Power Progression

Background / History

Before reincarnation, Chaos was an ordinary human office worker who resented his demanding work schedule. He describes himself as having been alone throughout his former life, with no attachments worth returning to. Rebirth as a green dragon therefore delights him rather than troubling him 1.

His earliest awareness occurs in a white space containing an enormous golden hourglass. Already possessing his true name and dragon inheritance, he initially assumes that he only needs to sleep, grow, and hatch. Breaking out proves painful: he fractures his claws against the shell’s weak point and relies on natural healing between attempts 1.

Outside the egg, he finds a cavern containing all five chromatic dragon colors but no dragon mother. He later suspects that a powerful dragon deliberately placed the clutch there as “seeds” for the future; the supplied chapters do not confirm that explanation 2 7.

Appearance

Chaos is an emerald-green hatchling with a round head and plump body. Hera considers his build and gleaming scales attractive by dragon standards, particularly after his temporal power changes his left eye 1 40.

• Scales: Smooth, gemstone-like emerald scales, with thick white elongated scales covering his belly 1.
• Eyes: Emerald eyes with golden slit pupils and pink inner eyelid membranes 1 7.
• Temporal eye: His left pupil later resembles a golden pocket watch with two moving hands; his vision remains clear 41.
• Claws and teeth: Jet-black hooked talons and pearly white, rounded, pointed teeth 1.
• Wings: A pair of emerald-scaled wings used for gliding, hunting, and hovering above magic-array construction 9 11 36.
• Relative size: Initially about half Agatha’s size; his limited physical endurance becomes conspicuous during prolonged flight 2 33.

Personality

Chaos is opportunistic, greedy, and comfortable disguising exploitation as generosity. He steals newly hatched dragons’ eggshells, threatens An into cooperating, and gives Roya Agatha’s name to redirect her revenge. He also takes pride in secretly tangling four unconscious hatchlings’ tails to remove competitors for food 3 4 5.

His confidence does not prevent practical caution. He yields when Agatha has an overwhelming advantage, delays entering a dark passage after his ominous dream, and checks whether Agatha can withstand Bamokangla before committing to the attack. Although he initially wants the excitement of close combat, he accepts his spellcasting specialization and seeks a teammate who can protect his frail body 7 9 12 33.

He enjoys watching quarrels and deliberately allows Vinnie to become Feeny’s rival. Their sincere affection occasionally stirs his conscience, but he continues postponing contracts while accepting their help. His attachment to White Chubby becomes more reciprocal: after she carries him through an exhausting flight, he resolves to protect her in return 33 40 42 45.

Abilities & Skills

True Dragon Inheritance

An inherited knowledge system automatically identifies unfamiliar things and supplies information accumulated by generations of dragons 1.

• Identifies the internal weak point of his egg and the nature of Xelila 1 10.
• Provides spell knowledge and searchable grimoires, including the Water Serpent and High-Speed Water Blade arrays 7 14 27.
• Does not contain an explanation of his golden hourglass 1.
• Is not uniformly trustworthy: Chaos is wary of material authored by green dragons because of their reputation for deception 3.

Magical Bloodline Talents

His awakened bloodline grants broad elemental control and growing mana reserves, at the expense of physical robustness 7.

Time Manipulation

The golden hourglass initially reveals a future scene in which a tentacle kills Chaos while he drinks beside an underground river. Agatha later finds the described location and survives a corresponding attack, confirming the warning’s practical value 6 22 23.

• Premonition: Allows him to identify the dangerous pool before visiting it himself 22 33.
• Active temporal control: By the aftermath of Bamokangla’s defeat, he has awakened usable time power; he subsequently tests stopping time 39 41.
• Visible manifestation: His left pupil becomes a functioning golden pocket-watch image 40 41.
• Limit: Active use rapidly consumes mana. He ends his test quickly to avoid collapsing again 41.

Venomous Thread

An unranked life-branch cantrip creates emerald threads whose venomous properties derive from mana 7 14.

• Shapes the threads into figures through mental control 7.
• Channels venom through his claws to kill a Xelila during an aerial strike 11.
• Contaminates his prey’s flesh, making the affected meat bitter and unpleasant to eat 11.

Perceptive Vines and Thorn Magic

Perceptive Vines grows mana-fed vines through which Chaos can see. He later alters its glyph arrangement to produce thick black vines covered in thorns 14 18.

