I'm really not a dragon.

Welcome to the Toril Dragon Growth Guide. May every little dragon, good or evil, grow up strong and healthy.

Inside Sword Coast Prison,

As Suen was pondering how to get the black bread into her stomach, she suddenly heard a powerful roar in her ear.

The sound was somewhere between a snake and a lizard, like the roar of a prehistoric behemoth, but also like some kind of ancient language of its own.

What the hell is making that noise?

Could it be that someone has come to break us out of prison?

Su En became alert and quickly crouched down beside the rusty iron fence, peering outside.

Since he transmigrated to this other world, he has witnessed no fewer than ten prison breaks.

Harpists come to rescue the hero who was wrongfully imprisoned, adventurer parties come to rescue his members, and evil mages come to the aid of his allies, and so on.

As for why Suen didn't take advantage of the chaos to escape—escaping was impossible, not to mention whether he could pick the lock.

The two groups started fighting, with fireballs flying everywhere. The golden light from the Holy Slash illuminated the night as if it were daytime, showing no regard for the lives of others.

If Su En had been a little more decisive, he would be dead by now.

"Please don't let them fight!"

Suen prayed silently and looked outside.

At this moment, in the prison corridor, law enforcement officers patrolled with torches, longswords and copper-plated wooden clubs hanging at their waists, their polished armor glowing red in the firelight.

The prisoners, their hands and feet bound in cold iron shackles, were restless and noisy.

Huh? Is no one going to break us out of prison?

What was the sound he heard?

Suen listened intently, the primal and desolate roar growing louder and louder.

[Host detected as not yet proficient in dragon language, suspected of being supported by an inferior race.]

[Installing language modules... Kobold, Gnoll, Common Human...]

[Hoo! Hoo?! ​​Welcome to the Toril Dragon Growth Guide.]

Amidst the cacophony of roars, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Suen immediately perked up.

As a hard-working man who is well-versed in online novels, he understands exactly what this means!

My cheat! Why are you so late?!

"Dark Blue! Add points! Max it out!"

[An abnormality was detected in the host's pupil, suspected to be a developmental problem caused by malnutrition. The spectrum has now been reduced to the three primary colors.]

[Host: Su En]

[Young Dragon Stage, Age: One Month]

[Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 11, Constitution 9, Perception 13, Intelligence 10, Charisma 17 (-8)]

[Skill: Perception +1]

Challenge Level: 0

[Young dragon separated from its pack! Though you have lost the protection of your fathers, the blood of a top predator flows in your veins. To obtain more nutrients, enter the age of whelps and begin the hunt!]

[Mission: Hunt a herd of ferocious wild boars, 0/3]

[Reward: Dragon-Specific Muscle Growth Agent.]

A panel slowly appeared in view, covered with countless claw-like characters.

Suen discovered that she could understand it all.

Is the "Dragon-Specific Muscle Growth Agent" a veterinary drug?

Well, if, and I mean if, a human were to receive this injection, would their head become pointed?

and,

Could this lone fledgling be referring to him?

Although he has only been in this world for less than thirty days, he is definitely not a dragon!

"System, are you mistaken? I'm human! Can this potion be used on humans?"

[Deep in thought: The host claims to be human and inquires whether the potion can be used on humans. I should inform him that the potion contains dragon blood components, and that humans who consume it may experience physical changes such as growing scales and horns. Also, considering that the host may have been domesticated by humans and identifies as such, I should correct his perception and inform him of the degrading nature of the human race.]

[Considering that my host might be a copper dragon who enjoys joking, I should respond to his jokes with jokes of my own.]

[Answer: Hahaha, of course humans can get injected! The word "deaf" sounds similar to "dragon," which is quite amusing.]

The system popped up a line of text,

Haha, Su En was genuinely amused and exasperated. What kind of idiotic AI is this?

Miss Doubao, don't think I won't recognize you just because you're wearing a different mask.

After calming down,

He was forced to re-examine an issue he had been ignoring all along, which was clearly displayed on the screen: "Guide to Dragon Growth".

Dragons are not human.

In other words, this thing is for dragons.

Is it possible that this system transmigrated to the wrong body? It was supposed to transmigrate into a dragon's body, but for some reason ended up in this human's body?

The more Su En thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

That would be terrible! First of all, let's not even talk about whether he can use the reward.

There aren't even any living, four-legged pigs in this lousy prison.

What kind of hunting am I supposed to do?!

"I want to change my task! System, give me the easiest task!"

[Deep in thought: The host has requested a change of mission, perhaps because it thinks the mission is too difficult, or perhaps it is worried about its own combat capabilities. I should inform it that the system does not have the authority to change missions, and encourage it to hunt bravely!]

[Answer: My dear baby dragon, you are the best! We dragons carry the might of the dragon! As long as you appear in front of a herd of wild boars, they will be too scared to move. Hunt with confidence!]

If I were a dragon, that would be fine too.

But I'm really not a dragon! And there aren't any wild boars in this lousy prison!

You are the dragon.

This buggy system is exhausting!

Oh well, I guess I'll just consider it as having someone to chat with.

Suen has a good attitude. After all, she's already in prison, so how much worse can things get?

Thinking back to her imprisonment, Su En felt a surge of resentment.

