‘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?

Qingyun found herself having traveled back in time to ancient days, with a splitting headache. She hadn't activated any ancient survival skills!She couldn't compose poetry or engage in literary exchanges.Sewing and embroidery? No clue.Pleasing men? Even worse.Farming or doing business? Clueless.With no other options, she had to choose a profession that required none of the above skills....Years later, those who once served her, now ministers and generals, listened as Qingyun, who had ascended to the throne as the empress, said: 'You might not believe it, but I never intended to be the empress.'The ministers and generals replied, 'That's right, that's right. Everything you say is correct. It was us who forced you into this position.'
