The dragon decided to leave on a whim.
He'd had enough of the poor villagers, the endless stream of heroes, and the princess who dared to enslave a dragon.
What made it even worse was that the dragon, overcome by lust, pounced on the princess, only to discover she was twice his size!
The dragon was humiliated. Fortunately, his teeth were strong enough to chew through dimensional barriers.
On the other side of one was a game. Perfect. The dragon would go play.

Otome Game: Heartbeat Melody
A brand-new, unromanceable NPC appears out of nowhere.
Pay him enough gold, and this dragon gentleman will carry your chosen love interest right over to you, then politely encourage them to follow your romantic script with a little puff of flame.
Except...
Whenever the NPC is set down, their built-in AI acts as though it's caught a virus. They inexplicably conjure a rose and, ignoring the player's shrieks, hand it to the dragon's claw with heartfelt devotion:
"Good day, sir. The luster of your scales outshines even the purest gold."
"Grrr!"
The dragon angrily breathes fire, singeing the gentleman's hat brim. "Get out of the way! You're keeping the dragon from counting his money!"
Dungeon: Echoes of the Abyss
In a dungeon world full of shadows and the stench of sulfur, a domineering new lord suddenly appears.
He's evil: he forcibly charges tolls! Gold, gold equipment, even the faintest golden glint can't escape his notice!
He's powerful: try to skip the toll or resist, and one slap will wipe your account clean and send you back to the start!
And he's... kind of cute? You can often spot him happily twitching the tip of his tail as he clings to the huge stained-glass window in the Demon King's bedroom, trying to chip off an emerald with his teeth.
The evil Demon King sighs helplessly, conjures a shimmering blood-red gem, and tosses it precisely toward the window. "Little thief, this one's shinier."
The dragon admires it for a long while, then boldly holds out his claw. "The dragon wants more."

The dragon has chewed through the dimensional barriers of all three worlds, and chaos is spreading like wildfire!
An otome game player opens a coffin and flirts with a vampire. "Hey, handsome, want some coffee... uh, a blood pack?"
A dungeon player grabs a holy sword and tries to purify a goblin. "Ha ha! I'm a holy knight!"
The game company, having suffered massive losses, goes berserk. Antivirus programs flood the worlds like a torrent of data, vowing to completely "format" the dragon causing all the trouble!
At this critical moment,
Clang!
The princess of the fairy-tale world tears open her elaborate, heavy skirt and draws a sharp rune greatsword. Her voice is as clear and cold as an icy spring. "Did this prince give you permission to touch him?"
Ding!
Data streams flash across a cold screen. The handsome love interests expressionlessly remove the roses that symbolize love. The AI's electronic voice remains perfectly calm. "Generating tactical plan... Calculating optimal extermination route..."
Boom!
The Demon King's crimson eyes flare with rage. Shadows churn beneath his throne as eighteen Abyssal Demon King projections of every shape and form descend in an instant. "How dare you attack the dragon I've claimed!"
With all three factions guarding him at the center, the dragon takes the opportunity to sell his services to the players:
"There's a war coming. Need a dragon to protect you?"
