Dante - A Dragon Isekai [DROPPED]

A Dragon

Hello! :O

This is the first chapter of this story, and there is a few things that I must write here.

I am NOT a native english speaker, so If there's any mistake on the gramatical side of things, don't be shy and comment on it.

I'm afraid that I'm also not an good writer, and plot holes may happen, and if you notice one forming, tell me so I can erase it from existence.

And now, the chapter :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My head hurts..."

...

"Where am I?"

...

"It's cold."

...

"I can't breathe..."

...

"Air... I need air."

...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A sound reminiscing that of a heart beating echoed through the dark and empty void. I felt the sound, I didn't hear it. I don't have a physical body, nor do I have a clue on what am I, all I know is that I can feel an heart.

Some time passed, and now, I can feel something breathing. Lungs expanding and contracting every now and then. I felt flesh growing arround thin pieces of a hard material. And then, something akin to knifes growing from the flesh, piercing through it, drawing blood.

I don't know what was happening, and I lost count of time. This seemed to happen in a fraction of a second, but at the same time, it took years. I can't describe everything I felt, but these are the most important things.

And suddenly, I felt an body. But... I could control it. The dark void that engulfed my vision became brighter, although I still couldn't see anything, I felt that I was... inside something.
I tried to use my newly found arm, which responded to my commands, and as I tried to move it, with extreme difficulty, I pierced through what seemed was something that cracked, and when I removed it, a brief ray of light shone through the crack.

I continued to pierce through the material that trapped me, and then, it broke into large pieces, to wich made me jump out of the thing that kept me locked for all those years, and at the same time, for just a fraction of a second.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The light blinded me for a split second, and before my eyes even adjusted, I felt a sharp pain on my chest, and I fell down to all fours. I'm breathing... so that means I'm alive. But why does breathing hurts? I mean, it's only newborn babies who cry at the birth, right? The pain in my chest suddenly began to fade, and my eyes adjusted themselves after a while too, and what I saw was not what I expected. To be fair, I expected many things, waking up in a coma, being on hell, or any other thing. But I did not expect to appear on the entrance of a cave.

I gazed at my hands, trying to see if it had any sign of blood from the continuos digging I made a few seconds ago, but... they weren't there. Rather, an interessing pair of claws, associated with an scaly paw. I panicked for a bit, thinking there was an lizard or reptile right below me, but when I looked to my side, I saw that... I wasn't human.
