《Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!》Chapter 8: Every Part of a Dragon's Body Is a Piece of Treasure

Agatha had returned with a raw camel this time.
The camel had died rather pitifully. It was scared to death by Agatha.
Max looked at the raw camel meat in front of him and his mother's serious expression. He understood what it meant.
'This is a test.'
Max sighed.
It would be easy, no, effortless for Max to kill the camel with his fang and claws.
However, using his dragon breath was a whole different matter.
The amount of fear pumping through his veins was similar to students being notified of a pop quiz.
"Use your Lightning Breaths, my children."
Agatha was using a commanding tone.
Max could only brace himself and open his mouth. As he did so, electricity danced in his mouth and made crackling sounds.
Pfft—
In the end, Max had only spat out a weak electric current, one that was as weak as the fuse in a lighter.
Agatha turned her head away in disappointment.
However, upon recalling Max's strong physique, her opinion changed somewhat.
"You're up."
Agatha pushed the camel meat towards Mia. It was now Mia's turn to demonstrate her ability.
Fwoosh—
The moment Mia opened her mouth, a surge of electric current struck the camel's body.
The camel, which was already dead, twitched on the ground, as if it had been brought back to life.
An instant later, however, it started to burn.
"That's enough! Mia! Stop!"
Agatha's order did not work. Her sister could not control her dragon breath, and electricity continued to ravage the camel.
Not long after, the juicy camel meat had turned into a pile of charcoal.
'That's good cooking right there,' Max mentally spat.
He was certain that his mother would be enraged. When she stood up, she was seven to eight meters tall, which was practically the size of a four-story villa.
"You!"
Agatha spread her wings. As her periosteum stretched, static electricity flowed, and the crackling sound of electricity instantly filled the cave.

"This is your dinner, idiots!"
"You destroyed it. Now, go find your own food!"
Agatha turned around abruptly, and her thick tail rolled over.
Boom --
By the time Max had returned to his senses, he realized that he had been swept out of the cave.
"Cough cough..."
Even so, the electricity in his sister's mouth was still shining. After coughing violently for a few times, it finally stopped.
Then, his sister looked in the direction of the cave with tears in her eyes.
Max rolled his eyes.
'You crybaby! If anyone has the right to cry, it's definitely me!'
'I'm not the one who burned the camel meat!'
'I didn't do anything, and yet, I was still chased out of the cave.'
'Plus, we're supposed to be evil dragons! When we're in a bad mood, we'll raze countries to the ground! How can you cry over such a simple matter! Sister, are you a proper dragon or not?!'
"Let's go, sister. We should accept reality. Sooner or later, we have to learn how to survive on our own."
While he spoke, Max stretched out his claws and patted his sister's head twice.
Every time his sister made a mistake, Max would comfort her like this. She would always close her eyes and stretch out her neck. Moreover, her tail would also constantly rise and fall.
"I'm very weak."
His sister raised her head and stated.
Max thought for a moment. His sister was probably trying to say "I'm sorry." However, there was no such concept among the proud race of dragons.
"You're not weak."
Max glanced at his sister's stats panel again.
[ Breath: Lightning Breath ( Strength 15, Normal Red Dragon Hatchlings 5)]
Just as the system had stated, his sister's talent in magic was different from normal dragons. Heck, it was almost three times that of normal Red Dragon Hatchlings!

'I should check my stats again.'
Max opened his interface. As a result of the naps that he had taken, his attributes had increased a little.
[ True Name: Max Agatha Hill Alexander ]
[ Race: Red Dragon (Lawful Evil)]
[ Current Dragon Rank: Hatchling ]
[ Age: 1]
[ Maximum Lifespan: 12,000 (Ancient Dragon)]
[ Attack: 20 (Normal Red Dragon Hatchling 7)]
[ Defense: 10 (Normal Red Dragon Hatchling 5)]
[ Speed: 23 (Normal Red Dragon Hatchling 9)]
[ Strength: 19 (Normal Red Dragon Hatchling 5)]
[ Magic: Lightning Arrow (Strength 0)]
[ Abilities: Bite, Claw Strike, Stomp, Tail Swipe, ]
[ Breath: Lightning (Strength 3) , Strong Acid (strength 1)]
[ Remarks: Such powerful melee combat ability, and yet, such mediocre magical aptitude. Are you sure you're not a child of a Black Dragon? ]
"Sigh..."
Every time Max saw this panel, his heart would ache.
It seemed like all his luck had been spent on reincarnating into a pure dragon. When it came to magic, his talent was really mediocre.
The thought of fighting a strong magic-user in a Battle of Existence had become more tempting day by day.
'Should this continue any further, my ability to control magic would most likely stagnate. As a Red Dragon, this is simply an anomaly.'
Red Dragons did not like anomalies.
That was what Max thought. However, there was a creature with extremely high magic aptitude by his side, which was his sister.
However, according to the rules of the system, Max could only trigger a Battle of Existence when his life was threatened.
Max turned around to look at his sister. They were currently flying in the sky. His sister was flying with great difficulty due to the strong turbulence. She tilted her head and squinted her eyes, and it had taken great effort for her to keep up with Max.
'My life would be in danger if I were to pin my hopes on such a weak sister...'
Max shook his head, 'No, never mind. Now that I've been reborn as a dragon, she's my one and only sibling.'
What about his mother, Agatha, you might ask?
She was the type of dragon that believed in "fate" when raising her children.
It was for this reason that she swept both her children out of the cave and let them fend for themselves.
If they managed to return, it would mean that the Fates have yet to give up on them.
If they could not return, it would mean that their fate had come to an end.
'Sigh, the Evil Dragon God Tiamat should really consider changing the parenting ideology of the Chromatic Dragons.'
Despite being the apex predators of the continent, their population had remained small. There was definitely a reason behind this.
"My child, you're already half-a-month old. It's time for you to learn how to earn money to support your family."
'Who on earth would raise their child like that?'
The outside world was so dangerous. There were animals everywhere that could threaten baby dragons. Worse still, there were also ferocious adventurers.
'Adventurers...'
Although Max was only half-a-month old as a dragon, he had played as an adventurer several times within video games.
As such, he knew how greedy and dangerous adventurers could be.
In the eyes of adventurers, dragon hatchlings were flying money bags.
Dragon Tooth Sword, Dragon Tendon Bow, Dragon Eye Stone, Dragon Wing Coat, Dragon Whip..
Anything that was made out of dragons would have its value soar.
Since adult dragons were difficult targets to hunt, young dragons had instead become the favorite prey of adventurers.
In a way, hatching from their egg was the first major challenge for young dragons, and the second was to survive the threat of adventurers!

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated!

Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
