章 1: The Princess and Maid in the Dragon’s Nest!
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In an ancient castle in the Valley of Fire Dragon, on the westernmost side of the Land of Enchanted Beast.
"Sir John... Here is your red wine. May I enter?"
A female voice sounded outside the door.
Accompanied by an inexplicable power, the door opened. The white-haired youth in the study room did not turn around. He only said indifferently,
"Come in."
With the boy's permission, a silver-haired girl in goth maid outfit slowly walked in with a wine tray.
Her name was Amy. She wore a simple maid's outfit, but it couldn't hide her magnificent face.
Her long silver hair was tied up behind her back. Her voluptuous figure perfectly supported her loose maid's outfit, and there were even faint signs that it was about to break.
Looking at her face simply made people drool, and her blue eyes looked elsewhere from time to time, as if she was running away from something.
At first glance, she didn't look like a maid at all. In terms of temperament and appearance, she was clearly a spoiled princess from a certain country!
However, what was puzzling was that when such a princess saw the white-haired boy sitting at the desk, she slowed down as she got closer to him.
Amy walked over in trepidation. She lowered her head and looked up at the boy sitting on the chair from time to time, as if she was afraid that he would eat her up.
For a moment, when she was about to approach the desk, she stopped. She didn't know how to put the wine tray on the table.
The sixteen-year-old boy in front of her didn't even raise his head. His golden eyes were reading books that Amy had never seen before.
Seeing that John wasn't paying attention to her, Amy carefully placed the wine tray on the table, afraid that she would disturb his time.
The boy was slim and dressed in gorgeous ethnic clothing. His face, which seemed to be indifferent to everything, was pale and sickly beautiful.
If others saw this scene, they would be puzzled. How could such a handsome boy with white hair make people afraid?
Others might not know, but how could Amy not know?
Although the boy in front of her looked aloof and even a little heartbreaking, Amy knew very well that if he was provoked, even a small kingdom would not be able to withstand his anger!
Because the white-haired boy in front of her was not human at all!
After putting down the wine tray, Amy wished that she could leave the room immediately. At that moment, the boy whom she called John, raised his head. And Amy, who was just about to leave, felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
When John raised his head and looked over, Amy took a deep breath and avoided his gaze. Her bangs covered her eyes, and she was ready to die.
"Well, you can go and rest now."
John took a sip from his goblet and continued reading.
"Yes... Sir John."
Amy nodded submissively. She felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. When she was about to leave the room, she felt as if she had lost control of her legs. She felt numb.
She had to maintain her balance even though she was only a few meters away from the door.
After she had left, an invisible force closed the door again. Amy slumped against the wall, tears welling up in her eyes.
She wanted to cry as usual, but then she thought of the source of her terror in the study room. She bit her thin, pink lips and did not make a sound.
For a moment, tears streaked across Amy's cheeks.
Who would have thought that this princess, who was dressed in a maid's uniform and was submissive to the young man just now, was still a princess of the Kyanos Kingdom three days ago.
Although the kingdom was merely an unremarkable one on the Continent of Gran, she never would have thought that she would be living in the dragon's nest as a maid for the rest of her life. After all, she was actually a princess.
She could forget about such a difference, but if she were to do anything wrong, she would probably die here!
"I can't... I can't go on. I have to leave this place. I have to escape!"
Amy wiped the tears off her face, stood up, and walked out of the castle. She began to plan for her escape.
The structure of the castle was complicated, like a maze.
However, how could Milan know that she wasn't the only one who was lost.
...
In the study room of the ancient castle.
John slowly closed the ancient book of the Dragon Clan and sighed softly.
It was expected that Milan would be afraid of him. After all, he was a dragon. Wasn't he?
That's right!
John was indeed a dragon. Moreover, in western mythology, he was regarded as a disaster and an evil monster!
However, John was not a demon dragon. He traveled back here in time.
Even the name, John, was his name in his previous life before he was here. It wasn't the real name of the demon dragon.
Originally, John was just a student. But when he opened his eyes, he had come to this world of swords and magic.
And he had become a dragon, a half-dragon which had the lowest level and race hierarchy among all the dragons!
What was the concept of traveling back in time to a half-dragon?
In this world, half-dragons could only be considered as the weakest type of dragons. The half-dragon's bloodline was the rarest compared to other dragons, and it was also because of this that although it maintained the appearance of a dragon, its body was much smaller compared to other dragons.
Even the most basic magic of the dragon race, Dragon Breath, could not be performed. Moreover, his human form after transmogrification was just a weak youth.
The most important thing was that when he regained consciousness, the cheater program that ripped him off was also activated.
Why was it said that the cheater was ripping him off?
That was because his system was called the "Evil Dragon Evolution System"?
It sounded very normal. It was a very villainous system. John thought so too, at first.
But after it was activated, the first mission was actually to make him go to the country to snatch the princess and saintess?
Moreover, he was told that his body's lifespan was close to the threshold. If the mission was not completed when the time was up, he would have to reincarnate again?
John, who had read a lot of comics and dramas, also understood that this was a world of swords and magic. Even high-level magical beasts would disdain to see the strength of a half-dragon like him.
Some high-level knights and mages could turn the world upside down with a casual move.
With such a strong background, how could him talk about destroying the country?
What was the difference between that and courting death?
Even so, as he had to complete the evolution as soon as possible to increase his strength, Linluo could only listen to the system's orders and prepare to start snatching the princess after preparation.
Thus, John settled down in this ancient castle.
Through the inheritance of his bloodline, he learned that this ancient castle and the Valley of Fire Dragon that occupied dozens of square miles outside of the castle were his territory.
Fortunately, the first mission took quite a long time, and the system provided bits and pieces of information as a reference.
In less than a week, John understood the structure of this world.
This world was called the Continent of Gran. It was formed by four parts, namely the Castle of Demon that was separated from reality, the Land of Enchanted Beasts in the east, the Elven Forest in the west, and the territory of the orcs and humans.
Among them, the human race relied on the alliance and the use of magic to occupy the largest territory, which was almost half of the Continent of Gran.
In the entire human territory, there were countless city-states and transitions.
After the system provided the information, John was speechless.
If he wanted to snatch the princess or saintess, he could only go to the human country. He could not even get close to the powerful city-states.
After thinking for a while, John could only target a small kingdom at the edge of the human race territory.
That was the Kyanos Kingdom.
This small kingdom was not very powerful. There were less than 50,000 people in the whole country. Even some of the republics resulted from the joining of some city-states were much stronger than Kyanos Kingdom.
Therefore, John quietly came to this country and threatened the king and the residents to hand over their princess.
Perhaps the people in the the kingdom had never seen a dragon before, but within a few days after John revealed his true form, the entire kingdom fell into chaos and unrest.
This morning, the kingdom sent Amy to the Valley of Fire Dragon.
Just as John was thinking, a neutral mechanical voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first mission- random snatching of a princess of the Human Kingdom!"
'Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining a bloodline upgrade reward!'
'Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining a god-class Lucky Draw!'
