My Dragon System
Everyone awakened a powerful System. Caleb Turner got the weakest one. Until the dragon inside him awakened.
At Ridgemont Academy, power is everything. Flame Lords command fire, Shadow users control darkness, and the strongest students compete for glory in the legendary Crown Games.
Caleb Turner has nothing.
Rank F. Level 1. No skills. No future.
For an entire year, he has been the weakest student in the academy, mocked by his classmates and overlooked by everyone who matters. With college slipping beyond his reach and his father missing for five years, Caleb has almost given up on ever becoming someone worth remembering.
Then his father's mysterious pendant begins to glow.
His useless Basic Student System shatters, replaced by something ancient, powerful, and terrifying.
The Dragon Sovereign System.
Suddenly, Caleb can grow stronger through quests, unlock dragon abilities, and awaken a bloodline that ordinary Systems cannot measure. But there's a catch: everyone still sees him as a pathetic Rank F.
And he intends to keep it that way.
As the Crown Games begin, Caleb must outsmart stronger opponents, conceal his growing power, and survive the attention of people who are beginning to suspect that something is terribly wrong with his System.
But his father's disappearance is no ordinary mystery. Hidden messages lead Caleb toward a secret vault, mysterious Ember Stones, and a powerful Council that may be hunting his family.
His enemies think he's a nobody.
They're about to learn what happens when a dragon is forced to hide its claws.

Chapter: CHAPTER 009That night, Caleb could not sleep.He lay in bed staring at the ceiling, turning the little brass disc over and over in his fingers. His father's face still hung in his mind, the weary eyes, the sad half smile. Find the Council vault. Find the third Ember Stone. And whatever you do, never trust.Never trust who?[Hatchling Progress: 74 percent. You should rest.]"I cannot rest. My father left me a message."[Your father left you a mystery. Mysteries are best solved with sleep.]"Who made you?"[I am the Dragon Sovereign System. I was made long before your world had names for such things.]"That is not an answer."[It is the only answer I can give. Insufficient Dragon Heart.]Caleb sighed and rolled over. Then, with a sudden jolt, he sat bolt upright. The brass disc was glowing.It pulsed in his hand, bright red and gold, like a tiny heartbeat. A thin beam of light shot from its surface and pointed through the window, aimed at the dark shape of the Ridgemont campus on the hill.[Quest

Chapter: CHAPTER 008The fourth day of the Crown Games belonged to the duels.It was the oldest tradition at Ridgemont, an event that dated back to the school's founding. Each House sent its three best fighters into the arena, and a bracket decided who advanced. The arena itself was a circular pit of packed earth ringed with steel barriers, surrounded by stands holding two thousand screaming students.Ashford went into the day in second place overall, one point behind Sterling and three ahead of Blackwood. A strong showing in the duels could push them into first."Here's the situation," Coach Whitaker said, pacing in front of the huddle. "Our three duelists are Sophie, Jason, and Rachel. Turner, you are the alternate. If anyone is injured, you take their place.""Great," Caleb said weakly. "Nothing makes me happier than hoping for my teammates to get hurt.""I did not say hoping. I said being ready." "Right. Ready."The first round began at noon. Sophie Grant faced a boy from Hawthorne, and her shield s

Chapter: CHAPTER 007The third event was the Labyrinth, and nobody liked it.It was not a physical event. It was a puzzle event, held in a giant glass maze behind the science building. Each House sent three competitors in at once, and each team had to solve a series of riddles, locks, and pattern puzzles to reach the center. The first team to claim the golden key won."It's a brain event," Marcus said happily on Thursday morning. "This is my moment. This is my entire purpose in life.""I thought your purpose was snacks." "Snacks and puzzles. Equal status."Coach Whitaker announced the Ashford lineup. Marcus Reed, finally promoted from alternate, would lead the team with Rachel Kim and Caleb Turner as support. Marcus nearly fainted with joy."Coach," Sophie said carefully. "Turner again?""The kid has instincts. And his Intellect score is the highest on the team." Coach Whitaker shrugged. "Besides, I do not care what the rankings say. I care who gets things done."Caleb accepted the compliment with a quie

Chapter: CHAPTER 006The summons arrived on Wednesday morning, printed on thick cream paper and delivered by a hall monitor who looked sorry about it.Caleb Turner. Principal's office. Immediately."This is it," Marcus whispered at his locker. "They know. Somebody told them. Brandon told them. We're going to jail.""We are not going to jail." "You don't know that.""I'm fairly sure it's a school, Marcus." "Schools have jails. They call them detention."Caleb walked to the main building alone, his stomach twisting. The Dragon Sovereign System hummed quietly in the back of his mind.[Remain calm. Say little. Reveal nothing.]"That's your whole strategy?"[It has worked for dragons for ten thousand years.]Principal Pierce's office sat at the top of the administration tower, a wide round room with tall windows and shelves full of old trophies. A mahogany desk sat in the center, and behind it, the principal sat with her hands folded. Beside her stood a man Caleb had never seen before.He was tall and thin,

Chapter: CHAPTER 005The second event was called Capture the Banner, and it was held in the woods.Ridgemont's property stretched across a thousand acres of Colorado pine forest, and every September the groundskeepers marked out a game zone with colored ribbons and hidden checkpoints. Each House had a flag hidden at its base camp. The goal was simple: protect your own flag and steal everyone else's."Rules are straightforward," Coach Whitaker said, pacing in front of the Ashford team that Tuesday morning. "Tagging an opponent eliminates them. No lethal force. Referees are stationed throughout the woods. If a ref calls you out, you leave. Questions?""What about sugar in water bottles?" Sophie asked."The staff have put cameras on every water bottle. And on every Sterling student's shoes. And I believe one on Brandon Cole's hat."A few students laughed. Coach Whitaker did not smile."Strategy," he said. "Sophie, you'll lead the defense with Rachel and Danny. Jason, you'll scout. Turner..."Caleb's head j

Chapter: CHAPTER 004The Crown Games began with a parade, a speech, and a very serious amount of glitter.Ridgemont's front lawn had been transformed into a stadium overnight. Four great banners hung from steel poles, each one bearing the crest of a House: the Ashford Stag in green, the Sterling Lion in gold, the Blackwood Raven in black, and the Hawthorne Fox in orange. Hundreds of students crowded the stands, painted in their House colors, waving flags and shouting rivalries that had been brewing for decades.Caleb stood in the Ashford line wearing a green jersey two sizes too big. Marcus was beside him in the alternates' row, holding a clipboard he had no reason to hold."Official duty," Marcus whispered. "I'm the team strategist." "Since when?""Since right now."On the main stage, Principal Pierce stepped up to the microphone. She was dressed in a navy suit, her silver hair pinned back, her voice as calm as a river."Students of Ridgemont. For one hundred and twelve years, this school has held the C
