Veldora looked up at the clouds as a soft drizzle began to fall. Rain washed over his face, and for the first time in either soul's memory… he smiled—not out of pride or foolishness, but from clarity.
Due to his soul now being merged with two different ones—one of them a dragon—he found it difficult to adapt to this body.
Some time later, after finally adjusting to his new form, Veldora walked to a nearby lake to see his reflection. His humanoid appearance looked almost exactly like Veldora from the anime, but something felt off. He was completely naked—he had no clothes.
Then it clicked in his mind: other True Dragons, Primordials, or immortals usually create their clothes using their magicules. That way, if they die and later revive themselves, their clothes would automatically remanifest with them. But Veldora had never worn clothes in his dragon form, so naturally, in this humanoid form, he had none either.
Realizing this, Veldora created clothes using his magicules and wore them. Soon after, he heard a voice:
" Skill [Creation] acquired"
(Allows the user to create any basic object using magicules, as long as they understand its use and structure.)
After hearing the Voice of the World, the information about this new skill and others automatically appeared in Veldora's mind. The influx of knowledge gave him a slight headache.
He then activated his Unique Skill [Investigator] to examine his own status and abilities.

After seeing these new skills, Veldora wanted to try them out. Driven by curiosity and his lingering reckless nature and fighting instinct from his original self, he used the skill Investigator across the entire Jura Forest to search for any strong beings.
Using Investigator, Veldora sensed many S-rank and A-rank mindless monsters roaming the forest—creatures born from dense concentrations of magicules. This discovery excited him; the thrill of battle surged within him once more.
Without hesitation, Veldora flew out and began eliminating every S-rank and A-rank monster he could find. But to his disappointment, every single one of them was destroyed with a single attack—even those he hadn't meant to kill. His jaw dropped in disbelief at his overwhelming power.
Disheartened, Veldora began sifting through his old memories and soon remembered an old friend—Dagruel.
Back in the day, Veldora and Dagruel would often spar whenever they had free time. Their last match, 200 years ago, had ended in a draw. With renewed excitement, Veldora took off in his humanoid form, flying toward the Barren Lands in the westernmost part of the central continent—Dagruel's territory.

Meanwhile, in a distant land, a beautiful young woman with silver hair sat gracefully on a chair, sipping tea in peace. She had two different-colored eyes and wore a sleek black dress. She didn't appear to be older than 18, yet her aura radiated authority.
Suddenly, a blond-haired man appeared in a hurry—it was Roy Valentin, one of her most trusted subordinates.
Roy: "Lady Luminous… the Storm Dragon Veldora has reappeared," he said calmly.
At his words, Luminous crushed the teacup in her hand, her expression turning furious.
Luminous: "That overgrown lizard has finally shown himself again. I won't forgive him… not after what he did to Night Rose City," she said in an irritated tone.
Roy: "Not only has he reappeared, Lady Luminous—he now has a humanoid form. And after reappearing, he went on a rampage in the Jura Forest, killing every monster born from those magicules."
Luminous: "Oh? That overgrown lizard has a humanoid form now?"
