The Dung Beetle’s Dragon Dynasty
In a world where beast tamers summon majestic creatures to fight for glory—wyverns, manticores, phoenixes—status is everything. Korrin Slate is the ultimate laughingstock: his summoning ritual, funded by his family’s last scraps, calls forth a dung beetle.
Not a mighty scarab, not a mystical insect lord—just a tiny, smelly bug that rolls poop. Bullied, shunned, and dubbed “Shit-Roller,” Korrin’s life hits rock bottom.
But when his beetle accidentally eats a dragon scale dropped by a passing tamer’s wyrm, something insane happens: it evolves into a Dung Dragon—a grotesque, armored beast with wings of filth and a breath that melts steel.
Turns out, Korrin’s beetle isn’t a failure—it’s a Primordial Recycler, a forgotten lineage that turns trash into titans, and every scrap it consumes births a new dragon.
