Dragon Raja: The Growth Log of a Socially Anxious Dragon King

When Shiliang, the “invisible nobody” of Shilan High School, receives an acceptance letter from Cassell College, all he wants is to quietly watch from the sidelines with his ice-cold soda. But sleeping inside him is the dangerous, incomplete authority of the “Dragon King of Oceans and Waters,” along with the sin of devouring his own kin, Leviathan, and a world-ending Word Spirit named “Guixu.”

His social anxiety is his disguise; ice-cold soda is his sedative. At Cassell College, he becomes a certified “weirdo”: hunting down the good-for-nothing senior Fingel with frozen fish, trapping Professor Manstein, the discipline committee chairman, in a restroom and “freezing” him in place, and coolly asking the Board of Trustees during an interrogation, “Do you intend to judge me too?” His reputation as the “Frozen Fish God of War” spreads far and wide.

But this is also a story of redemption. By “exploiting a bug” to steal power from the red-haired girl Erii, he struggles to purge the impurities of the Dragon King and recover his lost humanity and memories. When all his memories finally return, he recalls his past “achievements” and dies of embarrassment. The Dragon King lets out a despairing cry: “What the hell have I done?!”

From then on, the food-guarding Dragon King sets out to apologize and make amends. He lives a quiet homebody life with the little monster Erii he “kidnapped,” while reaching an unspoken “live and let live” agreement with another Dragon King, Xia Mi (Jormungandr), who disguises herself as a lively young girl.

This is an academy epic that weaves together Dragon King intrigue, everyday comedy, and heartwarming healing. Watch a socially anxious Dragon King use the most unconventional logic to write his own legend at Cassell College and rediscover the warmth of being human on the edge of the abyss.
