Thatâs right, I was different.
I was not even a dragon. I was originally a man. I was brought here by two retarded goddesses. Even if they said these to humor me, werenât they actually thinking something else entirely?
I had been deceiving you guys all along.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Butâ¦
âMight I remind you that I am the boss here?â mother interrupted.
The originally noisy crowd suddenly stopped talking and carefully observed mother as they waited for the next development.
However, mother didnât continue to admonish them and pulled me into her embrace instead. She hugged me tightly and said, âYou will be the boss in the future when mommy retires. However, right now, you are still too youngâ¦â
My face was buried in her breasts, but I didnât have the mood to indulge in the soft feeling. My mind was as chaotic as rice and wheat scattered messily on the ground.
I am different from you guys, I canât even transform into a dragon, can I still rule over the dragons like this?
âItâs all my fault,â mother suddenly said with a sobbing tone, âItâs all because mommy is too incompetent, thatâs why you couldnât hatch even after such a long time. Mommy knew from the beginning that you already have Level 9 Magic Power upon birth. Dragons normally hatch when they reach Level 6. Itâs all because mommy is too useless. Iâve made you wait too long in the egg and caused your form to freeze.â
No, thatâs wrong.
âItâs all mommyâs fault,â two clear teardrops trickled down from motherâs eyes.
No, it was clearly those two goddessesâ fault, why are you placing all the blame on yourself?
Why did you not reject me? It was the natural order for animals to reject a subspecies.
If you keep this up, it will make me want to cry as well.
âOh my god, why is the princess crying?â
âD- donât cry, it⦠itâs actually not a big deal not being able to transform!â
âT-thatâs right, princess! I can let you ride on me whenever you want.â
ââ»â¤ââ off! The princess should ride on me instead, I am the fastest among my peers.â
âHehe, and thatâs only among your peers. How can you act so arrogant when you are merely a Middle-Rank Saint.â
âAs if you are not a Middle Rank yourself! Age is clearly catching up to you already and you are still a Middle Rank, arenât you embarrassed at all?!â
âHey, meat merchant, donât take it too far! To tell you the truth, I canât stand looking at you for a long time already.â
âYou old coot, who are you calling a meat merchant, I am a sculptor!â
âYou mother ââ¤ââââ¡, which sculptor in their right mind would use meat to carve a sculpture? Did you know whoever you modeled looks like they have been ââ¤âââââ skinned?! The last time you did that, the kids at old Katâs house cried!â1
âCan you blame me for his kidsâ cowardice? Why donât you speak for yourself, you old coot! Always pretending to be a loyal dog in front of her majesty, but who didnât know that you, Akarin, is the most despicable and treacherous dragon among us all?! That time, if you didnât cheat in the competition, thereâs no way I would lose to you! The prime minister position should have rightfully be mine!â
âHow can you blame me for your own lack of skills?â
âLack of skills? How about we have a bout right now?â
âVery well, whoever wins will be the next prime minister!â
âAnd also the position to become the princessâ mount!â
Finishing his words, the sculptor reverted his transformation and rushed at Akarin.
Akarin was not holding back either. His eyes shone a golden hue as he wrestles with the sculptor.
Those two mighty dragons looked like children fighting as they grabbed each other and bit with their teeth. Their prestige as dragons was nowhere to be seen.
But didnât I already know they didnât have any prestige as dragons? Not only prestige, but even their IQ and dignity were also lackingâ¦
They were just a group of idiots.
And Iâm also an idiot, why am I comparing them to the dregs of society? Even if they are idiots, they are still genuinely powerful beings.
âEat my claws!â
âIâm blocking that! Hmph, I have already understood your attack patterns you old coot. Now die! Taste my Black Dragon Assault!â
âIâm also blocking that! Haha, do you think you are the only one improving? I can live till today after duping so many people is not all because of luck! Take my Divine Dragon Tail attack!â
âI dodgeâ¦â
âI blockâ¦â
âI jumpâ¦â
âTaste my Phantom Jab!â
âEat my Finger Offensive!â2
Maybe⦠itâs because they are grand idiots after allâ¦
â¦
Why, as a dragon, are they not using magic to fightâ¦
Why, as a dragon, are their fighting style so unsightlyâ¦
Why are they fighting in the first placeâ¦
Why does my heart feel so warmâ¦
Why does my chest feel so warm to be a part of themâ¦
âPfff~â It felt so warm that I laughed involuntarily.
âOooh! The princess is smiling again.â
âW- what? Could it be that the shock was too great?!â
âG- go find a psychological doctor, quickly!â
âBut we do not have a psychological doctor. In fact, we donât even have a doctor!â
âWhat?! We have a chef and a loyal dog, but not even a doctor?!â
âAre you looking down on culinary arts?!â
âWho are you calling loyal dog?!â
Who says Iâm laughing due to shock, itâs onlyâ¦
I stretched my hand towards mother, who only stared blankly due to my sudden laughter, and wiped her tearsâ¦
Itâs only because Iâve become the same as all of youâ¦
Authorâs Note: At this point, the reader might be confused as to why the dragons are making such a big deal out of a mere dragon transformation technique. However, to the dragons, that was their original form. They only transformed into human body due to its convenience. Being unable to dragonize means that they have lost their original body. Thatâs why the queen thought it was her fault and blamed herself. And also why the other dragons were trying so hard to make the protagonist smile.
As for the protagonist, heâs actually a very self-conscious person. Heâs only using Eight-Grader Syndrome to cover up his inferiority complex. This has to do with his experience in previous life.
As for what those experience entail⦠I will write them when the real adventure begins, please look forward to it.
â¦okay, color me surprised. This dragon actually has common sense!
Oh god⦠these skill names are as hard to translate as the character names in this series⦠Wait, are they even skill names to begin with? Sounds like theyâre just trying to poke each otherâs eyes. Anyway, the fighting scene doesnât look promising if this is how itâs going to be in the future. Iâm guessing this novel is more on the comedic side than the action type.
