Chapter 1
Sen stirred as he awakened from his sleep.The sixty-foot long beast of legends, with scales more radiant than molten rubies and great jet black wings, yawned as he stretched his body, pushing away some of the gold and jewels of his hard-won hoard. How good, he thought, his golden eyes opening and acclimating to the darkness of his cave, to rest on the wages of victory after a feast. He could spend another half a century here if he didn’t feel the urge to eat some cattle this morning.Sen slowly stretched his mighty neck until his crown of horns scraped against the stone ceiling. He surveyed his cave deep within the southern mountains of Valen, marveling at the beauty of his shining conquests. A bed of rubies, diamonds and gold coins, looted from beastkins, mermaids, the retinue of an elven princess, and the corpses of armored humans foolish enough to challenge him. A good hoard, but a small one; one he promised himself to double in size before going back to hibernation.Maybe he shou

Kyle had no idea what he had gotten himself into.For the first time in his life, he flew outside the confines of a plane. Namely, the dragon carried him in palm—because his back was too good for Kyle—as he flew north of the mountain, towards the Valbin village where he took that damn request. Kyle hated the experience; not only did he take the icy wind head on in the face, the dragon held him tight and could crush him any moment.Kyle had had a terrible luck streak lately, and no amount of Luck stat increase changed it. Dying on Earth to end up in this fantasy world, falling in with brigands to make ends’ meets, barely avoiding death half a dozen times, and then getting caught by a giant dragon on his very first adventurer quest.This world sucked!“Your Majesty!” Kyle shouted, as the duo left the snowy mountain for the grasslands, the sight of the village coming to life under the morning sun. “I should go alone! The guard will sound the alarm at your coming!”The dragon would have n

"Declared dead!"Lilian couldn't help but wince as the dragon glared at her. “A-a group of Barinian adventurers brought back a red dragon skull twenty years ago after Barsino’s march through the mountains, declaring it belonged to Sen… and since no red dragon showed up for years afterward…”“This, this is an indignity!” The news had infuriated the beast almost as much as Kyle's attempted robbery, smoke steaming from his nostrils. “Minion, order human Lilian to inform your primitive, credulous species that I, Sen Krendrath, am not dead!”“I am sure the news will travel fast after Your Majesty’s mighty show of force,” Kyle deadpanned, the dragon thankfully too incensed to notice the sarcasm.“They better do!” Sen calmed himself, his eyes fixed on the board. “What kind of requests does this human get?”“Lilian, can you read a few quests for His Majesty’s benefit?”A bit more confident due to being in her element, Lilian grabbed a paper sheet and read it out loud. “A clan of trolls callin

They gave him a lead plate tag with his name on it. Him. Like he was some mammal.“This is degrading!” Sen complained to his loyal lackey Kyle, as they flew above the farmlands of Blenheim. The news had put him in a foul mood. “Lead? Lead!”“Every adventurer starts with a lead plate,” Kyle explained, the wind in his face causing his lips to move in ways Sen found distracting. “That’s the ranks. Lead, copper, iron, bronze, silver, gold, and starmetal. I’m a lead adventurer too, Your Majesty.”“But you are a human!” Also, why the adventurer guild put that greenish unshiny starmetal higher than brilliant gold, Sen would never understand. “I am a dragon. Can you humans fly? Can you breathe fire that melts stone? Can you live forever? No, so why is that not enough for gold?”“You are a unique case, Your Majesty,” minion Kyle tried to assuage his wounded pride. “Forgive my poor species, who does not know how to deal with you.”“Just this once!” Sen said, flying over a vast forest, smelling

Of course, the humans would copy this honorable dragon institution. They learned from the best. “I did not get a Ability this time, which I find confounding.”“It’s only one per two levels, Your Majesty.”“Who decides that?”“The gods, I think. Or maybe the Fomors.”“These good for nothing upstarts? They always claim they made the world when everyone knows dragons did it first. Tell me where I can find and reprimand them.”Kyle gave him a strange, incredulous look. “Reprimand the… I don’t know Your Majesty, I’m not a religious guy. Maybe we could ask a bishop.”“We will after you climb down and recover what is mine.”“After I what?”“According to this Old Money Ability , the trolls below should drop treasures when they die. You do not expect me to get down and sully myself with ashes?”Kyle glanced down at the fiery crater below them, then back at his master. “Your Majesty, I am not immune to fire.”Not immune to—ah yes, he had forgotten. By the elder wyrm, how could the humans avoid

