Welcome Back Everyone!

As some of you may notice, this is not the next chapter of Draconic Unity. As I've been working on Draconic Unity, I found myself torn between two directions: staying true to the original or taking the story on a completely new path. After considering it for a while, I figured—why not both? So here we are! The first chapter should be out in about a week, and since I love extended introductions, here's a sneak peek at what's to come in this story.

Most people know Draconic Unity is a fanfiction of another fanfiction—Delinquent Dragon Emperor. But as I've been working on it, I've found myself more motivated to branch out and create something entirely my own, free from that universe. Of course, I'll still borrow a few elements from other fanfics in the community—it's hard not to overlap here and there. After all, with so many great stories out there, inspiration is bound to strike from different corners.

Extended Introduction:

From a young age, Issei Hyoudou was destined for greatness. When he awakened his Sacred Gear, he discovered that he was no ordinary boy—he was the Red Dragon Emperor, a title that would one day pit him against the infamous White Dragon Emperor. The weight of this destiny might have overwhelmed a lesser soul, but not Issei. Instead, he embraced his newfound powers with surprising ease, reveling in the fiery strength that coursed through him.

In just a few short years, Issei's power soared to unimaginable heights, reaching levels that rivaled even the Satans themselves. This meteoric rise wasn't merely the result of sheer talent; he had formidable allies guiding him. Ddraig, the legendary dragon within him, was his primary mentor, pushing him to unlock the depths of his potential. But it didn't stop there.

Enter Great Red, the mighty dragon of infinite power. Issei encountered Red during his formative years, and an instant bond was forged. Red, with his towering presence and boundless wisdom, quickly took a liking to the young boy. He became a guiding force in Issei's life, imparting invaluable knowledge on what it truly meant to be a dragon. Under Red's watchful eye, Issei learned not just to harness his abilities, but to wield them with the cunning and grace befitting a true dragon.

With each lesson, Issei transformed from a boy with a sacred power into a formidable warrior, ready to take on any challenge that lay ahead. Whether it was facing rival factions or grappling with the complexities of his destiny, Issei was prepared, armed with the confidence and skill that only a true dragon could possess.

As Issei and Great Red's bond deepened, a profound understanding blossomed between them. They realized that the dragon race had languished in the shadows for far too long, reduced to mere relics of a bygone era. With each passing day, the dragons had become less than the titans they once were, seen as little more than pawns for the ambitions of other factions.

Determined to change this narrative, Issei and Red forged a powerful pact—a declaration of their intent to reclaim the glory and dominance of their kind. This pact was not just a promise between a boy and a dragon; it was a rallying cry to the remaining dragons scattered across the world, a signal that they were ready to rise from obscurity and show the world the true might of their lineage.

With newfound resolve, they set their sights on a grand purpose: to prove that dragons were not just legendary creatures of old but living, breathing powerhouses capable of reshaping the world around them. Their mission was clear: to reestablish the dragons as formidable forces that demanded respect, fear, and admiration. The time for action had come, and with Issei as the embodiment of the Red Dragon Emperor, they were ready to unleash their fury upon those who dared to underestimate them.

Despite Great Red's imposing presence, a figure often perceived as the epitome of power and indifference, there was a side to him that few could see. Beneath the hardened exterior lay a surprisingly sentimental soul, one who had long lived in solitude. The strongest being in existence had gone for ages without a true connection, without anyone to call a friend or companion.

However, everything changed when Issei and Ddraig entered his life. Their bond sparked a flicker of warmth in Red's heart, igniting a sense of belonging that he thought was lost to time. For Red, this newfound relationship was everything; it filled the void of loneliness that had plagued him for centuries, and he reveled in the joy of mentorship, guiding Issei to embrace his destiny.

As Issei grew, he fully embraced his role as a perverted teenage boy—much to the chagrin of his biological parents. While they struggled to understand their son's antics and seemingly unending obsession with girls, they had no idea that beneath the surface of this ordinary-looking teen lay one of the most formidable beings in the universe. Issei may have been a typical high schooler on the outside, but when the moment called for it, he could unleash a power that would leave even the mightiest of foes trembling in their boots.

This duality—of being a regular teen and an unparalleled powerhouse—was Issei's greatest asset, and he was fully prepared to showcase it to anyone foolish enough to underestimate him.

With Ddraig and Great Red at his side, and the hope of a harem of powerful women forming around him, Issei envisioned a grand future. He wasn't just aiming to exist in the world of the supernatural; he was determined to reshape it entirely. His ultimate goal? To rebuild the dragon faction from the ground up, restoring it to its former glory and elevating it to unparalleled heights.

Issei dreamed of becoming the monarch of this new dragon era, a leader who would command respect and admiration, not through fear, but through strength, unity, and charisma. With the wisdom of Ddraig guiding his every move and the sheer power of Great Red backing him, Issei was poised to challenge the established order. No longer would dragons be seen as mere playthings for other factions; under his reign, they would be recognized as the formidable forces they were meant to be.

Surrounded by a diverse and loyal harem, each woman a warrior in her own right, Issei would weave a tapestry of alliances that would secure the dragon faction's place at the pinnacle of the supernatural world. Together, they would challenge the norms, defy the odds, and ensure that the legacy of dragons would not only endure but thrive in the face of adversity.

With every step forward, Issei was more than just a boy with dreams; he was the embodiment of a new era for dragons, ready to take on any challenges that lay ahead. The world would soon know that the Red Dragon Emperor was not just a title; it was the dawn of a legend.

And there you have it—the summary for The Legacy of the Red Dragon Monarch. Like many DxD fanfictions, this tale will feature a harem, filled with powerful and captivating characters who will join Issei on his journey. Together, they will navigate the challenges of the supernatural world, forging bonds and battling foes as they work to reclaim the dragon legacy. Get ready for a story of ambition, camaraderie, and the undeniable strength of the Red Dragon Monarch!
