‘Is this shit actually happening to me?’That was Kael Carter’s first reaction when he saw a bunch of priests kowtowing in front of him, worshiping him as the ‘Hero.’For a good while, he actually thought it was just another one of his dreams, until reality hit him.It was real…He was actually summoned to a fantasy world where magic exists!A world of Beast Tamers!A world where Humans and Magic Beasts grow stronger together!A world Kael, as its supposed Hero, was meant to protect!His response?“Fuck no!”He might be brave in the comments section, but who the hell takes that seriously!?How was he supposed to protect an entire world when even opening a jar of pickles was like a life-or-death battle to him!?He was no Hero!And to prove it, he decided to place his hand on the ‘Orb of Resonance’ that was supposed to ‘confirm his identity as the Hero.’But then,[Ding!]He heard a sound.[Talent Awakened.][Talent Name: Dragon Genesis][Talent Rank: SSS Rank][Description:][Power to turn any beast with even the slightest trace of Dragon Blood in them into a full-grown Dragon.]‘What in the hell…?I—I can create Dragons…?’Kael couldn’t believe what he was seeing.In a world where Dragons were living Legends—creatures of unparalleled strength, wisdom, and power,In a world where entire Kingdoms tremble at the sight of just one Dragon.He could create… an army of them?

“Why didn’t you tell me?”“Tell you what, Richard? What would you have done?”“I don’t know. Apologized sooner? Bought you a burger to make up for it?”Her eyes lit up with fire, “You think what you did to me… you think a burger can make up for it?” her eyes twinkled like she was fighting tears. Did I hurt her that badly? I was just a foolish teenager.“Nita, I am sorry. I was young, I was stupid. I wish I could take it all back and tell you how I feel instead of being a constant jerk to gain your attention.”“How did you feel that would justify what you did to me?”I paused for a minute, finding the words. “I had a huge crush on you at the time. And I didn’t know how to express myself. I was full of myself, I was the school’s ladies' man and the one girl I had eyes for didn’t even care if I existed,” “And that justified what you did to me? Richard, you broke me. I can forgive you for ‘accidentally’ spilling your ice cream on me, or throwing my due assignment in the toilet, or the gum in my hair, or the glue in my chair but tell me how can I forgive you for what you did that night? Tell me!”“What night? Nita, what are you talking about?”“Remember when you asked me if I knew who sexually assaulted me?”I nodded, but what does that have to do with anything? The more we spoke, the more confused I became.“You did and I cannot believe that you would stand there and pretend like it didn’t happen!”Nita has spent years trying to forget the torment she endured at the hands of Richard.
