THE EGG OF THE LAST GOD
Darkness.
Silence.
Weightlessness.
Mack floated in an endless void, unable to move, unable to breathe until a sudden flash of memory returned.
A vending machine…
A coin…
A stupid push…
Crush.
He should have been dead.
But instead
Crack…
A thin line of light cut across the darkness around him.
Then another.
And another.
Suddenly, a cold voice rang inside his mind:
DRAGON GOD SYSTEM INITIALIZING
Reincarnating Host Soul
Species Selected Primordial Dragon Egg
Bloodline: Supreme Ancestral Dragon God
Unique Skill: Harem Blessing All who develop affection toward Host gain amplified growth and loyalty
Status: Hatching.
The shell around him trembled.
Light seeped through.
Mack pushed instinctively
CRACK!
The egg exploded.
Light blinded him as he tumbled out onto warm soil. Ancient trees towered above him; glowing butterflies drifted through the air; mana saturated every breath.
He looked down at his body.
Scales.
Golden.
Radiant.
Perfect.
Wings folded at his sides.
Claws shimmered with divine energy.
He wasn't human anymore.
He was a dragon.
A newborn.
But not weak.
His presence distorted the air itself.
Before he could even roar for the first time.
A feminine gasp came from above.
Mack lifted his tiny dragon head.
Standing before him was a woman so breathtaking he forgot he'd hatched.
Long silver hair, eyes glowing like twin moons, a divine aura around her. A silk dress flowed around her body as she stepped closer, stunned.
Her voice trembled.
"You… You're the last Primordial Dragon…
Mack tilted his head.
She stepped closer, kneeling in awe.
"I am Luna, Moon Goddess of the Silver Court," she whispered. "And you are… incredibly adorable."
A notification chimed.
Harem Member Detected: Luna Moon Goddess
Affection: 73% 'Captivated'.
Mack blinked.
Already I just hatched…
Luna slowly reached out, hesitating, then gently touched his golden snout. The divine contact sent warmth through his tiny dragon body.
"You're warm…" she whispered, cheeks turning pink. "You're… unbelievably cute.
He tried to roar proudly.
It came out as a squeak.
Luna gasped.
Then hugged him.
Not a gentle hug.
A crush your dragon ribs kind of hug.
"You're mine I mean I will protect you! Yes! Protect! That's what I meant!"
The System chimed again:
Affection increased: 73% to 81%
Skill Activated: Harem Aura Increase Luna's power by 200%.
Luna shuddered as divine energy surged through her.
"What… what is this feeling she gasped, looking at him with wide, trembling eyes. "You're making me stronger just by existing?!"
Mack puffed his chest out.
He liked this System.
A LOT.
But the moment was broken when the ground trembled.
Luna stood abruptly.
Her face darkened.
They're coming."
The trees shook violently as dozens no, hundreds of forest monsters rushed toward the aura of Mack's newborn divinity.
Luna grabbed him protectively, eyes sharp.
"They want to eat you because of your power."
Mack growled in his tiny adorable newborn way.
The System displayed a red warning:
MAIN QUEST ISSUED
Survive 24 Hours
Reward: Evolution Skill 'Devour'
Failure: Death
Mack didn't want to die again.
Especially not as a baby dragon in the arms of a blushing goddess.
He wiggled free of Luna's hold, landed on the ground, and faced the incoming swarm.
Luna panicked.
"Mack.
But something primal awakened inside him.
A heat in his chest.
Power in his blood.
A spark
Then FIRE.
A beam of golden flame erupted from his tiny mouth, tearing across the forest.
Everything in its path evaporated.
Trees.
Monsters.
Stone.
The air itself rippled.
Luna stared, jaw hanging open.
"What… What ARE you?!"
The System rained notifications:
Level Up × 15
Skill Gained: Dragon Rage.
Passive: Divine Scales 90% damage reduction.
Harem Aura Strength Boosted.
Luna trembled, cheeks bright red, voice breathless.
"He's… terrifying and cute… and terrifying.
Mack swayed on his feet and collapsed
Right into Luna's arms.
The goddess caught him, holding him against her chest.
"You did well my little dragon," she whispered. "Rest. I will guard you."
Warmth enveloped him as the Moon Goddess held him close, stroking his scales.
And thus, the strongest creature in existence…
Fell asleep for the first time.
Protected by the first member of his destined harem.
