After millennia, she returns—uncontained by the system, unstoppable by the world.
------
For millennia, she has remained hidden, sealed within her domain—a vast library, a paradise of indulgence, and an escape from the world’s endless demands. Once a ruler burdened by duty, she vanished, leaving behind only myths.
But when her dwindling supply of medicine forces her to step outside for the first time in ages, reality comes crashing back.
A temple—hers—sealed beyond anyone’s reach. A forgotten cave concealing the portal to her domain. A thriving city where an endless forest once stood.
And a system that should not exist.
[Processing… Attempting to integrate unknown entity “03”]
Yet, as the system struggles to comprehend her existence, she can’t help but marvel at the changes. New magic. Strange technology. Unknown forces waiting to be unraveled. If she were to reclaim her power, the world itself might tremble beneath her.
As a shattered past stirs and seals become unbroken, one truth becomes clear—the peaceful times are over
And the world has no idea what it’s about to unleash.

![Reborn as a DRAGON [STUB]](https://cdn.scribblehub.com/seriesimg/mid/14/mid_294265.jpg)
I have been told that, my complaints, are temporary. Will revise review at a later point
For a novel with an 'Apathetic Protagonist' tag,
Who, within the novel, has straight up sealed her own emotions,
and then takes drugs to seal seal them further upon that..?
There aren't even the slightest signs of apathy.
The MC is very, very emotional.
They almost appear bipolar with how quickly their emotions can swing from one to another.
Unfortunate, and not at all what I was hoping for; I don't think i'll continue reading.
On the other hand, what i've read so far, is very well written. It's clear the author knows what they're doing and have the ability to pull it off. I don't at all think the novel is bad, but it wasn't what I was hoping for or led to believe from the tags.

Holy f**king sh*t this is amazing!!I
LOVE evil protagonists as they are by far the most enjoyable kind of protagonists to read. This story has so much potential that It's almost overflowing. I really f**king enjoyed this story and really want to see where it goes. I do hope the MC actually stays evil. I haven't been this absorbed by a story in a while. I am honestly looking forward to more of this novel and really really want more.
I'm a bit apprehensive about what undoing the seals will do to her and romance at the MC's power level most of the time only leads to one thing.
I do hope she destroys humanity. Far too many evil mc's that try to end humanity end up as love-starved losers that can only function with their significant others (maybe a protagonist will finally destroy humanity ( (i've never seen it happen before tbh maybe this will be the one)))

A very detailed and well-written story, I can tell the author planned everything out from the start and it makes it a very interesting read.
The only issue was large info dumps in the early chapters and long paragraphs.
Other than that it's a 10/10 story, highly recommend it! :D

This is an amazing book so far. I have read up to the latest chapter (32) and I haven’t been disappointed so far.
While the idea and picture of the MC is a bit blurry at times. Unexplained. She is still a very amazing character and has lots and lots of power, potential, and humor even if she’s more put out at a villainous type.
I like the world building, going from a time before most modern civilizations were established well enough. To a later time where most things technology based are being discovered.
Overall a nice read so far and I haven’t really seen anything bad about it yet other than character type descriptions.

Very enjoyable.
As far as the book goes, have not got very far but the MC is very fun and enjoyably unhinged, I hope that she doesn't become to... civilized as the story goes on because it is one of the best parts.
The worldbuilding is fine, pretty standard a few potentially good possible buildups but not far in and to be fair the author has not had the opportunity to make a complex world so maybe I will reserve judgement.
This overall review may come off as a but harsh, for 5 stars but I do think its worth it, havent noticed any egregious spelling word or grammar mistakes so really not much to comeplain about.
Honestly, just writing this so the author keeps going, but I do recommend if you enjoy fantasy and OP characters.

An enjoyable story with a fun cast of characters. A classic story of finding oneself amongst the maddening chaos of the unknown. The main character is a schizophrenic megalomaniac, with a barely functioning moral compass during her better episodes. Will her descent into madness make her a better person, who's to say?
I'm enjoying the theme of modern fantasy story tropes with a dark twist. If you like dark fantasy such as The Black Company, Night Angel, this will be right up your alley.
