Guarding The Final Boss

 "Hey, Orcette. Have you ever seen an NPC like that appear on the balcony of a castle like they're the king of the place?"  "No, not unless it was a betrayal scene or a dis-"  She didn't finish the Sentence, cut off by a single clap of Greeter's hands that shook the courtyard.  "Apologies, but you came here to play the game, so we'll keep this brief..." The Greeter who welcomed Jonah trailed off and looked to his female counterpart.  "...welcome to your new life, we apologise but this is less of a reincarnation simulator and more of an actual reincarnation..."  "...Indeed, you will find it quite impossible to leave here I'm afraid. However, we understand that some of you may not appreciate that finality and may want to change that..."  "...Not that we understand the sentiment, but we will respect it and if any of you can defeat the final boss then we will send you all back."  Jonah stared in stunned silence, a phantom smile spreading across his face as he remembered joking to himself about this exact eventuality. ---- Would it really be that bad to get stuck in a game? Is it as simple as Yes or No? To some people this world holds no appeal, to some it holds everything they care about. If people had a choice, it would be easy, but what if it happened and was all or nothing? If either everyone returns or everyone stays and people are having to fight for the future they want, which side is in the right? When Jonah is dragged into that very situation, he is forced to decide between the new world he is pulled into, the old world he was pulled from and the sacrifices either choice would mean.

Ascending as a Draconic Overlord

The world runs on a lie. Kingdoms soar on magitech skyships, cities glow with runic light, and an age of wonders is built on a single, brutal truth: every spark of power is stolen from the hearts of chained dragons. Kael Osborn, a lowborn apprentice with strange, unclassifiable mana veins, should have died in the gutter. Instead, he does the impossible, he hears a dragon’s voice in the dark. Not its pain, but its will. And unlike the elite who drain dragons to ascend, he forms a bond. Marked as an anomaly and hunted across empires, Kael is thrust into the world’s most dangerous proving ground: Lorri’s Arch Academy. Here, your destiny is written at birth in the color of your mana veins. Silver and Purple veins reign supreme, and talent is measured by how well you exploit the dying gods beneath the cities. Surrounded by prodigies like the half-elf genius Lisa Tempest and nobles born with power in their blood, Kael is an outsider with a secret that breaks all their rules. While they learn to tighten the dragons’ chains, he is learning how to break them. But the system does not give up its lies lightly. Rival students, political schemes, and the ever-watching eyes of the Empire itself want to either control him or erase him. As ancient dragons stir in their agony and the magic that fuels the world begins to fracture, Kael must decide: Destroy the civilization built on suffering, or rise above it. Not as a tyrant. Not as a hero. But as the first true Dragonlord in a thousand years The Draconic Overlord. Dragons shall he command, gods will tremble at his name and empires will bow before him, he shall become a existence that will shake the heavens and tremble the earth, but there is more to him than what meets the eyes.
