Vainqueur the Dragon

Vainqueur Knightsbane is a dragon of simple pleasures—hoarding gold, terrorizing adventurers, and napping atop his glittering treasure. His life is perfect until a bumbling thief, now his reluctant minion, introduces him to the world’s new System: classes, levels, and quests. Suddenly, Vainqueur sees an opportunity to expand his hoard exponentially. Why waste time pillaging villages when he can earn rewards by slaying monsters? With his exasperated minion in tow, the mighty dragon embarks on a quest to become the greatest adventurer—and richest creature—alive. But as Vainqueur bulldozes through dungeons and upends the very rules of the System, he attracts enemies far more dangerous than knights or wizards. The dragon must decide whether his greed is worth the price of becoming the world’s most unlikely hero—or its most notorious villain.
