Earth dragon [Nero]
{Angry dragon roars in the distance}
Nope, Nope, NOPE! That sounds like trouble; let's turn around and find another route for now, okay? Oh, hey, reader. Glad to see you around. Care to lend me a hand? All I need is for you to keep reading.
As you might have already noticed, I'm still trapped down this drain hole. It's not so bad once you get used to the smell, but that's the tiniest bit of my worries.
My biggest concern comes in the form of a maze; yeah, this cave is a goddam maze. How do I know, you ask? Well, just take a look at it. There are corridors and turns within a few steps from each other.
If this ain't a maze, then I'm the queen of England or king? Come to wonder, am I a boy or a girl? I have the body shape of a girl as well as boobs around D cup, but when I took a look down there, I noticed lil buddy was still with me.
So that makes me this novel's trap, uh? Fine, I shall take my role as the novel's sexual weirdo. I already have it rough, so being a weirdo on top of that is nothing.
As per the dragons, I fear I will eventually have to engage with one of them. I have been avoiding them like the plague, after all.
It appears I have been put on a losing path, which means that no matter how many turns I take, I will always have to encounter a dragon! But why? Why poor little me?!
I know why; it's all that Writer's fault! Screw you, Misami! [Warning] [The Shield Hero is forbidden from breaking the 4th wall.] Puff like I care, Mrs evil Writer!
[Your show has been halted slightly; please wait while we resolve technical difficulties... What are you? Go back in the monitor! Waaahhh!!]
Shoooo, Now that she is out of the frame, how about I keep going? As I was saying, this is all the Writer's fault, but even if I take charge of it, I cannot change fate, man, so I have to face a dragon? TnT
Fine, I will man up and prepare for it, so here is my plan to take down a dragon! Ready to hear it? We use an air strike shield to push them away and then run for it!
What? That's not cowardice! It's ingenuity! Did you really expect a scrawny-looking kiddo to fight off a dragon? Yeah, right, I'm just going to run away past them all. I'm not a superhero, you know?
{Angry dragon noises approaching.}
Oh crap, here comes one! And it looks so strong! Let me check its stats just in case, Appraisal!

Information: Earth dragon Nero, one of the youngest earth dragons known to humankind, has been cited to be a calm yet dangerous beast. If you ever counter him, you should slowly show your respects and walk away. Nero has no known cases of attacking without good cause, but if he does attack, you're most likely dead; his danger level is beyond S.
AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Why is my first encounter with a dragon such a menace to society?! Ahhh, Mom, come pick me up. I'm beyond scared! I'm shitting bricks right now.
The dragon must have felt my immense fear or something because it turned around to face me as he walked by with his cocky attitude.
He was looking at me like. "What's wrong lil bitch? Weren't you talking smack about running away? Run then ;3" So I did as soon as I thought I was safe, I ran away for my life.
The dragon, however, had other plans; he wanted to toy with me! But why?! Ahhh! Please just let me through! He had caught up with me in a matter of seconds and was now standing right before me.
"What is a child human doing down here?"
I don't know what compelled me to do such a stupid thing as to try to attack it, but before I could even realize it, an air strike shield had already hit the dragon's nose.
"Hey! Calm it down, Human! I don't want to hurt you."
"Shield Prison! Second Shield! Rock Shield!"
"Ugh, you're annoying, I said calm down!"
With a swift look in his eyes, I fell down to my knees and kneeled down before the dragon; my body felt so heavy. It wasn't until then that I realized the dragon had been talking to me, uh? Dragons talk?!
