Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The doomed mercenary Kinain, having lost everything due to his brother’s scheme and despairing over the death of his lover, spirals out of control.

While searching for a way to restore the city turned to stone due to his rampage, he heads to the dragon’s palace, enticed by the promise that becoming a dragon’s mate can grant him anything he desires. However,

“You’re quite unlucky, human. You could have died without pain right now.”

The dragon he meets harbors nothing but hatred for humans and plans to torment him in any way possible…

Even stranger is that Kinain, upon seeing the dragon, is reminded of his deceased lover. Despite having no resemblance in appearance or personality, the dragon’s eyes, identical to those of his lover, play a cruel trick of fate.

*

“Don’t mistake spending me rut with you as an invitation to be my mate. You’re merely a plaything to pass the time.”

“I know that. So I hope you’ll soon find a proper mate.”

The dragon finding a good mate and becoming happy was all Kinain wished for in the little time he had left.

“…You want me to find a mate quickly, huh?”

Why did it feel like the dragon’s mu*derous intent had grown even thicker?

“Then you…”

“Ugh, wait!”

“Are you going out to seduce another alpha?”

The dragon gripped Kinain’s wrist tightly, as if to break it, and whispered in a low, gloomy voice.

“No. You can’t do that. Even if I find a mate, you’ll still have to remain here.”

I mean, on a positive note, this novel does satisfy all the BL tropes like Omegaverse, Dragons, Fantasy creatures, magic, western elements etc but on the flipside, the ML here is the least bit likable.

Spoiler

Despite the author prefacing that Dragons, these magnificent, historic creatures, are meant to be "heartless" as gods made them to be plus the ML having gone through tragic experiences in the human realm, makes him more prone to negative emotions and violence.

[collapse]

One thing I'll say is, it did keep me engaged to read till the translated chapters since it built up the "mystery" fairly well, like:

Spoiler
    • What exactly is the MC's background that allows him to be able to read ancient script only readable via magic; which is an ability bestowed upon by the gods in the divine realm to the dragons as a show of favor.
    • I understood that before ML met MC in the human realm, he was used and taken advantage of by the humans, only to later on meet MC and become his dedicated knight/lover to protect him. So what I'm curious is, how did he loose those previous memories of the happy times spent with MC, that now after returning to the spirit realm he only remembers the hatred and pain that he received prior and not anything pertaining to his lover.
    • Why did his black hair return back to silver after returning back to the spirit realm?
    • Who exactly is the big villain? Maybe they're the ones who created the demon realm, spread magical beasts across the spirit and human realms as well as maybe are responsible for ML's selective memory loss of the happy incidents.
    • How's he going to resurrect MC in the finale, because given the current trajectory of the storyline it seems that MC will die just to revive the land which had been turned to stone due to the magic overflow from his brother's/his body using the Dragon's (ML's) one time wish fulfilling ability and ultimate, ML has to either revive him or turn back time to get back to him or get his original body back.
      [collapse]
I did also like the MC, I mean he's a tenacious character who believes in risking his life rather than despairing his fate and circumstances but I have a strong feeling, that for ML's sake, he's definitely going to put himself down more to satisfy him (ML) and...I don't think I'll like how that will pan out (given how everything's going until now) I do want to see this through the end.

So, ig I'll update this review in due time, depending on how the story progresses. <<less
