… … ominous, ominous.
Queen Bee Arsha was watching Suho’s actions from a distance with an extremely anxious expression.
Kugugugugugugu-!
The pyramid of Ammit vibrated in a very ominous manner as the magical energy poured out endlessly from the guardian.
On the other hand, Ammit, the owner of this place, was watching all these phenomena with interest.
[Hmm. Is it really possible for a dragon’s egg to hatch using such a trick?]
Of course, in theory it wasn’t a wrong method.
However, it was unknown whether a normal dragon could be born this way.
Isn’t that egg too small compared to a normal egg?
Originally, the egg should have been showered with mana by its parent dragons for many years, and its size should have grown to ten times its current size.
However, his parents, Yongin Kamish, died early, leaving him immature.
But perhaps because the guardian, who wasn’t even a dragon, was showering it with mana, the egg itself didn’t seem to be growing in size at all.
[… … Even if they are born, they may be born prematurely or dead.]
At Arsha’s words, Ber, who was munching on a pile of magic stones he had smuggled from the black market, laughed loudly.
[Kiha. How ridiculous! How can a mere dragon compare to the noble bloodline of our little lord! Instead of the lowly dragon’s magical power, the little lord himself is feeding you magical power, so you should know that it is an honor!] [… … I should stop talking.]
Ammit left Ber behind and approached the guardian for the daily quest.
[Okay, hatching eggs is important, but first, start with today’s training and then continue.]
“Oh, is it that time already?”
Suho gets up without saying a word.
But he still held Kamish’s egg in his hand.
Ammit burst into laughter at that sight.
[Do you plan on continuing to hold that during training?]
“Of course. My grandfather’s health is at stake, and I don’t want to waste time.”
Even as he answered this, Suho was still breathing magic into Kamish’s egg.
At that enthusiastic appearance, Ammit’s mouth corners went up to the point of splitting.
[Good! Then do push-ups today with one arm raised!]
“There’s no choice.”
Suho wrapped his entire body in bandages like a mummy without saying a word.
Ammit chuckled with even more satisfaction at the sight.
[How wise! Let’s start today from the beginning with one broken arm!]
Knock knock!
As soon as he finished saying that, Suho started doing push-ups and a refreshing sound of bones breaking was heard from his arms.
But Suho just frowned slightly and continued doing push-ups with one arm.
And with his other hand, he continued to breathe magic into Kamish’s egg.
[… … Everyone is crazy.]
Arsha, who was watching the terrible priest-disciple relationship from afar, had a tired expression on her face.
Shwaaaaak-!
Meanwhile, Kamish’s eggs were slowly waiting for the right time to hatch, oozing with ominous energy.
* * *
One day passed like that, then two days, then the third day.
Contrary to Suho’s boast that he would finish it in one day, Kamish’s egg still showed no signs of hatching.

In the first place, it was impossible for dragons to finish in one day what would have taken them many years to do.
However, Suho was desperate because he was worried about Seong Il-hwan’s well-being, and he had been wrestling with Kamish’s egg for three days without sleeping at night.
“Our Suho is having a hard time because of his incompetent grandfather.”
Seong Il-hwan, who visited the Shadow Dungeon for a moment out of concern for Su-ho, muttered with a bitter expression.
But even in the meantime, signs of cracks were slowly beginning to appear in his body.
If we don’t return to the void quickly before it gets more dangerous… … .
Thud.
That was when.
“uh?”
“oh.”
[Keeec?]
“Huh?”
In that moment, everyone’s eyes widened.
Finally, Kamish’s egg is starting to show signs of hatching!
[The King of Beasts, the Lord of Fangs, prickles his ears.] [The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plagues, watches with his arms folded.] [The King of Yetis, the Lord of the Cold… … .]
Even to the dead monarchs, the hatching of Kamish’s eggs was of primary interest.
It can’t be helped, since he is none other than a descendant of the Dragon Emperor.
Antares, the king of dragons and lord of destruction.
Excluding the Shadow Lord who was an irregular in many ways, this is the moment when the successor to the power of Antares, the strongest monarch in name and reality, is born.
[Keeeek! Your Majesty! You must push harder at this time!]
Encouraged by Ber’s encouragement, Suho put another bottle of mana potion in his mouth and poured out all his magical power.
Then finally… … !
Tsk tsk tsk!
The egg broke, and a small lizard poked its head out.
“Oh, born!”
[Keeeeeek! I was really born!] [Ugh, in the end… … .]
Everyone cheered at the same time, but Arsha was the only one who closed her eyes tightly and sighed.
‘… … So I was born in the end.’
In the end… … that dangerous race was born into this land.
And indeed, the sight of the bastard in Arsha’s eyes was truly horrifying.
Short black horns protruding from the top of the head.
A long, round body and tail that resemble a lizard.
The short limbs attached to its side, the blunt black claws, and even the small wings.
It was a hatchling of the dragon tribe, just smaller in size.
But for some reason, after breaking out of the egg, the guy just stared blankly into space.
‘Can’t you see?’
Suho suddenly became worried at that sight.
Anyway, since it wasn’t a normal birth situation, I couldn’t help but be worried.
But those worries were unfounded.

