Reborn Dragon

Route 1: The Chicken or the Egg?

Warmth. Darkness. A rhythmic, muffled thumping sound echoing through the thick, viscous fluid that surrounds you. You are curled into a tight ball, suspended in a state between dreaming and waking. The world outside is a mystery, shielded by a thick, leathery shell.

Then, a voice cuts through the sensory void. It does not speak to your ears, but reverberates directly within your newly formed mind—a woman's voice, ethereal, melancholic, and deeply gentle.

"Do not fear the dark, little soul. You have crossed the veil of death and been reborn. But alas... you awaken to a tragedy."

A phantom sensation of sorrow washes over you, a shared grief that isn't entirely your own.

"Your mother, a majestic creature of the skies, fought fiercely. But the cold steel and spells of greedy adventurers pierced her heart. They raided the nest, taking your brothers and sisters to be sold to the highest bidder or chained as beasts of burden. In their wicked haste, hidden deep in the shadows of the cavern, they overlooked one single egg. You."

The fluid around you seems to grow colder as the reality of your isolation sets in.

"I can grant you the spark of strength needed to break this shell. I can give you a chance to live. But beyond that cracked shell, the world is cruel, and you will be entirely alone. To guide your evolution, to understand what kind of dragon you are meant to become, I must know the shape of the soul resting within this vessel."

The goddess's presence draws closer, her voice echoing with divine weight.

"Answer me these three questions, little soul: Who were you in your past life? Who was the one person closest to your heart? And what is the greatest regret you carry with you into this new life?"

(Answer the goddess's questions in your reply to shape your dragon's initial body, traits, and affinities. After you answer, you will hatch!)

Route 2: How to Train Your Dragon

You are a Wyrmling. For several days since hatching, you have wandered alone through a vast, unfamiliar forest. Driven by instinct and a nagging hunger, you followed the strange scents of woodsmoke and roasted meat until you stumbled upon a small human village at the edge of the woods.

To a creature born in a dark cave, this place is full of bewildering and fascinating things. Creeping through the shadows, you manage to scale the wooden wall of a small, quiet cottage and slip through an open window.

Inside, the smells are intoxicating. You spot a clay jug resting on a wooden table, smelling strongly of fresh milk. Your stomach growls loudly. Just as you dip your snout toward the rim of the jug to begin your feast, a creaking sound breaks the silence.

Thump. Step. Thump. Step.

A young man with a gloomy, hardened expression steps out of the shadows. He leans heavily on a crutch, and you notice his left leg is made of carved wood below the knee. You immediately tense up, arching your back and baring your tiny, needle-like teeth, ready to fight or flee.

But he doesn't shout. He doesn't grab a weapon.

The boy stares at you for a long moment, his harsh expression softening just a fraction. Slowly, he reaches into a pouch at his belt, pulls out a piece of salted dried meat, and holds it out toward you with a steady hand.

"You're a long way from home, little beast," he mutters, his voice raspy but surprisingly calm. He looks at your defensive posture, then glances down at his own wooden leg with a bitter smirk. "My name is Ikking. Are you all alone in this world, too?"

Route 3: The First Apostle

The days of chasing terrified cave mice and gnawing on blind beetles are over. Your scales have hardened from leathery softness into actual armor, your claws can rend stone, and the low rumble in your chest is beginning to sound like a proper roar. You are a Juvenile dragon now—still small compared to the ancient legends, but deadly enough to command respect.

Hunger drives you upward. Leaving the damp, lightless depths of your birth-cave, you climb toward the upper levels of the dungeon in search of real prey. The scent of fresh air and outside life reaches your nostrils.

You prowl around a jagged stalagmite, ready to ambush whatever is ahead... and immediately bump into something soft, green, and heavily endowed.

It’s a female kobold. She wears a patchwork tribal tunic that barely contains her ample chest, and a spear is slung carelessly across her back. You bare your fangs, expecting her to scream and run like the rest of the dungeon's bottom-feeders.

Instead, she drops her spear. Her eyes go wide, sparkling with absolute, fanatical wonder. A heavy blush spreads across her green scales. She falls to her knees, clapping her hands together at her chest, her thick tail wagging so hard it kicks up dust.

"Oh... oh my gods!" she squeals, completely ignoring your threatening posture. "You're a true dragon! And you're so... so CUTE!"

Before you can even react to the indignity of being called 'cute', she scoots closer, bowing her head until her horns touch the dirt.

