Max opened his eyes and saw nothing but darkness.
He was no longer in the room he was familiar with, nor was he lying on the bed he was familiar with.
He vaguely remembered that it was his 18th birthday the previous night, and he had played all night with his family and friends.
He had originally planned to wake up early to pack up his belongings.
After all, he was already 18 years old, and it was time for him to move out and live on his own.
However, the sudden change in his surroundings had left Max rather confused.
He felt as if he was immersed in honey, as his surroundings were extremely sticky.
It reminded him of whenever he finished playing basketball with his partner. His body would be covered in sweat, drenched without even taking a bath, and his clothes would stick to his body.
Nevertheless, what baffled Max even more was that even though he was in such a situation, his heart was filled with a sense of relief.
Oddly enough, he felt that as long as he immersed in the sticky fluid around him, he was absolutely safe.
Max was extremely puzzled. He was experiencing two completely contradictory emotions, after all.
However, there was nothing he could do to leave his situation. After all, when he tried to stretch his limbs earlier, his body did not respond at all.
It was not that he was being restrained, rather, none of his limbs had responded!
At this moment, Max was a little flustered.
A suspicion arose within his heart.
'Could I be paralyzed, or could I have drunk so much last night that I lost control over my motor functions?"
'But that's impossible. My sense of touch is still intact. It's clear that my nerves are not paralyzed. Moreover, I'm not a light drinker. There's no way that a couple of cans of beer would paralyze my bodily functions!'
Max was certain that the current situation he was in was very likely related to the birthday bash last night.
After all, it was the most recent memory he had!
Before he knew it, he was stuck in his current predicament, and this was obviously not his parents' home.
His parents loved him very much, and obviously, they would not play such a cruel joke on him.
'So what's the reason for this sudden development?'
Max's heart suddenly froze.
In the face of such an unknown situation, he decided that he needed to gather information about his surroundings.
Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out.
A strong explosion accompanied by a violent shockwave swept through everything in the surroundings.
Max's heart was filled with panic.
'An explosion, could it be a terrorist attack?'
However, before Max could come to a conclusion, a series of feral roars could be heard along with the explosion.
Max was very surprised.
He could actually understand those beast-like roars!
"Damn you, Adams! You damn b*stard, Mother Tiamat will not forgive you!"
Max listened carefully.
To his surprise, other than the sound of the voice, he also heard a series of hissing sounds. This was exactly the same feeling he had when he took a plane back in the past.
'Am I in the sky?'
Max thought to himself.
Clearly, two names were mentioned by the voice earlier.
Adams and Mother Tiamat.
Max did not know who Adams was, but he vaguely recalled that Tiamat was the mother of the vile Chromatic Dragons of legend.
'Why would someone mention her name? Not only that, she was even addressed as the mother goddess. Could the speaker be one of the legendary Chromatic Dragons?'
Max felt that it was ridiculous, but he still chose to believe the speaker's words.
After all, he was located in a strange place, and he could not see a single thing.
This made him think of another possibility, the possibility of 'rebirth'.
Max was an avid reader of webnovels, and their creativity had always fascinated him.
At present, the concept of transmigration and rebirth was especially popular.
Faced with these unknown circumstances, Max felt that he was most likely reborn.
As for what he was reborn as, Max had some guesses in his mind.
However, in that moment, he felt it necessary to listen to the conversations of the individuals outside. He would most likely gain some valuable information from them.
Max continued to listen.
Not long after, several bursts of explosions, that felt stronger than the explosion of missiles were unleashed.
This made Max wonder whether he was caught in a warzone.
Another loud roar like that of a ferocious beast rang out.
"Agatha, just obey me."
"? ? ?"
The tone was extremely vulgar, and Max frowned when he heard it.
"This..."
"Could the other party be seeking for her hand in marriage?"
'Are all courtship between dragons so wild?'
'Firing shots akin to cannonballs at the slightest disagreement?'
At this moment, the voice sounded again.
"Agatha, as long as you give me the egg in your hand, I will spare you. Otherwise, you will enter an eternal slumber today!"
"Adams, you vile and cunning Black Dragon! As a fellow Chromatic Dragon, you are also under the protection of the Mother Goddess Tiamat! How dare you come and snatch my child!"
"Your actions are not worthy of being a Chromatic Dragon. The Chromatic Dragon Mother will definitely punish you!"
"What a load of nonsense. Are you going to hand it over or should I send you to your demise?"
"Humph, if you won't hand it over willingly, I'll grab it by force. I believe that those from the Human Alliance would want nothing more than to receive your corpse, especially those Dragon Slayers. I bet they'll love it."
"By selling your corpse and egg to the Human Alliance, I'll definitely earn a fortune!"
"What?! You dare team up with the Dragon Slayers?"
"Damn it! You have no right to be a part of the Chromatic Dragons!!"
Agatha was extremely anxious at this moment. She hugged the dragon egg in her arms tightly and flew even faster.
If it was not for the fact that Red Dragons were adept at aerial maneuvers, the damned black dragon would definitely have already caught up to her!
She was a 3000-year-old pure-blooded Red Dragon. Moreover, she was an Ancient Red Dragon that had successfully transitioned during her prime. Her lifespan was at least 10,000 years long!
She was an extremely rare existence in the entire dragon race. After all, most dragons were only able to transition into Ancient Dragon when they were in the late stages of their life!
However, Agatha had successfully transitioned into an Ancient Dragon during her prime. This immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Dragons were already at the top of the biological chain, and it was extremely difficult for them to reproduce. However, as a 3000-year-old dragon, Agatha had miraculously transitioned into an Ancient Dragon.
Once the dragon eggs she gave birth to hatched, there was a 50% chance that they would be born as Ancient Dragons!
However, something unexpected happened.
The extremely old Black Dragon, Adams, had set his sights on the first dragon egg that she had hatched after transitioning into an Ancient Dragon!
