Episode 1

**Karsearin** is the protagonist in Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon and a character in The Creature.

## Appearance

Before Arin polymorphed, he was a Red Dragon, so he looks like a lizard, but he's so huge that you can't even see it all at a glance. His whole body is covered with shiny red horny scales, and on his back are two wings made of a huge dark-red film that supported his body. He's said to be a Red Dragon, the strongest among the dragons, along with the Silver Dragons, and is the most vicious among dragons. His front toes are roughly the size of the thighs of a strong adult human, and indeed the size of a Red Dragon, the largest among dragons with the largest body on earth. His horns are black and his eyes are yellow (golden) without pupils.

When his polymorph form is that of a beautiful boy. He's delicate and beautiful enough to be recognized by anyone with scarlet red hair that hangs neatly up to his waist, pale skin, and clear facial features. His hair is a little frizzy. His present human form was perfectly that of a girl. Even though he's a boy, he has long hair that falls to his waist, big eyes, a high nose, and red lips and an innocent look and cute face like a girl. If the perverts had seen him, it was highly likely that he would have drooled and ran away. He's a bit confused, so if he puts on clothes, he looks really good to be mistaken for a girl. There was some reason. At first, there wasn't a single 'human' that he saw in person. The only thing he saw in human form was that of his mother, Karsenian. Since there's only one sample, his form is highly based on hers.

His appearance is similar to that of a young man of about 20 years old, but the Webtoon readers think he's around 13 or 14.

Converting the age of a dragon to a human, Arin is only 6 or 7 years old at most.

## Personality

Arin is said to be a Red Dragon, the strongest among the dragons, along with the Silver Dragons, and is the most vicious among dragons. The Red Dragons clan is famous for being impatient among dragons. He doesn't have patience, so he can't sit really long no matter what he does. When a dragon reaches its adulthood at the age of 700, it instinctively learns to transform its form into another race. Afterwards, it acquires the ancient knowledge and wisdom accumulated by its ancestors, but in fact, this was the original purpose of the Polymorph. He would learn by itself if it had to wait 400 years. There was no need to learn to be so nervous. For reference, dragons have a lifespan of about 10,000 years, reaching adulthood at about 700 years old, reaching 5,000 years of youth, and reaching 5,000 years of age. For humans, 400 years is a long time, but for dragons, it's just a little bit of time. He can't stand 400 years and reads the magic book for 6 months, and finally transforms into a human. It can be said that he inherited the blood of the Red clan, who were really quick-tempered.

## Biography

Fed up with waiting until he is 400, Karsearin, a 300-year-old red dragon, steals a book of spells from Karstein de Red to disguise himself as a human and live adventures like the ones he has read about in the stories, without knowing the consequences that his childish desire will unleash.

Arin finally finds the spell he is looking for and becomes a human, he begins to wander through the forests, he is attacked by monsters and since he does not retain his powers he cannot defend himself, but before the monsters harm him he is saved by Rake.
