In order to improve the reading experience, we will talk about the rank and base setting here.

This is a world with Battle-Qi and Magic. Regardless of Warriors or Magicians, their ranks are divided into Nine-level and the Saint-level above.

Warrior:

Level 1 to 3 are considered Low-level Warrior.
Level 4 to 6 are considered Mid-level Warrior.
Level 7 to 9 are considered High-level Warrior.
Beyond that are the Realm of Saints, divided into Low-Rank, Middle-Rank, High-Rank, and Pinnacle.

Magician:

Level 1 to 3 are considered Low-Level Mage.
Level 4 to 6 are considered Mid-level Mage.
Level 7 to 9 are considered High-level Mage.
After breaking through the Realm of Saints, they are known as Magister, one who develops unique spells.
Regardless of the spell power, they will be known as a Great Magister so long as they were able to develop a unique spell.

Weapon:

Divided into weaponry (spare me from the ridicule, please), Military Arms, National Tools, Sacred Tools, and Paired Equipment. Sacred Tools normally has a spirit.

Race:

The main races are Humans, Demons, Dragons, Elves, Beastmen, Merfolks, and Subdragon race.

Country:

There are nine great nations in human territories. The only ones that can be revealed at this time are the Luminous Theocracy who worship the Goddess of Light, the Shadow Theocracy with belief in the Goddess of Darkness, and the Holy Dragon Empire who believes the Origin Dragon to be a Dragon God.

Location:

There are three main continents in this world, namely the Xedrios, Aizenias, and Aberon. The humans occupied the Xedrios continent.

The Demons, who are on bad terms with the humans, are located in the Aberon continent. They are separated from Xedrios by an endless blue ocean. However, as both continents are linked by a crack in space called the “Magic Pool,” the demons are able to invade directly.

The elves had once been enslaved by the other races, that’s why they have built a Spirit Maze in the Elven Forest to the South, thereby protecting themselves with a nearly half-god magic known as “Maze of Misdirection”.
The other races will be slowly revealed so as to maintain a bit of mystery.

Hello everyone, I am the author of this series, Ain’t Fish.

First of all, allow me to express my thanks for everyone’s support. It gave a huge boost of confidence to a new author like me. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting this series could make it this far. After all, my previous work goes down the drain after a mere 20,000 words.

As a newbie, I am still lacking in many areas. The more I thought to myself that I should write better, the more unsatisfactory the outcome became. When I look back to the previous chapters, I feel that it didn’t turn out as good as I hoped it would be.

It’s just like the time when you see an interesting picture, your mind filled with rainbows, but the thing you wrote turned out as plain as a white paper.

However, I’m not afraid of failure.

When I was still at the starting point, I have written a few series, two of them no less.

The first series had 7,000 words but there were only two views.

My second work had 20,000 words and only viewed eleven times.

Then I wrote another two series during my times with SFACG.

The first one had 20,000 words and only had eighty-odd views. That was dropped in a flash.

However, this series had reached eight thousand views. Honestly speaking, this is completely unexpected.

But this is also proof that I am constantly improving, right?

What’s scarier than a low starting point is to make no headway, because no matter how low the starting point is, one can always make steady progress. There will come a day when we will eventually catch up to those who are already ahead of us.

My dream is to be able to portray a character I wanted to write with ease one of these days.

From the look of it, I am still far from achieving my dream.

Alright, let’s keep the rant to a minimum and get back on topic.

Lilith is a character I suddenly came up with when I was taking a nap on a certain day. She has experienced many unfortunate events in the past and could only rely on Eight-Grade Syndrome to protect herself. However, she still managed to maintain her kindheartedness despite all odds.

Under that kind of circumstance, she was transported to another world and met dragons with all kinds of eccentric attitudes, such as a mother with daughter-con, the loyal dog Akarin, the meat sculptor, and Fenice who licked the Eternal Ice. This gave her second life a sense of belonging.

This was also a chance for her to change herself.

As Lilith’s journey began, she will meet more eccentric characters and eventually start her own harem.

As for whether she would succeed or not… that’s a different story.

The next volume will be the first step of Lilith’s journey towards the St. Caroline Academy.

Just what kind of encounter and adventure awaits her on the road? Let us wait and see.

Since we are finally entering the first part of the plot, it will definitely take more time to plan out everything. Therefore I will shamelessly consider this afterword as filler. I hope everyone can forgive me for this.

However, this is my promise to you all; the next volume will definitely be better than the last, I will write with more passion than ever.

