Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

chapter 2



2 – Reincarnation (1)

The land of the north is originally frozen.

It was said to be a polar region where humans could not live.

In addition, monsters blessed by nature were scattered all over the place.

Unknown threats and cryogenic cold have long been defined as a realm of death where humans can never set foot.

However, it was the anti-dragons with the blood of Dragon Blood that protected the humans of this land.

They made a contract with the dragon.

For generations, as grand dukes of the empire, they have guarded this frozen land and protected and governed the territories.

Half a hundred years.

In this place where a contractor is born every fifty years, in the grand duke’s house.

A person with the destiny of making a contract with a new Guardian Dragon has appeared.

Turb. Turbuck.

Late night.

There was an office worker walking down the street.

The name of the man returning home was Han.

Han. The man’s name, which was very short and seemed insincere, was mixed with various complicated pasts.

“Ha ha.”

Han let out a long sigh.

It was a tiring day.

Today too, I went out early in the morning and was hit and run by my boss and somehow finished my work, and the night was already in full swing.

Overtime after consecutive overtime.

I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve had a proper break lately.

It was past nine o’clock before he finally got off work and was able to go home.

“…I’m going to die, really.”

In front of him returning home with drooping shoulders.

Colorful and luxurious electronic display boards were illuminated.

Han’s gaze was naturally drawn to that color that brightened the darkness.

Advertising was in full swing on the electronic display board.

[New hunter in this land, Yuseong! Everyone please watch!]

[Breaking News! Winter, the white wolf, a modern up-and-comer expected by Korea, finally steps into the S-class dungeon in earnest…!]

“…”

Han, who was staring blankly at the display board, suddenly muttered involuntarily.

“I envy you.”

Others become hunters and become very rich while doing dungeons and hunting.

Han himself works at least overtime at a very ordinary job.

Sure.

He took one of his registration cards out of his pocket.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

[Awakened registration certificate.]

[Name: Han. ]

[Magic aptitude: F class.]

[Possessed Skill: Strengthening F.]

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“…”

Awakened registration certificate.

When I saw it, a sigh escaped that I had barely suppressed.

“What do you do when you awaken your ability? I’m not good enough to become a Hunter.”

At most, I think about what I am going to do when I awaken my ability.

Because his awakening level was only F-class.

Class F meant the level of having a physical body next to that of ordinary people.

In fact, among the Awakened, he was at the lowest rank.

Let alone Orcs, even if only one or two Ratmen came out, they had to retreat.

In fact, the hunter license was not even issued.

The reason was simple.

It was because entering the dungeon was to bring one’s own death.

For that reason, I entered a normal job and led a normal life.

However, even that was never easy for him as an orphan with no trust.

The social system was much more difficult than he thought, and even the most basic structure of the workplace was quite complex.

For that reason, I was excitedly robbed by my boss today and on my way home.

It was then.

Kwaang-!

In an instant, sudden fires and explosions soared through the streets.

“What, what…?”

A really unexpected explosion.

Han was startled by the sudden situation and jumped to his senses.

But before he could adjust to the situation, people started screaming and running through the fire in the street.

“Kyaaa!!”

“Run away! It’s a monster!”

Everyone is terrified.

Mixed with their screams, Han’s throat went limp when he heard that short word.

“What, a monster?”

Could it be that Dungeon Break happened here?

Dungeon break.

A terror-like phenomenon in which magic expands in the middle of the city and dungeons suddenly appear.

It is literally an accident-like situation where you don’t know when or where it will happen.

But, of course, that happened in front of Han, who was on his way home.

[Kwaaak!]

Vicious green-skinned monsters burst forth from the flames with roars.

[Kuwoeouk!!]

Those ferocious things called okra.

“Save, save… Kuck!”

“f*ck!”

Wielding clubs mercilessly on the backs of the fleeing people, they were committing merciless massacres.

Daze at that figure.

Han, who was watching him with his mouth open, uttered a short word involuntarily.

“…This is crazy.”

I never thought that the dungeon break that I had only heard about would happen in front of me.

It is unimaginable misfortune.

He took a sneaky step backwards.

“Hey, you have to run away from here…”

The first thing that came to my mind was the need to run away.

