A mysterious photo went viral on the internet. Late at night, a little girl was chatting with her classmates in front of the computer. "Lisa, are you going on that field trip on Sunday? All of them are going." The little girl typed quickly.

"Nope. Jack asked me today to go out for ice cream with him on Sunday." A reply popped up on the computer screen.

The little girl froze for a moment, saddened inside. She had always had a crush on Jake. She immediately texted back. "Oh really?! But why would Jack ask you out? I thought you both weren't getting along."

"I don't know, he said he wanted to tell me some secret. I don't know what he's up to, and lately he's been asking me about some dragons. What a weirdo!"

The little girl sighed with faint relief. "It's probably because he's into history and mythology and stuff. Your dad is an archaeologist, he must be asking you about these things because of that."

"Maybe! But don't you think Jack is handsome? My heart was still pounding when he asked me out the other day."

The little girl couldn't help but clench her own fists and quickly replied. "No. I think Bruce is much more handsome than Jack is."

"Geez! That's a pop star, of course he is handsome."

"Are you sure you don't want to go? I'll give you lots of chocolates if you come." The little girl continued to try.

"Oh, that's such a shame, but I've already promised Jack. I don't go back on my words. Oh! My mommy told me to go to bed. Good night, Alice."

Alice could not help but clench her fists in hatred. "Good night! Lisa!" Closing the chat box, she froze for a few minutes before coming back to her senses and cursing. Damn you Sharon!

She opened Google, typed in dragons, and started searching. Since Jack was so curious about dragons, she herself should have to be very knowledgeable about the damn dragons so he wouldn't have to go back to that Lisa yet. Jack was Alice's obsession.

She looked at web page after web page. She got a notebook and wrote down some of the information. That's when she opened another website, it was a forum and at the top, there was a headline, "Giant dragon spotted on aeroplane."

Feeling a bit curious, she clicked on it, and suddenly a clear photo appeared on her screen. This photo was obviously taken on an aeroplane. Through the window of the plane, a golden dragon was on the white clouds with its teeth and claws spread out in a hideous manner. It was as if the surrounding passengers had been collectively struck by magic, their mouths were wide open and they looked terrified.

There were words below. Little Alice read quickly: Unbelievable as I know it is, this picture is indeed real, on God. Our plane was crossing the clouds over the Amazon forest when we suddenly encountered a giant dragon, a seven-metre long dragon covered in golden scales and so beautifully built that it was a work of God.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Fortunately, the giant dragon did not crash with us and flew away immediately. When the plane landed at the airport, we were taken to a place by the British secret service's who asked us to keep it a secret and delete all the photos of the dragon.

Of course I have no comment on where this photo came from. I only feel that the public has a right to know the truth of the matter. I think the army has secretly set out to hunt down this giant dragon. This may have been the last of its species in the world ......

Alice watched in silence, her heart fluttering. There were many more messages below. She looked at them one by one. Skipping over a few that didn't make sense. She realised that many people had spotted the giant dragon. Some were vacationing on a South American beach when they suddenly heard a violent explosion from afar, and after a few minutes, a golden shadow fell into the sea.

After reading it, Alice closed the page and ran towards her parents' room.

"Oh! Hanson, oh! You're so strong. Harder! Hanson, oh! God! Oh!" The whole bedroom gave off a lustful odour. A sudden sharp knock on the door interrupted the coital commotion. "Mommy Mommy! Open the door! Open the door."

"Oh Damn, get dressed." A male voice said in a low voice. The sound of a heavy sigh came from inside at once.

A few minutes later, a lazy blonde young woman in a robe opened the bedroom door and said, "Oh! My baby, why are you still up so late? Didn't I tell you to be sure to go to bed by ten o'clock?"

"Mommy, do you think there are dragons in this world?"

"Oh! Is that all you have to say? Did you see a Megalosaurus! Well, of course there are, haven't I told lots of stories about dragons before?"

"I've grown up, and I'm not talking about fairy tales, I'm talking about real dragons, living in the world."

"There probably are, but no one has ever found one."

The young girl replied, "Oh! Mommy, you're not going to lie to me, I saw a picture of a dragon today. It was taken on an aeroplane, and a lot of people saw it." The little girl replied.

"Alice, These are all fake, they are all made by the computer. Okay baby, now go to sleep! You have class tomorrow." The blonde woman replied, not noticing the complex and confused look on her husband Hanson's face.

"Okay mommy, good night!" With a look of disbelief evident on her face, Alice exited the room.

Brandon opened his eyes slightly, a golden light flickering in them. He slowly got up, his massive body standing at once. He felt the energy rushing through his body, as if a terrifying power was being born within. He felt ecstatic.

He surveyed his body and found that he had grown a lot. His body, previously around eight metres long, now was ten metres. He had finally said goodbye to his juvenile stage and entered the growth stage of a dragon.

In the past, he didn't know the reason for his rapid growth and shrinkage but now he had knowledge from those memories.

While still a minor, a dragon's strength would continue to grow as its body would grow. Even if this giant dragon was lazy and slept every day, when he would become an adult, his strength would at least reach the lesser heavenly level, with a body length of about twenty metres or so. But of course it was slightly different for each type of dragon.

However, if the dragon cultivated hard, then the growth period of the dragon would rapidly shrink, and its size would always be maintained to match its strength. The amount of energy needed in maintaining the condensed tissues would be far more than that of an adult dragon.

It would also require a huge amount of extra energy to stimulate the growth of cells and accelerate the body's development. In other words, the cultivation speed would be far slower than an adult dragon.
