Accidentally Becoming The Dragon King

Blackitty_1987
In a world where Hunters protect humanity from monstrous threats emerging from mysterious Gates, Kai Touma is nothing more than an ordinary salesman. Despite his dream of becoming a Hunter, fate never granted him the power to awaken. Resigned to his mundane life, he watches from the sidelines as others rise to glory. But everything changes when a Red Dungeon—humanity’s worst nightmare—suddenly manifests inside his apartment, pulling him into a death trap with no escape. Struggling to survive in the abyss of despair, Kai encounters the Ancient Dragon King, Voltan—a being so powerful that even the monsters inside the Red Dungeon are terrified of him. But Voltan, weary from eons of existence, seeks only release. In an act of fate, the Dragon King grants Kai his essence, passing on his immeasurable strength before fading from the world. Now, reborn with the power of a Dragon King, Kai must navigate his new life as a Hunter. But the world of Hunters is far more treacherous than he ever imagined. Dark secrets lurk in the shadows, forces conspire against him, and the truth behind the Gates may shatter everything he believes. With draconic power in his veins, Kai’s journey is only beginning.

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time.