But that was then.

“Ahh! Mother!”

I found a girl who burst into tears and was left alone in the confusion.

[Koowook?]

At that time, one of the orcs strode out into the street and, of course, turned to the crying kid.

“…!!”

Han’s eyes widened.

That kid will die if left alone.

But if I ran there.

In that case, it would be only him who died.

He wasn’t a hunter.

Although his abilities were awakened, he was at the F-class level, which barely exceeded ordinary people, and he couldn’t even show his business card anywhere.

No matter how much he is an Awakener, he is at a level where even an Orc like that can’t win.

But nonetheless.

“Oh sh*t!”

Han gave up all his worries and ran.

As if almost throwing away the Awakener registration card he was holding in his hand, he ran through the streets.

Suddenly, seeing the orc lifting the club high into the sky, he hurriedly rolled on the floor holding the crying child.

Boom!

Thanks to that, the orc’s club only hit the floor of the woman.

“Little boy, run away!”

Han pushed the back of the child he was holding as if snatching it into his arms.

“Ahh!”

Maybe because of his cry.

If not, maybe it’s because of the sudden shock.

The child burst into tears and ran, mingling with the crowd of his tramps.

But the result.

They managed to save the child, but instead, the orc’s eyes turned to Han.

[Kururu-.]

Its burning gaze was fixed on him. The spine is tingling.

‘Kuh…!’

He knows he needs to move, but it was difficult to move. Is that what monsters live for?

[Kurrureu!]

[Chwiik! Acquire!]

There was not one orc.

Those guys who were murdering other people in the neighborhood turned their attention to Han one after another.

“…Ha, ha ha.”

Han let out a dry laugh.

His gaze turned to his surroundings.

I thought it was completely ruined.

“As expected, my fortune is fierce.”

Wedge juice!

Above Han’s head muttering like that.

The orc’s club was struck down.

Pick, and his consciousness was cut off as if the TV screen had turned off.

In front of Han, who closed his eyes like that, he heard someone’s voice unknown.

[3. 2. 1… System synchronization complete.]

[A small number of talent holders. Holder of the Achievement of Guardianship. Update completed.]

[‘Han’s race is the guardian over the horizon, the White Dragon.]

…[Your reward will be updated according to your achievements and your talents. In the new world, achieve the feat of the guardian dragon.]

And–.

How much time has passed.

‘Ah.’

Suddenly, Han Eun.

He realized that he had regained his consciousness.

Steel puck.

Han opened his eyes.

He was soaked in something that smelled soggy and fishy.

A sense of thick liquid.

A sticky foreign substance was covering his entire body.

‘This is…’

My spirit, which had been clouded by the newborn, gradually recovered.

Han instinctively reached out and stirred the inside.

He was confined to something cramped.

It was definitely hard and round.

‘What… What is this?’

It was so narrow that Han couldn’t even move properly.

He struggled for a moment, then slammed the wall with his only moveable head.

Keep. sh*t.

I could feel the place where I hit it gradually cracking and cracking.

‘I can go out. A gap is opening up.’

Han pounded his shell with even more force.

In the end, the shell cracked open with a loud crack, and a large gap opened.

A dazzling light leaked in from outside.

‘Uh, uh!’

Han did everything in his power to close the gap.

The hardship was short-lived.

At last he succeeded in getting out of his captivity.

“@%*&@##!”

“#%@@!!”

“Ohh!”

“Ohhh!”

It was noisy outside.

‘What… What is it?’

Bright and dazzling light.

Confined to a dark place for a long time and taking time to adjust to the light, he narrowed his eyes for a while.

And finally.

What Han could see in his eyes, having adapted to the brightness of the light.

“!@$@%!!”

It was the sight of many people looking down at him and shouting in amazement.

‘Everyone, what is everyone shouting about?’

People were shouting incomprehensible sounds.

Unsure of the reason, Han opened his mouth to ask why.

[Keee!]

‘Uh, uh uh?’

That sound.

He was taken aback because the sound he made with his mouth was not human at all.

Inadvertently looking down at my hand, I was startled.

‘My hand! My hand!’

His hands were not human.

It was a hand with scaly claws that were as white as glass crystal and beautifully colored.
