Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template

When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer human, but a beast covered in scales and horns, and even a red dragon known for its cruelty and tyranny.

Irresponsible parents, brothers fighting amongst themselves, and the dragon slayer not far away are already eyeing them covetously.

Fortunately, I can extract the biological templates from the Monster Hunter world, the perpetual motion organs of Safi'jiiva, the immortal heart of the Black Dragon, and the control of all elements of Alatreon... Watch how I use a divine move to turn the tide against all odds!

Wait a minute!! What is this fat guy?

Chapter One: The Red Dragon

Looking westward from the human realm, one can see a long, winding road. Following this road further and further, one will enter a vast and boundless wilderness.

This is the territory of monsters, with boundless wilderness, towering mountains, vibrant forests, and inland lakes that stretch as far as the eye can see.

A black-feathered, red-beaked eagle swept across the vast plains, its golden pupils fixed on the red and green grass below, searching for prey to fill its belly, before finally landing in an unnamed mountain range.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, near the summit of the highest peak, you can see a large cave with wisps of smoke drifting out and a pungent sulfurous odor filling the air.

Chiriel Solaris Burning Nest... lies quietly in her nest. As a young red dragon, she laid her first clutch of eggs 22 months ago, and now it is time for them to hatch.

Not far in front of her was a fire pit surrounded by rocks, where the unburnt charcoal emitted high temperatures, baking the four giant, crimson eggs around her and keeping the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius.

Just then, one of the oval eggs suddenly shook, followed by a crisp cracking sound. Spiderweb-like cracks then appeared, and a round head poked out from inside.

…………

The darkness, the cramped space, and the feeling of being tightly bound from all sides caused the young man to instinctively struggle.

Pushing his limbs against the ground and forcefully pushing his head upwards, the not-so-sturdy barrier shattered instantly, the surroundings suddenly relaxed, and a unique scent filled his nostrils.

He opened his eyes somewhat groggily, only to find himself in an unfamiliar environment. He was surrounded by dark brown stone walls, and in front of him lay a crimson "mountain range".

As he gradually regained consciousness, and when he could clearly see the shape of that "mountain range," his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart almost stopped from shock.

That's not a mountain range at all; it's a ferocious beast covered in scales and horns.

It had a body length of over 17 meters and a wingspan of nearly 23 meters. Its body was covered with crimson scales that shone with a metallic luster, and a pair of backward-curving horns grew on its head. It was clearly a red dragon that only appeared in fantasy stories, and it was staring intently at me.

This is where?

Who am I?

What happened?

The three questions of life came to mind. Seeing that the red dragon in front of him seemed to be getting impatient, its charcoal-red pupils narrowed slightly, and its mouth split open, revealing snow-white fangs.

In that instant of inspiration, a powerful impulse suddenly surged within him, and he immediately roared:

"Sol Heliozog Esmerald Sunfire Throat..."

As the dragon's true name was roared out, the young man instantly felt the somewhat tense atmosphere around him ease, and the ferocious red dragon in front of him lazily lay down again.

Only then did he realize that he had been reborn as a red dragon cub, and the red dragon in front of him was the mother of this body.

However, this discovery did not bring him any peace of mind.

As the most powerful and brutal of the five chromatic dragons, red dragons have never shown any affection for family. If it weren't for Tiamat's punishment for carelessly abandoning dragon eggs, probably more than 90% of red dragons would choose to ignore the eggs they lay.

This situation also exists among other five-colored dragons, to the point that the hatching rate of five-colored dragon eggs is far lower than that of metal dragon eggs.

Even if they successfully hatch, they don't take good care of their offspring. They often just give them a perfunctory treatment and then drive the cubs out of the nest.

This results in an extremely low survival rate for the five-colored dragon cubs. The survival rate for blue dragons is around 50%, while that for green, white, and black dragons is around 40%, and the survival rate for red dragon cubs is less than 30%.

Recalling this information he had seen somewhere in his past life, the young man shuddered and became even more cautious.

Covered in wet slime, Thor crawled out of the eggshell and began to examine his body.

It is about a meter long, about the size of a small foal, with a big head and a short neck. Its body is covered with a layer of tender red scales, and two soft, fleshy wings are attached to its back.

Even a creature like a true dragon, which is at the top of the food chain, is still very weak when it is first born. Its claws are not sharp enough, and its scales have not yet hardened. The only thing that can kill is probably its mouthful of fangs.

What is the first thing a newborn cub does?

Recalling the animal documentaries he had watched in his previous life, Thor realized that he should lick the slime off his body first.

This was something the mother beast should have done, but given the red dragon's personality, there was no need for him to even think about it. He could only twist his flexible neck and lick his body greedily.

Once his body had mostly dried, he turned his attention to the broken eggshells on the ground and began to gnaw on them.

These eggshells serve as both a protective layer for the dragons before hatching and their first meal after hatching, containing not only abundant energy but also various precious substances and trace elements.

It can activate the young dragon's body, providing the energy needed for initial growth and development, allowing the scales and claws to harden rapidly.

Perhaps it was because his sense of taste had changed, but the eggshell, which he thought would be very unpalatable, tasted exceptionally delicious in Thor's mouth.

Before he knew it, all the eggshell fragments scattered on the ground had gone into his stomach. Feeling the drowsiness gradually rising, he did not fall asleep, but turned his head to stare at his brothers who had not yet hatched.

The remaining three dragon eggs began to shake, and with a crisp cracking sound, countless cracks appeared.

He dragged his bulging belly, tiptoed over, picked up a fallen shard, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Soon, the remaining three chicks also hatched one after another. Two of them successfully called out their long and tongue-twisting real names, but the remaining one remained silent.

