"Listen, making you my slave is for your own good."
"Think about it: tell a law-abiding person not to kill anyone in the street, tell a moral person not to run a red light, tell a devout believer to pray every day. They won't feel unfree."
"Because all the freedom of intelligent beings comes from letting morality and faith be their masters. Only this kind of enslavement can give inner freedom to mortals imprisoned by life. Slavery brings freedom; absolute slavery brings absolute freedom. Only by enslaving everything can everything be saved. And I, my friend, am the savior."
"Believe me, you will ultimately overcome yourself and come to love your ruler."
From humans and goblins to dragons and angels, even evil gods and empires, all will one day tremble and cry out "Long live the ruler" beneath the black dragon's fangs. This is the story of a black dragon who struggles to survive in a dense forest among giant beasts, then grows step by step into a savior who rules the world and enslaves all things.
This is the story of the black dragon known as the Ruler.
A dragon-conquest kingdom-building story. The dragon never takes human form. Cover image from the internet; contact me for removal.
