Volume 1: Wraithscale is now available on Amazon and Audible Alt title: How to Dragon 101 Kill. Eat. Evolve. Repeat. Jade was born wrong, as a magicless half-beastkin in a world ruled by power. After a failed elven ritual traps her in a monster-filled dungeon, restraint stops mattering. She wakes up with scales, wings, and a body that grows stronger with every kill. The hunt feels good. Almost too good. The only catch is that she’s becoming a dragon, in mind and body. To escape, Jade must climb the dungeon’s food chain, indulging the instincts she spent her life suppressing, or die as prey. After all, humanity is optional. Survival isn’t. What to expect: - A monster evolution system, with Skills, Magic and Mutations- This is a weak to strong story and Protagonist needs to sharpen her skills instead of just making numbers go up.- Combat, power-ups, unique skills and mutation merges for powerful abilities Current update schedule: 2/3 times a week (temp.)Patreon! - Support me on Patreon to gain access to up to 16 chapters ahead of the public release!
