Summary:

I just want to give up, but what the hell is the End Demon Dragon?

Siegel looked at the five copies of the "Royal Daily Corsica" in his hands, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear.

Players! Give me back my peaceful life!

First image: "The filthy four-legged lizard and his lowly kobold retinue have occupied the border."

The second image: "The evil dragon and his undead army have broken through the northern defenses and are approaching the inland."

The third card: "The brutal scourge of the North, the evil dragon Siegel's cannon fire is ravaging our northern provinces!"

Fourth card: "Despair! Steel Tyrant Siegel's mechanized army has crushed the Southern Magical Alliance of Kosia!"

Fifth image: "By the gods! The shadow of the End Dragon is spreading toward the capital!"

Meanwhile, the players are eager for the Northern Calamity, the Steel Tyrant, the End Dragon, and Siegel to reach his loyal capital.

……

"Players, you've really caused this dragon a lot of trouble!"

Years later, Siegel sat on the throne and smiled bitterly.

This book is also known as "Players, You've Really Made This Dragon Suffer!", "This Dragon Just Wants to Stay Home, But Players Are Manually Creating an Industrial Revolution and Conquering the World", and "This Dragon Just Wants to Lay Down, But Players Have Lifted Him to the Throne".

(The author received guidance from a true dragon when he was a player, so this is not just random speculation.)

Chapter 1 Test (Please continue reading)

Siegel is now facing the greatest crisis of his life.

It wasn't because a foolish knight came to the dragon's nest, wanting to slay the evil dragon and save the princess.

It wasn't because they were being targeted by those spellcasters who lusted after dragon bodies.

It's because... his bed is too small, and he can't sleep in it anymore.

Inside the spacious and brightly lit dragon's nest, a young dragon with a jet-black body and a wingspan of seven meters stood facing the stone bed covered with animal hides beneath it, wiggling its rear end in defiance.

No matter how he adjusts his posture, the tip of his tail or half of his wing always droops out, hurting his scales.

"No! I really can't sleep anymore!"

Siegel got up, utterly desperate.

Where could he find a perfect stone bed that was the right size, had a smooth surface, and even a slight curve?

"It's all that damned Earth Demon Bear's fault!"

Siegel cursed angrily, his breath smoldering.

"It's one thing to provoke me, but after I've swallowed it, it still won't let me rest. How did it manage to make me grow taller?!"

As Siegel finished speaking, he seemed on the verge of tears.

He should have realized that as a young dragon, eating the flesh of high-level magical beasts would definitely increase its size.

"Sigh~ What's done is done, let's eat first!"

Siegel sighed, unable to sleep, and dragged his heavy tail to a corner.

There stood a large, double-door refrigerator whose style clashed drastically with his.

Siegel opened the refrigerator door and took out the last piece of Earth Demon Bear hind leg meat.

That's right, Siegel is a time traveler.

In his past life, he was a test-taker in a small town on Earth. He started taking tests from a young age, and then... he successfully tested himself to death.

Fortunately, he successfully joined the army of transmigrators, became a dragon, and even obtained a system called the Fourth Calamity.

The system will provide Siegel with a minimum living allowance of 4000 points every month.

These points have purchasing power equivalent to RMB from the time travel era, and can be used to purchase items from Earth in the 21st century, as well as some items from this world, in the system's shop.

It was thanks to the system's basic allowance that Siegel managed to survive the weakest stage of a fledgling dragon, instead of becoming a malnourished young dragon or starving to death.

Based on their inherent bloodline memories, the extraordinary system in this world is divided into seven levels.

Although Siegfried is a young dragon, he is stronger than ordinary young dragons and has already reached the fourth rank.

However, in this world, the fourth rank is only an mediocre level.

However, as a dragon, Siegel has enormous potential.

By eating and sleeping and living long enough, one can reach the legendary sixth level, a level that is difficult for humans to attain.

With a little more effort, it's not impossible to reach the legendary seventh rank.

But Siegel had already had enough of getting himself into trouble in his past life.

All he wants in this life is to give up and stay peacefully in the Dragon Nest as a shut-in dragon.

Isn't it wonderful to hide in the dragon's nest, enjoying air conditioning, drinking cola, and watching short videos?

Why do we have to go outside and fight to the death with those knights and spellcasters?

The princess they stole was unusable, and the hard gold coins were uncomfortable to sleep in.

“Tsk tsk”

After finishing the roasted bear meat, Siegel used his enormous dragon claw to unscrew a miniature two-liter bottle of Pepsi.

The sound of bubbles echoed continuously in the empty dragon's nest.

Siegel raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and poured the bottle of cola, which looked like a medicine bottle to him, into his mouth.

"Thump thump thump... hiccup!"

Siegel let out a satisfied burp, 100% carbonated.

"Awesome! A small Coke after a meal, pure bliss!"

After sighing, Siegel wanted to take another sip, just like he had in his previous life.

But only a drop of black industrial sweet liquid flowed from the small bottle, which was a drop in the ocean compared to the enormous dragon's mouth.

That's it?

Siegel shook the bottle and smacked his lips.

Savoring the lingering taste in his mouth, Siegel opened the system shop interface, ready to buy another bottle.

Dragon Claw tapped the illusory shop panel, and a red pop-up appeared, delivering a blow to Siegel.

Purchase failed!

[Current points remaining: 2.12]

Siegel's eyes widened instantly, becoming as big as copper bells.

"No, why did my welfare payment disappear again?"

Siegel raised his dragon claw and, disbelieving, flipped through the purchase records.

He doesn't recall buying much!

Seeing the rows of meat and daily necessities in his purchase history, Siegel fell silent.

In recent years, to avoid trouble, he has rarely gone hunting and has relied entirely on online shopping to make a living.

But things are different now.

He was a young dragon, still in the growth stage, and his appetite was nothing compared to when he was a fledgling dragon. His meager allowance was barely enough to fill his teeth.

"If we go out hunting again, we'll probably be discovered."

Siegel vigorously wiped his face with his dragon claw to calm himself down before looking at the corner of the system.

"How about... we ask some fellow Earthlings for help?"

He wasn't referring to posting online as a cyber beggar, but rather to releasing a game and summoning players.

This is the true function of the system and the correct way to earn points.

Players can exchange the money they spend in-game for points at a 1:1 ratio with him.

The unpredictability and chaotic nature of players is well-known.

Siegel had never dared to use it before, after all, the word "chaotic" and "evil" were simply inadequate to describe the beings that were players.

Once he's let in, he probably won't be able to live a peaceful life anymore.

"However... if we conduct a test and send in a few dozen people, we should be able to control it."

Siegel stared at the system panel, his golden dragon eyes gleaming.

The Blackrock Mountains where he lived were inhabited by several demi-human races and magical beasts, adjacent to human towns, and surrounded by many fourth-tier beings.

The player's starting race is only a kobold, which is quite weak. They don't even have a Tier 1 race, so they probably won't be able to cause any trouble.
