I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 616 - Inquiries by Various Nations

BLURB> He was reborn by mistake. Raised with purpose. Loved by a god. Worshipped by monsters. And the galaxy doesn’t stand a fucking chance.Irvine’s soul took one wrong turn through the wheel of karma and woke up in a body grown by an intergalactic hivemind goddess with boundary issues and galaxy-sized ambition. Now he’s the golden child of a psychic swarm that feeds on control and burns whole worlds for affection.With Crystal at the helm, warriors like Kimchi, relic-weapons like Kiya, and a council of psionic horrors eager to call him king, Irvine must choose what kind of god he wants to be.Because when a hivemind learns to love......it doesn’t know when to stop.The universe will kneel—or get devoured trying.SYNOPSISIrvine didn’t ask to be reincarnated, but the cosmos had other plans. And it didn’t hand him a cheat code or a clean slate—just one random boon, selected by an uncaring divine roulette wheel.Good karma? Bad karma? Balanced as all fuck.Now he's reborn in the body of a psionically tuned alien hybrid, raised from psychic infancy by Crystal, the hivemind queen of a race so advanced they’ve abandoned individuality for shared omniscience. All except her baby boy.Irvine is the singularity inside the swarm, the first soul allowed to think, dream, and desire independently. Trained by warriors like Kimchi, advised by bio-symbiotes like Kiya, loved ferociously by hive sisters like Diane, and shadowed by powers ancient and unnamed, Irvine is both weapon and wielder, saint and sacrifice.But empires don’t run on hugs and handjobs. As Crystal expands her dominion—across star systems and sentient nebulae—Irvine must lead the charge through blood, fire, and psionic flame.His soul is still human. His body? Engineered for extinction. His heart? Not entirely his anymore.

The real hardcore player, who chose the most difficult start in “Reality Online”, still has to shock others with his god-level operation.

Hugo was a college student known for his intelligence and handsome looks. Being ranked as the number 1 student in the most renowned school on earth, there was no doubt that many people were envious of him. The only problem was, he was from a poor family.

When everything went downhill, and their family fell into a huge debt, he had no choice but to look for several ways just to earn a huge sum of money. That’s when an unknown man offered him $600,000 just to join a secret experiment being held by the government.

However, it seems like the universe was against his way when Hugo died after the experiment.

On the day of his judgment, Hugo accidentally found a hidden door in heaven. That’s where he met Goddess Thalia, who was known to be the kindest goddess that ever lived on the planet earth.

“Since you found my place, what is your wish, young man?” The woman asked in a sweet voice.

“I want to live again and take revenge on those who have wronged me!”

However, that was not the end of it. The world that Hugo came to was different from the world that he used to live in. And the pandemic that was bound to happen in 3 months was much more deadly than it seemed.

Now with the needed knowledge and skills, let us witness how Hugo gets back at his enemies and becomes the most powerful being in the world!
