Chapter One – The Awakening
Jackie had been a big fan of dragons ever since she was little. Every time she saw artwork of different types—majestic, terrifying, beautiful—there was always a bubbling excitement in her chest, like something deep inside her wanted to be released.
She was happiest in places like this: a comic store filled with the energy of teenagers laughing and arguing over their favorite manga and comics. In the middle of it all stood Jackie—a girl who loved fantasy, Isekai, and anything magical. She often dreamed of being whisked away to another world.
"Dragons are amazing!" she squealed, jumping up and down with joy.
Little did she know... her life was about to change forever.

After leaving the store, Jackie headed toward a nearby restaurant. But before she could reach it, chaos erupted. People began screaming—running in every direction.
And then, pain.
A sharp, searing sting pierced her shoulder, causing her to cry out, "Aaaghh!!!"
She spun around, trying to see what had hit her, but her mind went blank.
What is that?!
Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed with a loud thump against the pavement. Her body suddenly felt weak, numb, like it was being torn apart from the inside. A painful, burning heat spread through her—like her skin was being pressed against hot coals.
She wanted to scream again, but no sound came out.
Her vision blurred. Then—darkness.
No sound. No light. No feeling.
Just a pitch-black void.

Jackie didn't know how long she was there, floating in silence.
Until—cold.
She felt cold air against her skin. Why is it cold?
Her hands twitched. Stiffly.
Her eyes fluttered open.
She was lying near what looked like the same store she had been walking toward before everything went dark. But now it looked old—ruined. Vines crawled across broken pavement. Cracks covered the buildings. Everything looked like it had been abandoned for years.
"What is this…?" she whispered.
As if on cue, deep groaning echoed from somewhere nearby.
She pushed herself up from the ground. As she moved, she felt her bones crack, shift. The sound was strange—but it didn't hurt. In fact... her body felt heavier now. Stronger.
Confused, she stumbled toward a dusty window.
What she saw in the reflection made her freeze.
She looked completely different.
