A man from Earth is reincarnated as a baby dragon still inside its egg, though he can see outside through a small hole. He finds himself in a forest. A mysterious voice called the Divine Voice serves as his guide, teaching him about stats. He obtains new skills while tumbling down a cliff still inside his egg. He learns that he will be targeted by humans while in his egg form and is only able to move around by rolling. After encountering and killing a Dark Worm, he begins to hatch after being given a choice to evolve. This causes the Divine Voice to evolve with a different voice. The Divine Voice also urges him to level up to the top as he hatches into a Baby Dragon. He then eats the Dark Worm's corpse. The next day, he continues to hunt and kill Dark Worms to level up and does the same to Graywolves. The Baby Dragon hears three humans, consisting of two men and a girl, coming and decides to approach them. The men are hostile towards him, but the girl stops her comrades from killing him and heals him afterwards. The girl is revealed to be Myria Milleania. The Baby Dragon then gains the ability to understand her language as the two men are heard screaming. Despite the Dragon's warning, Myria goes to help them. The Baby Dragon quickly follows and encounters a Rock Dragon who has injured Myria. The Rock Dragon then turns its attention to him. | ||||||

The Baby Dragon is attacked by the Rock Dragon, and the Divine Voice tells him to run away and live, knowing that he won't stand a chance against it, but he refuses to abandon Myria. He also notices that Myria's companions were killed, but Doz is missing. Despite his best efforts, he is unable to damage the Rock Dragon. At the last moment, he manages to dodge an attack and get Myria to safety. He then starts making his way to a nearby village, but is attacked by Greywolves along the way. Myria briefly sees the dragon protecting her before passing out. By nightfall, they arrive, but the villagers believe that the Baby Dragon attacked Myria and attack him. Unable to communicate with the villagers, he leaves Myria behind and gets to safety, relieved that Myria will be okay. Two days later, Myria wakes up and learns that Marielle, an elven mage, treated her wounds. She also learns that Doz and Grantz, the men she traveled with, had died. She remembers how she met Doz and Grantz as well as the Baby Dragon and wonders if he helped her, but Marielle still believes that the Baby Dragon attacked her and was driven away by a villager named Gregory. As for the Baby Dragon, having recovered as well, he trains and reaches max level and is granted five evolutions to pick from. The Divine Voice explains what each one is before he picks, but he has trouble figuring out which to choose. | ||||||

After some pondering, the Baby Dragon decides to evolve into a Young Plague Dragon in hopes of gaining human form, but his new form has more powerful but dangerous skills that he does not want. Meanwhile, Myria and Marielle examine the warding stones that generate the barrier protecting the village from monsters, though it is ineffective against strong monsters. With the Dragon still on Myria's mind, Marielle tells her more about monsters and the Divine Voice, warning her against forming bonds with monsters. The Dragon decides to continue leveling up and be a hero, hoping to gain a human form one day so he can see Myria again. He encounters a spider monster who proves to be a strong foe, forcing him to run away as he cannot fly yet. After unsuccessfully attempting to lose the spider by jumping over a ravine, he is left no choice but to fight it. He eventually tricks it into letting its guard down, allowing him to finish it off. The Dragon later takes refuge in a cave, still eager to gain the power to transform into a human. Back at the village, Myria learns from a man named Bertz that Doz is still alive and is wandering around the forest, but Gregory is skeptical. Marielle forbids her from leaving the village for her own safety, and will instead ask the guild to investigate it. The next day, the Dragon comes across a slime monster, but is unable to view its stats. | ||||||

It proves to be very tough to hurt, until the Dragon throws it into a river, but he discovers that the Potortoise has summoned more of its kind for help. After defeating them all, he confronts another monster called a Claybear, which is much stronger. He eventually manages to kill it. Back in his cave, he creates a makeshift stove using the monster corpses. While searching for food, he defeats a carnivorous flower and finds rare mushrooms and berries. He returns to his cave to prepare and eat his meal. The next day, the Dragon continues to make improvements to the cave and hunt other monsters for food. Meanwhile, Myria disobeys Marielle's orders to not leave the village and sets off to find Doz on her own, still blaming herself for what happened to him and Grantz. In another area, two female adventurers arrive at the forest. In a flower field, the Dragon meets a lizard monster called a Venom Princess Lacerta, who bites and poisons him. | ||||||

With the poison worsening, the Dragon learns that the lizard has the antidote that can cure it.

He then wakes up to find that he is fully healed; the lizard had given him the antidote. The two then begin to bond and the Dragon takes the lizard to his cave where they share a meal. The lizard reveals that by eating poison, it strengthens its venom. Despite being nameless, they decide to not give each other names, though the Dragon calls the lizard the Black Lizard. They work together to hunt monsters and find food. At one point, the lizard gets injured following a fight against two powerful wolf monsters, but it survives. Meanwhile, Myria returns to the village following her failed attempt to find Doz and lies to Marielle about what she was really doing. She also learns about the stronger monsters in the forest, including the Rock Dragon. The two female adventurers from earlier arrive at the village where they meet Myria and Marielle. | ||||||

Meanwhile, Marielle hires the two adventurers, Meltia and Yuno, to search for Doz, having known what Myria was up to. After a long search, they come across the Dragon’s cave where they encounter the lizard and Dragon. The latter tries to interact with them in his “human” form, but gets attacked instead. Realizing how powerful the monsters in the forest are, the adventurers quickly flee to get backup. Later, the Dragon and lizard try to deal with the monkey monsters, the Orangurangs, that have been stealing their food, but they summon their alpha. After the Dragon manages to telepathically communicate with the alpha, it explains that it deems the Dragon a threat to his kind and is willing to make sacrifices to eliminate him. The Dragon challenges it to a one on one duel and the alpha agrees, but takes the lizard hostage to ensure that she can’t help the Dragon. After a long duel, the Dragon manages to kill the alpha, and the lizard is released before the Dragon falls unconscious. | ||||||

He finally sees that he was ignoring her and decides to make up for it by spending a whole day with her, but the Orangurangs ruin their moment. Back at the village, Meltia and Yuno are still waiting for their companions to arrive, and Myria goes on another journey into the forest behind Marielle's back. He notices Doz, but also encounters some wolf monsters. The Dragon hears her and, after wondering if other humans are with her regarding his last encounter with the villagers, rushes to save her. This upsets the lizard even more. Myria doesn't recognize him in his new look, until an intervention by the Divine Voice annoying the Dragon causes her to at last see that he is the same dragon that saved her.

Hearing more wolf monsters coming, Illusia continues his way to the village with Myria, but comes across the wolf leader. On its back is Doz, who is in a trance and is carrying an egg.

The three resume their way to the village, but Doz has also made it there. Illusia and Gregory, now starting to bond with each other, go to deal with the Rock Dragon and Doz while Myria stays behind due to her injury.

Meanwhile, Marielle has returned to the village and Myria fills her in on what's happening. Gregory flees with Jean while Illusia stays to fight the Rock Dragon.
