I used to be a red dragon. I was appointed by the Creator God to manage a dungeon in the Beastman Kingdom.

　It was a dungeon dedicated to raising brave men. That's why adventurers didn't usually come to the dungeon, and it was pretty busy.

　About a hundred years ago, a brave man finally came to my dungeon, which had been empty for a long time.

　I remember how excited I was at the time.

　I was thinking of a thousand possible lines to say to him when he reached the final layer.

　The brave men who challenged my dungeon were a pair.

　The human race hero and a half-elf woman who has probably been transferred from another world.

　The woman was probably the valiant's chaperone.
　I remember that the woman had better swordsmanship.

　The brave man was stronger, but there were some dangerous moments, and the half-elf woman supported him well.

　I think they make a pretty good pair.

　Then they came to the final layer where I was waiting.

　I was pleased to be able to say the line I've been thinking about for a hundred years to the brave men who stood in front of me.

　Now, I just need to take care of the rest.

　I've been watching the movements of the heroes with the crystal that manages the dungeon, and I know that they are not yet strong enough to defeat me.

　When the battle with the heroes began, they worked well together to avoid my attacks, but again, they were not strong enough to injure me.

　It's impossible to defeat me, no matter how hard I try.
　It's time to give up and come back to life.

　That's what I was thinking, but...


　Suddenly, the woman put her sword away and moved behind the brave man.

　In the next moment, my survival instincts started screaming at me to get away from this place now.

　It was the first time in my life I felt that.

　Fear - I was born into the strongest dragon and never had my life threatened, but this was the first time I felt it.

　I still remember the words of the brave man to my astonished face.

　He said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to have to cheat a little bit" - he said that.

　I'm sure he hadn't been serious about fighting me until then.

　However, he realized that he couldn't defeat me as it was, so he used the cheat skills unique to brave men from another world.


　I was defeated.
　I was defeated.

　I couldn't even catch a glimpse of the brave man moving at an impossible speed, and before I knew it, I was being beaten to a pulp.

　Without any mercy at all, the brave man put a stop to me.

　When I was about to be knocked down, I thought of many words I wanted to say to the hero, but - he didn't let me say anything.

　My last words were 'eh, wait...'.

　d*mn. It was so lame.


　I'm dead.
　I thought I was dead, but then I woke up.

　In front of me was the God of Creation, and he told me that he was going to make me the next dragon god.

　God of Creation gave me new life.

　God of Creation gave me new life.
　I became a god.

　I had no life or death problems.

　However, if you have too little faith in me, you can cease to exist.

　However, the gods can't directly touch the humans and demons of this world. That's why I created the 'Dragon Priestess System'.

　I chose the dragon tribe's girl - the dragon priestess - to give my blessing and power to heal the injuries of the dragon tribe and the dragon people.

　When the dragon tribe was grateful to her, that feeling became my food of faith.

　I was a bit of an imitation of the creator's "holy woman".
　It's a well-designed system.

　I didn't copy that system.
　A tribute.

　I was young as a god, but I was proud to say that I was doing pretty well.



　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one.

　I've been playing with the white dragon for a long time.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the future.

　It was a bit frustrating.

　However, now that I've become the Dragon God, there's no way I'm going to lose to a white dragon!　I guess.
　I'm going to win this thing, right?

　The dragon priestesses are doing a great job now.
　Just recently, a large amount of faithfulness came to me.

　The old white dragon and the dragon priestess who delivers faith to me called me, so I decided to manifest it.


　The two of them smelled the soul of the A. brave person. I can also sense the faint scent of a half-elf.

　I've been able to smell the soul of a human since I was a dragon.

You all smell the soul of a brave man I defeated a long time ago.

　I thought it couldn't be possible, but I couldn't help but say it out loud because I missed it.

'My uncle, you lost?　That means...
Are you referring to your guardian hero?

Yeah. That's what they used to call him.

　After I became a god, I found out that the guy who defeated me was called a guardian hero.

　It seems that a guardian hero doubles his status when he has someone to protect behind him.

　If the hero at that time was level 100, then the half-elf woman had moved behind the hero by delivering her sword, which meant that the hero's status had increased to the equivalent of level 200.

　That's just a cheat!

　So it's no wonder I lost.
　Well, if I'm a god now, there's no way I'm going to lose to him.

　In the past, when I was trying to justify my defeat, a terrible piece of information came out of the mouth of the white dragon.

''That guardian hero has actually been reincarnated.

What...?

　What?
　What do you mean?

Yeah, is that a fact?

'Yes, sir. It is a fact. I believe that the scent of the guardian hero's soul that Dragon God-sama sensed was his (...).

　The dragon priestess answered me.
　The Dragon Priestess couldn't lie to me.

　A guardian hero reincarnated?
　What, are you serious?

　And that means...

It's his chance for revenge!

Uh, uh... uh... dragon god?

"Hahaha, guardian hero. I'm going to make you regret your mistake in coming back to this world.

　What? I'm not going to kill you.
　It's just a little payback.

　For not letting me say the one thing I've been meaning to say.

　The gods can't hurt people directly, but that's the rule in the mortal world.

　I'm going to take my guardian heroes to the divine realm and ask them to fight there. Anyone who's beaten me before is caught off guard.

　All we need now is a reason to fight.

　I've got to find a reason for the hero to want to fight me.

　Well, you'll have to wait until you see him first.
　As a god, I have a mountain of things to offer as a reward for victory.

　Of course, I have no intention of losing.

　I'm going to say the words I've never been able to say to the guy kneeling in front of me!


　For the first time in a long time, I took on the form of a red dragon.

　The body was filled with incomparably more power than before thanks to becoming a god.

　I grabbed the dragon maiden and the humanized white dragon and jumped up.

　I was surprised by my sudden action, but both the miko and the white dragon remained quiet in my hands, not lashing out.

　If we follow the scent that permeates these two, we should be able to get to the brave men.

　I'm not going to be able to get out of the house.

　I'm coming!
　Let's see if we can avenge a hundred years of bitterness!
