Last Egg: Reincarnated as a Dragon in a Game-Chapter 474 The First Wave
Two months later:
POV ???:
Two tall mountain peaks towered to the sky, their snowcapped tips tearing through the clouds. Their cliffs of stony walls and steep slides cascaded toward a mountain passage with a river flowing through it.
A tall, black wall stood between them, blocking the passage with its monstrous height of tens of meters.
Everything was silent except for the howling of the mountain winds. The road slithering by the river was packed with carriages and humans—their path blocked by the gate of black steel and hardened wood, the magic runes inscribed into every inch of their surface.
Amidst the crowd, a solitary figure appeared, unnoticed. He stood with his body hidden beneath a thick brown coat and hood. For a moment, he twitched, but he quickly calmed his nerves and blended into the crowd.
'Let's see what this scenario is about.'
Beep!
<<<<Survivor System>>>>
Welcome to the new scenario, Dimensional War!
Active objective: Find out what is going on.
Current scenario difficulty: ???
<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>
'What is with this difficulty?!' This was the first time he had ever seen it, making him slightly anxious.
Just a glance at the cracked moon with ginormous pieces of stone orbiting around it and the red sky was enough for him to know the situation was alarming.
He glanced around, observing his surroundings, 'This is obviously some western fantasy world.'
He knew he needed to identify the source of danger, so he scanned his surroundings once more. 'The fragments of the moon falling? Ice age?'
The cry came from the back, "Crystal!" followed by a guttural growl that shook with the ground, ringing akin to a glass shattering resounding through the mountain passage.
Oh, so we have here a classical monster scenario!' The survivor breathed out in relief, 'As long as it is something physical that can be killed, this should be easy.'
He looked around, his eyes darting in the search for a solution to his current predicament. The wall was tall, its gates closed, and mountains, ice-cold rivers, and cliffs blocked his path to the side.
'It looks like my only path is to fight.' Even to this day, he had one weakness: he lacked powerful movement or stealth skills—all he could was destroy.
Something whistled, and the next moment, a giant crystal spike landed in the crowd, sending blood and viscera flying through the air.
A seven-meter-tall monster, looking like a giant ape with tiny crystal needles instead of fur, was running down the steep cliff to his side, the ground reverberating under its heavy steps.
The survivor didn't even blink. Instead, his eyes flashed as he whispered, "Fiery Meteor Strike!"
The sky flared with fire, and a giant burning rock descended, materializing out of nowhere. Its bright light lit up the sky, and everyone's gaze fell upon it, the surprised shouts of the crowd filling him with pride.
"Look at it!"
The meteor struck the monster, and the tremendous explosion disintegrated everything in its path, melting both the stone and the ice and turning the distant mountain into rubble. The shockwave reached all the way toward him, a grin forming on his face as he already heard the victorious beep.
Beep!

<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>
'Hehe, how far did I go from my first scenario where I almost died to a simple, dumb zombie?'
He was the ultimate survivor! He would survive, adapt, and absorb the catastrophes and threats that didn't kill him.
POV The Knight:
Two horned figures, each tall and fully armed in black, shiny armor, their armored boots clanging against the polished black marble floor, walked down the citadel corridor. Their draconic wings leisurely moved on their backs.
The rough voice of the koborc broke the silence as the first, "So the beings with mysterious powers from other dimensions that master prophetized have finally appeared."
"Yes, Grug, we have detected one anomalous individual in the capital city with a very unique power." The knight looked at the massive warrior, feeling slightly small.
'Should I also evolve into something bigger?'
"What power? Is he a worthy foe?" The koborc's eyes lit up with hunger for war.
"Some kind of mind-controlling power affecting only women For some reason, they are joining this man's harem. On top of that, he showcased weird powers to master magic, martial arts, and other skills from the woman in his harem at a shocking speed."
'Such a great power...' Even after the years of service, he still didn't forget his old dream of creating his harem. 'Maybe I should do it? I have standing, money, and power, so there is nothing stopping me.'
POV Vesuvius:
The dragon felt as if he were floating in the emptiness. He didn't know how long he was there, as the time blended into a single string of jumbled mess. There was nothing—no light, no time, not even space. Only the small bubble of his domain existed, like a tiny meteor stranded between galaxies.
The only lights were the five auras burning in the void. Their overwhelming pressure, which felt like thousands of black holes, made the dragon constantly keep his head down in reverence.
He recognized all of them except for one, as they were the gods of Genesis he had met before.
'Who is the fifth one?'
He saw the warm golden aura belonging to the dragon god, the purple of coldness and death belonging to the god of death, the one consisting of colorful shimmering crystals belonging to the crystal god, and at last, the black-darkness of the administrator.
Yet the fifth one, consisting of nine smaller auras locked in constant battle, seemingly devouring and regenerating each other, was unknown.
'Is this the eldest I once heard of?'
The voice of the dragon god woke him from his thoughts: "So you want the power of the dragon king?"
"Yes."
"So be it—you have already proven yourself capable of taking the responsibility. We will give you the first part you need, the recognition of Genesis!"
The next moment, all five auras pulsed, and tiny droplets of their powers separated, converging in a single spot.
"This is the recognition of Genesis—it will be your sigil known across reality for as long as Genesis exists!"
The five converging energies shifted, creating a circle filled with various symbols and shapes, glowing with radiant golden light that seemed to form its own tiny bubble of reality.
