Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling (Manga) Series

A fantasy isekai adventure about a man who has to restart life…as an egg?! Original light novels also from Seven Seas—and don’t miss the anime!

In a world full of dangerous monsters, our unnamed protagonist finds himself reborn at the very bottom of the food chain as an immobile, powerless egg. Even just hatching will require leveling up by fighting monsters–the same monsters who’d love to eat him as a snack. But with the help of the mysterious voice in his head, he’s determined to grow into the most powerful creature in the world!

LEVEL UP OR LOSE EVERYTHING!

While traveling through the scorching Harunae Desert, Illusia comes face-to-face with something unbelievable—a human Hero who shares his name! But aside from that, they’re nothing alike. Powerful, merciless, and impossibly strong, the Hero easily overpowers him and snatches away Nina, leaving a chilling ultimatum: save her in four days…or else.

With no other choice, Illusia throws himself into a brutal race against time, pushing his limits in a desperate bid to level up before the battle to take back Nina. Can he get strong enough before the deadline, or will the other Illusia crush him completely?

THIS WORLD IS ROUGH ON A DRAGON!

Just when I thought I caught a break, my soft landing turned out to be an ant nest! From Giant Sand Centipede to a whole nest full of red ants, it’s been one thing after another for me, Ballrabbit, and Nina. Now, down underground in this ant hill, Nina’s starting to get sick of me–literally! It’s my Dragon Scale Powder making her ill, and I’m not sure she’ll make it!

HUMANS ARE THE REAL MONSTERS…

So, I may be stuck making my way through the sandy Harunae Desert, but at least I have some company! That little Ballrabbit sure is leveling up quick and it’s been super useful in keeping our demi-human former-slave Nina safe! I can’t let my guard down just yet, though, since it seems the desert has some wily tricks up its sleeves. Just when I thought we’d get a break, a human hunting party is coming for me! Now…where’d that oasis get to?

AND WHY DO I KEEP GETTING TINY-SIZED COMPANIONS?

Whew! That fight sure was close! Who’d have thought a slime could do all that? But I think unfortunately for me something went wrong back there… How else could I have ended up in the desert?! Where’s my beloved forest? Where’s the shade?! Since it seems like I’m stuck here in this middle-of-sandy-nowhere, there’s only one thing to do: level up!

WON’T SOMEBODY TAKE PITY ON A LONELY DRAGON?!

The Little Rock Dragon sure did leave a mess of Myria’s village, no thanks to me. Still, Gregory left the fate of his precious home in my hands–me, the plague dragon who took his head. If only there had been more I could do… Sure, I evolved, leveled up, and beat the Rock Dragon, but it cost me my only friends! I had to scare Myria away for her own good, but that doesn’t mean I’m just gonna leave her and the villagers vulnerable, either. This dragon’s on a mission!

DOZ, PLEASE DON’T DESTROY THE VILLAGE!

I never imagined I’d meet up with both Myria and the Little Rock Dragon again, but I guess I shouldn’t say never, seeing as I was reborn as a dragon egg and all…Not only did Myria recognize me, but she gave me a name, too. You’re looking at one Illusia the dragon! Unfortunately, can’t call it a happy reunion, seeing as we’re chasing the Little Rock Dragon as it charges straight for the town. And, don’t quote me, but was that Doz on it’s back?!

HUMANS, HERE I COME!

I guess there’s always challenges that come with growing up, but I didn’t think having a roommate who tried to kill me would be one! Last I knew it, I was on my way out thanks to some nasty lizard venom, except when I woke up, we were buds? I may not be an egg anymore, but I’ve still got a lot of training to do if I wanna get stronger.

That Human Transformation skill is mine, and nothing’s gonna stop me till I get it!

A fantasy isekai adventure about a man who has to restart life…as an egg?! Original light novels also from Seven Seas—and don’t miss the anime!

If you woke up as a sentient egg in some random forest, I bet you’d be confused, too. That’s exactly what happened to me in the oddest turn of events…Being reborn as a little egg has its challenges, but luckily, with all these monsters out to eat me, I’m gaining experience quick. Once I bust out of this shell, a cool new form better await me–that is, if I survive long enough!

Between dodging teeth and breaking out of my egg, this world has kept me busy; yet despite all that, I’m one lonely dragon…