Then I will be even more shameless here to ask you all to bookmark and like this work…

Let’s meet again in the next volume, and I wish that y’all have a wonderful and interesting life like the characters in this book.

P.S. Cough cough, a little advertisement below:

To be honest, due to a lack of experience, this series had a few rough parts at the beginning of volume two. Everyone could probably tell from my comment sections and reviews already.

It will become better in the latter parts of the volume.

However, due to a certain reason, the writing style after that will change slightly. It will not be pure NEET language anymore.

Therefore, readers who like to read NEET language, I will recommend my new work to you all 《The World is Still on the Brink of Destruction Today》.

Pure NEET language from beginning to end.

Naturally, please continue to follow the Dragon Princess series. It’s still not too late to drop it if you really don’t like it later on.

Thank you for your support, everyone. 、(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)

“St. Caroline Academy?” I looked at the recommendation letter in my hand and murmured.

“Yes, that’s right, St. Caroline Academy.” Professor Flint stared at me with great enthusiasm, as if he was afraid that I wouldn’t agree with his thoughts, “St. Caroline Academy is the most prestigious magic school in the Holy Dragon Empire. It is even ranked as one of the best in the nine kingdoms of mankind. As the foremost institution of the Holy Dragon Empire, it naturally opened a Dragon Language department and there are a lot of people studying every year. Since your Royal Highness thought it was very boring to learn by yourself, you can go there and learn with many people.”

Many… people.

Since coming to this new world and living in the middle of this group of happy-go-lucky dragons, I unconsciously began to forget my former identity. I don’t know when it started, but I’ve completely accepted myself as the dragon princess Lilith. I haven’t even thought of myself as Kaoru, the great ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— in a long time.

Maybe it’s because the life is so happy and simple here, there are no bullies, no discrimination, no rejection, only seemingly silly but actually meticulous dragons. They centered around an otherworlder like me, singing and dancing on the stage with a fan, and pulling me to dance along with them.

I have long since forgotten when it was that I was pulled to the stage and became a part of them. I have long forgotten that I used to be just a lonely spectator curled up in the corner. Perhaps my mother had given me a push ever since I was still in the egg and made me the center of attention, turning me from a lonely spectator to a popular actor.

I’m really really happy during this period of time.

But my heart was like the moon halfway through the month, a small step away from perfection.

Now, this letter is like the missing part of the moon hidden in the shadows, gradually showing its original shape, and letting me know what I want.

I want to… go out and see, not only the human world, but also the elves, beastmen, demons, and monsters in the Sea of Origin.

In my past life, I was bound by my own ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— and was unable to leave, and the furthest my eyes could reach was the border of my ⓑⓔⓔⓟ—, but in this more eccentric, more fantastical world, I did not have those constraints.

Moreover, I feel that a long-extinguished ambition has been reignited in my heart…

I… want a harem!
I want a harem!!
A harem!!!

Something that important must be said three times over!

Even though I have been turned into a little girl by those two mentally retarded goddesses, and a 1.4 meters tall blonde loli at that, such an obstacle will not stop me from making a harem!

Becoming a little girl? No problem at all, yuri is still acceptable!!
Blonde loli? That doesn’t matter either, didn’t they say lolis are awesome?
Also…

For some reason… I’ve become more excited than ever… hehehe…

Wait, now is not the time to think about these, the most important thing is how to get the mother’s consent. After all, she’s extremely overprotective of me and certainly wouldn’t be able to stand having her daughter leaving on her own, it seems that I have to…

“Since my daughter wants to go, just go.” I suddenly heard my mother’s voice.

I turned around and saw my mother, who had been standing behind me from god knows when with a gentle smile on her face.

“Why…” I don’t understand why she chose to act like this.

My mother habitually pat my head and said, “I have been thinking about it since you were born. Is my daughter more suitable to live as a dragon or a human. We dragons are extremely long-lived. That longevity can be a curse, which forces us to live with loneliness, but you can’t.”

“However I also…” I wanted to refute my mother. After all, I lived through most of my past life by myself, how could I not stand being alone.

But my mother placed a finger on my lips and bade me not to speak, “I know that you can withstand loneliness, but you are afraid of being alone.”

“As a mother, how could I make my child stay with what she fears the most, so I always try to stay with you. But you…”

My mother’s eyes were slightly dim: “are still more like human beings in the end.”

“Human-like figure, human-like thinking, it’s only natural that you’d be surprised by some of the dragon race’s practices. For example, why do you think we learn things so slowly? Could it really be just because ours brains are all no good? No, in fact, we learn slowly on purpose, we are just giving ourselves something to look forward to doing. Otherwise, the deeply rooted boredom and loneliness would drive us dragons insane.”