When the marquise had invited Kyle to a private breakfast in her apartments, Kyle had expected everything but an actual breakfast. Maybe a poisoned meal, or being made into the breakfast, or maybe fed to a lion. Not an actual, pleasant breakfast with the lady of the house and the Count of Valmere.Of course, she had four knights ready to chop his head off at any moment, alongside a few catkin butlers, but he was thankful for the meal all the same. It had been a while since he last ate beef and cooked vegetables with a fork.Thankfully, he didn’t taste any poison in the meal. He guessed yesterday’s fiasco taught them a lesson.“This is humiliating,” the marquise said, lounging in a mink chair while petting a winged lion in one hand and sipping a glass of wine with the other. Kyle guessed she had taken more than a few drinks. “A red dragon empties our pantry and then decides to take a nap at my front door. Why did the gods send this calamity? Is he still there?”“Yes, my lady,” an armor

The marquise and the count exchanged worried glances. After all, like most aristocrats, they probably had levels in that class too. “A red dragon should not have access to a Rogue Class,” the marquise stated. “How did this happen?”Kyle wisely decided not to mention his own responsibility. “No idea. He was already like that when I found him. Now he’s set on becoming an adventurer because it pays well, and it’s easy for him. Look at the forest.”“The monsters of Gevaudan plagued the regions for ages, especially with the chaos of the Century War,” one of the knights said. “To destroy the entire area in minutes…”Francesca Blenheim nodded. “While the loss of my pantry is devastating, the economic gains do outweigh it. We might as well make use of the dragon’s current fancy. If he wants to be an adventurer, we could send him on a fool’s errand.”“My lady, you cannot be serious!” the count protested. “A dragon adventurer? What else, a troll prince?”“The creature is toying with us,” a guar

“Are we there yet?” Sen asked for the hundredth time, as they flew over yet another stinking human village.“Nope, sorry,” manling Kyle replied, his eyes set on the map he struggled to keep pace with the wind. “Ogron was last seen near Haudemer, and this is Pointin.”“How do you know?” Sen lambasted his minion guide. They had flown all the way across the land, almost reaching the western sea; yet missed the target. “All of your dirty villages look the same!”“Oh, Your Majesty, I believe the next one will be the right one.”“And how so?”“Because of the fires, Your Majesty.”Indeed, a column of fire rose from the west, on the coast. Sen squinted, noticing a small city under assault by a large group of manlings.Sen approached the city and circled it from above to take a good view of it and the nearby beaches. It was larger than the villages they had visited, with stone houses and a wooden extension leading into the sea itself; a port welcomed a dozen floating buildings the manlings cal

“A lava…” the female frowned. “No, Your Majesty, no, we do not have a lava bath.”No lava bath as a basic accommodation? They truly were backward peasants. “I will sleep on your hot sand, but my minion probably does not have my quality standards.”The female made a strange face, while the minion concurred, “Certainly not, Your Majesty. I will be sure to enjoy a good, warm bed.”Sen brushed the matter off, focusing on that Class Scholar, who began to speak up. “Great Sen, your friend Kyle told me your majesty needed advice on the class system—”“Majesty, with a capital M,” Sen corrected him. “Also, what is a friend? Some kind of minion?”Henry blinked. “How can you… does Your Majesty have the [Super Senses] perk?”Sen checked his menu, noticing it among his ‘personal perks.’ “Ah, yes, I do. How do you know?”“It’s a Perk common among highly perceptive species, such as beastkins.”“Henry is our city’s class expert, advising us on how to develop our career, stats, and perks,” Lynette tol

Kyle let out a moan of pleasure, as he sank in the warm, hot bath. So good!Lynette’s inn was a top-notch establishment, a stone mansion renovated into a resort for adventurers and merchants; he had his own room with a king-sized bed and full access to a private bath in the back.Kyle had left his clothes and weapons nearby, just in case. He had had a nasty experience with a naked ambush in the past, and it didn’t hurt to be paranoid.Kyle glanced at the copper plate around his neck. Following Ogron’s ‘last meal,’ the adventurer guild had upgraded him and Sen to copper-rank adventurers. Of course, from what he had gathered, the guild itself still had no idea how to handle the dragon and simply decided to follow due process until King Gardemagne or the Shining Crusade ‘settled’ the matter.Kyle had no idea what to make of the dead cyclops’ axe however. It didn’t have any magical powers, and it was too heavy for anything but a giant to use. He figured he would let Sen toy with it, then
