Chapter Summaries

Redd, an eleven-year-old descendant of Valyria’s Dragon King bloodline, struggled through hunger and exhaustion as he traveled to the Valyria Ruins to complete his system quest. He reached the ruined land and encountered a grotesque, rotting snake.

• Redd reviewed his system panels and saw that his quest was to reach the Valyria Ruins for a King Ghidorah reward.
• Despite hunger and doubts about the system, Redd continued toward the distant volcanoes.
• Redd reached the fractured, ash-covered Valyria Ruins and struggled to breathe in the sulfurous air.
• Redd spotted crumbling buildings and a long snake whose body was mostly rotted away.

Redd received King Ghidorah's egg and unlocked Dragon King's Aura, then used the egg to open a hidden stone door into Valyria. He entered the land beyond and set out on a new adventure.

• The system gave Redd a Dragon Egg and unlocked the pet panel, revealing that King Ghidorah was hatching and that Redd could use Dragon King's Aura.
• Redd activated Dragon King's Aura, freezing the nearby creatures with fear, then picked up the egg and kept it safe.
• Redd found a cave and ate a fat lizard to restore his strength before continuing across the barren land.
• Redd placed King Ghidorah's egg in a recess in an enormous stone door, which opened to reveal a tunnel.
• Redd passed through the tunnel into Valyria, saw Red Fire Peak and a forest of dead trees, and strode forward to begin his new adventure.

Redd searched the ruins of Valyria for energy to hatch King Ghidorah and found shelter among the ruins at night. Watching the deadly predators that roamed after dark, he realized the place was a forbidden zone for humans.

• Redd used his dragon might to immobilize a snake, killed it, and roasted it near lava for a meal.
• Redd considered whether dragon blood or fire magic could provide the energy to hatch King Ghidorah, but the system did not respond.
• Redd pressed deeper into Valyria, found only ruins, and chose a shelter beneath fallen stone blocks before nightfall.
• Redd watched fire earthworms devour a vulture, a red snake prey on the worms, and a dark creature seize the snake.
• Redd recognized that Valyria's ruins were extremely dangerous at night and resolved to survive and continue his search.

Redd saw an adult dragon fly toward the central volcano and realized its Bloodfire energy could help hatch King Ghidorah, so he decided to seek the dragon and try to tame it. The next morning, he set out through Valyria’s ruins, found food, and left most of it for the ants that had followed him.

• A dragon flew over the ruins, and Redd’s system detected Bloodfire energy as he watched it head toward the central volcano.
• Redd decided to search for the dragon’s lair and attempt to tame it, keeping hatching King Ghidorah as a fallback plan.
• Redd slept safely in the ruins under the protection of his Dragon King's Aura and woke at dawn.
• Redd found an abandoned canine carcass, then noticed a swarm of ants following him for the meat.
• Redd roasted and ate one foreleg near lava, wrapped the other three legs as provisions, and left the rest of the carcass for the ants.

Redd followed a dragon toward a fractured volcano he believed held its lair, gathering weapons from a ruined palace along the way. As he passed within ten meters of a massive dragon skeleton, the system suddenly spoke to him.

• Redd spotted a dragon flying from a distinctive fractured volcano and set off toward it after failing to get its attention.
• Five wild dogs fled when Redd's Dragon King's Aura took effect in the ruins of a dilapidated palace.
• Redd searched the ruins and collected a short sword, a round shield, two rusty longswords, and three daggers.
• Redd found a huge dragon skeleton partly buried near the palace ruins and approached it in awe.
• As Redd passed within ten meters of the skeleton, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Redd absorbed magical energy from a dragon skeleton, raising his mission progress to two percent, then continued toward the Dragonpit through the dangerous ruins of Valyria. After getting lost and entering a forest, he found water while a group of cursed creatures tracked his Dragon Might.

• Redd absorbed the dragon skeleton’s residual Blood and Fire Magic energy, increasing his mission progress by one percent, and the skeleton vanished.
• Redd continued toward the Dragonpit as twisted creatures emerged from the ground and followed his trail.
• Redd lost his way among volcanic fissures and entered a forest in search of water.
• Cursed creatures and deformed monsters followed the lingering traces of Redd’s Dragon Might into the forest, so he hid and then trailed them cautiously.
• Redd found a lake, drank, made a wooden water flask, and left the shore to avoid being surrounded.

Redd fought off waves of deformed monsters, escaped up a tree, and watched Green Poison Ants battle the creatures below. As nearby magical creatures died, King Ghidorah’s hatching progress rose to 3.9%, revealing that the system collected energy from nearby deaths.

• Redd killed a wild dog and fought off a horde of deformed monsters while sheltering behind his shield and a tree.
• Green Poison Ants arrived and attacked the monsters, giving Redd a chance to escape.
• Redd climbed a large tree as another mass of deformed creatures surrounded him, and he discovered his Dragon King's Aura had no effect on them.
• The Green Poison Ants battled the creatures beneath the tree while Redd checked his system panel.
• Redd realized that magical creature deaths nearby supplied energy to King Ghidorah, raising its hatching progress to 3.9%.

