DND Realms: The Rise of the Titan-Dragon Prodigy

"Princess Muria, what is this?" Bast the ancient golden dragon entered the grand hall where Muria was handling state affairs. Having been away from the capital for a while, his face showed a hint of astonishment.

Because he saw six Murias who looked exactly alike. One was elegantly lying on a chair sipping tea, two others were frantically dealing with state affairs, another was constructing an array, seemingly practicing formation arts, and the last two were wielding weapons, fiercely dueling each other.

"Clone technique?" Bast asked uncertainly, having heard that it was one of the most difficult spells to master. But as far as he knew, the clone technique only allowed for creating a single clone, not five at the same time.

"It's not a spell, it's a cloning secret technique from my heritage," Muria replied, sitting up from her lounge chair and lazily sipping her tea as she explained.

"I see," Bast's eyes showed a hint of envy for such a technique that allowed one to multitask so effectively.

"Lord Bast, take a closer look. I can now divide my attention six ways, but I can't perform each task well," Muria sighed softly.

Bast observed carefully and noticed that apart from the original lounging and drinking tea, the other five clones sometimes had a vacant look in their eyes and would freeze up. However, this state usually lasted less than a moment before they returned to normal, which wasn't a significant issue.

"Your Highness, you must have just started practicing this cloning technique. It's quite normal to experience this; after all, controlling six bodies at once is quite unfamiliar. It should get much better once you're used to it."

"So, my original self has no energy for other things, only enough to drink tea and relax," Muria laughed. Part of the reason she was drawn to this technique upon first sight was a childish wish from her previous life.

In her past life as a child, she had once naively wished: if only there were two of me, one could go to school and the other could play.

Such a childish wish had become a reality in the world of Erathia; she had learned the art of cloning, allowing her original self to slack off while her clones did the hard work.

However, it didn't really make a difference in workload; it was still her doing everything, only now her original body appeared more leisurely.

"Sit down and have a drink, and tell me about the situations you've seen during your inspections across the country," Muria smiled.

"The kingdom of Rockman has seen an increasing number of chromatic dragons and various other species lately, though most haven't caused trouble and have stayed quietly. Only a few have had conflicts with humans."

"Have those chromatic dragons and monster tribes causing conflicts been noted?"

"They have all been recorded."

"Issue a notice for them to withdraw from the kingdom immediately, without delay. If they refuse to leave within three days, force will be used," Muria stated sternly.

Ever since the magical calamity began, due to the presence of Muria and the ten ancient dragons, an astonishing number of dragons have been flocking to the kingdom of Rockman, along with various monster tribes seeking refuge with powerful dragons.

Initially, only the metallic dragon tribe had been entering Rockman due to the ten ancient dragons. But by the second year of the magical calamity, six bold and arrogant chromatic dragons entered the kingdom territory.

Upon receiving the news, Muria immediately sent six storm giants, each mounted on a giant roc, to severely beat the six dragons and drag them back to the capital.

Many dragons thought these six chromatic dragons were doomed, considering their audacity to show off in a territory of metallic dragons.

However, much to everyone's surprise, these six dragons soon reappeared, now cooperating with humans to combat demons.

This news prompted many anxious chromatic dragons, who couldn't sit still any longer, to make their way towards Rockman.

Chromatic dragons are often seen as unwanted orphans; the lucky ones may be raised by their parents until their adolescent stage, but the unlucky ones are left as orphans, struggling to survive in the wild.

Facing almost every challenge alone without the support of their kind, or even less from other species, learning that Muria had sheltered six chromatic dragons without harming them led many to seek refuge in Rockman.

A country guarded by ten ancient dragons was seen as the safest place on the Nokia Europe continent for dragons feeling they couldn't survive the magical calamity elsewhere.

"Your Highness, I fear no dragon or monster tribe will want to leave the kingdom at this time," Bast reminded her, as leaving Rockman during such dire times was akin to a death sentence.

Nevertheless, staying in Rockman increased their chances of survival, though it wasn't a guarantee of safety through the calamity, as legendary demons might appear, possibly even a demon lord

's projection, as the presence of the wind king eagle had already hinted at much.

"Then conscript them. Every monster tribe entering the kingdom must submit to the kingdom's governance and send a portion of their able-bodied members to assist in fighting the demons," Muria declared resolutely, and as she made her decision, her clone managing state affairs immediately signed the related administrative decree.

The vast territory of the kingdom of Rockman, where less than one-tenth is actually inhabited by humans, leaves plenty of deserted areas for these monster tribes to inhabit, provided they can overcome the local beasts.

Should they think about attacking human cities, they'd face no mercy from Muria. "We shelter you, and instead of being grateful, you cause trouble? There's no such deal."

"Ah, little Muria, you're quite imposing now!" A voice laced with emotion sounded from behind Muria, causing all six Murias to stiffen slightly and turn their heads in the same direction.

A breathtakingly beautiful blonde girl stepped through a torn space and walked in.
