Scales Tempered by Dragonblood

The “Reaper” of the star sea, lord of the abyss, fallen watchman...

Reynold is a half-dragon with the mixed blood of dragons and humans. Viewed as cursed and driven out by the dragons for his impure lineage, he has honed his skills and survived on his own.

As the mercenary “Black Blade,” he wields a massive greatsword and is cold and formidable.

Yet he constantly struggles with loneliness, the conflict in his blood, and his sense of self.

While fighting the demonic beasts on the frontier, he unexpectedly discovers that the demons consider him the perfect “key embryo” to open the “Abyssal Gate.” Faced with the deep humiliation of being treated as a tool and a crisis threatening the end of the world, Reynold chooses to confront the danger.

He will turn this curse into power, vowing to hone his scales on his enemies' bones and shatter the conspiracy with a “true form” that transcends both dragon and human. Thus begins a legendary journey of bloodline fusion and self-redemption, one that will decide whether the world survives.
