Suradel is an ancient dragon.

Are you surprised? You never thought the spoiler would deny Suradel as a killer whale did you?

To top it off, he is an ancient dragon. He's an old one that pulls pranks on his family's knights telling them to run fast because the last one to finish will kiss the captain. Lmao

Suradel is an ancient dragon who was put into hibernation inside a glacier by his parents in preparation for the world's extinction process that would wipe out most magical races.

When he woke up he found an adele penguin habitat nearby, and watched his favorite penguins with glee.

Suradel went out to explore the new world, and spent hundreds of years doing everything he could imagine. He built a kingdom and burned it down. He destroyed countries and fought heroes. Life became boring and meaningless when he had no one around. All races were instinctually terrified of his power, no one could stand as an equal. Suradel wanted to stop everything, he was tired.

Why was he alone? Why couldn't he just live with his parents and die in the extinction event with everyone else? Why is he all alone?

Suradel settle back in his nest and watched the adele penguins waddle around. He wanted to touch them, hug them, feel their belly, but he couldn't. He would terrify them.

Bella, the last killer whale, came in search of the cause of a huge beam of magical light (Suradel was just casually using summoning magic) and came across a lonely dragon in a penguin's territory.

Bella had just lost her child and ability to reproduce when she found a dragon like-a-child who lacked a parent's love. Being a killer whale, one of the kings of beasts, Bella rarely was afraid of others. She was instinctually afraid of Suradel but rationally she calmed herself. She knew he would attempt to die soon, so she asked him to live with her as her child. At least until the end of her life, and hopefully within that time frame he would find something to live for. Suradel was adopted by Bella.

Suradel took Bella's offer as a way to kill boredom before he could no longer stand it. While living as Bella's son, Suradel, who had the ability to polymorph, lived as a killer whale.

The world is like a white board.

A novel is drawn out and written, start to finish. Then erased.

The next novel starts on the ruins of the old novel. It's drawn out, start to finish. Then erased.

The next novel starts on the ruins of the previous novel. It's drawn out, start to finish. Then erased.

This repeats. Forever. There are history books of saints foretelling the stories of the future. Human extinction novels, magical race extinction novels, the world builds a beautiful story and burns it to write a new story.

So we already know Adelia's soul hails from south Korea right? Leaving that there.

Here's the penguin's secret.

The adele penguin egg, that the tower lord hatched, came from Suradel's pockets. Suradel is an ancient dragon who was put into hibernation by his parents in preparation for the world's extinction process that would wipe out most magical races.

He was encased in ice, along with an adele penguin egg. The egg absorbed Suradel's magic after hibernating with him for centuries. Suradel never thought much of the egg.

After spending hundreds of years doing everything he could imagine and having no one to share experiences with because all races were instinctually terrified of his power. Suradel wanted to stop, he was fed up, why was he alone? Why couldn't he just live with his parents and die in the extinction event with everyone else? Why is he all alone?

Suradel thought that if he took a soul from another dimension, that being would not be afraid of him and would live by his side. So he cast strong magic to summon someone from another world. And no one came. He looked everywhere. No one came, the magic failed. Suradel is tired.

Wasting his days watching the cute adele penguins waddle, fight, make stone nests, and playing around. Suradel really loves watching penguins, but he could never get close for fear he will scare them off.

Suradel hears a rumor that the tower lord is searching for ancient eggs to try hatching them, Suradel takes the adele penguin egg from his nest and gives it to the tower lord. The hatching succeeds, and Adelia is born.

She has the BEST personality. She is honest and says things straight to their face. AND! She's a penguin that loves stone. Whether literal pebbles or shined gems, she loves them. She learns from reading novels and knows where and when cliches can and will happen. She's like: we need a doctor, it's great if he's talented, but it's better if he's known as eccentric or a lunatic, you know, because it's like that in every novel. As well as avoiding death flags like "I'll tell you everything when it's over".

+ Anger management issues

+ Vain

+ Not your classic 's*upid heroine'

+ Has something called common sense

+ 🦆ing adorable

Bigger spoilers:

And don't get me started on how she summoned a devil and when he asked for her life she's like: "Ah, no thanks, I'll beat you until you beg me to send you back to hell 😊"

He is called crazy but he's just a funny guy. It's difficult to hate him. And unlike most stories where the ML's are constantly denying their feeling towards the FL, he realises really early and instantly tells her he loves her. She didn't care tho.

Best boi. Is a big pushover but will shove his sister in a sack if needed. He's Iprus's older twin brother and they act like normal siblings.

Best gril. Acts like the bigger sister and is violent.

The last arc (100-126) is really a hot mess. The story is still good, but could've been omitted or replaced and the story will still be good, if not better

summoning a high level demon

he could be an amazing character if author didn't decide to make him villain for 20 chapters. I was impressed with his character and I was looking forward to seeing his trueself after he was released but the outcome left a sour taste in my mouth.

POV bounces around, so we know that everyone in the family knows she's a penguin and accept her entirely. FL's Dad hasn't reappeared at all, but at this point he's so frazzled that he won't mind FL's humanization.