• Underwater scouting: Extends a vine roughly one hundred meters into the river; the life element supplies darkness adaptation beyond the ordinary spell’s capabilities 15.
• Hunting: Catches fish and shrimp and provides bait to lure Kashi into prepared ambushes 19 20 24.
• Remote observation: Watches through two vines while concealed beneath muddy water 24.
• Restraint: Continually grows thorn vines until Hera is immobilized just short of reaching him 21.
• Limit: Sustaining the output against Hera drains his mana and leaves him needing several hours to recover fully 22.

Water Serpent Magic Array

Also called the Water Snake Formation, this fourth-circle array creates a giant serpent made of water. Chaos selects it for its versatility rather than the stronger cutting properties of the alternative High-Speed Water Blade array 27 29.

• Properties: Shared vision, enhanced bite, severing, physical immunity, and agility 27.
• Construction: Uses engraved Kashi water magic cores and fish bones arranged into two concentric rings around a winding serpent pattern 35 36.
• Elemental assistance: Feeny connects her mana to the core at the serpent’s head 36.
• Control: Chaos transfers his consciousness into the serpent, searches underwater, fires a water ball, and coils around Bamokangla 37.
• Defenses: Ordinary physical tentacle strikes pass through its body, but Bamokangla’s water-enchanted tentacles can resist its bite and restrain its jaws 37.
• Vulnerability: Its land-based formation requires protection; Bamokangla targets the array once it rises above the water 31 38.

Recovery and Practical Skills

• Natural healing: Repairs fractured claws by consuming bodily nutrients 1.
• Life-mana treatment: Produces emerald liquid that heals Feeny’s scalded feet 29.
• Cooking: Prepares fish and heart-meat hot pot, seeks seasonings from Vinnie, and discovers a salt vein 29 43 45 49.
• Stone carving: Makes small chairs and tableware for the fairies using his claws 45.
• Hunting organization: Designs a channel-and-pit lure, assigns ambush positions, and directs the hatchlings’ array-building work 16 23 36.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Stone pot and stove — Cooking equipment that Chaos protects when Hera nearly knocks the pot into the river 29.
• Kashi magic cores — Sought as payment because consuming cores can increase his maximum mana; also used as power sources for the Water Snake Formation 20 25 35.
• Bamokangla’s magic core — An enormous blue core reserved for Chaos after the creature’s defeat. He eats it completely and then sleeps 40 41.
• Fish-bone array framework — Prepared and planted by the hatchlings under his direction 35 36.
• Stone utensils and seating — Hand-carved gifts for Feeny and Vinnie 45.
• Salt ore — A large block excavated from a chamber Chaos explores with Agatha; she carries it back 49.

Relationships

• Agatha Tiamat Thor — Protector, hunting partner, and prospective long-term ally. She repeatedly feeds him, takes his premonition seriously, and helps defend his array. Her original plan was to raise him to preserve dragonkind’s bloodline; after recognizing his temporal potential, she abandons controlling his future choices and promises not to harm him 2 22 25 36 39 41 50.
• White Chubby — His first recruited teammate, won over through food and an agreement to follow his orders and let him divide their catches. Initially chosen as a potential frontline protector, she later carries him when his flight endurance fails 12 13 33.
• Feeny — Water elemental fairy who trusts him and wants a familiar contract. She assists his formation and comforts him, while Chaos repeatedly delays commitment and privately plans to keep benefiting from her friendship 29 30 33 36 40.
• Vinnie — Life elemental who first offers a contract through Perceptive Vines. Chaos later summons her for seasoning plants and encourages her rivalry with Feeny rather than accepting a contract 14 43 45.
• An Bilatus Baroyalix — Black hatchling whose eggshell he steals. She memorizes his scent, later works on his excavation and cookware tasks, and receives an invitation to eat as an apology for her injured wing—although he still makes her help prepare the meal 5 36 42.
• Roya / Loya — Green hatchling who seeks revenge after he steals her eggshell and fluid. His use of Agatha’s name initially causes her to challenge the wrong dragon 4 8 9.
• Hera — Red hatchling he defeats with thorn vines. She subsequently pursues him as a future mating partner and offers him valuable food and cores, but Chaos misreads her first gift as intimidation 21 39 40 47.
