White Dragon Lord

Crossing

In a small unknown town of the southern part of the Blue Star City, China, the light drizzling of the rain had stopped, and the sun was shining through the clearing clouds onto the wet streets, bringing a touch of warmth to pedestrians walking by. 

While carrying a fish, Xia Yu carefully avoided the fresh puddles on the road. 

Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid honks, and a fully loaded truck quickly approached him from around the bend. 

“Fuck!” 

Xia Yu leapt sideways, perfectly clearing himself from the truck’s path, but no sooner had he avoided the truck than his rapid plummet started. 

‘Which goddamn thief stole the manhole cover?!’ 

This was Xia Yu’s last thought before he lost consciousness. 

PS: A rather fancy and shady way to die.  

***

Tens and thousands of years had gone by, yet he felt as if only a split second had passed.
Xia Yu regained traces of consciousness and instinctively stretched his body only to be hit by a barrier.  

Xia Yu found himself immersed in some kind of sticky liquid, curled up in a dark and narrow space; however, there wasn’t any discomfort, instead, it felt inexplicably warm and cozy, as though he was encapsulated in the loving embrace of his mother during childhood.   

‘Where is this? Is this the hospital?’ 

Suddenly, a splitting pain assaulted his head and a massive influx of information flooded his brain.

Inheritance of the Dragon!

The rudimentary knowledge of dragons, including their inheritance of magic, geography and other miscellaneous knowledge filled his brain without order; as if the knowledge and memories were his, to begin with.  

Xia Yu was horrified when he discovered that he had transmigrated.
In addition, he had reincarnated as the disgrace of dragons in this magical world: a white dragon.
Though he was only an embryo inside a dragon egg at the moment.  

As an old hand at reading books, he had read no less than a hundred novels that had this kind of a rotten plot but never had he ever imagined that he’d experience the bloody thing by himself one day. 

His poor parents had brought him up on their own, and he did not even get the chance to repay them.
Now he could only hope that his younger siblings would take good care of them. 

Xia Yu gradually understood that moping and grumbling in grief had no benefits other than bringing more trouble to him.
Staying calm and having a clear head was the best choice he had at the moment. 

A developing embryo couldn’t support long-term mental exertions and Xia Yu fell asleep again.

***

After a long time, Xia Yu woke up from his deep slumber, and the pressure from all directions told him that the space in the dragon egg could no longer accommodate his fully developed body.

‘It is time!’ 

Xia Yu gathered the strength of his whole body and slammed his head against the shell of the egg.

Crack!

The eggshell cracked.
A dragon’s head popped out of the shell and followed the age-old tradition.
Xia Yu’s voice was tender and dignified.
The first sound of the newborn echoed:

“Amos Citlandim Buwanren … Galili Aldridge.” 

After loudly proclaiming his true dragon name to the world, Xia Yu struggled to get out of the eggshell.
He then began licking the viscous and transparent liquid from his feet and tail with his narrow and rough tongue.
Only then did he begin to look at the surrounding environment. 

It was a narrow, vase-shaped cave, it was covered in ice and had generous space inside it.
There was a wide enough split acting as its opening.
Gold coins and precious stones occupied a large portion of the cave’s surface and there were strange pillars that were covered in fine scales. 

‘Scales? Pillar?’

Discomfited and apprehensive, Xia Yu slowly raised his head.
What caught his eye was a fierce dragon with long and narrow snake-like pupils.
Those amber eyes were looking at him with keen interest.
The dragon had a pair of antelope horns that stuck straight towards the skyline, with a long lissome neck and a set of large wings protruding from the sides of her streamlined body.
Standing over 20 meters tall with
