The Dragon Lord System
S1 - The Roar of the Dragon

I swam towards the land exhausted.

"Finally there!"

I came out of the sea and walked on my four feet on this land, breathing as usual.

It felt strange after hours at sea.

All right, basic needs.

I was tired and wanted to find a safe bed.

However, as I looked around, there was no cave at all for my resting shelter. Only the wilderness and rocky mountains were as far as the eye could see.

"There's no Goa at all!

I decided to find a safe place.

However, after walking for an hour with fatigue approaching, I have not found the cave.

I saw a lot of animals in this wilderness during the walk.

But there is no Goa in sight.

"Really!"

what if a huge ferocious monster eats me?!

"I don't want to die so soon, shit!"

I feel frustrated.

"Do I have to dig to find a hiding place?"

But can I eat the soil?

Hm...

all right, I'll try. If it's not good, I can spit it out, right?

I licked the ground and put it in my mouth, chewing slowly.

Wew, it tastes sweet and delicious, just like when I ate sand.

All right, time to dig while enjoying this dish.

"HEY!"

I continued to dig deeper while eating the soil.

It seems good if I stay inside the land like this.

If any strange ferocious animal in this world finds me, I don't think I can win against it.

"Better still, maybe I should just stay and make a house in the ground?"

When I think about it, now I can eat stones.

If I continue to eat, I will eventually make a hole in the underground.

Cheap and environmentally friendly.

No need for loans, all cash.

But my point here is I don't have any money at all.

That's why I'm going to build it myself.

Yosh! , I'll do it right now. It's been a long time since I've eaten, my stomach is now more spacious.

I mean, the body's energy consumption is too much.

I'm hungry, but I'm still a baby.

Maybe it has something to do with my growth.

Let me not think about it too much.

Now, my body is itching somehow.

When I scratched my body, my skin easily peeled off.

"What is this?!"

Looks like yellow-brown bark.

Oh, is this a skin-changing process? Which is called molting?, because I'm a reptile.

"Hmm? Is the dragon a reptile?"

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate.

Fiuu~ has been peeled off neatly.

"It's certain that lizards and crabs shed their skin to grow, right?"

Oh, if you look closely, I've become much bigger.

This dragon is growing fast, I am also very hungry.

Throwing away the skin in that place, at least for now, it is time to eat.

Ah, I need to dig a little extra space because I think my body is getting bigger.

"Haizzz"

Chewing along the way, there was a change in taste.

A slightly soft taste. Looking at it, the layer of soil had turned into a layer of yellow clay.

"Hmm. It tastes like creamy soup"

I like this.

Waita minute. For clay, if I don't want to eat it, I can dig by hand.

The previous layer was too hard, so I had no choice but to chew it.

This time it will be much easier to dig by hand.

Yosh, let's dig. Dig, dig, dig. I dug the ground with my front foot and scratched it with my back foot.

I feel like a mole rat.

Right now, it's me. Haha. Eat, eat, eat, dig, dig, dig, dig.

While filling my hungry stomach, I continued digging through the ground.

Oh, I managed to dig deep enough to hide my upper body.

If possible, I'd like to finish my house before sundown.

I keep digging like crazy.

A simple job like this might be suitable for someone like me.

"It's done!"

I feel like there's a feeling of success.

It took me a couple of hours to dig this.

Finally, the hole is done.

Now I can put my whole body in it.

I finally got my dream home.

Yes, far from being a house call, this is just an ordinary cave.

It really feels like a nest of wild animals, to be honest.

But I'm so proud of him.

In my previous life, I couldn't even get a house even if I tried to buy it on loan.

Very small salary.

I've been working for 3 years, but why hasn't my salary increased at all?

Fixed overtime payment without overtime benefit! There is no pay raise!

On the other hand, my workload is constantly increasing.

Stop thinking about those empty days.

I don't care anymore.

Anyway, I have no problem sleeping here.

Eventually, I will make a bigger bed.

Or make more room.

I also want to make a room to store various objects such as eggs and various kinds.

"Hehehe, my dream is coming true"

But it's going to be tomorrow.

Now, after being full and tired from moving all day, I will go to sleep first.

I bowed my body in the newly created hole.

Just in case, I closed the entrance of the hole and disguised it so as not to be seen from the outside.

Make a small hole to let air in, everything is ready.

"good night"

Darkened.

Then morning came.

I don't know how long I slept. I thought it was morning because the sun was rising.

Somehow, it feels like the sun is closer.

It might be noon.

One more thing. I can't get out. It felt like my body was stuck inside when I slept.

Before going to bed, the hole is wide enough for my round body.

But when I woke up, my body had filled up the entire hole space.

I can't sleep anymore, I'm awake.

"What's this?"

I want to know my status and call STATUS! And I see my status panel.

...[.STATUSES]...

...Name: Calliga...

...Species: Dragon??...

...Level: Level 10 (50 XP required to level up)...

...Health Point/HP: 28...

...Strength: 13...

...Defense: 25...

...Speed: 30...

...Evolutionary level: 1...

^^^[HOST GETS BONUS 4 STATS POINT!]^^^

Hmm.., I'll keep my bonus points stats.

And I saw my lowest stats, huh My Evolution Level became 1?!

Though I didn't do anything" just eating soil and rocks is weird!