Redd survived the deformed creatures in the forest and spent months crossing dangerous terrain to reach the Broken Volcano, where the dragon's lair lay. He began climbing the volcano and discovered steps on its rugged slope.

• After the Green Poison Ants defeated the deformed creatures, Redd waited until the area seemed safe, then left the forest and traveled cautiously for a week.
• Redd climbed a mountain to locate the Broken Volcano and spent two months traveling toward it, finding dragon bones that triggered a swarm of deformed creatures.
• Redd fled across open ground, took shelter in a narrow cave, and fought the creatures for a day and night until he killed them all, raising his hatching progress to 27.1%.
• After detouring around bones and traveling for another month, Redd reached the foot of the Broken Volcano.
• Redd began climbing the volcano carefully and discovered steps along its rugged surface.

Redd explored the ruins of a palace built into a volcano and found the enormous black dragon that had survived Valyria’s destruction. After facing the dragon without retreating, he sensed that it had accepted him and discovered it was a hundred meters long.

• Redd searched the volcanic ruins and concluded that a dragon’s lair was hidden somewhere inside.
• A huge black dragon returned to the volcano, and Redd followed it to its lair despite being battered by the wind from its wings.
• Redd found the dragon resting and cautiously approached, then touched its scales.
• The dragon opened its eyes and stared at Redd, but closed them without attacking.
• Redd sensed a subtle connection between their bloodlines and realized the dragon had accepted him.
• Redd examined the dragon and saw that it measured a hundred meters in length.

Redd bonded with Ehm, a 191-year-old black female dragon, and used her to hunt creatures in the Valyria Ruins, raising King Ghidorah’s hatching progress to 57%. After Ehm warned him against going out at night, Redd rested, then agreed to accompany her when she set off at first light to handle something.

• Redd rode the black dragon out of the dragonpit, and she roared and breathed black dragonfire as they flew.
• Redd inspected the Pet Panel and learned that the dragon was named Ehm, was 191 years old, and had a status listed as cursed.
• Redd slept on Ehm’s back and rode her through the Valyria Ruins, where her dragonfire helped him hunt creatures and raise King Ghidorah’s hatching progress to 57%.
• Ehm conveyed feelings of discouragement, danger, and death, so Redd decided not to hunt in the ruins at night.
• At first light, Ehm began a running takeoff while Redd was still asleep, then stopped when he ordered her to halt.
• Redd realized Ehm had something to do, agreed to go with her, and climbed onto her back.

Redd and Ehm fought and killed an enormous sandworm in Valyria, raising King Ghidorah’s hatching progress to 77%. Ehm then brought Redd to a hidden lair, where they met an ailing old crimson dragon that accepted Redd before joining Ehm to eat the sandworm.

• Ehm carried Redd into a barren valley, where they battled and killed a terrifying sandworm.
• After the sandworm died, Redd saw King Ghidorah’s hatching progress rise by 20% to 77%.
• Ehm dragged the sandworm’s corpse to a concealed dragon lair and called out to its occupant.
• An old crimson dragon emerged, its body covered in rotting, writhing lumps, and studied Redd until he saw approval in its eyes.
• The old crimson dragon turned to eat the sandworm, and Ehm joined it.

Redd discovered that parasitic growths covered the old dragon and could not be removed without harming it, so he left to search for a solution while planning to hatch King Ghidorah. Flying farther with Ehm, he found black mist in several hollows and attacked a Sandworm, which was hit by Ehm’s dragonfire.

• Redd examined the old dragon’s rotting growths and recognized them as parasites he had seen on other creatures.
• Redd cut off one growth, but it rapidly regrew, and he realized removing the parasites might destroy the old dragon.
• Redd decided to keep the old dragon alive, seek another way to help it, and hatch King Ghidorah first.
• Redd departed with Ehm, and the old dragon answered Ehm’s farewell roar.
• Redd spotted black mist in hollows, directed Ehm to dive and breathe fire, and struck a Sandworm that was partly aboveground.

Redd and Ehm fought a sandworm, then hunted corrupted creatures across the land to raise King Ghidorah’s hatching progress to 93%. After returning to the Dragonpit, Redd rested, ate tiger meat, and practiced swordsmanship.

• Redd had Ehm evade the sandworm’s rocks and attack it with Dragonfire, burning its exposed body during the gaps between its counterattacks.
• The sandworm burrowed underground and refused to emerge, so Redd abandoned the hunt and searched other areas of black mist with Ehm.
• After finding no more sandworms, Redd ordered Ehm to burn creatures on the ground throughout the day, and the system showed King Ghidorah’s hatching progress at 93%.
• Redd returned to the Dragonpit, ate roasted tiger meat, and saw that Ehm was exhausted after a day of flying and breathing Dragonfire.
• After eating, Redd picked up his sword and practiced basic cuts and thrusts.

Redd debated what to do after hatching King Ghidorah, but woke to find the black dragon Ehm cursed with the same growths he had seen on an old red dragon. The system offered no explanation, and Ehm comforted Redd as he became furious and frightened.

