## Plot

［Polymorph］

In a cold and dark cave,,, However, to the being that make their home here, neither darkness nor cold is felt at all. Naturally, the dragon, who was created as the strongest creature on the planet and has reached the closest to the perfect body among all life forms, cannot even feel the chill in the cold. Of course, it can't be dark either. Dragons have innate infrared vision, so they can see everything in pitch-black darkness. In a huge cavity of the cave, a huge dragon, almost like a small garden, was crouched. Among the flashing red horny scales, it is a Red Dragon that is called the strongest among dragons along with the Silver Dragons. After a while, the gigantic creature slowly began to straighten its crouched body, and from its gigantic mouth, a tearful scream resounded. The dragon screams that it's annoying. Huge forelimbs the size of a strong adult human's body, indeed, the giant forelimbs of a red dragon with the largest body among dragons, but now those magnificent forelimbs had a book about half the size of a dragon's claws. -The Book of Archmage Terold Croword- The 300-year-old dragon, who was given the name Karsearin as a member of the Red Dragon clan, and called 'Arin' because it is long and difficult to call, grumbled for a while with a booklet called -The Book of Archmage Terold Croword-, and this time, shouted that it was a success. In a small book between its fingers, a long sentence entitled 'Polymorph's Law' was written in clear handwriting, and soon a magnificent voice resounded into the cave.

Arin's face as it memorized the spell was full of joy and strong self-esteem. Finally, after six months, it succeeded in reading all the contents of the books it wanted. The small print was not a problem for Arin at all. The dragon's eyesight is absolutely insanely good. Well, if you look at adventure stories like the legends of old heroes, don't dragons find out where they came from with only the crests of the swords and armor of the warriors who came to them? It's like, "It's family XX" or "Is it the royal family YY?" As a human being, it is enough to see the eye of a needle that is 5 meters (Translation: About 16.4042 ft) away, so it is enough to read the magic book Arin is holding now. At least with that thought, Arin has been stealing at this book from Karstein, the benevolent (just all the Red Dragons) ancient red dragon who lives across the Lartead Mountains. However, this book, which did not disappoint its expectations, annoyed it in an unexpected place. That's right, it can't turn pages. Why is it so small and the material is so weak? When Arin first opened the book, it was thankful to god that the torn part was not 'Polymorph Magic'. Of course, after that, it handled the book very carefully, but it is quoted in a proverb as an expression that a single sheet of paper is thin even among humans, and it was only in the dragon's hand (and the dragon's nails are a bit sharp), so it had to struggle day and night. In addition, Arin is the Red clan, famous for being impatient among dragons, the Orcs, Trolls, Ogres, Griffins, etc., living near Arin's nest for 6 months when it stole the book, as the object of fear called monsters among humans. Considered to be a delicious meal for Arin, these creatures could not sleep well at night and had no choice but to be alert. Because whenever that young, temperamental dragon was annoyed, it would take its anger out on them. In any case, Arin finally found what it wanted from the book. If the monsters around had known this fact, they would have held a festival. Arin says that the preparations were finished, it began to memorize the spell slowly.

Polymorph, a shape-shifting magic used by dragons, humans, or similar humans with similar intelligence. With this magic, they can change their form into that of another race. In the human world, it is treated as a high level magic, but for dragons, it is only the most basic magic. When they reach the age of 5~600, they instinctively learn how to change their shape, and since then they acquire the ancient knowledge and wisdom accumulated by their ancestors. There is still no dragon that has been made into a booklet to fit their size. In other words, they became polymorphs in the form of other races (most people choose humans, but depending on their taste, Elves, Humanoids, and eccentric dragons sometimes choose Dwarves or Goblins. Those with high pride as dragons are drachronians They also change into dragons. Apparently, dragons are too huge for their size, so just wandering around will have a serious impact on the world.) Acquiring knowledge is a common practice. Therefore, Arin is a magic that can be learned by itself if you wait 2 to 300 years, and there is no need to learn it while getting nervous. In other words, Arin was doing that because it couldn't stand it for only 2~300 years. If it's 2~300 years, it's 'only' for dragons,,

-%% For reference, the lifespan of dragons is about 7~8000 years. Adulthood begins between 5~600 years of age, youth reaches 3000 years old, and old age begins with passing 5000 years of age. %%

Arin was perplexed. Clearly, Polymorph succeeded. But when it succeeded, even if something was different, it was quite different. It was a deep darkness where it was clear that my eyes were open and it couldn't see even an inch ahead. This cold is as if it's in the Silver Mountains that it visited 50 years ago. Arin says that this is not its home. Arin went back and forth in the dark, then chanted Polymorph's spell again and turned into a dragon. It was bright and warm (from the dragon's point of view). It was Arin's home. Arin complains that it's very inconvenient to be a human so it have to go out and do it again tomorrow morning. It was Arin, who, after transforming itself, fell into a slumber without seeing itself even once.

A calm lakeside, bright sunlight seeping through the dense forest, and a gentle breeze passing through the leaves of trees,,,, Anyway, a scenic lakeside. There was a boy with flaming red hair that fell neatly down to his waist, exposing his pale skin to the sun, and occasionally stroking his wavy hair with his hand as if it was cumbersome, reflecting his face on the surface of the water. (Simply put, it's about a pretty boy) The innocent look that looked at his whole body as if it were a miracle, with a cute little girl-like face and no thread. It's a figure that the perverts would have drooled and ran if they had seen it, but this is the realm of the red dragon Karsearin. Among the perverts, there was no human enough to dare to invade the dragon's realm, so strangely (?) nothing happened. Arin says it looks like it's all right, seeing that he looks alike someone. Arin continued as he continued to mirror himself in his sleep. Arin curious that why is his hair so long, maybe it is because he has longer horns than others, so the longer the horn, the longer the polymorph is, and if the dragon returns to its main body after cutting its head in a human state, it will the remaining hair become horns again. There have been no rumors of a hairdressing salon or dragon slayer discount sale because his hair has turned into dragon horns, so it is baseless. (0yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaayh ~~ I like long-haired pretty boys the best ~~ ^^) (Translation: This is part of the author's words.) While Arin was constantly examining his body and tasting the pleasure of his success, a rustling sound was suddenly heard from the bush behind him. Before Arin could even turn around, a black figure leaped out of the bushes and slapped him. Arin asks that are they perverts. it was an Orc. No, they look over 10, so they are Orcs. The Orcs say that this in this place, human, and grab, money, and besides, it's a pretty boy, can be sold expensively. The Orcs's aesthetic standards don't seem that different from humans. For Arin, it was embarrassing + absurd. It was absurd that dare the meals attack him, and the fact that the size of the meals had grown so large that it went beyond his eye position embarrassed him. Arin says these dare. Crack, situation ends. The striking sound of the club rang once, and the Orcs happily set off for their village, carrying Arin, who was stunned in one shot.
