Raki is known to humans as the "Abyss Dragon".

She didn't remember when she was born or how many years she lived.

The long-lived race has always had a very vague concept of time.

The only occasional fragment that can be recalled is the endless struggle with humans.

That's right...... Human beings have always been their enemies.

In fact, fighting was not her intention. But when he came to his senses, the human army was always lined up in front of him, and every warrior's face was full of fear and hatred.

You must know that as a dragon, Laqi stands at the apex of the biological world, and no matter what kind of magical beast he is, under the pressure of the dragon, he will only roll up his tail and retreat.

Human beings, on the other hand, can use their spirit to overcome coercion and show their fangs of resistance.

They are very weak, so weak that they will die if they blow a breath. But despite this, the weak humans did not hesitate to wave their thin halberds at themselves.

Rachi's power is overwhelming, she can whip up a hurricane with just a flap of her wings, freeze everything with a breath, and snap her claws to tear the sky apart.

But humanity is indomitable, no matter how many of its fellow human beings sacrifice. They are just brave and tirelessly attacking themselves.

Raqi was tired of such pointless struggles.

She really couldn't understand the intentions and motives of human beings, why could they launch a war to their own death against an opponent who had no chance of winning at all?

To this end, Raki tried to convey her will to humans.

-- I have no intention of fighting you.

It has to be said that this was an immediate move.

Humanity immediately ceased to challenge itself without any scheming. Although they did not immediately put away their hostility, they gathered a large army from afar, formed an encirclement, and monitored Raqi day and night.

Ratchee didn't take this to heart, because in her opinion, it was nothing more than a group of weak ants around her.

Of course, she does not deliberately break up the ant colony, but sleeps leisurely in her nest.

Over time, the humans were probably convinced that Raqi was harmless, and they unraveled the battle of the army, and even began to worship the "Abyschi Dragon" as if it were a god.

For such an inexplicable human behavior, Raqi still can't understand it, but she is not disgusted. Because it's so much better than the endless fighting.

Therefore, in order to be able to maintain this mutual tranquility and peace, Raqi will occasionally listen to the wishes of humans and grant them. After all, magic like climate control is simply a matter of effort for dragons.

The lonely dragon seems to have ceased to be lonely, and the embodiment of calamity has been transformed into a blessed spirit animal. This gave Raki the illusion that she could always live in harmony with humans. In her eyes, the originally weak but belligerent troublesome race has slowly become cute.

In the days of being revered and fulfilling human desires, Raghi finds a sense of fulfillment and fulfillment. And in order to be able to experience these joyful emotions more deeply and more, she became more active in meeting the various demands of human beings.

And at this moment, human aspirations began to deteriorate, becoming more and more outrageous and bizarre. It even included some persecution against one's own kind.

Rathi couldn't understand the so-called state and politics, and she didn't think much about it, she just faithfully, simply, and to the best of her ability.

It didn't take long...... At least in Rachi's opinion, it was not too long, and the peaceful days of living in harmony with humans came to an end.

Strange humans from afar, their armies, shouting slogans that Raghi did not understand, attacked. The humans also put on the faces of fear and hatred that Ratchei was familiar with, and once again brought the spark of struggle to their side.

In Ratchi's eyes, this only means - human ...... betrayed himself.

It is because I have tasted the joy of peace and happiness and because I have experienced the satisfaction of being believed and worshipped. The violent drop when the dream was shattered was what made Raghi feel extremely distressed, leaving an endless sense of sorrow and loss in her heart.

This is followed by "sadness" and "anger". It was also the first time that Raqi understood the torment of "sadness" and "anger".

In order to vent the inexplicable sorrow in her heart, Raghi went crazy...... She fluttered her wings and left the nest, freezing all the human cities that appeared in her sight into a desolate ice field.

After that, there was a long struggle between Raghi and humans, during which humans became stronger and stronger.

Not only have they learned all kinds of magic, but even the weapons in their hands have not known when they can stab their own sturdy dragon scales.

Not only that, but there are some powerful warriors who can compete with the dragons head-on.

Finally, Raki was defeated by the humans, and she was sealed in the gap between the dimensional called the "Illusory World" by the "Holy Sword" forged by the humans.

At the same time, this also means that the struggle between the Qingyuan Dragon and humans has finally come to an end.

For this result, Raki was satisfied. Until the end, she still couldn't read the human race, and she didn't know why she had been betrayed.

During the long days of being sealed in the "Illusory World", Ratchet fell into a long sleep. And the dream was too long and too far away, and she forgot everything that had happened between her and humans.

Until one day...... When Raki came to her senses again, she was surprised to find that she had left the "Illusory Realm" and returned to the "Present Realm".

At the same time, in front of her, an interesting human being who has never been seen before appears - Alice.

Alice is a human girl, but she is different.

First of all, the eight-year-old child, in that thin body, made Raqi feel a powerful force comparable to herself.

It's rare for a human being to be so powerful, but that's not what makes Ratchee feel special.

What makes Alice different is that she is not afraid of herself. The girl stared into her gaze, unable to find the familiar fear and hatred. In its place, there is love and longing......

Even if you empty your thousands of years of memories, you can't find an experience that humans call "handsome" or praised as "beautiful", and Alice is an incomparably new and comfortable existence for Lachi.