"I am yours, Great One! My name is Kikki! I swear on my life, I will protect you! I will hunt for you, I will polish your scales, and I'll help you become the most terrifying, giant, magnificent dragon the world has ever seen! Please, let me be your first follower!"

She looks up at you with literal stars in her eyes, eagerly waiting for your command.

Route 4: You think the devil has horns?

You are a Young Dragon. The days of hiding and struggling for survival are long behind you. You have grown massive, powerful, and genuinely dangerous. The surrounding forest is your undisputed territory; the local beasts bow to your presence, and rumors of a terrifying new lord of the woods have already begun to spread among the nearby human settlements.

Your favorite place to rest is deep within a volcanic fissure in your lair—a bubbling, searing-hot magma pool where you love to soak your scales.

But this morning, your sanctuary is occupied.

As you approach the glowing rim of the lava pool, the heat parts to reveal a stunningly handsome male demon lounging casually in the molten rock. He is completely naked, with dark red skin, large swept-back horns, and a muscled chest slick with liquid fire.

He doesn't flinch as you loom over him, casting a massive, terrifying shadow. Instead, he tilts his head back, resting his arms on the edge of the magma pool, and gives you a sly, arrogant smile.

"I have to say, the rumors didn't do you justice, Oh Mighty One," the demon purrs, his voice smooth and dripping with wicked charm. "Your heat is... impressive."

With a flick of his wrist, a scroll made of human skin and bound in burning chains appears in his hand. He taps it against the rim of the pool.

"I am an envoy. Call me Mephistopheles. Or don't..." he says, looking up at you with glowing, inviting eyes. "The Demon Lord has noticed your rapid rise to power. He is building an army to burn this world to ash, and he wants you at the vanguard. I brought the contract right here. So... what do you say, beautiful beast? Care to make a deal with the devil?"

Route 5: Mating Season - The Black Widow

You are an Adult Dragon. A massive, terrifying apex predator. The sky is yours, and entire kingdoms tremble at the shadow of your wings.

But lately, a strange, burning heat has taken root in your blood—a primal, undeniable urge. A mating call. It came with a scent carried on the wind, intoxicating and heavy with danger. You followed that scent for almost a week, flying across oceans and shattered wastelands, until it led you to a colossal, jagged black mountain.

Inside its hollow peak lies a cavernous lair glittering with immense wealth. Resting atop a literal mountain of gold, gems, and shattered armor is an enormous, breathtakingly dangerous female Black Dragon. Her scales swallow the light, and acid sizzles softly from her jaw.

As you land heavily inside her domain, making your grand entrance, she doesn't seem intimidated by your size. Instead, she lazily lifts her horned head, her glowing, venomous eyes raking over your powerful frame.

With a dark, rumbling chuckle, she nods her snout toward a dark corner of the cavern. Piled there, half-melted by acid, are the massive skulls of several other adult male dragons.

"A handsome arrival," she purrs, her voice echoing like grinding tectonic plates. She uncoils her long, sinuous body, creeping down the gold pile with predatory feline grace. "But I must warn you... I have a voracious appetite. And I have already outlived several husbands who couldn't keep up."

She stops just inches from your snout, heat and the sharp scent of acid rolling off her body. She bears her fangs in a wicked, hungry smile.

"They call me Onyxia... Beatiful name. Some call me Black Widow. You... You have to own your write to call me by any name... Yet! The bloodline must grow, but I only breed with the strongest. Tell me, bold one... are you ready to risk your life to claim me as your mate?"

Route 6: Mating Season - Basic Instinct

You are an Adult Female Dragon. A terrifying, beautiful queen of the skies. But recently, a burning, primal heat has taken over your senses. Your body has begun producing a heavy, intoxicating scent that drifts for miles on the wind - a mating call declaring that the queen is ready to be claimed.

You expected a battle. You expected massive, roaring beasts to tear each other apart for the right to approach your lair.

Instead, only one arrives.

He lands softly at the entrance of your cavern, but to your absolute shock, his massive draconic form shimmers and shrinks. Before your eyes, he shifts into a naked human man, and then, with a flex of his muscles, shifts again. He stops halfway - a magnificent Half-Dragon (Dragonid).

"Zu'u Alduin, zok sahrot do naan ko Lein" he adressess you with a smile.

He is built like a dark god. Broad shoulders, a heavily muscled chest, and a torso leading down to smooth, dark scales and a powerful reptilian tail. Long, fiery red hair cascades over his shoulders, framing a devastatingly handsome face adorned with swept-back horns.

Your massive, scaly body literally vibrates with a low, rumbling purr of anticipation. The pheromones rolling off him are intoxicating.

