So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [29]

In his original world, there weren't monsters like Stonehide Lawachurls. If he had to compare, a Lawachurl in this world was probably on par with something like Earth Dragon Araba in his. But honestly, right now, he wasn't particularly afraid of Earth Dragon Araba anymore.

"And you're still that confident?" Paimon was very puzzled.

"Even though I haven't fought a Lawachurl, I have plenty of combat experience. I can give it a try," ...

"Everyone, be careful!" A gentle yet commanding voice called out from a distance. Two more beautiful young women were arriving.

They were a pair of sisters. The taller one, with a nimble and heroic demeanor, was Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. 

The smaller one, with twin pigtails, was Mondstadt's idol, Barbara also known in some circles as the "Curse-Breaking Deaconess"... Hmm, sounds like I just lear...

In this world, not even gods were truly immortal. So, whether it was Vennessa or the Seven Archons, none could defy the laws established by the [Heavenly Principles].

The background lore of this world did say: The Sustainer is dying, but the Creator has yet to arrive. No matter how strong the [Heavenly Principles] were, it seemed they needed to draw power from external sources, unable to be self-sufficient.

However, for El...

Clearly, Elliot recent battle with the Administrator had made the Queen Taratect misjudge Kumoko's actual strength! 

The Queen's connection to her daughter only provided a general sense of her power, not precise details. She must have thought Kumoko was the one fighting the Administrator, mistaking that immense power as Kumoko's own.

In the blink of an eye, the Queen Taratect shattered the barrier between the Lower and Middle ...

"Hey Drago… big guy, are you okay?!" The moment the spatial barrier dissolved, Kumoko rushed over to Elliot. Watching that heart-stopping battle from the sidelines had terrified her.

Elliot shook his head. "I'm fine." To be able to fight an Administrator to that extent, even in defeat, was an achievement in itself. 

But it also served as a stark warning: without god-slaying level skills, his own power was insignificant compa...

In an instant, fragments of fire and shattered rock flew everywhere, shredding the nearby volcanoes. The terrifying collision even created a fleeting energy black hole that completely pulverized all visible matter.

Watching this world-ending scene unfold, Kumoko was utterly dumbstruck.

The Earth Dragon was so strong! And that black-clothed man was also insanely strong! When they used their real power, it was truly heaven-and-earth ...

The space ahead shimmered like a dark abyss, and then, the upper half of a man's body emerged. He was entirely black, the color of pure ink. 

His form-fitting armor seemed to be one with his body. His face was also dark, his hair like night itself, and his eyes glowed like blood.

Even with Elliot and Kumoko's maxed-out Level 10 Appraisal, a single, chilling line of text popped up:

[Appraisal Failed]

So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [22]

And then, Elliot immediately cast [Tendo Bansho]!

A giant meteor crashed down, petrifying the Fire Dragon on the spot. Fire Dragons possessed a natural [Control Resistance] ability, which halved the duration of any crowd control effects. So, what would have been a six-second petrification on other creatures only lasted three seconds on Fire Dragon Rend.

Three seconds of petrification... what could you do with that?...

However, at this moment, they all turned their heads towards Elliot and Kumoko, letting out low hisses. Their eyes were pitch black, like bottomless dark holes. 

The Rock Dragonsaurs looked ferocious. They were about two meters long, with long, dragging tails and mouths full of jagged, terrifying fangs. Any normal person seeing them would probably wet their pants on the spot.

But Kumoko just chuckled and gave them a wave. "Yo,...

This was an evolution path normal spiders didn't have. Similar to Elliot's [Rex Lapis Dragon Emperor], it was unique to Kumoko, likely requiring special conditions to unlock. 

Evolving into [Zoa Ele] (Death Scythe) would allow Kumoko to maintain her small size while gaining powerful combat and stealth abilities. Like a nighttime assassin, capable of taking out targets from afar.

As for [Poison Taratect], that path mainly focus...

The Middle Stratum environment was brutal. Lava flowed everywhere. In this world, falling into lava dealt massive damage, potentially hundreds of points per tick. Without strong heat resistance, even an Earth Dragon would be cooked alive if they fell in.

The ground here was scorching hot, and the further in they went, the higher the temperature climbed. Even Elliot, whose feet were covered in thick rock, could feel the heat radiating upw...

So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [18]

Elliot wanted to test just how much burst damage his evolved form could dish out instantly. Basically, calculate his DPS (Damage Per Second) the total damage dealt divided by the time it took. 

In other games, you'd usually test this on a slow monster with high HP and low defense. Elliot hadn't found a perfect test dummy yet, so this slow-moving Fire Lizard would have to do. After all, it had the highest HP of any monster he'd encou...

After a brief pause, the apes quickly regrouped and launched a second wave of attacks. They had no retreat, only a fight to the death! Nearly a thousand apes surged towards Elliot like a tidal wave. No fear, no strategy, just obeying their primal urge to attack, wave after wave.

"350 HP, 180 Attack." Using Appraisal, Elliot saw the average stats of these apes. With such low attack power, they couldn't possibly beat him, no matter how man...

[Crocodile-Mouthed Ape]

Compared to the regular Giant-Mouthed Apes, these ones were slower but much stronger. 

