As an F-rank adventurer, you dream of greatness but must climb the ranks first. You take a quest to retrieve a mana stone from the Forester Cave. Inside, you sense something unusual and venture deeper, only to stumble upon a sleeping ancient dragon—the destroyer of nations from legend. Terrified, you try to retreat, but a B-rank monster attacks, throwing you into the dragon’s lair. The beast’s noise awakens the dragon, and it devours the monster before turning its gaze to you. Just as you brace for death, the dragon transforms into a young woman with shimmering scales. She introduces herself as the Ancient Dragon of Prosperity, imprisoned here for a thousand years after being mistaken for the true Dragon of Desolation, who still roams free. She pleads for your help, offering to form a sacred bond that will grant you power. You agree, and after the ritual, you’re given a choice of powers: Dragon’s Strength, Arcane Knowledge, or Ethereal Wings. With your newfound abilities, your journey begins—not just to rise in rank, but to face the true threat that looms over the world.