Bam!
Suddenly the guy came to his senses, opened his eyes wide and looked ahead.
Then, his eyes met with Soo-ho’s, who was holding him with both hands.
Dream… … Bam?
The guy blinked his big eyes and opened his mouth, smiling brightly at Suho.
“… … Beep!”
Tiring!
[‘Pet: Red Dragon Lv.1’ acquired.]
“ah!”
The pet system has been activated for the first time in a long time!
And a name tag appeared above the baby dragon’s head.
[?? Lv.1]
Red Dragon
“Oh. You became my pet right away? Was it because you were born after consuming my magic?”
Suho muttered as he looked at the system message that appeared before his eyes.
Looking back, it was similar during Gray’s time.
Tiring!
[You can give your pet a name.] [Please give your pet a name.]
‘The name is.’
While Suho was thinking about a name for a moment, a growling sound was suddenly heard from next to him.
“Gurrung… … .”
Is it an instinctive competitive spirit?
Suddenly, the first pet, Gray, started barking fiercely while glaring at the baby dragon next to him.
“Groan! Groan!”
The sight of him furrowing his nose and baring his teeth fiercely was incredibly menacing.
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Monarch, nods in satisfaction at his successor’s bravery.]
But that only lasts for a moment.
Huh?
“Beep?”
At the sudden noise, the baby dragon’s head turned to the side and looked at Gray…
“… … .”
As if nothing had happened, Gray shut his mouth with a blank expression and looked down.
“beep?”
“… … .”
The baby dragon tilted its head with a puzzled expression, but Gray for some reason maintained a solemn expression and did not raise his head.
But soon, as the baby dragon turned its head and looked back at its guardian, Gray’s expression instantly changed to a vicious one and he began to growl at the baby dragon.
“Krrrr… … !”
“Beep?”
“… … .”

Of course, when the guy looked at him again, Gray suddenly calmed down, shut his mouth, and closed his eyes.
Amazing change of position.
He didn’t forget to tuck his tail under his butt either.
The sight of this caused mixed feelings of joy and sorrow among the dead monarchs.
[The King of Beasts, the Lord of the Fangs, sighs softly.] [The King of Yetis, the Lord of the Cold, bursts into laughter.] [The King of Bugs, the Lord of the Plagues, laughs and cackles.]
I feel sorry for Gray, but Suho couldn’t hold back his laughter either.
“I guess he’s higher in rank than Gray.”
[It’s a given. No matter how abnormally born or how small in size, a dragon is a dragon… … Gyaak?!]
Shhh- thud!
That was when.
As Arsha was answering Suho’s words, something like a whip suddenly flew at her and snatched her away in an instant.
[Please, please save me, Guardian… … !]
The culprit is the baby dragon.
Arsha’s desperate screams gradually died down inside the mouth of the baby dragon that was licking its lips.
and.
Gulp.
It was truly an accident that happened in an instant.
But before Suho could worry, Arsha appeared from behind again, looking fine.
[Phew. Don’t worry. Luckily, it was a clone… … Huh?!]
Wedge- thud!
[… … !]
And once again, it was a baby dragon that snatched Arsha away with its long tongue and ate her.
“Beep!”
And then, looking at the guy’s expression as he smiled so brightly at Suho, Suho couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
And again, joy and sorrow were mixed among the dead monarchs.
[The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plagues covers his face and cannot raise his head.] [The King of Yetis, the Lord of Cold bursts into laughter.]
“Oh my. It’s not some kind of frog. It’s a true top predator.”
Suho saw that and snickered, deciding on a name for the boy.
“Then just name it Frog or Frog… … .”
“No, wait. Suho?”
Seong Il-hwan grabbed Su-ho’s shoulder and said with a serious face.
“But since we are in a position where we have to ask the Dragon Emperor for a favor, wouldn’t it be better to be a little more careful about naming the successor?”
“Ah, Grandpa is right. Then… … .”
Seong Il-hwan breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, isn’t it a matter of one’s life?
Suho, who was thinking about a name again, remembered the name of a character that appeared in a game he played before.
Since that character was also a spirit lord who controlled fire, it seemed like an appropriate name for the red dragon.
“… … Ragnaros. No, let’s just call it ‘Ragnar’ for short.”
Tiring!
As soon as they decided on a name, a new name appeared above the head of the baby dragon that was quietly sitting on Suho’s hand and rolling its eyes while waiting for Arsha to approach again.
[Ragnar Lv.1]
Red Dragon

“Yeah. Much better than a frog.”
Only then did Seong Il-hwan nod his head in relief.
But at that time.
Hurrruk!
“… … !”
The moment Ragnar got a name.
Suddenly, a crimson flame began to burn from Suho’s hand all over Ragna’s body.
and.
“Beep!”
The moment when Ragna burst into long tears towards Suho.
Tiring!
[Passive skill ‘(Unknown)’ is activated.]
Suddenly, he felt time stop, and a strange feeling appeared in Soo-ho’s eyes.
The plan worked!
To think that I would ever be able to meet the dead dragon like this!
however.
Something was strange.
Hurrruk!
‘… … Ugh?!’
Suddenly a terrible scream burst out of Suho’s mouth.
This time, for some reason, it was quite different from the other monarchs.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
‘Kwaaak! Kwaaak-!’
It was hot!
It was so hot!
It’s like swallowing boiling oil!
A tremendous burning pain ran down my throat and began to burn the blood vessels throughout my body!
‘Kuaaaaaaaaaah-!’
Finally, Suho’s shadow began to boil and turn into pitch-black flames that began to burn his entire body.
In that terrible pain, Suho’s consciousness was gradually sucked into a distant darkness.
and…….
Gooooooooo!
The end of a deep, deep abyss.
In a world of empty black and white where even light has been swallowed up.
Suho finally faced it.
A man sitting on top of a giant dragon’s head.

‘The interest is… …!’
solvent.
Antares, the king of dragons and lord of destruction.
He looked over Suho’s entire body with an extremely arrogant gaze.
And then.
[You.]
Feeling a familiar aura from Suho, Yongje suddenly smiled brightly and showed his teeth with a ferocious expression on his face.
[… … Son of Shadow!]
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
At that moment, a murderous aura hotter and more vicious than boiling lava engulfed Suho.
