CHAPTERS
‘…….’ I glanced down the hallway. The sunset had already vanished. A deep blue evening hung like a curtain, obscuring the far end of the corridor. My hesitation was brief. I jumped up and grabbed the doorknob. Click. I squeezed through the narrow gap of the open door and slipped inside. Thick curtains hung, plunging the room into darkness. Without my beastly eyes, I would have seen nothing. …Musty. The peculiar, musty smell of dust from a long-abandoned place mingled with…- 171.8 K • Completed
- This is suffocating! What the hell, am I some kind of pet bird?! And even if you raise a real bird like this, you’d get cursed at, idiot! You should at least take it for walks! When cleaning was needed, they’d move me to an identical cage and take the old one away to wash it. Damn it… My insides were boiling, but I stayed quiet for a few days to avoid upsetting Kaelus, who had barely started acting like a human. I didn't even speak. Because when I did speak, his reaction…

- “Can I take him out?” “Uh, that's...” Clunk. While Nitan hesitated, the man flicked his middle and thumb fingers. The four sides collapsed outward like a disassembling structure. I found myself standing in an open space. My pupils dilated. Magic...! I properly examined the man. He was such a textbook mage, I wondered why I hadn't noticed right away. A dark-colored robe reaching down to his shins. Geometric patterns embroidered in gold and navy thread adorned the cuffs and…

- ‘Yes. That did happen.’ Tortan shrugged his shoulders. “I was clinging to a sliver of hope there, but if you don’t have any clues, then there’s nothing to be done.” Kaelus’s expression didn’t relax. “Well, it feels a bit awkward for me to say this after starting it, but don't worry too much about it. Like I said before, I think it's highly likely it just naturally disappeared over time.” “You mean the legendary artifact?” “After a thousand years or so, wouldn't…

- Tortan smiled contentedly and gestured toward the inner part of the reception room. “Come in. Even if it weren't for that matter, there's much we need to discuss.” “Your Majesty, if I may be so bold... Might I take my leave now? I have an overwhelming amount of work piled up...” “Ah, Nitan. Do so.” “And speaking of which, about that manpower recruitment I mentioned last time...” “You must be busy. Go now. It was good to see you!” Thud. The door…

- Day four. We arrived in Richmond. “Open the gate! Open the gate!” “What? The side gate? Stop talking nonsense and open the main gate! The dragon's coming in!” Several strong men pulled together, forcing the massive castle gate open wide on both sides. I barely managed to keep my jaw from dropping. Everyone was staring at me. For some reason, my neck stiffened. Strangely, I found myself thrusting my chest forward. As I stepped inside, cheers erupted from all…

- There were a few hiccups along the way, but ultimately, Rotol's journey to the capital was confirmed. And thanks to Rotol's recommendation (read: sheer stubbornness), Mirim and Odan were also joining the party. Mirim was no problem. But when Kaelus and Nitan saw Odan, their expressions froze simultaneously. “...Sirs? Is there a problem?” The village chief asked cautiously. Their reaction was unusual. Instead of the still-frozen Kaelus, Nitan smiled and replied. “No. He’s just so…

- An explosive lion's roar erupted from the tiny body. The sound was cute, but the volume was immense. The siblings were startled and nearly fainted. The second sibling rolled around and nearly tumbled out of the nest. The terrified dragon parent blocked the nest's edge with his tail. The reptile's vertically slit pupils dilated in shock. Ha! I puffed out my chest. Though currently smaller than average, I did my best to show I would be a great dragon someday. The parent dragon snorted once, then…

- Kaelus sighed. Nothing about the situation was to his liking right now. Not the situation where he had to tolerate a non-imprinted Kremlis among humans. Not the dragon that didn't have a single dragon-like trait to his name. ...Not even the fact that he'd received help from that dragon. “......” He still found the dragon repulsive. He believed all those beasts that pretended to be tamed, deceiving humans, deserved to die. ‘……But.’ He didn't intend to deny the facts…

- Kyaaaah! “Eeek!” “Aaah! Spear! Bring me a spear!” Crack! “Aaah!” I rampaged like a mad beast. I bit, clawed, and lashed out with my tail at anything in sight. If they ran, I chased them down and killed them. The soldiers, who had initially tried to fight back, scattered like a swarm of bees. The villagers, quick-witted, grabbed the village chief and fled to the open village hall. Rotol followed the village chief, wailing loudly. Good “Don't run! Look closely!…
