Earth; mid-late 21st century;
Humanity occupies the surface completely unaware of an underground civilization of
dragons known as the
Subterrains of
Drekiheim, due to its protection by
dragon magic. Within the bowels of this grand subterranean ecumonopolis lies cultures and clans with lives of their own, complete with an internet-like collection of knowledge known as
Grand Archive Access, powered by an ancient artifact known as
the Grand Archive.
Recently,
dragons reincarnated from human stock have been regaining their human memories due to use of G.A.A., and as such may bring to bare the catastrophe that dragons hide from the surface to avoid: the
extinction of dragonkind by human hands.
The story follows a man from pacific-cost America after dying in his sleep from complications due to old age and being reincarnated as a
dragon. Upon hatching, his is immediately aware that all of his human memories intact; an oddity given that most who regain any memories at all don't until much later in life. Fortunately for the rest of dragonkind, he also wishes to avoid the extinction of a what he believes to be such magnificent creatures and cultures worthy of survival.
Short, but intriguing, with plenty of links to other articles for later reading. I look forward to learning more. Spotted a typo: "an oddity given that most how regain any memories at all don't until much later in life." Did you mean "who"?
