This Beast-Tamer is a Little Strange

Interestingly, Vauleth had two System Profiles nestled within one another:

[System Notice: Decryption initiated… Partial Profile Recovery in Progress…]

———————-

Nickname: Vauleth

Species: Red Coloured Dragon (Re%$#vi$&s → [Retrovirant])

The Red-Coloured Dragons, also known as the Crimson Tyrants, are the strongest and leaders of the Chromatic 5-coloured True Dragons and the favourite children descended from the evil dragon goddess of greed Tiamat (&%%& &%&%& $%&$$ → [This dragon, however, is not a true descendant. Its soul and biology were hijacked in-utero by a microscopic parasitic entity of unknown origin]). Red dragons have been reported to cause immense ruin, death, and destruction due to coveting even ordinary jewels.

They are the embodiment of arrogance, ruling over their domains with an iron claw and seeing all other creatures as either subjects to be ruled or threats to be annihilated.

Born with an innate connection to fire and destruction, Red Dragons typically thrive in volcanic regions, although they may choose to dwell in mineral-rich caves and mountains. Their prolonged presence is capable of altering the environment to become more hostile and inhospitable to lesser beings. Their intellect rivals their might, making them cunning tacticians and fearsome foes. (%%&f&% &%& &s% $ &%&g%& $& # #&&$h&$&#&… → [[Description Unlocked]: This parasitic micro-organism latches onto higher-grade embryonic lifeforms prior to their birth, hijacking their genetic fate pathways and spiritual resonance before consciousness can form. It assumes the complete biological and metaphysical profile of the host species—living as them in every measurable way. However, due to imperfect integration with superior dragon DNA, this instance suffers from fate-lock instability, rendering it sterile, unable to develop mature sexual traits, and permanently arrested in juvenile-stage physical, mental and spiritual growth.])

Quality: Platinum (S&$#&&l → [Special—Platinum by way of the quality of absorbed genes])

Spiritual Power Grade: Blue

Species: Dragon (%&$&# → [Retrovirus])

Attributes: Dragon, Fire (%&$$ → [Fate])

Skills:

X – Abs%&ute Mimic&% → ([Absolute Mimicry [Description Unlocked]]): Vauleth’s core is a parasitic retrovirus capable of fusing into the genetic architecture of host species. Upon infection, it rewrites dormant or incomplete DNA blueprints and hijacks the form entirely. Only viable against low-consciousness or damaged embryonic states. Partial mimicry of traits may occur when that target is too high in quality, leading to an imperfect body.

Temporary Skills based on Host:

SSS-Due to the bloodline inheritance of Coloured True Dragons that intimately connects them with their almighty dragon ancestor Tiamat, all True Dragons are immune to Abyssal corruption as long as it is not directly from the ‘Great Mother’.

SS-Dragon’s Breath: It unleashes a torrent of fire hotter than molten lava, capable of reducing fortresses to ash in seconds. This flame burns not just with heat but with abyssal intensity, consuming everything it touches, including magic defenses.

SS-Draconic Fury: When enraged, the Red Dragon’s physical strength and speed increase exponentially. His claws and fangs become sharper, and his scales harden to near-impenetrable levels. This skill transforms him into a whirlwind of destruction, capable of tearing through even the toughest defenses.

S-Scorching Barrage: The Red Dragon releases a rapid series of fireballs, each one capable of causing massive explosions on impact. The barrage can be directed at multiple targets or concentrated on a single enemy, making it a versatile offensive skill.

S-Molten Armor: The Red Dragon’s scales heat up to extreme temperatures, creating a protective layer of molten armor. This armor not only enhances his defense but also damages any enemy that comes into direct contact with him.

Kain focused on the glowing System panel, staring at the slowly stabilizing lines of text as if they’d started speaking in a new language.

The information that had previously been obscured and hidden away was now as clear as day.

And after absorbing this information, a lot of his confusion was cleared up about Vauleth, Vauleth’s origins, and the inability of the System to generate a decent profile for him.

Vauleth wasn’t a red dragon. Not really. Maybe genetically there was a lot of similarity, but not spiritually, not even conceptually. He was a parasite. A microscopic interloper that hijacked a still-forming creature and made its life his own.

He wasn’t just pretending to be a dragon.

He was a dragon. Every cell, every fire-spitting reflex, every strand of aura—but only because he had overwritten the original so thoroughly that even the System couldn’t tell where the original egg ended and Vauleth began.

Until now.

He also understood why Vauleth likely had to restart as a new dragon every couple of decades.

A real red dragon matured. Gained power. Developed secondary sexual characteristics and found a mate to reproduce.

But Vauleth—he was stuck.

Frozen in the form of an older juvenile just before adulthood forever.

The moment the Coloured Dragon Clan noticed that one of their own wasn’t aging—or worse, couldn’t reproduce—it would’ve triggered suspicion. Maybe even extermination for this ‘abomination.’

Kain rubbed his face with both hands.

It also explained why the System struggled to scan him. Why everything had looked garbled. The Retrovirant hadn’t just taken over the unborn dragon—it had stolen its fate. Its dragon name. Even its quality, species, attributes, and skills.

If the creature had embedded itself into something simpler, like a Boulder Ant—a bronze-tier insect-type spiritual creature—then the ‘hijacking’ would’ve likely been seamless, and there would be no trace of anything wrong. No blurred out text in the System Profile to untangle.

It was only because Vauleth had dared to infect something too powerful that the cracks in his façade eventually showed.

Kain also realized once again that the System wasn’t omnipotent or infallible.

Then he frowned.

How does this information help him perfect Vauleth? The one thing Kain knew he was desperate for—to be truly indistinguishable from a true dragon.

Vauleth had a crush on Galadriel.

A dumb, boyish, hopeless crush.

But Galadriel wasn’t just any dragon. She was the heir to the Red Dragon King. The absolute peak in pedigree and power to match.

For Vauleth to stand beside her, he’d have to become everything he was pretending to be.

A real man.

A real dragon.

One stronger than her.

And that? That would be damn near impossible with his corrupted DNA and this ‘fate-locked’ growth.
