Kidnapped Dragons Chapter 434

Synopsis

– The planet [Earth] has entered the abnormal state [Apocalypse]. – You have failed in saving the Earth. The Authority, [Vintage Clock (EX)] rewinds the world’s time. For Yu Jitae, it was a message he had seen many times. It was tiresome. It would have been great had he died with everyone else. But he couldn’t, for his authorities that made him the strongest existence, brought him back in time whenever he died. And even with his strength, he couldn’t protect the broad earth against the maddened dragons. – The world’s time will soon begin. As the clock resumed ticking in the direction it should, his 7th iteration came to a start. Fortunately, he finally had the gist of it.

Kidnapped Dragons is a completed Korean webnovel (425 chapters + side stories) that serves as a masterclass in the Regressional Slice-of-Life genre. While the premise involves an apocalypse and an overpowered (OP) protagonist, the core of the story is a slow, emotional journey of a broken man regaining his humanity through the act of raising four hatchling dragons.

Yu Jitae has regressed six times, failing to save Earth every time. In his 7th iteration, he realizes that the key isn't killing dragons—it’s raising them. By gathering the four baby dragons (hatchlings) who accidentally cause the world's end during their "Amusement" period, he transitions from a "mechanical killer" to a "reluctant guardian."
