Reincarnated as a Shadow Dragon

An 18 year old shut-in finally leaves his house for the first time in, what seemed to be, years. He was kicked out of his home by his parents and was left to wander the streets alone until he can find a job and a stable life. But unbeknownst to him, that would be the last day of his life. Not everyone's story ends with a happy ending. But that isn't the end just yet. As he is reincarnated as a shadow dragon, the last shadow dragon of its kind. But this particular shadow dragon is different. More intelligent from the rest.

As I stab my claws into the Earth and take the landing, I look around with caution integrated into my every move. This time, I'm not going to get thrown out of my home. I'll find somewhere to live, and I'll become the strongest there ever was. With or without resistance.

I'll create a new world, one without humans. They're too greedy for their own good, I want them all gone from my visions of a perfect world. One that only houses dragons and creatures, no humans whatsoever. Those who resist will be slaughtered effortlessly.

Taking a few steps towards the nearby forest, I notice a village of people who look like bipedal lizards. They all wielded spears, and they wore armour. Their teeth were incredibly sharp, and they looked like a force to be reckoned with. But, they don't look like they can kill me.

They're still predators at heart, but hopefully they know when to run from something they can't deal with. So, I approach the tribe with a confident strut. I want to see what these lizardmen do regarding me. Perhaps they'll run, or they'll try to talk to me as if I were some kind of alien.

However, as I approached and the lizardmen saw me, they all immediately ran into their homes. However, some stayed on the frontlines with their spears pointed towards me. But they were trembling, they couldn't kill anything like that. They probably went after smaller prey, like sheep or beetles or something.

"W-What business do you have here," One of the Lizardmen spoke with a trembly voice. It peaked up and down constantly as he spoke with sweat rolling down his face. Honestly, I'm surprised these guys can even sweat despite being visually reptilian. "We're t-the tribe of the Lizardmen, state y-your purpose or be prepared to d-die!"

<You want to kill me,> A smirk appears on my face as I approach the Lizardman, towering over him. <But your shaking in your boots, you can't even look up at me, can you?>

He gulps which makes me smirk even more. I take his spear and crush it in my hand before giving him the broken pieces back, <See, your weaponry doesn't even work. I'm surprised you even lasted this long.>

<However, I have a proposition to make,> I take a few steps back before announcing. <You Lizardmen, and me, A dragon. We're not so different, you and I. Together, we can make the ultimate kingdom, one that rules over everything to ever exist in this world.>

Clicking my tongue, I look at their dull weaponry and armour, <I can create you new weaponry and armour, maybe I'll even teach you how to use magic. How does that sound? Make me your leader, and I'll lead all of you to glory.>

Despite thinking for so long how I was going to interact with these guys, it's not like they have a choice on whether they want me as their leader or not. If they decline, I'll just kill them. Hopefully, they'll accept as I've had enough with people ignoring me or attacking me. This time, it'll be my turn to strike back.

"After a few minutes of t-talking," One of the Lizardmen speaks up after talking to the other Lizardmen. "You, the ultimate being, have been crowned LEADER of the Lizardmen."

Then, all of the soldiers bow down to me as I look down at their pitiful shapes. I swear, I am going to make these guys the best soldiers there ever were. Then, we'll rule the world with no questions asked.

Thank you for reading this chapter! I'm sorry it took a week to create, I took a little break from storywriting as it was nearing Christmas and I had a lost a little bit of motivation.

Thank you for understanding!
