A HALF VAMPIRE & HALF DRAGON'S REGRESSION (REMAKE)

In the highest corner of this world, where one can only dream of soaring that high, a certain dragon was certainly not happy to be there...

During the first few days that the thing inside flew in the sky, it was as if it was riding a roller coaster that has no end, furthermore some may call it a blessing or some may call it a curse, but it can't see the beautiful sky outside, it has yet to grow its wings, though it still remains a nauseating experience even for it. But as days turned into weeks and into months, it slowly began to adapt and adjust to its new environment.

Whish! Whish!

Whoooooooooooosh!!

But then the moment the egg suddenly lost the momentum and mana that was boosting its flight, it stopped midair and just dropped, the immediate shift of direction, from going forward to downward, was enough to ring the alarm bells of the thing inside and to figure out the predicament it was in.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

CRASH!!!!!

Meanwhile...

"Then, dear I'll be out to gather some firewood—We seem to be already running out of it" The man that looked to be in his middle age remarked.

The same went for the woman of almost the same age, as she smiled right as he turned his burly back at her to move forward, exuding an aura of trust and responsibility, where she then quietly murmured to herself while bowing her head, "Okay take care, be safe out there. My Dear..."

The man then whistled and his very own domesticated horse started rushing towards him, like a puppy that has been longing to go for a walk with its master, it clearly trusted him and was subservient towards him.

In return, the man beamed at his partner, happy that after all these years it showed no signs of change except for its age, they can't help it after all, he then spoke some heartfelt words, even though they probably can't understand each other completely, but to him the most important thing is that his sincerity reaches his partner, exhibiting just how much care and affection the man gave to raising this horse.

And without hesitation, the man and his partner started travelling inside the dense forest spanning the entirety of their village, not knowing that he would be the spark to ignite the upcoming descent of the fate of this world and twist it for the better or worst.

"Hap! Hap! That should be the last of it" As the man wiped off the sweat off of his brows.

But was suddenly interrupted by a faint human-like voice near him, "I guess should start heading back now-"

"Bua! Bua!! Bua!!!"

"Huh? Why is there a sound of a baby coming from there?" The man wondered, confused if it might just be his imagination playing tricks on him, but as the sounds grew louder, he removed all hesitation of it possibly being a trap and immediately rushed towards the sound, his conscience just couldn't take it.

'Wh-Why is that thing approaching me?! Right as I just got outside A-Am I really gonna die?!' The thing inside thought-

'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!' As it screamed internally as if it was in a life-threatening situation, as if it was the end of its world.

As it turns out it was just the wild brown boar five times the size of the newly born dragon charging at it full speed, quite the scaredy-cat this dragon is-

(The protagonist then interrupted the narrator with a gentlemanly voice with a provoked tone,) [STOP-RIGHT-THERE-what do you mean by scaredy-cat? any normal person would be scared if they saw something five times their size charging at them in full speed, where did your objectivity had gone to?]

(The gentlemanly narrator just replied to the protagonist in a smug tone of voice,) Heh!

(The narrator then went back to narrating...)

With its shining sharp tusks and angry looking face. Even if the dragon was still an infant, it had a great sense of danger just like earlier when it was falling-it's a good thing that earlier his grandfather didn't forget to add the spell "Winds Grace Fall" to soften his landing.

Anyways, the infant dragon can definitely feel that the monstrous boar definitely didn't have good intentions for approaching him.

'H-Hey What did I do to irritate you?! I'm Sorry!!—D-Don't turn me into dinner!!!' As the infant dragon tried to scream out its thoughts, however no matter how hard it tried none of the words it was trying to mutter fully came out, as its organs responsible for words aren't developed yet, so only its cries and unintelligible words came out.

But even if words fully came out, I'm not sure if the boar would even listen to him, heck even understand him.

"BUA! BUA! BUAAAAAA!!!" The thing inside cried harder, hoping for a miracle.

On the other hand, the man who went into the forest continued treading carefully but quickly to the sound of the cries, just like a plot convenience that was just coincidentally there to move the plot forward because the narrative of the storytelling is lazy.

But how surprising for him that it was actually a baby, after all who in his neighbor would dare to leave their baby in the middle of the forest? at least from his perspective from a distance.

"W-Why is there a baby here?" The man wondered, further wasting time instead of fulfilling his objective of saving the baby, truly a cliched character reaction.

"Oh-Shit I've got no time!!" Finally, he ran towards the baby, otherwise the story would've just end then and there, as this might come as a shock to all of you but that baby right there is the protagonist of the story.

[R-Really?! I-I can't believe it?-Like hell that's how they would react!!!] The protagonist remarked about the story of the protagonist being narrated nearly escaping death...

