Betrayal is a wound that every man has felt, I wrote this story to show how it can make a man strong. "What is the difference between a hero, a villain and a coward? A hero uses his sword to protect people A villain uses people to protect his sword Both are better than a coward A coward has no sword, and uses empty words to protect his life A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward. In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies." -The Dark Prince In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts".

Stories... They are one of the major essences of life -- abundant everywhere, yet barely noticed. Don't believe it? Think... That colleague of yours that recently got fired, do you think of them often? Regardless, their life is a story. The old man you saw while walking down the street, how is he now? You probably don't know, but he has his own story. That acquaintance you've always known to be an orphan? They definitely have a story. Finally, that web novel author whose writing you mocked? They must have quite a few, including their own (you might just be part of one). The difference is that the ones deemed uninteresting and clichéd are not seen, heard or read by outsiders. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This specific story is about a man who thought his life was decent - maybe even better than that with his recent achievements. And it truly might've been if the poor soul went unnoticed by the cruel hands of fate. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Try and read this newbie author's attempt of granting this man a story that would be considered his... and only his.

Do I seek to destroy the heavens or to break free from the chains of fate that bind me? I used to think I could, but now I wonder if I even have the strength to try. How many times have I fought against this suffocating reality, only to find myself exhausted by the struggle? The very idea of rebellion has become wearisome, and I yearn for an end—an end to this torment, to myself, to this cruel and sinister world. I’ve done what I had to do to survive. Yet, when I look back, the world casts me as the villain, branding me evil for merely existing in a landscape designed for my demise. But is it wrong to fight for my life? To claw my way through the shadows? I feel the urge to give up, to surrender to the darkness that whispers sweetly in my ear, but a flicker of something within me refuses to fade. What would it mean to let go? To relinquish this relentless struggle? Curiosity gnaws at me—what awaits at the end of my journey? Could it be peace, or will I find only more despair? I stand at the precipice, teetering between the desire for annihilation and the faintest glimmer of hope, wondering which path will finally lead me home.

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace. Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing. However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor. Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others. Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels. ----- Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing. It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed. The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble. Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices. Sometimes, reality can be dark. It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story. This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story. Trying to develop my writing style on this. First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story. Cover is AI generated (Except for the title)
