem depended on the stone materials used and of course the magic stone.

Ah, now that I remember, Zara had mentioned something about the golem before.

But, well, I didn't pay much attention to it back then. I'm more focused on acting as a great dragon, hehehehe.

However, now that I found the information about the magic tool here, everything became clear.

It turned out that this golem statue was very useful and had tremendous potential.

Maybe I can make a golem that can help me in finding food.

The food golem, yes, it would definitely be an incredible culinary breakthrough!

"Aaargh, my dragon brain is so stupid, my brain is stupid!"

"Huaa"

Let's continue.

Now, after I found the information about the magic tool here, everything became clear.

I felt like I was finding a "manual instruction" for my new life.

It's certainly very useful. Who would have thought that bringing out a new skill brought me to this strange building.

Alright, time to continue eating the inscription in the next place.

I enthusiastically moved slowly towards the next inscription stone.

But, wait a minute! It turned out that here, not just the inscriptions, the characters were carved on murals and even the land itself.

I couldn't help but eat it, even though it looked sacred.

Hey, I'm now a dragon, who cares about human rules!

Nyoms... Swallow... Eeeh??

Suddenly, new information flowed into my mind.

...*Celestial Seraphdragons, graceful winged snakes with divine powers....

...The image that flashed across the head was an amazing sight: a winged snake with 6 pairs of graceful white wings, horns emitting rays of light, and a, and a 10-meter-long golden-white scaly body that emitted a golden aura....

"Wait a minute, isn't that the evolutionary choice I left behind before turning into a 4-colored dragon?"

Ah, crap! It was like regret coming too late. Why didn't I choose this cooler evolution option?!

Aaarghhh, my height as a 4 colored dragon is only 5 meters and mediocre, while the Celestial Seraphdragons are so stunning with 3 pairs of large wings.

Regrets always come at the end.

Damnit damnit! But hey, at least I still have the taboo skill [DEVOURER]. With this skill, I can eat anything and become bigger and stronger.

So, it doesn't matter if I am only 5 meters tall, because in my stomach is stored amazing power!

Not caring about the little bit of regret that remained, I continued to eat.

Nyoms...

Nyoms...

New information started flowing into my brain. Apparently, this is about

...*Devil King Leonidas and Hero Cassius....

Uh, a story about a demon king and a hero? I wonder, how's the story?

The knowledge that flowed into my mind told me about the epic battle between the demon lord and the hero in this world.

The human race on the continent of "Valeria" is threatened by creatures known as demons, creatures that have control over monsters.

They have high intelligence, advanced magic abilities, and an insatiable desire to make humans their slaves.

To counter this threat, they fought against the continent of Valeria.

And in the midst of that war, a brave hero appeared! Eeh, the story is too general as told.

"Skip!, too long and boring"

Unfortunately, this story is too long for me. If this were a book, it would definitely exceed a million words.

I wonder if I can understand it little by little. Although this knowledge is useful, it is difficult to examine everything now.

Well, maybe it would be better if I read it later from memory when I have free time.

At the very least, it would be a good way to spare some free time.

......................

After obtaining information about the demons, I realized that this information did not give any clue as to the location of the demons.

"Maybe it was deliberately kept secret, huh? Ah, so mysterious"

I know very little about strength, characteristics, and where to find them. But it's just rough information.

However, even so far away, there was still one question that stuck.

Who exactly made this inscription or, rather, this building?

Everything is buried so deep in the ground. Either these were human ruins or were artificially created by human hands or one person.

I can only speculate based on the knowledge I have gained so far.

Although I actually didn't really care who made it at first, but I felt grateful for having learned so much from him.

Looking so far, I've learned about monsters, magic stones, weapons, and the history of brave heroes and demon kings.

But this is only half of this place. It is amazing how the world is so vast and full of wonders.

"Hoaamaammm"

Hua...

After being full like this, I started to feel sleepy. Maybe I should rest here for today.

"Good night, mysterious world!"

I also fell asleep on the Demon King Leonidas inscription, with the Hero Cassius inscription as my blanket.

Who knows, this might just be the most comfortable sleep I have ever felt in the midst of these ruins!
