《Breeding Dragons From Today》Chapter 46: First Victory
Advertisement
In the Dragon God Arena.
Du Lu's protective dragon shield had long been broken. The dragon scales fell off, and dragon blood splattered.
The steel dragon was also in a bad mood. It glowed with a metallic luster, and its seemingly solid body became dim and even illusory.
Joelson's eyes became serious, and he could not help but stand up.
Finally.
Du Lu was about to fiercely bite the steel dragon's neck. Even though the dragon's teeth were broken, he still refused to relax.
The thick and long tail turned around and struck the steel dragon's body.
The steel dragon let out a powerless wail, and its body stiffened.
The next moment, it suddenly shattered and turned into a golden light that filled the sky.
He won!
Du Lu finally won!
A look of joy and excitement appeared on Joelson's face. He was even more excited than when he won the next battle.
In the fifteenth battle, Du Lu had finally defeated his first opponent in the Gladiator Arena!
Du Lu raised his huge dragon head, and his roar shook the sky. His broken dragon wings lifted his body that was full of wounds. His aura was weak, but it was almost burning in the dark dragon eyes.
This was the pride of the dragon race!
"Congratulations to the dragon race that belongs to the rancher for obtaining the victory of the Dragon God Gladiator Arena. You have obtained 1 victory point."
Victory points?!
What was this?
Joelson was stunned for a moment before he began to carefully check the system.
He discovered that after the victory of Du Lu, the Dragon God Arena had opened something similar to a lottery roulette. It required victory points to be able to be drawn.
Five victory points to be drawn once.
Joelson intended to carefully check if there were any good things that could be used on the roulette, but the system's voice sounded once again.

"Congratulations to the fire-type dragon Du Lu for obtaining the ancient Dragon God's praise for its tenacious fighting spirit."
After the voice ended, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Du Lu within.
Du Lu howled in pain.
However, the injuries on its body were rapidly healing.
At the same time, its body was constantly expanding and expanding, and explosive power was brewing under its body.
Joelson quickly checked Du Lu's status panel.
The growth value did not increase at all.
However, there was a strange progress bar at the bottom.
"Ancient Fire Dragon Bloodline: 1/100"
The progress bar continued to increase. When it reached '10/100', the golden light pillar dispersed.
At this time, Du Lu seemed to have undergone a huge change.
It was still a type 5 dragon, but Du Lu's body had grown by a whole circle.
The color of its scales had become purer, and the red scales were like rubies.
Its claws and teeth had also become harder, longer, and sharper.
The once cute Du Lu had disappeared, and it now had the ferocity of a dragon.
However, it was still as intimate with Joelson as before.
Du Lu lowered its head and let Joelson climb onto its back, spreading its wings and soaring in the sky above the ranch.
"Du Lu, well done!"
Joelson patted Du Lu's huge head in satisfaction.
Du Lu let out a few happy growls.
Du Lu, who had obtained a portion of the ancient fire dragon bloodline inheritance, had already soared to 2,500 combat power, completely surpassing the dragon soul of the steel dragon it had defeated.
His growth value had also reached 3,866/4,000.
Joelson's heart was filled with anticipation.
Soon, he would have a second dragon.
A brand new dragon companion, a brand new magic attribute talent.
A dual-element mage, or even a multi-element, or even an all-element mage in the future!

After challenging the Mage Tower, Joelson was very envious of the elemental magic wolf that could easily control the light and dark attribute magic powers.
And he, too, would have such a day sooner or later.
Joelson exited the Dragon God Ranch and walked out of the basement.
Leas came up to welcome him and said softly, "Young Master, the bath water has been put in."
Joelson nodded slightly.
The bath barrel was filled with hot water, and Leas sprinkled some essence and flower petals on it.
Joelson didn't know what to say. He said helplessly, "Leas, do you think I'm a Woman?"
Leas' face turned red. She whispered in embarrassment, "I think that's what other people did."
"Other people? Who do you think did it?"
Leas helped Joelson take off his clothes and frowned.
"It's young Master Morton's sisters. They often come to talk to me."
Leas was a little worried. She carefully looked at Joelson's expression, afraid that he would be unhappy.
"Oh, is that so?" Joelson said lightly.
Joelson knew that Morton must have asked the maid to specially teach Leas.
Morton was very smart.
Joelson slowly lay down in the bathtub.
A pair of cold little hands suddenly reached out from behind his head and stroked Joelson's temple, gently pressing it.
"Did they teach you this too?"
Joelson laughed.
Leas' technique was very awkward, but surprisingly comfortable.
"Yes."
Joelson could not see that Leas, who was behind him, was already blushing.
Leas did not say anything. In fact, what Morton's maid had told her was...
At this time, she should step into the bathtub together and place Joelson's head on her body.
Sometimes, she even had to satisfy some of the nobles' demands.
Leas still could not do it.
Leas stared at Joelson's handsome side profile with his eyes slightly closed. She could not help but think if Joelson really made such a request, would she agree to it?
Leas was lost in her thoughts, and her eyes could not help but be a little stunned.
Suddenly, a pair of clear eyes were staring at her.
Joelson opened his eyes.
Leas hurriedly turned her face to the other side, her face turning red until it reached her neck.
"Forget it, I'll wash it myself."
"Oh."
Leas stood up obediently.
She heaved a sigh of relief, but for some reason, there was a faint sense of disappointment.
Joelson watched Leas' slender figure slowly disappear at the door, and shook his head helplessly.
At first, Leas' massage was fine, but later, the pressure became lighter and lighter. In the end, it was as if she was tickling herself.
If this went on, Joelson was afraid that he would fall asleep in the bathtub.
A maid who did not look like a maid.
And a noble who did not look like a noble.
After Joelson took a shower, Leas brought over the gorgeous clothes that she had prepared earlier.
Tonight was the banquet in the palace, and it was also his honor ceremony.
"Forget it, I'll wear that," he said after thinking for a while.
It was a brand new mage robe, but it was black.
The four golden stripes on the left side of his chest were shining under the light of the magic lamp, and there was also a purple-gold badge that symbolized nobility.
The certificate of a fourth-rank mage.
Harriet Terrence had prepared it for him.
"Put on this mage robe. Even if you don't say it, everyone will know that you are Joelson Edward."
By the time Joelson arrived at the agreed location with Harriet Terrence, Harriet Terrence was already waiting there.

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
