Chapter 1 The Boss is Me

"Roar---"

A huge roar came from a distance.

It made the mountains tremble, the earth shake, the birds and beasts fled in terror, and it also caused the young animals sleeping deep in the caves to suddenly wake up, at a loss.

"hiss"

"What happened?"

Lin Kai seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare and his mind was still not very clear.

But the room in front of him was not a familiar one, nor were there any high-tech gaming cabins and supporting equipment.

Instead, there was a dark, warm cave, solid rock, and even a few gold coins scattered around.

"This is where?"

Lin Kai felt a splitting headache, and countless memories flooded into his mind. There were magic like in fantasy novels, and also his experience as a player in his previous life.

He only remembered that he accepted a mission from a rich player to get the Hill Giant's Finger, and went to the Giant Canyon and fought for more than eight hours in a row.

In the end, because I couldn't bear it anymore, I had to hang up and take a nap, and then get up and go into the game cabin to fight again.

As a result, when I opened my eyes, I found myself inexplicably in this damn place, and my body felt a little strange.

He climbed up with difficulty, and subconsciously walked on all fours to a puddle not far away.

"dragon?"

The "beast" in front of me was covered with dense red scales, and its golden vertical pupils made people feel its ferocity and brutality.

Its three-meter-long body still looks a bit immature like a baby, but many parts of it have already begun to look ferocious. Its dense fangs, sharp claws and sturdy and powerful limbs are the best proof of this.

Yes, it's a baby dragon.

Moreover, it is the most powerful and brutal red dragon among the five colored dragons.

His mouth was filled with the smell of sulfur, and it seemed as if there was a volcano buried deep in his throat, ready to erupt at any time, which made Lin Kai feel very uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but sneeze, and bursts of hot air and smoke suddenly came out of his nostrils.

A translucent blue light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.

Comment: "The powerful claws and sharp teeth of red dragons are enough to become nightmares for adventurers. They often use breath attacks or other special physical attacks, as well as magic that they have mastered since ancient times. Even when facing a young red dragon, never underestimate it, otherwise it will become a nightmare for your whole life."

"I traveled to Erezega?"

"And turned into Brother Kai?"

After browsing this information for a long time, Lin Kai, or Casius, finally sorted out his thoughts and understood the current situation.

And he was lost in the memories of his past life.

Erezega is a holographic game based on last century's Dungeons & Dragons (DND).

The origin and publisher of this game are unknown, but it has what can be called black technology, claiming to be able to create a real world for players. Its maximum number of concurrent online users worldwide is over 100 million.

From ordinary people to social elites and even giants in business and politics, countless people are immersed in it. Some people even live in the game cabin all day except for eating and sleeping.

A huge market has also spawned around this epic masterpiece. Every game update will even lead to changes in the world market. A piece of legendary equipment can be sold at an exaggerated price of tens of millions, which can be called the Bitcoin of the new century. This has also led to more and more people joining in this game - he is one of them.

The so-called "Brother Kai" is the present him, whose real name is Cassius Claudeu Norikius. He is the first world boss of Erezegei version 1.0 [Anzeta Storm], and an extremely evil red dragon who has signed a contract with the abyss demon.

He has numerous titles, such as Burning Embers, Raging Flames of Mountains, Harvester of Player Life, and Nightmare of Novices. In the early days of the game, during the mission [Winter's Rage], thousands of players who had just entered the game were tortured to death by the red dragon's flames, but they also suffered from the fact that the red dragon was flying in the sky and was difficult to harm.

Each person died dozens of times, and the charred bodies of players were piled up into mountains. Among them were quite a few future famous professional players, who ultimately won by sheer piles of lives and suicide attacks.

This brilliant record also earned Cassius the immortal title - "Brother Kai".

Even now, the game has entered version 4.0, and the level cap has been raised to level 20. Some players have even begun to gallop in the astral world, accepting employment across planes, and traversing the multiverse. The story of Brother Kai is still circulating in the arena: a red dragon, with his skilled human meat barbecue skills, abuses all masters and turns them into piles of charcoal.

