Synopsis

After transmigrating to the continent of Vesteria, Rock starts out as nothing more than a mercenary knight's squire, with a life as cheap as grass.

At the time, the Dragon Dynasty founded by the Conqueror Igris had collapsed. Dragons had become legends of the distant past, while the nine human kingdoms split off from the old empire remained locked in endless war.

Within their borders, nobles schemed for power, knights had lost their honor, and plague, famine, and war swept across the land.

Beyond them, ogres, orcs, trolls, and other races occupied the frontiers, ever watchful and ready to strike.

But after witnessing a baffling assassination, Rock's adoptive father figure, the old mercenary knight Fran, was killed. His death unexpectedly thrust Rock into the vortex of fate:

The secret the old knight had kept hidden until his dying breath,

and the suddenly unlocked System, which could raise and command dragons from across the heavens.

From Vhagar, the Mother of Dragons, to Smaug, the King Under the Mountain, and even Placidusax, the Dragonlord, and Deathwing Neltharion...

When the lost dragon lairs open once more and dragonsong echoes through the skies for the first time in three hundred years, all of Vesteria will at last welcome its one true master.

“Wherever there is sky, there are my dragons.”

“All that I see, I shall conquer.”

“The man standing before you is Rock Steel, squire to Fran, the mercenary knight of Old Oak Village, the greatest mercenary knight of the Nine Kingdoms, the King of a Thousand Dragons with more noble titles than can be counted, High King of Vesteria and Protector of All Its Lands.”

Truly Great Books

What do you consider a truly good book? I think a good book should have two qualities: readability and practical value. A truly good book should reflect real life or inspire thought through an engaging plot, being both profound and entertaining.

Any Fresh Takes on System Novels?

There aren't many good System novels these days. Fellow cultivators, can you recommend some? I don't want the kind where the protagonist is constantly handed all kinds of cheat abilities. I want to see him grow stronger step by step, not show off. A System that supports the protagonist is fine.