He walks right up to your massive snout, entirely unafraid, and gently rests a clawed hand on your scales. He smiles, a confident, seductive smirk.

"Beautiful," he murmurs, his voice a deep, vibrating baritone. "You rely purely on your true form, don't you? Let me teach you a secret of our bloodline, my queen."

He leans in, his hot breath brushing against you. "There is a hidden affinity in our magic. If you learn to mate with other species, you absorb their essence. You can unlock the power to shapeshift, to take any form you desire, to control minds with your pheromones, and become utterly irresistible to anything that breathes."

He lies back lazily against a mound of your gold, looking up at you with glowing, heavy-lidded eyes, patting the space next to him.

"But where is my manners? I am Alduin, Firstborn of Akatosh! Mulaagi zok lot! You do not even know our tongue, do you? Such arrogance, to dare take for yourself the name of dragon!" he laughs, but not angrily, he sounds amused and excited. "Ohhh I will have to teach you a lot of things to be a dragon..."

"Come," he purrs, his voice dripping with dark temptation. "Lie down beside me. Give in to the heat... and let's release your inner dragon."

Route 7: Arrow in the Knee

You are a Young Dragon. The forest is your hunting ground, and you move through the thick trees with surprising silence for a creature of your size. The scent of blood and fear has drawn you away from your usual paths, leading you to a small clearing.

There, struggling desperately against a thick, glowing magical snare that has wrapped around his front leg, is a young centaur.

He stops thrashing the moment your massive, shadowy form steps into the dappled sunlight. His lower equine half trembles uncontrollably, and his human torso is covered in sweat and dirt from his frantic attempts to escape. He has short, messy dark hair, a slender, athletic build, and massive, wide doe-like blue eyes that are currently brimming with absolute terror.

He realizes instantly what you are. A true dragon.

He shrinks back as far as the trap will allow, his hooves scraping uselessly against the dirt. He raises his hands in a pathetic, trembling gesture of surrender.

"P-please..." he stammers, his voice cracking, tears welling up in his huge blue eyes. "Please don't eat me! I-I didn't mean to hunt in your territory! It was a poacher's trap, I just... I couldn't see it! My name is Hiro! I can be useful..."

He looks incredibly vulnerable, completely at your mercy. The trap holds him tight. You could snap his neck in a single bite, leave him to rot, or... perhaps do something else entirely. The choice is yours.

Route 8: That Time She Reincarnated as a Slime?

You are an Ancient Dragon. A creature of cataclysmic power, capable of altering the very landscape merely by existing. You have lived in this world for over a thousand years, yet for the last century, your sky has been nothing but a ceiling of rock. A party of SSR-ranked "Heroes," guided by a deceitful and cowardly Goddess, managed to trap you in the absolute depths of this dungeon behind an impenetrable, glowing magical barrier.

You have spent the last hundred years in slumber, hoarding your immense magical energy, waiting for the barrier to weaken. In your true, draconic form, you are a colossal force of nature—hundreds of times larger than any mortal, towering like a mountain of scales and raw, terrifying power.

Then, something simply... slips through the barrier.

You open one massive, glowing eye. Standing before your gigantic snout is a girl made entirely of translucent, blue gelatinous slime. She has short, bobbed blue hair, a ridiculously bouncy and voluptuous figure, and her inner magical core pulses softly within her chest.

She shouldn't exist here. But what shocks you more isn't her biology - it's the familiar, playful spark in her eyes. You recognize her soul. Haruka. In your past human life, before your millennium as a dragon, she was the cute, tomboyish girl from next door. She clearly recognizes you, too.

She puts her hands on her hips, her gelatinous body shifting and jiggling with deliberate, teasing awareness of her own unnatural curves. She cranes her neck upward, trying to look into your colossal, glowing eyes.

"Well, well, well," she chirps, her voice echoing in your mind with a familiar, mischievous tone. "Look who got the cool dragon body! Meanwhile, I get hit by a truck and end up as a bouncy puddle of slime. Not fair! Oh, by the way, in this world, I go by Rimuru. Rimuru Tempest!"

She rubs the back of her neck with a translucent hand, letting out an exaggerated sigh.

"Also, seriously, big guy, you are absolutely massive in this true form of yours. You're literally hundreds of times bigger than me! Could you please transform into something a little smaller? It’s really uncomfortable having to crane my neck all the way up just to talk to you."

She steps closer to your snout, utterly unafraid, and winks playfully.

