You, a dragon, are farming in hell.

Chapter 1 Diding, the Hellish Dragon

Sophia dared not open her eyes, for the scene she had just witnessed was too terrifying: under a crimson, dim sky, a giant dragon sat crouching on the blackish-red earth, using its metallic claws to count the skeleton soldiers before it.

Sophia Nolan, the third princess of the Kingdom of Roland, stood out like a husky mixed into a pack of wolves amidst a group of skeleton soldiers.

And the dragon's bluish-purple claws were about to reach her!

Is it a hallucination?

Am I still dreaming?

She clearly remembered that she was sleeping in bed.

Oh right, before going to sleep, she lay on the bed and read for a while the diary written by [Young Dragon Destin].

Could it be that I was so engrossed in watching it that I naturally dreamed of a dragon after falling asleep?

Thinking of this, Sophia closed one eye and opened the other, secretly looking up at the giant dragon in front of her.

The dragon's body was strong and robust, its bluish-purple scales gleaming with a cold metallic luster. On its head were two bluish-purple horns that swept backward, and the spiral patterns on the horns resembled some kind of ancient incantation.

His cold, bluish-purple vertical pupils were larger than millstones.

It doesn't match.

The giant dragon in front of us is at least twenty meters long.

The dragon named Distin in the diary was a hatchling that had recently hatched.

The diary of the young dragon Distin reads: "My name is Distin, and I am a young dragon. On the first day I hatched, what I saw was a scarlet, dim sky, a swaying skeleton, and a rotting corpse with a gaping maw rushing toward me."

Seeing the rotting corpse lunging at me with its gaping maw, I instinctively opened my mouth and spat a breath of dragon's breath into its gaping maw, and then the corpse exploded.

A crimson, dim sky; a skeleton walking unsteadily...

Sophia looked up at the sky. Wasn't this the "Crimson Darkness" written in the young dragon Diding's diary?

and many more?

Is this hell?!

Sophia recalled the second diary entry written by the young dragon, Distin.

Yesterday I killed five skeleton wolves. After these days of exploration and investigation, I finally know what kind of hellish place I am in. This is hell!

All the undead creatures in this area, upon seeing me, a fledgling dragon with flesh and blood, reacted like vicious dogs seeing excrement—no, like demons seeing Tang Sanzang (the monk in Journey to the West)—they all wanted to bite me!

The environment before us is exactly the same as the hell described in the diary of the young dragon, Destin!

That's not right!

If this is hell, does that mean she's dead?

Is it a ghost now?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Is it reasonable that she slept herself to death?

「57、58、59....60...65....66，六十六个骷髅兵，一个没少？等等，66个骷髅兵？」

Just after counting the number of skeletons, Diding's vertical pupils showed a look of doubt. He should only have 65 skeletons, so how come there was one extra?

Because someone was secretly summoning his skeletons, he would occasionally take stock of his skeletons.

He remembered exactly how many skeleton soldiers he had.

Diding thought he had made a mistake, he finished the tree root in the other dragon claw and prepared to count it again.

This time, he had just counted to thirty-one when Dragon Finger suddenly retreated from the thirty-first skull back to the thirtieth 'skull'.

To be precise, it reverted to the ghost of a white-haired, red-eyed girl.

No wonder I miscounted earlier; it turns out a female ghost had infiltrated his skeleton army.

Sophia closed her eyes and prayed frantically to the gods, hoping that the terrifying dragon before her would not discover her.

The next moment, she felt something poking her head.

"Hey, open your eyes, stop hiding, I see you."

The dragon is speaking!

Sophia heard it, but she still dared not open her eyes, because she could not understand what the dragon was saying.

Diding realized this as well; he had just spoken in dragon language, which was normal for the human girl's ghost not to understand.

"Hey, you husky who's infiltrated my skeleton army, yes, you little human, open your eyes, I've found you."

"Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me, Lord Dragon! Please don't eat me! I'm a ghost, I don't have flesh, I don't taste good! Please don't eat me!"

Realizing she had been discovered by the terrifying dragon, Sophia covered her head with her hands and begged the dragon not to eat her, her voice trembling with tears.

Her head hurt a little from being poked.

"Stop howling, I won't eat you."

"Really...really?"

Sophia opened her eyes and saw the dragon's vertical pupils staring at her.

"Husky, why are you in my skeleton army?"

Sophia shook her head. She didn't know; she opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by skeletons.

and many more?

Husky?

That wretched dragon thinks she's a stupid dog?!

"Do you even remember how you died?"

Sophia shook her head. She had just been sleeping and hadn't done anything. She opened her eyes and found herself here.

Sleeping to the point of death... That's outrageous!

"Do you know where this place is?"

This time, Sophia didn't shake her head. She looked into the dragon Diding's eyes and tentatively asked, "A dream...a dream?"

"What dream? This is hell."

Boom—

Sofia's world has collapsed; this place really is hell!!!

She... really slept herself to death (╥﹏╥)

Sofia burst into tears: "I...I've never even been in a relationship, how could I have died so young...I haven't even held a boy's hand...I haven't even held a boy's hand..."

"That death was indeed a bit premature."

Wow!

Sofia cried even louder.

Diding picked up a piece of tree root from the side and gently tapped Sophia's head a few times. "Alright, stop crying."

Sophia stopped crying, firstly because she dared not cry anymore, and secondly because she could feel a strong life force emanating from the tree roots above her head!

Isn't this hell?

Why do the tree roots that the dragon gnawed on contain such a rich life force?

Seeing that Sophia had stopped crying, Diding used his dragon claws to peel off the bark from the top of the tree roots. "Hell is vast, practically boundless. Do you want to leave and explore Hell on your own, or stay with me for now?"

"You...are you willing to let me leave?"

"Hmm. But since you're a new ghost, I'll give you a heads-up: Hell isn't peaceful. If you leave my territory, you might be attacked by other evil spirits there. For example, you might be captured by the old lich Brian next door and used as a test subject."

For example, one might be devoured by a soul-devouring spirit that roams the sky, becoming part of it. Besides these, there are also evil spirits and corpse monsters that devour souls...

Sofia was stunned.

Leaving the dragon's territory, she will face so many terrifying hellish creatures.

Lich...

Huh?

Lich?!

Lich Brian?!

Sophia was shocked; the dragon before her actually knew the Lich Brian!

The lich Brian was also mentioned in the diary of the young dragon Distin!

Wait... could the giant dragon before us... be the fledgling dragon, Destin?!
