A Dragon King Tired of the Hustle
The story takes us deep into the dragon world, where things are honestly quite chaotic. In this realm, all sorts of incredibly strong people are constantly claiming supremacy, leading to massive conflicts that literally shake the heavens and the earth. Our protagonist, the Ryuo (Dragon King), is at the very top of this food chain, but he is totally fed up with it. Imagine having a life where big problems are occurring every single minute and your work never seems to end. He is basically burnt out from being the strongest and just wants some peace and quiet for once.
Suddenly, a magic circle for summoning a hero appears right before him. Instead of ignoring it, the Dragon King sees this as a perfect chance to finally skip work. He decides to jump into the portal, thinking he can finally enjoy a Ryuo-sama's Carefree Life in Another World. However, there is a big catch because his powers are just too much for a normal human world to handle.
The Struggle to Be "Incompetent"
When he arrives in the new world, he realizes that his basic specs are way too high. If he even shows off a little bit of his real ability, he might accidentally destroy the entire world he just entered. To avoid this and to live the slow life he dreams of, he tries to suppress his power so much that he almost feels like he is dying. Because he hides his strength so well, he ends up being exiled by the people who summoned him, as they think he is just an incompetent person with zero magical powers.