They were the same species, just a different evolution path, similar to how Kumoko could evolve into a [Small Taratect] or a [Lesser Taratect]. 

The former was smaller and faster with lower stats elsewhere, while the latter was the opposite. Kumoko chose the Small Taratect path to maximize ...

So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [15]

Getting hit by one of those could probably kill Kumoko instantly.

Faced with this overwhelming situation, Kumoko could only rely on the incredible speed granted by her Godspeed skill to dodge frantically.

At the same time, the apes renewed their assault on the walls. The corpses of the apes Kumoko had poisoned earlier, far from deterring them, now served as gruesome stepping stones, helping the others climb even faster! 2025-05-09 15:46:23 +0000 UTC View Post

"This is bad! Really bad...!"

Seeing the swarm of Demon Monkey-type monsters gathering below, Kumoko was instantly dumbfounded.

Her nest was about a hundred meters off the ground! 

From down there, it should have been practically invisible. She'd used her thread manipulation skill to carve out this specific hiding spot. 

The nearby rock walls were incredibly steep and hard to climb. There weren't any flying mo...

So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [13]

Kumoko watched from the side as Elliot began his evolution.

She knew the evolution process involved falling asleep, so someone needed to stand guard. If a monster attacked while he was unconscious, who knew what might happen?

"Earth Dragon, you protected me last time. Now it's Kumoko's turn!"

"I definitely won't let anything hurt you, not even a little bit! Don't worry!" Kumoko puffed out her chest proudly.

Then immedia...

Meanwhile...

Kumoko was trying to decide how to spend her own skill points. She felt torn. There were so many skills she wanted to learn, but she had a limited number of points.

With 2600 skill points, Kumoko didn't know how best to spend them.

While she was struggling with the decision, Elliot, having already picked his skill, glanced over and offered some advice.

"If you don't know what to learn, start with [Poison Sy...

At level 1, Butcher gave one point per kill. Higher levels would grant even more. So, no need to be stingy with the expensive language skill.

Kumoko looked at the two human warriors, barely clinging to life with just a sliver of health left. After only a moment's hesitation, she activated her [Poison Fang] skill and bit down.

Having been human in her past life, attacking humans did weigh on her conscience a little. But 2025-05-09 15:40:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Kumoko watched the carnage unfold. Strangely, she didn't feel shocked anymore. More... numb. So many impossible things had already happened around this Earth Dragon. She just felt incredibly lucky he was on her side.

She'd actually become best friends with this guy! If they were enemies... she couldn't even imagine it!

Sniffle... She was still too weak, always thinking about running away. Look at the Earth Dragon already h...

Those not of my race cannot be trusted!

Having lived as a human in his previous life, Elliot knew this better than anyone. Humans would never truly accept other races as equals. Heck, humans of different skin colors still hated each other; how could they possibly accept non-humans?!

Down here in the Great Elroe Labyrinth, aside from the really high-level monsters, humans were the biggest threat to him.

Plus,...

So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [8]

What would she do if they encountered a monster that even the Earth Dragon couldn't beat?

Could she really just keep running forever?

At the rate they were going, they were bound to run into monsters they couldn't beat sooner or later. Was she supposed to just watch the Earth Dragon fight for his life while she hid in a corner, trembling?

She didn't want that! She didn't want to just run away anymore!

Unlike [Taboo], however, [Heresy Magic] was a major combat skill that could seriously boost his fighting power. 

This skill had an incredibly powerful soul-damaging effect. It bypassed physical defenses and HP entirely, directly attacking the target's soul. It was almost impossible to defend against.

This skill, when leveled up to LV 10, could inflict all sorts of nasty debuffs on enemies. It was seriously mes...

Elliot remained unfazed, continuing forward with his heavy, steady steps.

Kumoko could only swallow her nervousness and follow him.

Soon, they reached the spot where Kumoko had set up her webs. Sure enough, four or five frogs were tangled up, struggling desperately.

Looking at the trapped frogs, Elliot stood calmly, his expression unreadable. Kumoko's webs were incredibly sticky and tough; most ordinary monsters couldn't brea...

So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [5]

After all, this world looked exactly like the world from Kumoko's story!

But, Elliot wondered, why is she following me? And she's only Level 1... Does that mean she just hatched?

He knew he probably couldn't just ditch her, though. In the original story, Kumoko had that special gifted skill called "Godspeed." Every reincarnated person got one unique gifted skill, and Godspeed gave her extra movement speed...

So I'm a Dragon, So What? - Game System [4]

The other party was a [Reincarnated Person], just like her!

She got 100 skill points to learn a skill, and maybe he did too.

"I can't believe it... another reincarnated person like me! Looks like I'm not the only one who got sent to this world!"

Realizing this, Kumoko was utterly shocked.

But thinking about it... it made sense. If she could get transported here, why couldn't others? Besides, wh...

Yeah, Earth Dragons too.

"Even though it's just a young one, it has HP and defense in the triple digits! Its attack is higher than mine too!"

"We're both technically monsters, but we're not even in the same league."

"If it spots me, I'm dead, 100%!" she muttered to herself.

She was also a young monster, but the stats she saw from her Appraisal were worlds apart from that baby Earth Dragon's.
