My new life as a dragon in another world

Chapter 2: What is a Dragon, anyway!?

Dragons.

Said to be the most fearsome creatures in existence.

Their wrath is immeasurable, and their pride even greater.

And. 

I. Am. The. First!

So, why did it end up like this?

I asked myself as I stared into the lake before me, seeing my reflection.

That shitty god told me I wouldn't be able to see color for a while, but apparently my skin is green, though it looks white to me. I had four small baby appendages meant to be my legs.

A lizard's body, that's what it was.

"I'm not a dragon, I'm just some skinny ass lizard!" I shouted to no one in particular.

I can't believe this shit, I got promised to be a cool and awesome dragon, and then what? I'm not even one!

"But, wait, wasn't there talks about evolution?" I asked myself.

Wouldn't that mean I still have a chance?

And I can live out one of my long time fantasies of being in a shonen world where the protaganist is constantly getting stronger to fight tougher and badder opponents!

Yes, my plan is...I need a plan.

And fast.

I thought as I stare at all the hungry predators surrounding me.

"Uhhh, think of what we talked about...Uh, I think eating food increases ones strengths?"

Wait, wouldn't that just promote the "Kill or be Killed" mentality?

No wonder those scary black wolves are drooling at the sight of me...

When in doubt, time to run!

I ran as fast as I could barely managing to shake off the various beasts after my meat (Heh) before finally finding a comfy looking spot in the forest.

Only for said spot to be the back of a giant turtle.

What is this, some sort of epic fantasy story?

I guess in a way, my life kind of is an epic fantasy story now.

But this isn't the time to talk about that!

I scream in my head as I jump off the turtles back before it could snap me up whole.

"You see that god? I just beat yo ass! Ahahaha! You can never kill me!" I shouted hysterically.

-Meanwhile on Earth-

"Achoo!" A little girl with pink hair sneezed suddenly.

An older boy with a concerned look turned around to check on her.

"Are you alright, sis?" He asked.

"Yeah, I think some weirdo is talking bad about me behind my back though." The girl replied.

"You'd sneeze every second, if that was the case." The boy responded.

The girl sneezed again, and again.

"Maybe it is the case." The boy muttered.

-Back to the main story-

Now then, time to try and find something to eat.

I kind of want meat, but...

I stare at the deep black void where many strange and terrifying sounds can be heard.

It's probably better to become a vegetarian.

I began to look for any plants that may be nearby.

When suddenly, a game like message screen popped up inside my mind.

"Oh, yeah, we did talk about this, didn't we?"

I suggested to allow some game like options to be used, to make things a little easier.

Though only a little.

I look over to a nearby flower, as I debated eating it.

Item: Flower of Endings.

Description: A seemlingly harmless flower that uses it's innocent looks to entice wandering creatures to eat it, after which, it will enter the creatures body and begin secretly digesting the creature, before eventually evolving into the deadly [Flower Demon] flower, which is considered one of the worst things to exist period.

Would you like to eat it? We do not recommend it. Y/N

.....

Ok, a lot more helpful.

I'm glad I didn't eat that, I'd rather not be the meal for some carnivorous plant, especially one that unleashes a dangerous being like that into existence.

I did remember to destroy it, right?

I thought about it for a minute, and decided it was probably fine.

After some more searching, I eventually came upon just the flower I needed!

Item: Flower of exp.

Description: This flower is completely harmless, and exists everywhere. Due to it's ability that allows weak creatures to evolve once, it is forced to adapt to any climate, as well as attempt to reproduce almost as quick as a rabbit.

Would you like to eat it? Highly recommended. Y/N.

I looked towards the sky, before shouting, "You shitty god, your enjoying yourself, aren't you!?"

After venting all of my frustrations, I finally took a bite of the flower.

Suddenly, my head began to ring with various pop up messages.

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

You have leveled up.

About 100x more and that would be what I was getting...At once.

Talk about a headache, right?

Fuck you, that is all.

After basically having my brain split open, I managed to open my eyes to see...

A single message.

You have successfully evolved into...Baba Dragon, level 1!

Great. So I'm basically back where I started.

Welp, guess I'll just go over to that suspicious cave over there and rest for tonight.