And my level becomes 10 and my evolution rate becomes 1.

"Hmmm this explains why my body is getting bigger"

"Eeh, can't I level up for eating too much land?! Is that possible?" muttered my curiosity.

Maybe so is the growth of the dragon.

"Is the dragon's growth fast?"

I don't know...

But still, I need to get out of my house first.

Fuu, I'm out.

I understood, so I grew and changed skin during my sleep.

I really grew up fast.

I had to expand my home one day.

This is unexpected.

But it's okay.

Exploring will be delayed for now.

I need to expand my house first

I'm hungry too.

Coincidentally, the expansion of my house would also be my breakfast.

"Good Eat!"

Nyams... Nyams... Nyams...

What I'm eating right now is the kind of clay I got yesterday.

I can dig with my hand, but since I'm hungry, I'll eat first.

Yes, it tastes delicious and has a liquid texture.

"Is it possible that I can become a soil sommelier expert?"

"Hehe"

Was there a land sommelier before in my previous life?, Maybe not.

NOTES:

Soil sommeliers are experts who understand with depth the characteristics and qualities of the soil in the world of wine, guiding the best selection to produce unique flavors and aromas.

I ate the land around me to expand this place.

As I did so, I found a different layer of soil.

"Eeh?, the ground is red like clay?"

The next soil I found was red soil.

Moreover, in that layer, I found red gemstones scattered everywhere.

Not to mention, they are huge.

As I continued to dig, there were more of them.

It's delightful.

I stared at the bright red gemstone.

It's exquisite.

"Wow, is this supposed to be?"

Isn't this type of gemstone usually used in jewelry?

Is it sold at a high price? I thought

are so.

It may be valuable to humans, but to me now, it's meaningless.

In other words, Happy Eating!

For a dragon like me, there is no point in keeping it.

The soil can be delicious for this body.

Without a doubt, gemstones would also be delicious.

More than that, the desire to eat is leaking from my body.

Like my body pulled him.

Throw, catch.

Nyams... Nyams... Nyams...

Glucose……………

Glucose....

This thing is here, somehow ....

amazingly delicious !!

What is this exactly?!

This stone is amazingly delicious!

Looking at her appearance, I never imagined it would feel so incredible!

It tastes rich and delicious like eating the best meat stews.

Very delicious.

Besides, I can't get bored with it, no matter how much I eat!

"Seriously, what is this? It's really delicious"

I can't stop the movement of my hands and mouth.

Every time I dig, there's always more of them.

It was as if I was eating from the end of a pipe.

"This is what exactly?" I said with curiosity.

Every time I eat this stone, I feel full of energy.

Is correct. It's close to the feeling I felt when I ate a strange caterpillar yesterday.

I filled myself with a lot of energy.

So, in other words, it should be.

The rocks and soil here definitely have a high nutritional value!

I'm certain.

Moreover, it not only gives me a lot of energy but is also good for digestion and absorption.

It's great.

Stuck to him, I kept eating.

In the process, I changed my skin a few times.

My body is bigger than the beginning.

However, as I continued to eat, my body also grew warmer.

Well, I wonder if it has some effect on my blood circulation.

Looks like lava with infrared ray effect.

Uuoooghh, I almost burped.

But I won't do it in my own house.

Let's go out first.

"Burghhr-GroaaaOOO!!"

In an instant, a mass of burning flames shot out from my mouth.

"Did?"

The heavy burning flames melted the surrounding soil and rock, causing the scene to become distorted by the gleaming hot air rising from the melted rock.

"Eh? What-what does this mean?!"

"Must, fire is clearly coming out of my mouth, right?"

"Isn't this what they call

Dragon's Breath?"

And I heard the sound of the system.

...[.DING DONG!]...

...CONGRATULATIONS HOSTS GET PASSIVE SKILL...

...[.DRAGON BREATH] Lv 1....

"Huh!, this is so cool!"

I've never played a game before, so I don't know much about it.

I think I've seen it in movies before.

It's amazing, so it's my breath.

Oh ... Once again, I realized that I was no longer human.

I'll be honest here.

That's so cool!

Somehow, the feelings I once left after becoming an adult worker came back to me.

I feel nostalgic about it.

"Yes! Let's do it again"

Describing that feeling, I tried to remember how I did it.

Yep. My body temperature is rising.

The lungs get hot.

Blood boils. I could feel the power stirring within me.

"Yosh, let's do it!"

I will do my best to do it in a more conspicuous manner.

This time, a deeper breath.

"Huuaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ....."

Hot, my insides are hot.

I could feel a kind of energy flowing through my veins and spinning inside me.

After that, it condensed and concentrated on a single point.

………………

…….

"Grrrrrrrrrroooaaaaaaaaaarrr !!"

I spat out my most powerful breath to bring out my passive skill.

Which is success.

A mass of flame that was several times larger than before was released, subverting the surrounding stones and creating a huge explosion.

The whole place was then covered by a cloud of dust.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Not long after, the rising hot air caused a dust storm to occur.

Soon enough, many rocks fell on me.

However, this wind was nothing compared to a dragon like me.

The stones hit the scales, but at all

not painful.

It really feels like a fantasy movie!

Now I get it.

The solitude in this human world is because I am no longer human.

Like, this world itself feels like a game.

"Well, with this I feel comforted!"
