Chapter 1 The Boss Is Actually Me

"Roar——"

A huge roar came from afar.

It made the mountains tremble, the earth tremble, birds and beasts fled in panic, and also made the young animals sleeping deep in the cave suddenly wake up and be at a loss.

"Hiss"

"What happened?"

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

But in front of him was not a familiar room, nor a game cabin full of technology and supporting equipment.

Instead, it was a dark and warm cave, hard rocks, and even a few gold coins scattered inside.

"Where is this?"

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

He only remembered that he took the task of brushing the finger of a local tyrant player on the hill giant, and went to the Giant Canyon to play for more than eight hours in a row.

In the end, because his body couldn't bear it, he could only hang up and sleep for a while, and prepare to get up and enter the game cabin to fight again.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, he inexplicably came to this ghost place, and his body was a little strange.

He struggled to get up, and subconsciously walked on all fours to a puddle not far away.

"Dragon?"

The "beast" in front of him was covered with dense red scales, and the golden vertical pupils made people feel fierce and brutal.

The body of more than three meters long was still a little immature, but many parts had begun to show ferocity, and the fine fangs, sharp claws and strong limbs were the best proof.

Yes, this is a young dragon.

And it is the most powerful and brutal red dragon among the five-color dragons.

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

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

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

"I traveled to Erezega?"

"And became Brother Kai?"

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

And fell into the memories of his previous life.

"Erezegai" is a holographic game based on the Dungeons and Dragons (dnd) of the last century.

This game has an unknown origin and an unknown publisher, but it has a technology that can be called black technology. It claims to be able to create a real world for players, and its global maximum number of simultaneous online users is over 100 million.

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

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

The so-called "Brother Kai" is the current him, whose real name is Cassius. Claude. Noricius. He is the first world boss of Erezega 1.0 version [Anzeta Wind and Cloud], and the extremely evil red dragon who signed a contract with the abyss demon.

He has countless titles, such as Burning Embers, Raging Flames of Mountains, Harvester of Players' Lives, and Nightmare of Novices.

In the early days of the game, in the [Winter Rage] mission, thousands of players who had just entered the game were tortured by the red dragon's flames and were intoxicated by the red dragon's soaring in the sky.

The average person died dozens of times, and the charred bodies of players were piled up into a mountain. Among them, there were many future famous professional players, who finally relied on piling up lives and playing suicide attacks to defeat them.

This brilliant record also earned Cassius the immortal title of "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, accept employment across planes, and travel across the multiverse. The story of Brother Kai is still circulating in the world: a red dragon relies on his skillful human meat barbecue skills to abuse all the masters and turn them into piles of charcoal.

"Brother Kai's barbecue is unparalleled in the world."

But what timeline is it now?

"Roar!"

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

The powerful coercion in the air made the young dragon feel trembling, but he still resisted the idea of ​​​​escape, trotted all the way to the entrance of the cave, and quietly poked his head out to observe the situation.

In the distant sky, a huge red dragon was waving its huge wings, whipping up gusts of wind, looking down at the ground condescendingly.

That should be Cassius's current biological mother. It can be seen from the giant dragon body that is more than twenty years long 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 His Majesty Tiamat's most favored heir, the ruler of Yunding Peak, the noble and powerful red dragon Aklenia!"

The red dragon's tone was extremely conceited, which was also given by her bloodline.

Standing on the ground and confronting the dragon without fear was a warrior wearing dark golden armor, his face blurred, as if shrouded in a layer of shimmering light.

His identity as a half-elf can only be identified from the exposed semi-pointed ears, and he can barely be identified as a woman from his body shape.

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

The half-elf stared at the giant dragon in the sky and said loudly and forcefully: "You plundered ill-gotten gains and killed innocent people. What you did has destroyed the justice and order of the entire world."

"No matter what kind of god is standing behind you, those of us who stick to our oath will make you pay the price you deserve - life!"

This is the paladin's oath of revenge!

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

The red dragon in the sky snorted and roared before fluttering its wings and pounced down.

The ferocious gaping mouth seemed to tear the tiny half-elf into pieces.

Hot flames suddenly burst out from the depths of her throat, and the air was distorted by the terrifying temperature.

"It's Rhea, the Blade of Twilight."

Cassius couldn't help but think as he finally recalled the quest line related to him.

Main mission: [Wrath in the Cold Night]

[Ten years ago, the mother of the red dragon Cassius Claudius Norixius was killed by Rhea, the traveling half-elf paladin "Blade of Twilight", and the young red dragon fled in panic. . It is dormant silently in the mountains of Anstica, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on mankind.

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 legion, break justice and order, and turn the entire Northland into a ash! ]

And now, I am afraid it is the time for the battle between the red dragon and the paladin, which is ten years before the player arrived!

In Cassius's eyes, the half-elf paladin in the distance had a level of 20, and was about to cross the threshold of legend. He even had a divine companion, and he was an out-and-out world-class powerhouse.

You know, the standard challenge level for a mature red dragon is only level 17. Even if its life level has reached Legend, it is still not enough in front of a "hangbi" like the God's Holy Warrior.

What's more, this famous "Blade of Twilight" has successfully advanced to legend in the 4.0 version of the previous life, and is one of the important NPCs in the main mission of the [Elf Kingdom] series.

It seems that my cheap mother is in bad luck.

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

Of course, before the wanderer leaves home, he still needs to openly "take" some self-reliance capital from this cheap mother.

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

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

Cassius blew out a breath of sulfur-smelling hot breath, shook his body slightly, and stretched his somewhat stiff wings.

Pseudo dnd, the setting of red dragon refers to 3r, with its own spellcasting level (5e flying giant lizard is really not good). In terms of player profession, it mainly refers to 5e, and there will be magic changes.

In addition, it is a game from another world! Another world!
