Dungeon And Dragons Lore

In a world in a distant universe similar to ours, dragons were the supreme rulers for millions of years. But one day, a supernova struck their planet, making it uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years and killing almost all life on its surface. When the catastrophe ended, the decimated dragons struggled to recover, while other races rose up and became the new rulers, hunting the surviving dragons and forcing them to retreat away from civilization. The dragons fell back into bestiality and violence, regressing further and further until they were little more than animals. Now, dragons are a species on the verge of extinction, and nothing would seem able to change their fate... or maybe not? Haku, one of the youngest member of a dying species that struggle to survive, refuses this. He decides it's not right to surrender to the rules of that difficult and terrible world into which he had the misfortune to be born, and he doesn't want his brothers and sisters to do it either. He believes that there must be something else, some other way to live without fear. So, let's follow the journey of Haku and his siblings, a journey that will take them across the world and beyond, against a fate that none of them is willing to accept.

“Come not between the Dragon and his Wrath.” — William Shakespeare The year was 2140, and Earth was nothing but a distant memory. Humanity now drifted through the galaxies aboard colossal ARKs, massive skyships that served as the last bastions of civilization. Yet, these ARKs were more than just floating cities; they were humanity’s last containers, preserving what remained of their species. A century before Earth's final collapse, humanity discovered a gateway to a realm known as Eternia — a fantastical world straight out of myth and legend. Reaching this realm required more than just advanced technology; it demanded a complete departure from the physical body and entry into a mysterious process known as the Dream Weave. In the present day, Cloud lived aboard ARK NO. 427, where he had been training from a young age to step into the Dream Weave. He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.

Kaito had been an average young man, barely scraping by, until the once in a lifetime chance of awakening a mysterious "TWO IN ONE CLASSIFIED SYSTEM" was given to him, which would change his life. However, before he could even understand its power, he got transmigrated into a ruthless new world. Born to an illegitimate third son with no authority and spiritual power, Kaito went from having a bright future ahead to becoming a ‘TRASH TALENT.’ Still, even with this system he has nothing yet any power; he is a joke in the kingdom where everyone values might and magic. Things are made worse by the fact that the only way he can get back to earth is to perform incredible missions assigned to him by an unknown system. But how will he achieve that when his enemies continue to amass power and he has no capability to keep up? He will have to struggle up from the lower class not simply to survive, but to reclaim his position. He will summon dragons and Beast to ride, enemies to defeat and Kingdoms to conquer, he shall either ascend to the highest levels of power or be buried by the system that was created to guide him. Is it possible for Kaito to usurp the ‘trash’ social status that was positioned to him? Can an outcast who is rejected by society be more brilliant than the wonders of this new era? Or will this man’s dreams be thwarted even before they get off the ground? See how Kaito manages to avoid pitfalls in Astrynea which are dangerous enough that one slip will lead to the downfall.

I died. That's obvious. But I was reborn. How? Don't ask me. Maybe it was some god. A divine being? Ah- It doesn't matter. My life burned away and now- well I'm stuck here in this black void. This dungeon. Maybe I had lived a pious last life. Laughable as that was. But I was given a second chance. Told to grow my dungeon, to create hulking monstrosities that would destroy the world. In short, I am now a villain. I am the consciousness of the dungeon, the little orb at the end my body. And still I live. A projection of a body is created - a trap - and I am that. I am the one to guide foolish adventurers to their death. My looks are curated. Soft features that entrap the mind. I am the dungeon. I am the projection, I am human, and I am the dungeon. And I will conquer all. Every being will bow before my might. "Before you're cuteness~" Ah- heh- that too... help... I didn't ask to look this cute!

The world of wyverns has always had a very strict social pyramid, and for centuries Alex Conrad's family has been at the top in England. They even founded a school so they could keep their children away from humans and wyverns deemed to be less worthy. But ever since Alex was a kid, the pyramid has been slowly crumbling, and now for the first time, their doors will be open to wyverns from all social backgrounds. Plenty of upper-class families are less than thrilled with the Conrads' decision, and almost all of the new students harbour hostility toward the ones who have looked down on them for so long. Especially Alex's new flatmate, a boy named Matthew Montoya, who is determined to prove a point by making Alex's life as miserable as he can manage. Things take a turn when the tension on campus claims a student's life and the two have to decide if they're going to let the tragedy bring them together or rip them further apart.
