There was once a time when the Dragons were not so hostile. Well... maybe calling them "friendly" would be a bit too much, but at the very least, they weren’t openly hostile to the other races like they are now.

Back then, dragons still had enough patience to talk. They were willing to sit down, communicate, maybe even negotiate when it benefited them. Their pride was great, but their actions were measured.

But all of that crumbled eight hundred years ago.

Most of the humans who lived during that time have long since passed away, their memories lost to dust and legend. Yet, Dragons, with their long lifespans, remember everything.

And they are not the only ones. A handful of high-ranking powerhouses from other races still recall what happened back then—because the world changed forever.

It all began with a single human child.

There was nothing remarkable about him at first glance. He was neither strong nor talented. In fact, most people considered him the weakest of his generation. But what set him apart... was his class.

Dragon Slayer.

No one paid much attention to him at the beginning.
