[Blurb]

Gaius is an emerald dragon capable of traveling between worlds.

The greatest mistake of his life was picking up a wandering soul from another world, Fu Zhao, while traveling in a foreign realm and not in his right mind.

At first, he gave Fu Zhao a new body, taught him magic, and kept him by his side.

Later, the puppet he had crafted with his own hands became his lover.

And later still, his lover raised a dagger and pointed it at him.

Imprisoned in the deepest part of the dragon's lair, Gaius still wondered: How had he ended up letting a puppet have absolute say over his life, death, love, and hatred?

Meanwhile, Fu Zhao set off on a journey alone, feeling his warm but false flesh.

He understood what had killed him in the first place, and how he had later managed to survive by sheer luck.

Hatred, gratitude, and desire could all be so intense.

Reason told him he should kill that dragon.
