The Sacred Dragon With Maxed-Out Strength and Speed

[A Holy Dragon Who's Wired Wrong, Can't Resist Being a Pain, and Loves Sneaking into Bed] × [The World's Strongest, Stoic, Jealous Lovesick Hero]

After a century, Hux finally became the mount of the first Holy Hero in history. After enduring countless years of humiliation, it successfully outlasted the human.

What a cause for celebration! At last, Hux was free!

That night, the Holy Dragon, newly free again, got drunk in front of the first hero's temple stele. Hugging the sword the hero had used, it sang at the top of its lungs, closed its eyes, and managed to drink itself to death.

When it opened its eyes again, Hux found itself lying in a glittering golden cavern. In front of it, a still-young hero, shackled and dressed in rags, was being offered to it as a sacrifice.

Hux: This time, it wouldn't be fooled by the hero again. Hux would never fall for it!

So when someone dragged the hero away and beat him for failing to calm the dragon's fury, Hux covered its ears.

When someone mocked the hero's humble origins and tossed his mother's only keepsake into a ravine, Hux yawned.

When someone decided to give the hero to a cruel lord as a plaything, Hux woke up.

Hux: Hm? What? A plaything? You mean someone I can kiss, cuddle, and toy with whenever I want? Now that's got my attention!

Heaven knew how much it loved the hero's silky golden hair. But back then, the hero never let it touch him!

Before becoming a hero, Lind was just an orphan from a wandering city-state.

A poor boy from the lowest depths of the City of Calamity, he carried a long sword and wore a black cloak. For a chance at survival, he crossed the demonic hell of the demon race and set out for the human holy city. But before he could reach his destination, his traveling companions captured him and sent him to the dragon's table.

Lind, a fragile, helpless, taciturn hero who could nevertheless fight like a demon, slowly drew his sword...

The Holy Dragon, with blood-red slit pupils and claws as sharp as armor, crouched before him, curled its tail around him, and poked his hair with a claw. Its deep dragon tongue rumbled:

"Come here. I want to hold you while I sleep."

Lind sat back down with a thump. "?"

That night, Hux slept happily while cuddling its hero figurine. Heh heh!

After enrolling at the largest academy in the demon realm's holy city, the hero from a faraway land and his dragon took first place in the academy tournament. From then on, the title of First Holy Hero became famous throughout the school.

Lind became an outstanding senior admired by everyone, while his dragon... became the most troublesome monster at the academy.

The Demon Codex says that Holy Dragons are kings of monsters and the source of hell. Their claws can tear through time and space, their dragonfire can scorch the heavens and earth, and their dragon tongue can command the gods. They are the source of calamity for all dragons throughout the ages.

Lind closed the book and looked out the window at the dragon, which was everywhere, chasing cats and teasing dogs, picking on familiars, rolling around in the backyard of the greatest mage on the continent and refusing to admit it had done anything wrong, and insisting on carrying a little pillow in its mouth to sleep in his dorm at night...

Lind: It's all fake, every word of it (smiling and waving.jpg)

How could his dragon possibly be a Holy Dragon?

Content warnings:

1. The hero had a crush on the dragon in his previous life. The love interest has both a dragon and a human form. This story contains lots of side characters and flashbacks to their previous lives.

2. The romance and plot are split 40/60. The hero and his dragon are the strongest. A sweet, satisfying story with an ensemble cast and a mash-up of Japanese-style RPG settings.

Theme: Love can cross time and play out again and again.
