IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story has a purpose, nothing is random. If something feels 'forced' it's meant to be, ask why and I guarantee you will enjoy the novel more. ------------------- Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself. Even if.. that was never the case... - There is mild gore, and profanity is 'censored' toward the beginning, but not later in the story. - Tags: Action, Discovery, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi Sub Tags: Reincarnation, Magic, Non-Human Lead, (Extremely) OP Protagonist, Mystery - New Chapter twice a week, on Monday and Friday at 1:30 PM EST!

I hunted beasts that were deemed immortal, ripping off their immortal status. I loathed them for they destroyed my home. My anger for them, in one word, immeasurable. Yet look at me, what have I become… I did not need a mirror to realize that I had turned into a werewolf, with the curse of immortality. I tried, again and again, to kill myself, yet it was futile. But hey, wait, I am a beast now. Can’t I crawl in and kill other beasts in this disguise? Haha, foolish Vampire God, this curse is a curse to your entire race, for now, I will obliterate everyone! ..... This is a Book about Gray Waterfell. After living as a human and climbing through pain to Hunt down the Vampire God, he was forced into reincarnation by their earth shattering battle. Naturally, he swore to get his revenge by killing every supernatural creature in the world. But Fate was wicked to him, his new family he was born into was a supernatural family, a Werewolf family. A family that loved him more than the human race he fought for ever did. After Human invasion and massacre took treasure he never had in his previous life, his blade now stare in the confusion of his Vengeance. Supernaturals must be killed, but the pain of losing one's love, must be AVENGED... Author's Note: I noticed that no one really captures the true state of confusion and a sense of loss that comes with getting reborn. For most, the protagonist is just flushed into battle. But this Mc is different, the first 80 chapters allows you to understand why he was forced unto his predicament and the reason for the goals and ambitions he develops. I'll be fair, it's a painful read, but bear through it. Rise to the top is incredible, and once its starts, only blood flows till the end....

Can’t be a Luna? I snapped my head to Alpha Sebastian and he didn’t even look at me. Suitable options? Decision?

Her mother shielded her from the Dragon King's wrath. At the same time, her father offered his life for her when she unintentionally used her superpower during the dragon kingdom's yearly tournament. The Dragon King kept her mother in Dracousia Kingdom's tower as bait for Winona. Kaiden Drakonar is the Crown Prince of the Dracousia Kingdom, he is the most powerful dragon ever born that surpassed the power of his forefathers, but his father will only turn over his crown to his son if he captures the Dragon Witch. She is the menace to their kingdom because she is the real heir of the dragon world, and she possessed the superpower of the four elements because of her dragon and witch blood that runs on her veins. ”Son, you need to deliver to me the heart of the Dragon Witch, and that is the only way I can proclaim you as the new king of the Dragon Realm.” He set on a journey to find the Dragon Witch, and he disguised himself as an ordinary human hunter who passed by on the forest of Dasos, where he meets a beautiful young maiden, Winona, under the name of Ana, and he fell in love with her. Winona didn’t know she was in love with the person hunting for her heart, while Kaiden didn’t realize she fell in love with the Dragon Witch.

But entering this tournament is more complicated than she thought. What will happen to their love story once she finds out that Kaiden is the Crown Prince of the Dragon World? Can she forgive him for aiming for her actual beating heart as an offering to the Dragon King who killed her father? Can Kaiden kill Winona once he learns she is the Dragon Witch and offers her heart to his father, or is he willing to betray his father and fight beside Winona? As the battle between the two kingdoms intensified, which side will Winona choose? Will she use her superpower to side with the mages who abandoned her witch mother, or is she going to choose the kingdom of his father and reign as the new Queen and forget that once upon a time, she fell in love?
