[A/N: This is a slow paced novel, don't expect the protagonist to suddenly start out overpowered and start dominating left and right, he will become an overlord of dragons, yes, but it will take time. (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)]

An immense wave of golden mana erupted from Alister, surging across the clearing like a divine tsunami.


For a brief moment, the world seemed to stand still.


Then the dragon's mana was driven backward with overwhelming force.


The storm of pressure that had engulfed the clearing vanished almost instantly beneath Alister's presence.


The colossal dragon's golden eyes widened ever so slightly.


For the first time since emerging from the Doors of Summoning...


Its deep, majestic voice echoed throughout the clearing atop the Dragon Stratus Tree.


"...pays his respects to the Father of Dragonkind."


The sacred clearing fell silent once more.


Alister's smile widened ever so slightly.
