Dragonblood Ascension
In a kingdom where dragons were exterminated a hundred years ago, magic is controlled by the noble Mage Houses, and knights are treated as expendable soldiers.
The male lead, Leon Valcrest, is a seventeen-year-old orphan serving as the weakest knight apprentice in the Royal knight Academy. He has no mana, no family crest, and no future.
Despised by nobles and mocked by fellow trainees, he survives by doing dirty work for the Royal Knight Order while dreaming of becoming a Royal Knight.
During a catastrophic attack on the capital by abyssal creatures, Leon is betrayed and left to die beneath the ruins of an underground basement. There, he discovers a chained black dragon buried beneath the earth.
As he lies dying, he accidentally awakens the sealed bloodline of the legendary Dragon God.
A crimson dragon spirit enters his body, granting him overwhelming strength, dragon fire, and the ability to command dragons.
Now hunted by the Mage Houses and pursued by demons from the Abyss, Leon must uncover why the dragons disappeared and why the world fears their return.
But the deeper he digs, the darker the truth becomes:
The royal family itself was built on dragon genocide.
And Leon may be the last heir to the throne they stole.

Chapter: "What am I?"Two minutes into the fight, Leon could already sense that the undead were being controlled by some sort of sorcery. He had imagined where they were coming from and how they keep increasing in number. He knows that the undead had been exterminated a long time ago and it didn’t make any sense that they are suddenly back.He stopped fighting and lowered his sword. At the same time, an undead lunged toward him and without thinking, he drove his fist through its chest with enough force to shatter it to bones.The undead all stopped, as if surprised. Even Leon froze. He couldn’t believe he had such strength.The undead became violent and they all came at him at once. Leon simply raised his hand and crimson fire exploded from his palm.BOOM!The creatures disintegrated at once and not one was spared.“That’s what I am talking about,” Valtherion laughed excitedly in his head.Leon stared at the flames surrounding his hand and he was left speechless. His entire body pulsed with overwhelming en

Chapter: Dragonblood awakeningPain spread through Leon’s entire body as consciousness slowly returned to him. For several minutes, he couldn’t move or turn his body. Dust filled his lungs and when he coughed out, it only added to the pain he already had. His legs were stuck beneath the rubble and his ribs burned every time he breathed.Warm blood trickled down the side of his face and he winced in pain. Everything hurts. Still, he forced himself to stay calm. Stressing over it would only make him waste more energy. He couldn’t be more than glad that at least, the undead were gone.The air felt strange around him and he forced his eyes to look around the place, but all he could see was darkness. He wondered how long he would stay trapped under the place before help would come. His thoughts soon shifted to Cedric and his captain. He couldn’t believe they could be that heartless. Even despite the chaos surrounding them, all they could think about was killing him off because he was worthless. He soon started to wond

Chapter: Betrayed to dieBy midnight, things already took a bad shape. Another order was given:“Every trainee must fight alongside other soldiers regardless of your level of mana.”Leon fought beside other trainees and ordinary soldiers, and before he knew it, exhaustion consumed his body. Still, he knew he needed to keep going.Everywhere he looked, people were dying. They were either getting killed or taking their own lives because of fear of the new monster that now terrorized them.It was not just the undead now. Another new creature had already entered the capital, one that is most feared—an abyss creature.Never in Leon’s life did he imagine that such damnation would befall him in one night. Being just a trainee, he knows that he stands no chance, yet, he couldn’t give up, seeing how the Royal Knights fought desperately just to protect them.He hoped that the child he was trying to rescue earlier was safe. The female knight had told him she would look after him and send him and his mother to safety onc

Chapter: Undead creaturesThe capital walls had protected Athens for centuries, reinforced with magic powerful enough to stop monsters and enemies. It was performed by the mages themselves. But, if the walls had fallen, then it means something catastrophic was happening.Fear gripped everyone instantly and just then, another explosion shook the academy walls hard enough to rattle the windows.“Every trainee capable of combat will assist with evacuation immediately! Put on your gears and grab your weapons,” the female knight shouted. “Move now!”Within seconds, instructors were already guiding students to the storage room, but they are only trainees whose evaluation had impressed them, and that includes Cedric and Tristan.Leon didn’t hesitate. He didn’t need an evaluation or a gear. All he needed was a real sword to protect his friends and make sure they all get to safety.“What do you think you are doing?!” an instructor barked angrily at him when he walked into the storage room and grabbed a sword. “Do you w

Chapter: “I wish the world can just end today.”That night, Leon was with Roan and Taylor in their usual hideout when Heidi soon joined them. Out of the three, she looks the most pale and one would think she is sick. Sometimes, Leon would think she was dying and was trying to keep it away from them. But then, even if that was true, what can they possibly do? It’s not like they have any money for a proper treatment.“Where have you been? You didn’t join us for meals in the cafeteria,” Leon asked her the moment she sat with them.“She was busy washing the plates you used to eat,” Roan said almost immediately and Heidi pushed him off the small stool he was sitting.Even as pale and weak as she may appear, she still has strength in her than most boys.Leon was already vibrating in anger and the next second, he stood and kicked a blameless can so hard that it went crashing against the wall. He clenched his fists hard and it was evident that he was tired of it all.“How much longer do we have to be treated as trash? The noble students ha

Chapter: The measure of a knightIn the academy’s cafeteria, students crowded the halls in loud groups and most of their conversations revolved around the duel, mostly praising Cedric’s extraordinary abilities.Leon expected nothing less. The academy worshipped talent above everything else. The stronger your mana, the more respect you receive. It didn’t matter whether you are arrogant, cruel, or crooked. Power alone decides a person’s worth in the kingdom.“Look who survived!” One of the students loudly brought attention to him and everyone started laughing again.“I thought Cedric already killed him earlier.”Leon’s friends stood with him and the closest held him back from acting out. He grabbed the cheapest meal and moved toward the isolated corner near the back wall. That had been his base for years. The students didn’t think it was right for the weak ones to share a decent table. Even the meals had been separated, depending on your level of mana.He and his friends sat together at the table and the mocking didn’t
