Somewhere in the desert, a dragon egg stirs... Once a physicist with a promising academic career, Drew is suddenly reborn into a new world full of deadly creatures, where every day is a fight for survival. Winning fights is a lot easier if you have the powers of an apex predator at your disposal...but it'll be a long journey to reach that point. A freshly-hatched dragon can only do so much. Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a more thoughtful and creative solution might be possible? But bloodless pacifism isn't exactly an option in a world of obligate carnivores, and the choice is often one between eating and being eaten. If a life of quiet contemplation and study is still within reach, it will be a long road to get there. Re: Dragonize is a LitRPG progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative.
