Astral Dragon

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

I got pulled into the game that I’d dominated for five whole seasons, holding the number one leaderboard spot without a break since launch. How many people could say they’d pulled off a feat like that? A Free-to-Play player ruling a Pay-to-Win game? Probably just me. Eventually, it all got stale, and I decided to quit. But one night, while I was sleeping, I suddenly found myself inside the game, Astral Point, where the Administrator asked me to beat the game for real—not just from behind a computer screen. So, I agreed to the request, thinking it was all just a vivid dream. But as it turned out, none of it was a dream. I’m actually here, in the world of Astral Point, facing off against players from other dimensions who call themselves the Pay-to-Win (newbies).

When your sister is stolen by a dark organization that worships the Goddess of Death, a shadowy group branded as a universal threat by every empire? What happens when you, too, are cursed-marked by a legendary vampire-forced to wield a sinister, unknown magic that threatens to transform you into one of them?

In a world where the boundaries between the mortal realm and the astral plane are held together by a fragile, shimmering veil, chaos begins to seep through. When the veil mysteriously fractures, ancient forces that were once banished to the astral plane start to awaken, threatening to engulf the world in eternal darkness. Eira, an orphaned cartographer with a secret connection to the stars, stumbles upon an ancient map that marks the location of a lost artifact—the Astralis Key. This artifact, according to legend, has the power to mend the veil and restore balance to the realms. However, retrieving it will not be easy. With the help of Kael, a rogue astral mage with a shadowed past, and Selene, a warrior cursed by the very forces they seek to fight, Eira embarks on a perilous journey across enchanted lands, forgotten ruins, and treacherous astral storms. Along the way, she discovers that her connection to the stars may hold the answers to questions she never dared to ask about her past—and the power to reshape the future. But the veil is not merely a barrier; it is alive, and it is watching. As the group races against time, they must confront not only external threats but also the darkness within themselves. Will Eira and her companions unlock the mysteries of the Astral Veil, or will the realms collapse into chaos forever? The Astral Veil is a tale of courage, destiny, and the thin line between light and shadow.

"The heavenly dog ​​rises from the earth and falls into the sunset. The sky is as red as blood, and the lucky star retreats into nothingness. In the vastness, a man stumbles forward, paving the way with difficulty, and blood is spilled with every step. Only a stalk of chrysanthemum withers behind him." This is a prophecy that no one can interpret, but some people say that this is my fate. Others say that the ritual officials are involved in yin and yang, are good at tombs, and cover up the secrets of heaven. The nobles of ancient times were all buried in their hands to protect future generations. In the end, they did not die well, and I could not escape it. But I don't accept it...

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.

a calamity once shook the earth and made it seem like extinction of all was certain however amidst the ashes of destruction the earth sudden awakened a latent power which seeped out from its core, transforming the earth and it's inhabitants and granting humans miraculous powers called ABILITIES which were powered by the energy which humans had evolved to harness. plants and animals on the other hand continuously evolved into terrifying beasts with slight semblance to their weaker predecessors. Now, over 3000 years later a mysterious young boy surrounded by strange circumstances,a past shrouded in mystery , and an unusual aura surrounding him finds himself with a mysterious system and in the prestigious sentinel military academy now with a new unknown ally in the form of the system Zen is on a mission for so much more than he knows. will he succeed? especially with literal and figurative ghosts from his past coming back to haunt them and pieces of their mysterious past coming to haunt him? ( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

In short, I have been reborn into a world where the natural elements are both beautiful and deadly at the same time, with ferocious storms and scorching heat waves that can wipe out entire communities. Well this is an unforgiving, unforgiving world where the common cold can kill you, a world where survival applies only to the strong in this world.

Takeshi glancing at the boys, determined "Stay close to me. I won’t let them take you." He tightens his grip on his weapon, every muscle in his body tensed and ready for the battle.

Meanwhile, Azdal watches the battle with a cold, calculating gaze. His eyes flicker between Takeshi and the boys, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
