A continent divided into the North, East, West, and Central regions. Each of these regions was like a small continent on its own. Each region had its own leader, and those who controlled this world were called the Empire.
The Northern Region is the Icy Plain of this continent, where vast icy landscapes dominate. It has a low human population, but other races are common. The empire that rules this region is called the Gelidora Empire.
The Southern Region is known as the Wasteland of the Origin Continent. This region has the densest population of beasts, and resources are scarcer than in the other regions. It contains a forest called Bestial Forest, where most beasts in the Southern Region reside. The empire that rules this region is called the Soran Empire.
The Eastern Region is the Forest Plain of the Origin Continent. It has lush grass and plants. One would expect Volkoids to be abundant here, but alas, they are not; instead, they exist in appropriate proportion with humans and other races. The empire that rules this region is called the Jade Empire.
The Western Region is a hidden plain, and little is known about it. This region has secluded itself from others. The empire that rules this region is called the Maris Empire.
Numerous cities and villages fall under the jurisdiction of these empires. The empires are filled with numerous and powerful Origin Cultivators. The landscapes of each region stretch vast, and resources are readily available.
The Central Region, the cream of the crop, is the most abundant in Originat, with an overwhelming wealth of resources. This is where the strongest cultivators of the Origin Continent gather.
Unlike the other regions, the Central Region is not ruled by an empire but by a dynasty called the Avalon Dynasty.
This dynasty has the highest concentration of talented cultivators in proportion to the overall talent across all regions.
A draconic roar shook the entire continent, drawing everyone's attention toward the sky.
"Isn't that a dragon's roar?"
"Are dragons still alive? I thought they were extinct!"
"Well, it could be one of those lizard dragons."
"No! Can't you hear how domineering this roar is? Look at the beasts—they are all prostrating before it!"
"If it's truly a dragon, then this is a heaven-defying opportunity. If we manage to capture it and make it supply us with dragon blood, we will become undefeatable! We could rule the Origin Continent!"
"It seems the beasts are bowing toward the Southern Region... Let's move before others do!"
In every region, especially among those knowledgeable about such creatures, unrest spread like wildfire. Discussions erupted on how they could capture the dragon for their own benefit.
Whoever captured it could change history forever. And if it wasn't a true dragon? Then they would simply blame their misfortune.
Countless figures began moving toward the Southern Region, while those already in the South frantically searched for the source of the Draconic Roar, which seemed to echo from every corner of the land.
An obsidian-black Devouring Dragon stood within the dense forest...

[Draconic Transformation]
A skill that allows the Host to transform between his dragon and human forms. This skill synchronizes with all dragon-related abilities. When used in conjunction with other dragon skills, their damage is increased by 10%.
Allows the Host to consume external energy sources (Originat, etc.) and convert them into power.
If the Host devours a defeated opponent, he can absorb a fragment of their knowledge, skills, and Originat affinities. However, there is a risk—excessive usage may cause the Host to lose control, becoming a mindless devourer. To prevent soul instability, this sub-skill can only be used twice per day.
The Host can also devour physical substances such as minerals, herbs, and flesh, converting them into experience points.
An exclusive skill of the Devouring Dragon, unleashing a massive breath attack:
A beam of black flames that burns and erases everything in its path.
Alternatively, the Host can release a pure energy beam that disintegrates and consumes all things before it.
When the Host roars, his will and aura explode outward, generating a shockwave of pure force that:
Sends enemies flying and shatters the ground.
Overwhelms weaker beings, forcing them to submit or flee in terror.
Causes those with lower willpower to freeze, fall unconscious, or surrender outright.
Even stronger opponents will feel immense pressure, slowing their movements and weakening their attacks.