“Since you’re more like humans, you might as well go to the Human world.”

I stayed silent for a long time, then I smiled and said, “Okay, but I won’t stay in the human world forever. When I finish learning the Dragon language I’ll come back. After all, this is my home.”

Mom’s smile returned, “Of course, this will always be your home.”

Then she turned around and wiped a crystal clear tears away from the corner of her eyes. Then she clapped her hands at the dragons who were feeling tipsy from drinking, “Alright, that’s enough! All of you get up now. The party is over…”

“Time to change this party’s purpose to Artemis Niger Lilith’s farewell celebration!”

The dragons who were originally noisy suddenly quieted down, all looking at me and my mother, after a while…

“The Crown Princess is leaving?”
“Wh- where is she going?”
“Is it because of something we did, Crown Princess?”
“Crown Princess…”

“It’s not.” I shook my head, “I just want to learn the Dragon Language in the human kingdom. Not only the Dragon Language, I also want to learn magic and martial arts, I want to become the most powerful princess in the history of the Dragon Race and let my name, Chaos Dragon Artemis Niger Lilith, resound throughout the world!”

I made such a strong speech, but of course, the most important sentence has yet to be said… I’m afraid that I won’t be able to leave if I say it today.

“As expected of our Crown Princess to have such a lofty ambition.”

“Precisely, I recall that in the history of the Dragon Race there was a royal princess who nearly conquered the world, and our princess said that she would surpass her. Is she going to start a worldwide campaign? Oh… that’s quite incredible.”

“Crown Princess, if you want to conquer the world, please be sure to call me to be your vanguard.”

“Me too, me too.”

“Add me too!”

“I remember those demon race brats were clamoring about destroying us in the past, it’s best to start with them.”

I watched dumbfounded as the group of dragons jumped up and down while making declarations that they’d conquer the world, itching to immediately armor up and kill their enemies.

This isn’t what my words meant, ya bastards!

“Alright, stop fooling around,” Mom’s eyes suppressed the dragon group whose blood was boiling, “If you are drunk, throw them up immediately. If you ate too much, spit out the food. Akarin, go contact the dragons that are absent, if they don’t come this time they’ll no longer be allowed to return. All dragons without a task, begin re-arranging the venue and make sure to uphold a standard of excellence.”

“We shall present the perfect farewell party for my daughter!” Mom spread out her hands and spoke as if she was the king of the world.

“Yes!!”

“Finish… Finish class?” Professor Flint looked back with an expression that read ‘are you joking?’, “But our class only lasted for ten minutes, where in the world would you find a class that ends in only ten minutes?”

“No no no,” I shook my finger at Professor Flint, “It looks like you don’t know this, but teaching for ten minutes then taking a break for forty minutes is actually the most scientific way to teach, not only does the combination of rest and work improves efficiency, but it also prevents the students from becoming mentally exhausted, dozing off, or getting stressed.”

“Isn’t that true everyone?” I turned around and asked the other dragons, the threat in my eyes was evident.

“… true true true, the Royal Princess is absolutely correct.”

“Yes, if only I had mastered this scientific method earlier in life, it wouldn’t have taken me a thousand years to learn Elvish.”

“Indeed, the Royal Princess is truly deserving of her title.”

When I was satisfied with the answers I turned back to Professor Flint with a victorious look in my eyes. The professor froze for a long time before finally putting down the pointer in his hand, “Since the Royal Princess has decreed it, class is dismissed.” ¹

I gave Professor Flint a thumbs up, “As expected of the best Dragon Language instructor, you are a sensible man indeed.”

Then I turned and immediately slipped away. As for whether I had returned to class after forty minutes… that’s another story that we’re not gonna talk about now.

…………

…………

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye three years had passed since I was born in this world.

These past three years, I spent every day with my schedule crammed full of important matters.

Every morning, I practiced controlling my lifeblood. After my first schizophrenic event, my mother told me that the reason it happened was because I couldn’t control the great ancestor’s blood essence that’s raging within my body and if I want to be able to do so, then I shouldn’t avoid it. If I want to control it, then I need to embrace it and use it repeatedly.

Therefore, every morning I had to spar with the training partners my mother caught from various locations.

However, the race of my training partners was always the same: Deep Sea Giants.

Once, it had nearly led to a war among the dragon races, but mother single-handedly shut that down.

