To strike back, I must tame an ancient and dangerous creature, where any wrong move could be my last.

I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms.

After saving Hamelin and earning the loyalty of Princess Adriana, I’m called back to Sevona to claim my birthright as crown prince. But the road home is anything but simple. A hidden dwarf city is under siege. A relentless knight in black armor watches my every move. And a rival noble house schemes to tear our kingdom apart for another’s favor. With my girls beside me and new allies joining the fight, I’ll need every ounce of strength and cunning to earn my crown.

What I got instead was a bratty college girl with a jealousy streak, a momma’s boy roommate who now inhabits the body of a piglet, and a devastatingly gorgeous teacher whose sword is as sharp as her tongue.

My entire life, I’ve always wanted to be a legendary dragon lancer. Now a twist of fate has brought me to the Royal Dragon Academy and bonded me to a rare dragon.

Together, we’ll train our dragons, conquer our fears, and strive to be the very best.
