About this listen
Trick the humans, steal the gold, gain the power, achieve god-like status. The motivations of a Diabolical Dragon.
Orion's unknown father...yeah, that shitty guy was a fey dragon. When Orion matures into a man, he spends a day in the snow transforming into a warehouse-sized dragon. Now he's hunted. Vile humans want to adorn his head as a trophy in their halls. Except, instead of letting the humans hound him, Orion blends in, swapping between dragon and human to carry out his diabolical plans.
Warning: This novella is not for the faint of heart. It contains a bad guy...an actual villain. Does he have motivations? Sure, but he still is the Diabolical Dragon. Contains a magical fantasy setting where men use dowries for their daughters, monster fey are considered scum, and nobility can do just about anything they want if they have enough gold.
This second edition contains all new chapters with 20 percent more content than before. Enjoy.

Story
Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi. The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic. The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want. Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

Taken from my old life with little memory of what brought me here, I wake up in a high tech capsule. A wrinkly old elf tells me that my soul is incomplete and has been fused with that of a Solar Dragon to give me a second chance at life. Where? When? An urban metropolis filled with fantasy races, erected atop the back of a giant asteroid. Meteoropolis. And millions of years in the future, to boot. But that's not all. I've got super powers, too. To add to the excitement, I end up hosted by an anxious unicorn elf named Pinky Peach who is basically a professional gamer girl.

Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

Well done
As far as the review goes this was a very well written story and the narrators did a fantastic job. The story is broken into four acts of which my favorites are the second and third. The ending was pretty good and made me think of the feeling I had at the end of Michael Scott Earle’s The Destroyer. With that said overall the slavery in the story and specially, even though the main character is evil, his active participation in it really bothered me. Like the aforementioned series for me it's a one and done and if there was ever to be additional books tied to this one, I would be out. That's just my personal preference. I would still recommend this book at least the people that I know would enjoy it.

Expected better
I have several of Marcus’ books and truly enjoyed just about all of them but this one is somewhat lacking. It’s like he cobbled together pieces of the layouts of what should have been four epic books into one massively time jumping and sometimes confusing one that often eludes to portions of the plot line that was left out or makes one think that this is the second, third or addendum to another book.
I would love to see this get broken up into more books that are better fleshed out because some of the story line that is missing sounds extremely interesting.

low key awesomeness
subtle charge in out look. maybe spoiler alert. # dragon playing human. I highly appreciate to change. Bad guy...mmmm not not so bad dragon. my absolute only con.... female voice needs a little more range. But over all.... timeliness in the story is ehhhh... but I only paused it for sleep. Definitely different from the stereotypes. But if book 2 comes out im gonna buy it. I want to know more about Gloria... wink wink.

Mc is not a good guy…
That being said he’s not a guy period but he’s definitely more “Fostering Faust” compared to Dragon Emperor. Read or listen and you will see the reason I chose those two examples.
It’s broken up into 4 Acts which is nice, though it went by pretty quickly. I definitely recommend!

Great Story of A Diabolical Villan
Now this is a story about a Villan I can support. Being a dragon our MC is understandably not constrained by human morals. Yet he does maintain a sense of right and wrong all while being a Diabolical Villan. He has his own set of morals that he follows. And while he does sell people into slavery, he only does so when his lovers abandon him and his "benevolence" leaving him feeling slightly betrayed. Understandable, given he, as a dragon, is a hoarder and does not approve of letting his "possessions" go without benefit to him.
Many people might see this MC as pure Evil but I think the benevolence he shows his own people is what is the most telling in that regards. His people gradually flourish while almost every other nation around his has considerable trouble with some being destroyed from within and others from invasion. But the people under his thumb have mostly happy productive lives.
Can you really call that evil? Diabolical absolutely. But Evil... I don't think so.
