《Reverse Scale: Draconic Rebirth》Chapter 2: Wolfs and Lizards
Advertisement
I haven't even figured out how to use skills, yet I am thrown right into combat.
Oh god!
I duck down under the attacking wolf and roll to the side. The wolf snarls at me as I get up.
["YOU STUPID FUCK! I AM JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE!"]
I can barely keep up with the wolf's speed. Whenever I blink, I am in danger of dying.
The wolf snaps at me, but I somehow manage to dodge, but after a short extent, it manages to maul my arm with its huge fangs.
DANG, IT HURTS SO MUCH!
The pain residing in my head slowly turns into anger. I feel my blood dripping down my left arm. The rage dwells up even more as the wolf tries to rip off my flesh. Suddenly the skin on my arm turns black and scaly. The maw of the wolf has forcibly opened by the hard exterior of my arm, and its canines break.
This intense rage also fills my other hand and turns it into a black claw.
["YOU BASTARD!!!"]
With hatred-filled eyes, I smash my right fist against the head of the wolf. With a splattering sound, the wolf's head has been split open. I pully my red hand out of his brain mass and wipe the leftovers off on its fur. It seems like I just mastered my "Draconic Scales" -skill.
Oh, I am currently naked, so let's just use the fur to cover myself!
I extend my claws and begin cutting off the wolf's fur and cover myself. Since I am level I, this wolf shouldn't be high leveled, so I'd better not meet one.
Oh, right, I forgot to mention. My exp bar is almost filled, so this wolf gave me a lot of exp!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ren continued to venture through the vast and lush plains of Ashor and defeated a multitude of wolves, which eventually granted him a level up. On his wolf-hunts, Ren also learned to control his other skills. At first, he had no problem with food since he ate the meat of the wolves or gathered fruits from trees, but eventually, there were no more wolves to hunt, and only fruits couldn't still his hunger.

After few days of near-starvation, Ren spotted a town on the horizon.
He dragged his tired and exhausted body to the border of the town, where he collapsed.
One of the guards spotted him while on patrol and brought him inside.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Man... I whited out again. Seems like my habit of whiting out continues even in this world...
[???: "Jill, you can't just bring a human into our village!"]
A man with a raspy voice. He seems like he's some elder or something.
[Jill?: "But Elder Mu, He was unconscious right outside the village wall, and besides, I don't feel the presence of a human from him! His presence resembles that of a dragon a lot more!"]
A pleasant smooth voice, probably a young woman.
[Mu: "Ah, He's woken up!"]
I open my eyes, and there they are. Lizardmen. Blue scales covering them. Instead of hair, they have majestic feather crowns, and their clothes look tribal.
[Jill: "Hey, do you remember anything? You looked pretty bad."]
Yep, you can definitely tell that she's a female. Her features are a lot slimmer and feminine.
[Huh?! Oh, that's right. I walked for days in search of people. But I couldn't find any, and then I found this village."]
Dude... what shampoo do you use for your feather?! Every model agency would hire this buff-looking lizard for his majestic feather crown.
[ Mu: "But what does a human so far into the plains?"]
Oh yeah! I according to this game interface, I am not a human anymore...
["I am no human though..."]
[Jill: "See? I told you so!"]
[Mu: "I see... Then I must apologize. My name Is Mu. The elder of this village. And this is Jill, one of our hunters."]
["Nice to meet you, the name's Ren."]

[Mu: "But still, it's very impressive for any kind of being to survive out here in your... current state..."]
["Oh, well... I just ate the wolves."]
[Jill: "So that's why we've spotted so few of them lately..."]
Really? To believe I could decimate an entire wolf population...
[Mu: "So then, if you aren't human, what race are you?"]
["I'm not entirely sure of that either, but if you can believe this status window, I should be a dragon..."]
[Jill: "But Elder, the only dragon in this region was the Dragon Emperor, but I heard he's been slain!"]
[Mu: "Yes, I also heard that Fafnir was slain... Peculiar, very peculiar..."]
["Oh, if that's the case... then this Fenrir might be my parent..."]
[Mu: "Okay... wait... WHAT!!!"]
["Yeah, next to my name, it says *son of Fanfnir* and it is true that I woke up next to a huge dragon-corpse."]
The elder began a maddening laugh which in retrospect is kind of understandable.
[Mu: "GUAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! To think I would meet the descendant of one of the most powerful beings to ever walk on Ashor!
Ren, please feel at home in this village. It would be my honor."
["Ehh? Alright... I'll take you up on that offer!"]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And so Ren spent a few weeks at the village of the Lizardmen before a messenger would arrive...

The Lost Archon
One early spring afternoon, sixteen-year-old Reid is going for a walk when he finds a magical occurrence taking him to another world. A world where he is considered an impossible mage - and where he becomes ridiculously powerful quickly. Though he's happy for the adventures he can go on and the friends he makes, Reid also wants to find out how he got there and why, and if there's a way to return home to his parents. Reid's priorities in this new world are learning magic, going on a few adventures, dealing with his feelings for the cute wolfkin Terrence Windfang, and seek an audience with the gods. All but one of them, he finds, is significantly easier than he expected. This is a participant in the [April 2022 Royal Road Writathon Challenge]. The story is also concluded as of 4/26/2022. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP guy doing OP guy things. There will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure. 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story. Ever. 5) This story will not contain sexual content as it will end after Book 1. As such, Reid and his future boyfriend will never reach 18+ years of age in-story, so they will never have sex in the story. There will also be no harem in this story. 6) This is a part of the Royal Road April 2022 Writathon Challenge. 7) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
