One life ended in a hospital bed. His second begins in the sky. Arthur was a master of fantasy lore, but a novice at life. Trapped for years in a sterile room, tethered to monitors and battling a body that had given up on him, his only escape was the world of anime and light novels. He dreamed of magic, of strength, and of a breath that didn’t burn. Then, the monitor flatlined. When he opens his eyes, the smell of bleach is gone, replaced by the scent of ancient parchment and ozone. He isn’t human anymore. He is Benedictrax—or "Benni" to his friends—a Celestial White Dragon of legend, hatched in the heart of a forbidden library at the edge of the world. With a Game System only he can see and a draconic body that shimmers like crushed opals, Benni finally has the "Blessed Life" he was promised. But Aethelfgard is no paradise. Between "Heroes" who have turned into tyrants, a rising Demon King, and a world that views his rare scales as the ultimate prize, Benni must use every bit of his Earth-born nerd logic to survive. He didn't just come here to level up. He came here to live.