"Brother Kai's barbecue is second to none."

But what is the timeline now?
"Roar!"

Outside the nest, another roar interrupted Cassius's thoughts.

The powerful pressure in the air made the young dragon tremble, but he still resisted the urge to escape. He trotted all the way to the entrance of the cave and quietly stuck his head out to observe the situation.

In the distant sky, a gigantic red dragon was flapping its huge wings, stirring up gusts of wind, and looking down at the ground from above.

That should be Cassius's current biological mother. From the giant dragon body that is more than twenty feet long, it can be seen that this is a powerful red dragon in its prime.

"Half-human, half-elf bastard, get out of my territory!"

"Who do you think you're facing?"

"In front of you is Her Majesty Tiamat's most favored offspring, the ruler of Cloudtop Peak, the noble and powerful red dragon Akelnia!"

The Red Dragon's tone was extremely conceited, which was also given by her bloodline.

Standing on the ground and confronting the dragon fearlessly was a warrior in dark golden armor, his face blurred, as if shrouded in a layer of faint light.

One can only tell that he is half-elf from his half-pointed ears, and can barely tell from his figure that he is a female.

She stood with her sword on her back, her tone firm and calm: "Evil dragon, you are so arrogant and conceited, but you cannot foresee that you will eventually be destroyed."

The half-elf stared at the giant dragon in the sky and said word by word in a sonorous and powerful voice: "You plunder ill-gotten gains and harm innocent people. Your actions have destroyed the justice and order of the entire world."

"No matter what kind of god is standing behind you, we who uphold our oath will make you pay the price you deserve - your life!"

This is the paladin's oath of revenge!

After saying this, the half-elf drew the silver sword from his back.

The red dragon in the sky snorted, let out a long roar, then flapped its wings and swooped down.

The ferocious mouth opened as if it was going to tear the tiny half-elf into pieces.

A scorching flame suddenly gushed out from the depths of her throat, and the terrifying temperature caused the air to distort.

"It's 'Twilight Blade' Rhea."

Kai Xius couldn't help but think, and he finally recalled the quest line related to him.

Main quest: [Rage of the Cold Night]

[Ten years ago, the mother of the red dragon Cassius Claudeu Noricius was killed by the traveling half-elf paladin "Twilight Blade" Rhea, and the young red dragon fled in panic. It quietly hibernates in the mountains of Anstika, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on humans.

Now, it has signed a contract with the ancient demon deep in the mountains, transformed into "burning fire", and destroyed several cities one after another. The evil dragon will lead its evil army to break justice and order and turn the entire North into ashes! ]
And now, it is probably the time of the battle between the red dragon and the holy warrior, which was ten years before the players arrived!
In Cassius's eyes, the half-elf paladin in the distance was at level 20, almost crossing the threshold of legend, and even had the blessing of God, making him an absolute world-class powerhouse.

You know, the standard challenge level of a mature red dragon is only level 17. Even if its life level has reached legendary, it is still not enough in front of a "hack" like the God-favored Paladin.

What's more, this famous "Twilight Blade" had already successfully advanced to Legend in the 4.0 version of the previous life, and was one of the important NPCs in the main quest of the [Elf Kingdom] series.

It seems that my adopted mother is in great danger.

The red dragon shook his head. He didn't have time to think so much. He just flapped his tender wings and ran back to the nest, ready to pack up and run away.

Of course, before the wanderer leaves home, he still needs to "take away" some capital for self-reliance from this stepmother in a legitimate way.

"By Tiamat, this is the red dragon's treasure house."

"I hope it's not too shabby..."

Cassius exhaled a breath of hot, sulfurous air, shook his body gently, and stretched his somewhat stiff wings.

　Pseudo dnd, the setting of the red dragon is based on 3r, and it has its own casting level (5e flying lizard is really not good). The player's profession is mainly based on 5E, and there will be magical changes.

　　The other is the game Alien World! Alien World!