• After practicing on Firepeak Mountain, Redd wondered whether to rebuild Valyria, go to Westeros, or raise King Ghidorah before deciding, then fell asleep beside Ehm.
• During the night, shadowy figures failed to enter Redd and eventually slipped into Ehm, whose body briefly trembled before going still.
• The next morning, Redd noticed small lumps on Ehm's neck and found that the dragon's system status read "cursed."
• Redd repeatedly tried to get details from the system, but it reported insufficient permissions, leaving him cursing in frustration.
• Ehm woke and gently rubbed against Redd as though trying to comfort him.

Redd checked that he remained healthy despite the curse and flew with Ehm to a volcanic crater, where Ehm hunted magical worms. The worms advanced King Ghidorah’s hatching task to 97%, and Redd waited for the task to finish.

• Redd checked his Personal Panel and saw that his status was healthy, then resolved to complete the system task that day.
• Redd mounted Ehm, and the dragon took off from the Dragonpit before signaling that it needed to land.
• Ehm landed with Redd inside a vast volcanic crater filled with hot rocks, sulfurous smoke, and lava fissures.
• Ehm blasted worms from the fissures with Dragonfire and ate them while Redd confirmed that they contained magical energy.
• Redd explored the system and found that the hatching progress had reached 97%, while Ehm finished its meal about an hour later.

Redd and Ehm completed the volcano extermination mission, and Redd's Dragon Egg hatched into the three-headed King Ghidorah. After unlocking the system and bonding with the newborn dragon, Redd learned that his new shared abilities depended on Ghidorah's strength, and fed the hungry Er Lang eggshell.

• Redd and Ehm searched the volcano for worms until they completed the mission and filled the progress bar to 100%.
• Redd's golden Dragon Egg hatched, revealing a newborn three-headed King Ghidorah.
• The system unlocked its permissions and modules, then assigned Redd the third-stage mission to become a king, with the Star-Eater Bloodline as its reward.
• Redd formed a mental connection with King Ghidorah and named its heads Da Lang, Er Lang, and Kevin.
• Redd checked his system panels and discovered that his shared abilities were weak because they depended on King Ghidorah's strength.
• Er Lang bit Redd's hair, so Redd gave him eggshell fragments to eat.

Redd learned that King Ghidorah needed 10 evolution points to advance and discovered that Ehm’s Resentment Curse could be removed with divine power or a powerful bloodline. Suspecting his connection to King Ghidorah might let his blood help, Redd returned to the lair and cut his palm to test it on Ehm.

• Redd found a system function for strengthening pets with evolution points, but he had none, and King Ghidorah needed 10 to evolve.
• Redd inspected Ehm’s Resentment Curse and learned it came from vengeful spirits created by followers who sacrificed their souls to a deity.
• Redd concluded that a god had likely caused the destruction of the Valyria Freehold Empire and resolved to search the ruins for magical relics.
• Redd learned that divine power or a powerful bloodline could remove the curse, then considered using his blood because of his connection with King Ghidorah.
• Redd flew back to the lair with Ehm, cut his palm, and held the bleeding wound before the dragon’s snout.

Redd discovered that his blood had cured Ehm’s curse, restoring the dragon to health. As he fed the constantly hungry King Ghidorah, he realized their food supplies would last only two days.

• Redd put his bleeding hand into Ehm’s mouth and waited to see whether his blood would affect the dragon’s curse.
• After half an hour, Redd checked Ehm’s status and found that “Cursed” had changed to “Healthy.”
• Redd examined Ehm and saw that the growths on his skin had vanished and his scales had regained their healthy sheen.
• King Ghidorah tugged at Redd’s hair for food, so Redd fed him specially made jerky.
• Redd moved most of the Dragonpit’s food into the system space and saw that the remaining supplies would last two days at most.
• Redd approached King Ghidorah and gently poked his round belly.

Redd grew more comfortable with the newly hatched King Ghidorah, which settled on his head and fell asleep. As sunset approached, he tested the strength King Ghidorah’s power had given him and began considering what he might be capable of in the future.

• Redd let King Ghidorah playfully bite his hand, then held it in his palm as it settled down.
• King Ghidorah flew onto Redd’s head, rested its three heads against his forehead, and fell asleep.
• Redd considered visiting Old Dragon the next day to see if his blood could lift its curse or help him tame it.
• With night approaching, Redd picked up a heavy shield and practice sword and discovered he could handle both far more easily than before.
• Redd marveled at King Ghidorah’s strength and wondered whether he might eventually gain power comparable to Superman.

Redd flew Ehm to the volcanic lair to visit the old red dragon, bringing it a Sandworm as a gift. The old dragon accepted the food without hostility, while Ehm and King Ghidorah joined the feast.

• Redd set out with Ehm for the old dragon’s lair and killed a Sandworm along the way.
• Ehm announced their arrival by blasting Dragonfire at the lair, where the old dragon answered with crimson flames.
• Redd placed the Sandworm corpse at the entrance as a gift for the old dragon.
• The old red dragon emerged and began eating the Sandworm, while Ehm and King Ghidorah joined in.
• Redd watched nervously as the old dragon glanced at King Ghidorah without showing hostility, then returned to its meal.