And that other personality of Lilith had appeared more than once. It happened every time I lost to my training partner and was hammered into the ground. She would brutally murder her opponent with battle instinct and base power which is simply incomparable to my power in my normal condition. Therefore, it can be concluded that she only appears and takes over my body if I’m facing an opponent that I can’t deal with on my own.

But, just as mother said, I was still me at the time. It was only because of my poor control over my lifeblood that my personality and thought processes were affected. I’ve been told that my personality, when influenced by my blood, is rash, bloodthirsty, violent, crazy, and vengeful. All my little discontent would act as the fuse for me to act out violently at that time.

As a result, I also tore up Akarin’s Magical Girl Book, beheaded the sexy statue of the sculptor, and tied Fenice’s tongue in a sailor knot.

Therefore, whenever my personality switched, all the dragons on Dragon Island, aside from my mother, would take their treasures with them and teleport away, waiting for me to turn back to normal.

And when my other self finally started to tear apart mother’s collection of ten-meter tall statues, she also decided to run off like the other dragons.

I studied the Dragon Language with Professor Flint every afternoon. I studied attentively for ten minutes and then took a break for forty minutes, there were three classes every day on that schedule. How well did that work out? Well…

Bang! Bang! Bang! With a few cannons, the ribbons that had been fired fell on my head…

“Congratulations, Crown Princess!!”
“Congrats, Crown Princess!!”

Each tree in the forest was covered with ornaments. At my usual place of attending language classes, a huge cake was placed. On the blackboard, there was a message that read, “Hearty congratulations to Crown Princess Lilith for learning fifty words of the Dragon language!”

You didn’t misread that, it took me merely three years to learn fifty characters, not only that but I also learned some low level spells that I can cast using those fifty characters such as ‘Ignition’, ‘Freeze’, ‘Breeze’, and so on.

Most importantly, I remembered my name!

The Chaos Dragon, Artemis Niger Lilith, I remember all thirteen characters of my name! I didn’t even expect to be able to do that.

So I am a genius after all.

“Crown Princess is a genius.” See, even they said so.

“That’s right, it only took you three years to learn fifty characters. If this keeps up, then memorizing all five thousand should only take, lemme see… one… two… three…”

“You idiot, how long do you intend to count for. It should take about five hundred years.”

“Yes, that’s right, five hundred years is enough. And here I thought that the Crown Princess would need to study for more than a thousand years. I’m so shortsighted I should punish myself with three cups.”

“Yes, three penalty drinks. Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

Those guys completely forgot about me and drank from a barrel-sized cup.

But there’s no way for me to enjoy it since this body can’t handle alcohol, the last time I tried to take a sip with my tiny mouth nearly all of Dragon Island was destroyed and since then no one offered me even a drop of wine to drink.

Seriously, how frustrating! I was the God of Wine² who wouldn’t even get drunk from a thousand cups in my past life, so how come this new body of mine can’t even handle a drink?

Forget it, just eat cake. If I can’t drink then it’s better not to think about it…

“Crown Princess, could you wait a moment.” Professor Flint suddenly called me.

“Professor, is there something you want?” I turned to look at my teacher who seemed to have aged too much in the last three years.³

Professor Flint hesitated for a moment, “this humble one has… come to resign.”

“Resign?” I look him straight in the eyes, “how can you resign after doing such a great job? Don’t tell me, is getting to class too exhausting? Is your salary not enough?”

“It’s not that.” The professor promptly answered, “It’s not exhausting, how can it be exhausting with only thirty minutes of class every day? And a salary of ten gold coins per day is more than I would’ve ever imagined at my previous job.”

“Then why are you resigning?”

“That’s because…” Flint paused. He seemed to be thinking about whether he should say it. After hesitating for a moment, he continued, “The Princess has only learned fifty characters in three years. It is really a waste.”

“How is that a waste? Dragons live for tens of thousands of years.”

“I mean I can’t afford it,” Professor Flint trembled sharply, he shook so bad, you’d think that someone had dug up his ancestral grave. “This year I’m turning eighty-one, I already have one foot in the grave. It really is a waste.”

“…” I almost forgot that humans had such short lives.

Professor Flint twitched and retrieved a letter from his arms, “I know why Your Highness has been so slow to learn, that is because it’s too boring to study alone.”

He handed the letter to me, “This is a recommendation letter for St. Caroline Academy. It is the most prestigious magic school in the Holy Dragon Empire. There is a special dragon language department in the school. I recommend you to go there to study, Crown Princess.” ⁴
