Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling

A man from Earth wakes up in a hostile world and realizes he is a dragon egg, stuck on the forest floor with no hands, no weapons, and no second chances. To hatch, he has to hunt monsters, gain levels, and unlock evolutions while every shadow hides something that would love to crack him open. A mysterious guide called the Divine Voice feeds him skill readouts and upgrade options, turning survival into a cold set of choices he must make fast. After he finally breaks out of the shell, the trouble does not stop, he is still tiny, still hunted, and even the first humans he meets treat him as a threat. One young mage, Myria, refuses to kill him and later gives him a name, Illusia. From there he keeps moving, aiming for the next evolution and hoping he can become strong enough to live beside people instead of being chased out of their world. Along the way he learns that every new form brings new instincts and new enemies, so he has to decide what kind of dragon he wants to become.
