Ivanoda is the name of this world.

To the north of it, there is an ancient mountain field.

Lush forests grow in this majestic land, and countless boulder mountains meander and zig to the end of the distant sky.

There is almost no civilization here, but it has an unimaginable number of magical beasts anywhere else, and you can see huge populations of flying magical beasts patrolling the sky almost every day, and there are even more magical beasts in the jungle.

It's a paradise for these imbeciles.

The lack of control hides deadly dangers, but it also preserves a variety of relics and treasures, making it a "place where death and treasure coexist" in the eyes of adventurers and poets.

They go crazy about it, and even though most of them never come out again, there are still a large number of adventure groups that go deep into it every day.

It's really a comprehensible behavior.

......

In the mountains.

Hidden by the trees, there is a cave.

There is no sunlight here all year round.

"Click"

At this time, this region, which has been silent since ancient times, suddenly sounded a discordant voice.

It seems like something is shattering.

"Click"

After a thin cracking sound—

"Boom"

Sounds like a lot of crumbling.

The sound of shattering came to an abrupt end, and a pair of small, bright yellow eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Its owner looked around, his pupils full of curiosity.

On his head, there seemed to be two small horns.

The place was dark, the gray-black walls were rough, and there was a large pile of huge, gray-white piles in front of it.

In addition to this, beside him, there were several non-round objects that seemed to be about the same size as him.

Never seen before, in the little one's previous memory, there was only a hard wall around him, firmly restricting movement.

He felt uncomfortable holding it inside, so he tried his best to break through a small hole in the wall, and finally managed to poke his head out.

Then I saw this strange place.

Where is this?

Before he could think about it, he felt something stuff into his brain, causing a tingling pain.

The pain wasn't unbearable, it was just an influx of information that threw his mind into an uncontrollable mess.

The little one is still very ignorant, but that doesn't stop him from hating it.

But when all kinds of knowledge appeared in his memory, the little guy was stunned for a moment, and the boredom disappeared completely.

He suddenly understood a lot of things.

Including where you are, what you have just done, and who you are.

"Nona Tanatos"

The little one said his name out loud, and it sounded a little harsh.

I'm a newborn little black dragon.

My name is Nona, a member of the Tanatos family.

The place where he is now should be the nest of his parents.

Gray are the bones.

And these three eggs, which are about the same size as themselves, are their younger brothers and sisters.

After the little black dragon sorted out the messy inheritance in his mind, he was a little excited, but more confused.

What's next?

Nona blinked.

I'm so hungry.

To eat.

The hole that had just been broken was small enough for him to crawl out, and he could barely stick his head out of the dragon egg.

Now what he shows is just a small head, which looks simple.

He lowered his head and bit down on the edge of the hole, which tasted surprisingly good, which made the little black dragon's eyes light up.

When the hole was enlarged enough to crawl out, he refused to leave, greedily grabbing the edge of the hole with his little paws, ready to break the eggshell.

But he forgot that he was still in this "bowl".

The eggshell was not heavy, but as soon as he used his strength, he immediately fell crookedly and threw the little black dragon inside.

Nona flipped to the ground, but didn't care.

He got up again, shook his body, and stretched out his young wings, feeling more comfortable than ever, after all, the days of huddled in eggshells were not easy.

"Click"

In a few moments, the entire eggshell was wiped out, leaving no trace.

Nona was only half-full.

So he squatted down very obediently.

After a short while, the young black dragon noticed that something seemed to be wrong.

Why am I staying here, not looking for something to eat?

Oh, and I'm waiting for my parents to bring the food back......

Wait a minute

What about my parents?

Shouldn't adult dragons stay in the nest when baby dragons are born**?

Although he was very confused, he still chose to stay where he was and wait.

Nona looked around, but the exact same environment made him feel a little creepy.

There was no breath of any living creatures in the cave, and even the younger siblings who were supposed to be born together around them were motionless at the moment, and everything was dead silent.

This made Nona feel a little uncomfortable, and he got up and walked around the hole ** restlessly, his little tail flicking restlessly on the ground.

The new man was not as weak as he imagined, but full of energy.

It's so quiet, eerily quiet.

The little black dragon looked up at the entrance of the cave, and thick purple-green vines tightly sealed the place, preventing outsiders from entering, and at the same time causing the place to be extremely dark.

Looking back, his younger siblings still haven't broken their shells.

Wait.

After another long wait, Nona's inner irritability and uneasiness had reached the extreme.

He desperately wanted to find a creature to communicate with, and even if he was still hungry, he was content to be able to talk.

The young dragon ran back to its birthplace, where the three eggs remained unmoved, as if they were dead.

Nona slapped it directly with one paw.

Just to wake up his lazy bedmate? He didn't think much of it.

The eggs shattered to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the dragon egg that had been held open with great effort before was actually smashed like this.

It's just the rest of this...... But it was just a shattered shell in one place, as if there was nothing in it.

Empty eggs?

Nona was stunned, he knew that there might be dead eggs in dragon eggs, and there might be dragon beasts without intelligence, but he really hadn't heard of empty eggs.

What's going on?

His nervousness did not improve, but intensified, and a terrible thought slowly emerged from his mind.

The young dragon shuddered, and randomly slapped its own claws, and the other egg in front of him also shattered and shattered.

Empty.

Nona's mind was a mess.

And one more, in the back.

The black dragon turned around and struck hard, the fragile eggshell shattering in response, leaving behind a blanket of air.

He stared at the shattered shells all over the ground, and the cave was as silent as death.

Damn it!

Nona's panic and anxiety were almost uncontrollable.

Although he didn't know what caused it, he could intuitively feel a huge panic.

Nona struggled to keep himself under control, he hated yelling.

At this time, the little guy seemed to suddenly think of something, and he was shocked.

He remembered that there was more to the cave than just a few lifeless dragon eggs......

The head with black scales turned back, and the black dragon's bright yellow eyes stared at the huge gray-white skeleton in front of him.

This one...... Also?

The terrifying thoughts finally came to the surface at this moment.

Nona felt that at the moment, her head was not enough.

......

The little guy naturally understood what he was going through, and his big clear eyes were full of despair at the moment.

Without his peers and parents, it was hard for him to imagine how he would have survived.

The young black dragon is stuck in the dark cavern, and he has almost lost the desire to survive, and he is slowly being taken over by hunger.

Eventually, his body moved mechanically, and after quietly eating all the eggshells, he was full.

Nona lay on the ground, but couldn't sleep at all.

How is he going to live......

If it really follows the lineage, he feels that he may not have experienced the so-called "glory of the dragon", and he is afraid that he will have to die honorably first.

A young dragon, the highest combat power is only an adult orc warrior, maybe even lower.

The little black dragon only felt as if the whole world was overshadowed.

He couldn't have grown into an ancient dragon in three days.

In the end, in this complex emotional interweaving of hesitation, despair, panic, and constant struggle, the little guy still couldn't withstand his physical exhaustion and fell asleep at an unknown point in time.

Perhaps, this is all there is to his life?

However, it is not.
