Please check out the kickstarter for the Webcomic adaptation! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tdod/the-dragon-of-dreams-webtoon-adaptation Also, chapters 10 and 11 are not missing. The novel is being rewritten for the coming webtoon and the chapter count is getting cut with the cleaning of filler and such. -------- Quick Synopsis: A boy reborn as a dragon, exploring the world to try and sate his curiosity, only to come to question EVERYTHING he considered fact. -------- Long Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself.
