A Herbivorous Dragon of 5,000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized

For five millennia, a gentle, herbivorous dragon enjoyed an undisturbed existence in quiet seclusion. His tranquil life was abruptly interrupted when a young girl arrived at his cave, willingly offering herself as a sacrifice to secure blessings for her village. Uninterested in consuming humans or playing the part of a monster, the dragon devised a plan to drive her away. He adopted the imposing persona of the "Evil Dragon, the Demon Lord's Army Leader," hoping that a theatrical display of villainy would frighten her into returning home. However, this seemingly harmless deception produced entirely unforeseen consequences. Rather than fleeing in terror, the girl's encounter with the fabricated dark lord awakened latent and extraordinary powers dormant within her. Bound by the very myth he invented, the dragon found himself inextricably tied to her newfound abilities. What began as a minor falsehood to protect his peaceful routine quickly spiraled out of control, dragging the reluctant creature into a chaotic reality and bringing his long era of serenity to a sudden, irreversible end.
