“I’m Just an Ordinary Person Who Dreams More Than Anyone Else”

Andasia is a world ruled entirely by dragons—ancient, intelligent beings whose fire shaped continents and whose authority shaped history. Power is not questioned there; it is accepted as natural law. In this world of absolute dominance, a single human is born by accident. Aren grows up as the only human in a land that does not need him, fear him, or acknowledge him. Dragons do not persecute him—they ignore him. To them, he is biologically insignificant, politically irrelevant, and historically impossible. But to Aren, their indifference is unbearable. Obsessed with the idea that power alone defines worth, Aren dreams of ruling the world—not to save it, but to prove that even someone ordinary can stand above gods. Lacking strength, magic, or destiny, he turns to knowledge, strategy, and manipulation, believing intelligence can overcome supremacy. It cannot. Every scheme he sets in motion triggers consequences far beyond his control. Dragon politics do not bend to human ambition; they absorb it, weaponize it, and discard it. Wars ignite, lands burn, and lives are erased—not because Aren is powerful, but because the world is. When he is finally confronted, he is not treated as a villain or a savior, but as a miscalculation. Exiled and forgotten, Aren spends his remaining years among the ruins left by his dream. He abandons the desire to rule and instead records the truth of Andasia—its cruelty, its logic, and its indifference to ambition. His life ends without glory, legend, or redemption. Yet his words endure. In a world where dragons believed history belonged only to the powerful, a powerless human leaves behind the most dangerous thing of all: an honest record. This is not a story about conquering the world. It is a story about dreaming too much in a world that never promised anything.