The man's instinct took over him, without hesitation he rushed to the baby and grabbed the baby from its legs that were pointing outside of its cracked shell, where he then followed it up by him lunging as the boar rammed into them-

Oink? Swish!

Luckily for the infant dragon, the man had managed to dodge the boar in time.

However, not all is well yet as it may have just been the heat of the moment and the adrenaline rushing all throughout him, so the man quickly became tired, he had never moved that fast before, he clearly overexerted himself doing those continuous rapid movements.

Thus, right after that moment his muscles became sore, he needed to recuperate first.

Nevertheless, may it be fate or a stroke of luck, but the boar wasn't also able to stop itself from charging and inevitably rammed its head onto a nearby tree, hence why it also needed to pause for a brief moment to recuperate and reposition itself.

BANG!

Huff! Huff!

For a moment both the man and the boar had an awkward stare off...

Inhale! Exhale!

In the end both the man and the boar recovered at the same time, and so the chase began again, with the boar being clearly more ticked off than earlier, as its prey had been stolen from it.

Oink! Oink!

"Ahhhh FUCK!" The man shouted as he ran, which did not make any sense as it made him lose whatever little stamina he had recovered.

The man then while running as fast as he could, instinctively whistled to call for his horse.

"Phweeeeeeehhht!"

The man expertly traversed through the way where he came from earlier, but the same could also be said to the boar whom if wasn't caught by surprise, can easily navigate through the forest, as it had its own animalistic instinct and also had lived there for a long time.

The winner was very obvious from the start, the man was slower than the boar and add that to the fact that the man was also carrying a baby, so it was not even a match between the two.

Fortunately for the man, his horse wasn't far from him so before the boar could even catch up to him-

The man like a gallant knight or a mobility expert connected his jumping while running without pause and rode his horse.

Weirdly enough the boar seemed to have become much more irritated the moment the man rode the horse.

"Hiyaaah!"

NEIGHHHHHH!!!

OINK! OINK!! OINK!!!

Although normally in a dense forest like this, the boar would have an advantage over the horse, because horses are much more suitable towards flat terrains, but with the man guiding the horse it was almost even, Notwithstanding the fact that the weight of the man and the infant dragon being carried slowed the horse down for a bit.

...

After about half an hour of the chase the man had finally lost the boar, but there was another thing that the man had to worry about, the baby that he was holding on his hand. So, he paused for a bit-

Him and the baby had an awkward stare at each other for a moment...

"Hmmm?" The infant with baby doll eyes sucked on its hand and pouted at the man.

The man with his focus now shifted at the baby started to notice something wrong with the baby, first was its red iris and its lizard-like pupils, secondly when it sucked on its fingers it seemed to have longer fangs than normal, so upon closer inspection when he opened its mouth and as it turns out he wasn't wrong, all of its teeth was abnormally sharp and long, thirdly its unusually long and different colored nails, and lastly when everything had finally calmed down, he had finally remembered that there was a violet stone that was weirdly shaped like an egg.

'At first I didn't think much of it cause of the situation back then, but could this baby had come from there?' The man started to daze and begun to be lost in thought.

Many questions started to come to the man's mind, but there was one question that accidentally came out from his mouth.

"Fuck! Should I adopt this baby?" The baby's expression grimmed.

But the man against all odds first decided to bring the baby home, then from there just figure out what he should do with it later.

...

The man after arriving home, without pause, immediately rushed inside to look for a better clothing to wrap around the baby instead of just his shirt that he used temporarily. But his wife also became startled at the sight of him.

Rustle! Rustle!

"Dear! W-What are you doing?!—and whose baby is that?!!" The wife panicked.

He first ignored her to find the clothing for the baby, but after he had found it and wrapped it around the baby, he replied with, "I found the baby in the forest we're adopting it."

As It turns out he had already fully resolved himself into taking in the baby.

"W-Wait this all way too sudden—Are you giving up on us?!" His wife looked at him with a terrible expression.

"No, I'm not!" The husband retorted.

"T-Then why Simon?" The wife's thinking ran rampant, as she asked the question why.

"Estella, do you know how long we've been trying for? For twenty years we've tried and nothing! Clearly something is wrong between either you or me." Simon spoke in a resolute tone. Then in the heat of the moment Simon revealed his inner thoughts, "I would've been much more doubtful of you, if all of a sudden you've gotten pregnant"

"Y-You!" Estella filled with her mixed emotions couldn't find any words to say.

Maybe it was because of the intense emotion that they were feeling towards each other right now, so they decided to stop calling each other with "Dear" and had actually started to address each other with their actual first names in a long time.

But right as they were to say another word, they were suddenly stopped by the loud crying of the baby.

"UWAAAH UWAAAAAH!! UWAAAH!"
