Tars was in a foul mood. He had noticed that he was shedding quite a bit lately. But that didn't matter. He was going to become a powerful wizard and cover himself in scales, just like those irritating and terrifying Land-Drillers. In his spare time, he often dreamed—dreaming that he was no longer an ugly kobold, but had transformed back into that clean, refreshed human. He also frequently imagined slender, twisted horns—the kind belonging to high-ranking demons—sprouting from his balding forehead. However, that was no easier than growing scales. Legend has it that mighty dragons and powerful demons possess a natural human form once they reach adulthood. Yes, a massive, indirect detour just to become human again and say goodbye to this stinking kobold shell that did nothing but shed fur. At least, in the beginning, that was exactly what he thought. ------ 1300 words per chapter ------ If your reading experience feels a little strange, don't be surprised; this is a novel written in my native language, which I translated into English using Gemini. ------ What to expect ·A unique worldview, the entire world unfolds little by little. ·The story of a little kobold growing up and becoming powerful,let's witness it together from the protagonist's perspective. ·The novel has a relatively slow pace; it's not a fast-paced story filled with constant battles. ·The protagonist is not a serial killer and won't kill people at the drop of a hat. ·This is an extremely long novel of over 1 million words!!! So it will be a long journey. Enjoy!!!
