Synopsis
In a world of cold steel, biology is the ultimate weapon. In the neon-drenched city of Golden Prochant, the rich live above the clouds, fueling their immortality with ancient dragon blood. Below them, in the trash-filled slums of the Under-Grid, the poor struggle to survive with rusting mechanical limbs and toxic air. Kroy was a "Weakling"—a dying boy with no future. But ten years ago, his father injected him with a forbidden mystery: the Black Scale Serum. Now, Kroy is a ghost in the machine. He hides a dark secret beneath his jacket—thick, diamond-hard dragon scales that flare with heat when danger is near. Linked to his mind is Dall, a sassy, high-grade AI with a sharp tongue and a mysterious past. She doesn’t just help him fight; she judges every move he makes. The Hunt is On. When Kroy accidentally sabotages a Dragon Pit fight, he catches the eye of a lethal heroine from a forgotten Dragon Clan and the shadow of the Dextran Corporation. With a sarcastic AI assistance, a tiny "failure" of a dragon as his only friend, and the blood of a god in his veins, Kroy must decide: Will he remain a hidden piece of scrap metal, or will he become the monster that brings the sky crashing down?

Chapter 1 - prologue: The serum

The room was dark and smelled like medicine all over.

Kroy was ten years old, when he was on the verge of dying. He lay on a cold bed, gasping for air. In this city, the air was full of black smoke. The poor people breathed the smoke until their lungs stopped working.

"I am sorry, Kroy," his father whispered.

His father adien was an experienced scientist. working for the Dextran corporation of golden prochant, a city made over clouds. Working after dragons serums dna and much more.

"His father worked for the Golden Prochant, a city that lived in the sun while Kroy lived in the dirt."

But his father had a secret. He had stolen a small bottle of black liquid. It was the blood of the Black Scale.

The one every person was after.

Outside, kroy heard loud noises. Bang! Bang! Bang!

The men of Dextran corporation were coming. They wanted the black liquid back.

"This will hurt," his father said. He had tears in his eyes. "But it will keep you alive."

He pushed a needle into Kroy's chest.

Nothing happened and kroy's body became still, suddenly after some minutes kroy gasped a long hitched breath.

He felt like his body was on fire. He screamed, but no sound came out. Under his skin, something hard began to grow.

It felt like hot stones were growing inside his skin. Kroy wanted to cry, but his throat was too tight."

Like something was moving.

It's working …. It's working, Adien screaming tears of joy in his eyes.

On Kroy's back, black scales tore through his skin. They were hard like diamonds and hot like lava.

The men outside broke open the door to get open. Men with high opacity suits , red eyes and big guns stepped inside.

But Kroy and his father were already gone.

They were gone, saving their lives from Draxtan corporations.

Through the crowd of metallic suits a man wearing a long black coat entered .

He saw the empty bottle of serum.

The man didn't look angry. He looked like a hunter who had just found a very rare prize."

He let out a soft smirk, looks like the experiment worked out .

We just need to get that back.