Chiriel's eyes narrowed dangerously. She hadn't expected that her first clutch of eggs would contain such a low-grade dragon beast.

Without the slightest hesitation, she stretched out her giant claws, grabbed the newborn dragon, and turned to leave the nest.

The three baby dragons watching this scene were terrified and dared not move.

When two of them were awakened by hunger and began to eat the eggshells according to the instructions in the Dragon Legacy, they discovered that many of their own eggshells had disappeared without them noticing.

This enraged the two baby dragons, who immediately turned to look at the "thief" beside them.

Thor, still clutching an eggshell in his paws, showed no embarrassment at being caught red-handed. He swaggered over and stuffed the eggshell into his mouth, then defiantly let out a burp.

Because he knew all too well that red dragons were powerful, irritable, arrogant, and unruly... and among their many traits, there was no concept of kinship.

From birth, the cubs in the same litter are already in competition, with no room for sentimentality, so they will naturally strike first.

Chapter Two: The Turntable

"Damn thief, you'll pay a heavy price for this sooner or later!"

"I want to break your bones with my own hands and tear off your scales one by one!"

A few pale blue subtitles flashed before Thor's eyes, but he had no time to pay attention to them—two enraged young dragons were already roaring sharply and charging menacingly toward him.

Faced with this situation, he showed no fear. With a sudden push off the ground with his short limbs, he took the initiative to meet the attack.

Although newly hatched dragons carry the legacy of dragons, the complex information they possess still needs a long time to be released.

In addition, their breathing organs are not yet fully developed and their magic power is very weak, so the fight at this moment is no different from that of wild beasts.

At this point, the advantage of Saul being born almost an hour earlier became apparent.

Moreover, he had already consumed enough eggshells, which had fully activated his muscles and caused his scales and claws to begin to harden.

In summary, it means greater strength, stronger defense, and sharper claws.

The three red dragon cubs rolled and wrestled together like provoked wildcats.

At first, the other two were able to work together to deal with Thor, but their personality flaws quickly turned the fight completely wrong—once they got into a fight, they didn't care whether they would accidentally hurt their companions.

Tiny red scales mixed with blood splattered everywhere, raising clouds of dust that soon covered the three fledgling dragons in a layer of grime.

Fortunately, their claws and teeth were not fully developed, and coupled with the natural resilience of dragons, they were not in any immediate danger of losing their lives, despite the fierce fighting.

Chiriel, who had left the nest earlier, had somehow crawled back.

It stared at the three cubs fighting, its pupils, as red as burning charcoal, suddenly contracted, and it let out a low roar.

The rolling sound waves swept across like a whirlwind, causing the three fledgling dragons to stiffen abruptly.

Intuition screamed: if we don't stop now, danger will strike immediately.

Red dragons don't value family ties, or rather, most of the five-colored dragons have little to no family affection.

Chiliel didn't care about the fighting between the cubs at all; even if one or two died, it wouldn't matter. But she absolutely couldn't tolerate these little guys making noise in front of her and disturbing her rest.

…………

Thor glanced at his younger siblings who were standing there dumbfounded, then rolled away and darted out, grabbing the largest piece of eggshell from the ground and hiding in the shadows of a corner of the cave.

The other two baby dragons realized what was happening and their anger reignited, but under the watchful eye of their mother, neither dared to make a move.

They exchanged wary glances and began to quickly gnaw on the remaining eggshells on the ground.

Even without Thor, they are still competitors. Since they can't fight each other right now, they can only try their best to eat faster and more than the other.

Only after all the eggshell fragments on the ground had been eaten clean, and even the dust covered with eggshell crumbs had been licked clean, did the two baby dragons each find a corner, curl up, and crawl inside.

The true dragon possesses a super-powerful digestive and absorption system. The eggshell fragments were quickly transformed into abundant energy and nutrients, constantly stimulating the body's development and gradually leading the three red dragon cubs into a deep sleep.

In their sleep, a flood of information begins to emerge. The unique heritage of the true dragons will, in this process, allow them to develop a basic understanding of the world, master various common languages, and learn about different common races…

…………

Thor felt like he was having a dream, in which he was still human.

That day, during a break from work, he skillfully opened his phone to slack off, and soon a post about beast fighting caught his eye.

The post discusses which is stronger: the dragons in D&D and the dragons in Monster Hunter World.

The comments below number in the hundreds, with netizens arguing endlessly.

As a seasoned keyboard warrior, he naturally had to offer his insights.

"D&D has a higher skill ceiling, and Monster Hunter has a stronger average skill level, so it has to be considered comprehensively..."

The dream abruptly ended there, then vanished into nothingness, a white light.

…………

The three sleeping baby dragons gradually swelled up.

Their wings, which were originally soft and floppy, began to develop and stand upright; the color of their scales deepened, and two small bulges appeared on their heads.

The once bright scales gradually became covered with a gray shadow, and they fell off one by one from the top of the head, revealing the tougher new scales underneath.

Normally, the nutrients and energy contained in a single dragon eggshell are just enough to meet their needs during their first slumber.

Because Thor had eaten too much earlier, he was growing very fast and his physique had become much stronger.

His two siblings were not so lucky. They did not get enough nutrition. Although they did not starve to death in their sleep, some of their less important organs could not fully develop. As a result, their bones grew, but their muscles could not keep up. They became so thin that they looked like skin and bones and were almost unrecognizable.

…………

This slumber did not last long; about 15 days later, Thor awoke.

But he didn't open his eyes immediately. A blue light screen appeared in his dark vision, with some simple information marked on it.