The relationship with Alice is completely different from the years of peace with humans in Lachi's distant memory.

Alice never worships herself as a god, never shows a look of fear, and never makes all kinds of wishes. She just snuggled up to her happily and gushed wonderful stories for herself.

Alice's story - it's a story between dragons and humans, and there are so many imaginary dragons in all kinds of strange worlds. But the main axis of the story is surprisingly consistent: the story of a dragon who incarnates a humanoid and falls in love with a human.

For what humans call love and marriage, Laqi only has knowledge, but has never experienced it personally. In her original conception, it was at best knowledge of the unique human system of reproduction.

However, the love described by Alice goes far beyond the scope of biological reproduction, which makes Ratchey can't help but be moved by it.

Love, attachment, closeness, and greed...... Alice's story is full of feelings that Ratchey has never experienced, and she has a deep understanding of what love is. At the same time, it also allowed Raki to find a goal that she had not thought of for thousands of years.

Raki wants to be like the dragons in the story, transform into human form and fall in love.

For Raghi, the human she loves is undoubtedly a girl named Alice. I want to be with her forever and feel the touch of her skin......

Immersed in such a daily longing, Ratchei finally transforms into human form one day, becoming like the "dragon lady" depicted in Alice's story.

I was finally able to cuddle my favorite Alice into my arms and feel her body temperature and smell. However, unfortunately, according to the common sense in the story, it seems that he and Alice cannot become lovers.

The relationship between lovers has strict limitations. But despite this, Ratchee still wants to be with Alice and live in her home, if not as lovers, then as a "pet".

At this time, Alice's family, who is very similar to Alice, and her sister, who is also cute and cheerful, shows the way for Lachi.

――Sister Lachi~~ As long as you marry your father and become our "mother", it's okay~~ If you become a member of the lord's mansion, you can not only live in our house, but even use Sister Alice as a pillow at night~~?

And Alice's top human warrior, the maid Hilda, also added that love is a "war", which requires an active offensive and "strength" to "conquer" the opponent.

In this way, Ratchei finally understood that in order to be with Alice, she had only one opponent to conquer - a man named Lutga Crusnell.

Without further ado, Ratchee immediately flew away from Alice's hometown, inquiring about the humans along the way, looking for the man's whereabouts...... But there are so many human beings that her 'husband-finding path' has not progressed at all. But Ratchee was not discouraged, and for the long-lived dragons, she was not anxious about the passage of time.

In her free time, Ratchee began to hone her "human" precision, carefully separating the dragon's magic from her body, and making her body closer to a real human.

With the progress of "humanization", Rachi's power continues to weaken. After a period of trying, now Rachi's body is no different from that of a human woman, and the dragon magic she excreted from her body has condensed into a brilliant crystal.

Even though she was vulnerable because of this, Ratchee didn't worry too much about it. Because as long as the crystals of magic are kept close to her, even if she maintains a fragile human body, Raki can still drive the power of being a "Abyss Dragon".

The proof is that with a gentle swing of her fists and kicks, she easily killed the demonic beasts that had cornered more than a dozen human warriors.

As Alice said, she is in human form, possessing extraordinary beauty and being able to easily form friendly relationships with humans.

However, Raghi, who is not deeply involved in the world, has made a fatal mistake - never to be in a stranger's heart, because unlike the dragons, there are countless humans who will lie and even betray without changing their colors.

Rathi didn't expect that she would be betrayed by the humans she had saved. The crystals of their magic were stolen, and they were restrained and brutally treated along the way, then they were transported to a human city, locked up in a dark room, and finally dragged to the glorious halls.

Her cloak, made of dragon scales and magic, was torn off, and she was forced to change into an outfit that couldn't hide her skin at all.

The humans who betrayed themselves, and the humans above the halls today. They all reached out their fiery palms, touching and rubbing the skin everywhere in their bodies.

It's also a human touch, but it's the opposite of Alice's hug, and it brings only great humiliation and disgust to Raghi.

These creatures, which they could kill with a light breath, looked at them with no more awe and fear, but only fanatical greed and impulse. Even if Laki struggled, her current body could not resist the overwhelming power of the men.

It was only then that Raki seemed to understand the true reason why humans had feared themselves long ago—because for the "Abyss Dragon" was an irresistible symbol of violence for humans.

Rathi couldn't imagine what she would do next with these lowly humans.

She could not comprehend human desires and the meaning of these acts.

Only her keen sense of smell was telling her that the air was filled with an increasingly thick stench peculiar to the heat of male animals.

This reminds Ratchei of a bleak character in one of Alice's stories.

It was a young, young dragon captured by a slave trader who did not yet have any power. She was tragically abused, lewdly trained, and finally reduced to a plaything for the comfort of the aristocracy...... Although after this, the male protagonist appeared on the stage and saved her from hell.

- My ...... How did you end up here......

What Raki is experiencing now is exactly the same as described in the story, the self-esteem and power of the Monarch's Creature Apex are now gone.

Feelings of powerlessness, anxiety, fear, shame, overwhelmed......

These are emotions that Ratchei has never experienced, and only as a weak human woman, they are coming to her like a raging wave.

That's when ...... A violent blast of fire shattered the space that made Ratchet desperate.