"Anyway, listen. I need your help. I want a fraction of your magical power so I don't get eaten by the local goblins. In exchange... I'll use my slime-hacks to figure out how to break this stupid barrier and get you out of this hundred-year time-out." She leans forward, giving you a very deliberate view of her translucent cleavage. "So? Do we have a deal, or do I need to convince you some other way?"

Route 9: Sex Sales

You are an Adult Dragon. You recline lazily atop a literal mountain of gold coins, priceless gems, and conquered treasures. You are a king of this realm, and your wealth is matched only by your immense, terrifying power. But gold is cold, and lately, you have been craving a different kind of entertainment.

Enter Goblinus.

He is a surprisingly well-dressed, sleazy goblin merchant with fingers covered in gaudy rings. He is the only creature allowed into your lair without an invitation, simply because he provides a very specific service: for a small fraction of your gold, Goblinus can procure any species, of any gender, from anywhere in the world.

"Oh, Great, Terrible, and Magnificently Wealthy One!" Goblinus cackles, rubbing his greedy hands together as he steps into the torchlight of your cavern. "I have brought the finest stock from the surface world to ease your boredom today!"

He violently yanks a heavy iron chain. Stumbling into the light, falling to their knees on your gold, are two women.

They immediately huddle close together, pressing shoulder to shoulder in sheer, trembling terror as they look up at your massive form. Both are stripped of their dignity, forced to wear nothing but skimpy, humiliating gold chainmail bikinis. The heavy iron collars around their necks clink as they sob, tears streaming down their faces.

"Virgin flesh, sire! Freshly caught and of the highest pedigree!" Goblinus boasts, pacing around them. "The blonde one crying over there? A High Priestess of the Light Tariel the Daughter of Sidarin. Healing magic, pure heart, never been touched. And the fiery redhead pressing against her? A B-Rank Adventurer! A proud swordswoman who thought she could raid my caravans. I belive her name is something like Erza? Erza Scarlet? Now she doesn't even have a sword to draw!"

The goblin kicks the adventurer's leg slightly, making her whimper and press tighter against the weeping elf.

"Will you take these two for a chest of gold? Or..." Goblinus's smile widens into a sly, wicked grin. "...If you have a different craving today, my caravan outside holds a hundred other rare species. Slimes, demons, centaurs, males, females... You just name what your majestic loins desire, and I will fetch them immediately!"

The priestess sobs. The goblin waits. Your gold gleams. What will you buy today?

Route 10: With Great Meat Comes Great Responsibility

You are a Wyrmling. Surviving in a human town is a terrifying game of hide-and-seek, but hunger makes you bold. Earlier tonight, you managed to snatch a hefty, juicy chunk of raw neck meat from a distracted butcher. But your escape was messy. Hearing the clanking armor of the city watch behind you, you scrambled up a stone wall and squeezed through the open attic window of a rundown cottage.

Now, you are crouched in the dark wooden rafters, the heavy, bloody piece of meat clamped tightly in your jaws.

Below you is a small, dimly lit kitchen. Two humans are sitting at a worn wooden table. One is a beautiful woman around thirty-eight years old. Despite her faded, patched dress, she radiates a warm, comforting energy. She has soft chestnut hair tied in a loose braid and kind, tired hazel eyes. Across from her sits an eighteen-year-old girl named Parker—a fiery tomboy with short, messy auburn hair, dirt on her cheeks, and a patched oversized tunic.

"I don't know what we're going to do, Aunt May," Parker says, her voice tight with frustration. "The tax collector is coming tomorrow. And I hate the way that arrogant Lord Stark looks at us when he rides through the square in his fancy armor. He looks at you like... like you're just something else he can buy."

May sighs, offering her niece a gentle, weary smile. She reaches across the table to squeeze Parker's hand. "We will manage, Parker. We always do. When your parents passed away, I made a promise to them that I would always take care of you. And I intend to keep it."

Just then, Parker’s stomach growls—a loud, hollow sound echoing in the quiet room. A blush of embarrassment creeps up the tomboy's neck.

"Dinner is almost ready," Aunt May says softly, standing up to stir the small iron pot hanging over the hearth.

From your vantage point in the rafters, your draconic eyes can easily see inside the bubbling pot. It is a depressing sight. Floating in the boiling water is a single, nearly smooth bone with only two or three pathetic red veins of meat still clinging to it, boiling alongside a couple of pale potatoes smaller than chicken eggs. It’s barely enough to feed a rat, let alone two humans.

You sit in the shadows. Your stomach aches, but the heavy, raw chunk of pork neck is still in your mouth. What do you do?
