Our hero needs to come out of his shell… literally! Reborn in another world inside a dragon egg, he doesn\u2019t have the amazing magic or mighty physical strength of your typical isekai\u2019d adventurer just yet. He\u2019ll need to break free and grow from a weak hatchling and into a fearsome beast if he wants to escape the deep, dark forest unscathed. What battles and adventures await him in this unique take on the isekai phenomenon?<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
