IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story has a purpose, and every detail has an explanation, i.e. nothing is explained with 'it works cause it works'. The more questions you ask when reading this story, the more you will understand later on. If you just turn off your brain to read you won't know why things are happening the way they are.

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 Wednesday at 1:30 PM EST!

With the intention of finishing what he started, he did not hesitate to come after the said survivor only to encounter something very unexpected, that curiously made him feel unknown emotions, pushing him to do crazy things that never crossed his mind before... to the point that he didn't mind offering her his life, if it meant he can make her his.

Humans were relegated to slavery, forced to construct grand castles and labor on farmlands for their dragon overlords. The dragons had conquered every kingdom on earth except for one that thrived despite their oppressive reign - Eldoria.

He yearns to fight for his family, help them in any way possible even if that means going against a filthy noble that is 100's times weaker than him. He must protect the ones he cares about and the loved ones he has. This is my first Novel so expect me to be bad at this and forget to create another chapter. -_- i forget things easily so please don't be harsh on me.
