Synopsis
A young software engineer whose life was plagued by misfortune, mental and physical health problems as well as a whole cocktail of other issues very much outside of his control, finds himself contemplating life while going through his gruesome death, which, strangely enough, he did not even cause! Imagine contemplating it for so long only to end being run over by a drunk driver. Funny how life works.
Regardless, that untimely death results in the usually forgetful man remembering everything. And what's more, retaining that perfect memory of his 28 years of life. Of course that would be all so useless if not for the fact that he manages to wake up, now finding himself as a newborn dragon of all things! From a powerless speck of dust in an uncaring society, in a cruel world, he now finds himself as an absurdly knowledgeable and powerful being, finally able to have a life he wants to live!Yet all is not good... for he is but a whelp in a confusing world with confusing rules and powers, a world no better than his old one, that no amount of fantasy books could truly prepare him for. And there's always the question: Is he a human reborn as a dragon? Or a dragon who remembers once being human. A new body, a new blend of instincts and thought, nature and nurture, a chaos that gets to decide who and what he will end up being.
So in more simple terms this is going to be a progression fantasy of a human turned dragon using the absurd amount of knowledge (a lot of it being trivia) that he acquired coupled with the physical and magical talents natural to his draconic body in order to make a good life for himself and eventually others, while struggling with his identity and his continuously changing mentality.This story will start slow and focus quite a bit on that mental aspect and how a new body can threaten to alter his morals. There will be introspection, a lot of inner monologues, experimentation, world building and most importantly: growth of all kinds! Oh, also, no MC ain't getting human transformation any time soon or maybe at all. This is a dragon story and by God it will have dragons in it!
