Please bear with me even if it's a different genre today, it's fun and super cute!
One day, I was reborn as a hatchling.
Rune Previous Life: An imugi who was 999 years old and was unfairly killed with only one year left until ascension. Current Life: Reincarnated as a 1-year-old hatchling (baby dragon) with all memories of his previous life intact. Characteristics: On the outside, he is a small, chubby, harmless, and adorable baby dragon. However, on the inside, he is a seasoned and crafty 999-year-old imugi. While he grumbles internally, he gradually opens up and completely melts under the unconditional love and doting care of his new family.
Christina Gold Dragon Leader of the Gold Dragons Characteristics: She reacts to Rune's immense potential as a divine beast and his presence as a dragon. She is a dragon who handles both the comedy and the cuteness alongside Rune!
Baby Phoenix Age: 1 year old Appearance: Looks like a white bird with a single feather on its head. Super cute. Characteristics: A baby phoenix that hatched from one of the several large roasted eggs Christina gave Rune to eat. It cannot speak and chirps like a chick. It loves Rune immensely and is stuck to him like glue.
Rai Appearance: Round and glows with a yellow light. Characteristics: Cannot speak. Flies around. Sends signals to Christina if something happens to Rune. Acts like Rune's guardian/observer. Monitors Rune whenever Christina goes out. Glows like a firefly.
"What? Why is my body so tiny and chubby?!!" A 999-year-old imugi, just one year away from ascension, was unfairly killed and opened his eyes to find himself a 1-year-old hatchling. A second life begins with all the memories of the previous one intact. Slowly, then completely, he melts into the unconditional love he's receiving for the first time. Making companions within that love, expanding his world, and heading toward the path of becoming a dragon that he couldn't achieve in his past life—the second life of the hatchling 'Rune' begins!