A month ago, bodies were discovered in the Lower Town of Sword Bay. The victims were all girls under the age of 16 or 7, including the daughter of a member of parliament.

The nature of the case is extremely serious.

So, what does this have to do with Su En?

The thing is, because the murder case has caused widespread panic, every household has ordered their daughters not to go out at night.

There are always exceptions.

A young and beautiful noblewoman secretly ran away at night to meet with Suen, and her family found out about it.

Seeing that her beloved daughter was about to be devoured by the young scoundrel, she decided to find a way to get Su En implicated as a suspect in a serial murder case.

Suen was just a perfume apprentice working in the upper city. She had no money or power, so naturally she ended up in the job.

This time, it seems they were set up by nobles from another world.

Suen went from initial shock and anger to indifference and apathy.

He wasn't in a hurry because he was only a suspect, not the murderer.

There is a God of Justice in this world.

By the time of the final trial, the judges and law enforcement officers will probably realize they arrested the wrong person, and may even have to pay him damages for defamation.

As for that damned nobleman, old Deng,

Once I'm out here, I'll make sure your daughter calls me Dad.

Su En lay on the ground, about to close his eyes and rest, when he suddenly saw a line of words floating across the light screen.

[Warning: The area where the host lives is infested with numerous hill giants. Please be careful to avoid them.]

[Note: Although the Hill Giants are the weakest and most foolish of the giant races, a level 5 adventurer party is still required to defeat them. Please avoid danger as soon as possible.]

Suen groaned, clutching his forehead, as countless pieces of knowledge related to the hill giant flooded his mind.

The so-called hill giants are the shortest, most rude, and most stupid of the giants. While apes have an intelligence score of 6, hill giants only have 5, making them unable to understand language—truly a disgrace to the giants.

It is often these fools who are most dangerous to the young dragons. When other giants capture a dragon cub, they usually think of enslaving or taming it.

The hill giant only thinks about eating.

Suen tensed up for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. This lousy prison was barely enough to hold a person, let alone a hill giant.

Suddenly, the iron gate at the end of the prison corridor opened.

A group of law enforcement officers walked into the firelight. The leader had dark skin, silver hair, a slender neck like a swan, and eyes like blooming violets.

The worn-out half-armor couldn't conceal her supple waist and full breasts; she was undoubtedly a beauty, yet her gait and demeanor carried the rigid discipline of a soldier.

Suen had a pretty good impression of these people. The leader was named Lysera Spidershadow, an elf, a dark-skinned, white-haired drow elf.

Could it be that these are the Hill Giants mentioned in the system's notification?

Lysera Spider Shadow stood with one hand behind her back in front of the cell door and slowly spoke, "Sun Sidler, an apprentice at the Odelle Perfume Shop in the Upper City of Baldur's Gate, is imprisoned for his involvement in the Lower City serial murders. Am I right?"

"Yes, sir!" Suen nodded. "Any results from the investigation? May I leave now?"

Lysera Spider Shadow gave a wink to the enforcers behind her.

The two law enforcement officers took out the lock and opened the cell door where Suen was imprisoned.

Ah! Soon we'll be able to breathe in the sweet air of the Sword Bay.

Freedom, how wonderful!

"Clatter!"

A pair of cold iron hand shackles were placed on Su En's wrists.

"?"

"Wait, what's going on?" Su En asked, puzzled. Why were they changing his handcuffs to larger ones?

The law enforcement officer smiled good-naturedly, "We'll change your cell; from a regular cell to a single cell for serious offenders."

"No, you must have made a mistake! Why has my cell been upgraded?!"

“It is like this, Mr. Sun Sidler,” Lysera Spider Shadow said solemnly, “so far, the murderer has not been found, but strangely, after we put all the suspects in jail, no more dead bodies appeared. In other words, the murderer is very likely among you.”

Damn, isn't this wrongly accusing an innocent person?

Is it possible that the killer, seeing the situation escalate, became too afraid to continue?

Lisela Spider Shadow said meaningfully, "I completely understand your doubts. So, before this, we hired a high-ranking divination mage to interpret your past and determine your inclinations towards good and evil. Guess what kind of past the divination mage saw in you?"

Su En was about to explain when she suddenly remembered something.

He traveled from another time, so what did the prophecy mage see—his fate or that of Suen Sidler?

Lysera Spider Shadow said softly, "The man named Sun Sidler is dead. But before my eyes, Sun Sidler can still walk, jump, and talk."

At this point, the two human enforcers tensed their muscles, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads and clinging to their brows. They gripped their warhammers or longswords, the pure golden light of the Holy Slash flowing across their weapons, and looked at Suen as if he were a monster in human skin!

It looked as if if Su En misspoke even one word, two weapons would come crashing down on him and slice him into minced meat.

Su En immediately cowered and knelt before the Supreme Saint Zhan.

"I swear to God, I am not the murderer."

"May the Dark Maiden protect you!" Lysera Spider Shadow waved her hand. "Take her away!"

Two law enforcement officers, one on each side, supported Suen as they left the cell.

"Clang!"

As the anti-magic adamantite door closed again, the loyal cell of serious criminal number 3 welcomed its new owner.
