Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 54
The donkey seemed to understand Ye Bai's words, instantly becoming even more excited. This time, instead of just bouncing in place, it charged forward with full speed, dragging Ye Bai into the mist.
Ye Bai was jolted around on the donkey's back as if she were on a rollercoaster, but she clung tightly to the donkey's neck, refusing to let go.

[You gained 1 point in 'Riding' proficiency.]
...
With the wind rushing past her and her vision blurred from the bumpy ride, Ye Bai simply closed her eyes, listening to the constant stream of system notifications.
This was good—she could level up her riding skill while at it.
In the world of "Boundless Realms," there was a mount system. Besides riding pre-tamed mounts, players could also tame their own. During this process, they would gain riding proficiency and also increase a unique value called [Taming Progress] for the mount they were trying to tame.
Taming Progress was a connection value between the player and the mount they were taming. It required time and effort to nurture, and once it reached 100, the taming process would be complete.
The mount would then be bound to the player. If the mount died in battle, the player could spend experience points to revive it. Some powerful mounts not only served as transportation but could also join in battles, becoming formidable allies.
The only limitation was that each player could only bind one mount at a time.
Additionally, whether it was severing the bond or attempting to tame another mount before completing the taming process, the Taming Progress of the previous mount would reset to zero. In other words, once you started taming a mount, you had to commit to it. Otherwise, all your effort would be wasted.
From the moment Ye Bai mounted this donkey, it meant she had chosen it as her mount.
She wasn’t acting impulsively out of anger.
Even though she knew the strategies to obtain powerful mounts like griffins, dire wolves, or hellhounds, after using the skill "Insight" on this donkey, Ye Bai had made her decision.
It wasn’t that she had discovered some astonishing data—it was the opposite. She received no data at all. The only feedback she got was [Donkey], with no level or attributes listed.
This was unusual!
If Ye Bai’s "Insight" couldn’t retrieve data, it should have shown a series of question marks. But there were no question marks at all, which meant one of two things: either this donkey was an utterly ordinary one, or it was some kind of advanced, special creature.
But if it were an ordinary donkey, how could it have stolen bread from Ye Bai’s inventory?
What was a personal inventory? It was a player’s "private space." Only under special combat conditions—like looting, territory wars, or faction battles—could items drop from a player’s inventory upon death.
There was no way an ordinary donkey could do something like that. So Ye Bai was convinced of its extraordinary nature and decided to try taming it.
As for whether Bai Ye would feel embarrassed riding a donkey alongside other lords in the future… So what if it was a donkey? This was a donkey from the Divine Realm!
Creatures from the Divine Realm were unpredictable, even for Ye Bai, who was the game’s creator.
The donkey dragged Ye Bai along as it ran wildly, but it wasn’t very large—just big enough for Ye Bai to ride. After running for a while, it finally grew tired.
It came to a stop, panting heavily.
Ye Bai wasn’t in much better shape. The wild ride had been like a rollercoaster, and even though her pain sensitivity was set to 1%, in real life, she would have been bruised all over from the donkey’s back.
Slowly lifting her head from the donkey’s back, Ye Bai was stunned by the sight before her.
Everything was a pale gray. The area was filled with massive white stones of the same texture. It was clear they had once been even larger, but now they were broken into fragments. Even though most of them were buried in the ground, each piece was still taller than Ye Bai.
Earlier, Ye Bai had seen some white rocks in the distance that seemed to be of the same material. The donkey’s random dash had brought her to a place with even more of these stones.
The white stones looked completely out of place against the black soil, clearly not naturally formed here. The way they were broken made the area look like… some kind of ruins.
Suddenly, Ye Bai’s gaze sharpened. She noticed a few large grooves on one of the white stones not far away. The grooves seemed to follow some kind of pattern.
Her heart tightened. That was…
Patting the donkey’s back and seeing that it wasn’t making any noise—just panting—Ye Bai decided to climb down.
“Hee-haw… munch munch.”
Feeling the weight lifted from its back, the donkey’s eyes lit up. It let out a sound, as if about to run off, but Ye Bai quickly stuffed a piece of bread into its mouth, and it instinctively started eating.
“Hee-haw!”
After finishing the bread, the donkey didn’t try to run. Instead, it stared at Ye Bai, its mouth twitching forward, and its eyes conveying a clear message:
Give me another one.
“…” Reluctantly, Ye Bai took out another piece of bread to appease the creature.
Watching the donkey devour the bread in a few bites, Ye Bai regretted not bringing more. She hadn’t carried much because bread wasn’t the most effective food for restoring health.
After feeding it another piece, the donkey finally seemed content to stay put, occasionally flicking its tail as it rested.
With the donkey settled, Ye Bai turned her attention back to the grooved white stone she had noticed earlier. She walked over and began to examine the patterns closely.
The grooves on the stone were massive, each one as long as Ye Bai’s arm. They looked like claw marks from some enormous creature, with a distinct pattern of depth and spacing that formed a unique, albeit twisted, design. It didn’t resemble any recognizable shape.
But Ye Bai quickly realized what it was. These weren’t random marks—they were words.
Not human words, but dragon words.

At the same time, her secondary profession as a [Historian] triggered, and a system notification appeared:
[You have discovered ‘Traces of the Ancient Dragons.’ You gained 10 points in historical experience. You gained 10,000 experience points.]
[You gained 1 point in ‘Ancient Dragon Language’ proficiency.]
However, Ye Bai’s first reaction wasn’t joy at the experience gain. Instead, she shuddered—
What terrible luck! Her first time using the Well of Origins, and she had been transported to the territory of the Ancient Dragons!
From the Ragehorn still in her inventory, Ye Bai knew just how fearsome dragonkin could be.
In this Western fantasy game, any creature with even a hint of dragon blood was not to be trifled with. If Ye Bai were to face a Ragehorn Earth Dragon in a level 20+ city-building token dungeon, she would need to prepare extensively. That creature was far more dangerous than the Crocodile King.
And this was a dragon from the Divine Realm. The Ancient Dragon clan was the true “Dragon Race.” In the Divine Realm, where powerful beings were everywhere, they were at the top of the food chain, commanding vast territories with their own clans, lands, language, and culture.
The Ancient Dragons were not only massive, with bodies as large as castles, but they also had near-maximum physical attack and defense stats, along with their own unique magic system—Dragon Tongue Magic.
No wonder the white stones here were so enormous. Anything used by dragons would naturally be on a grand scale.
So, had she ended up near the Ancient Dragons’ lair, the [Sky City]?
The Ancient Dragons, due to their slow reproduction rate, were relatively neutral in the Divine Realm—they wouldn’t bother you if you didn’t provoke them, but if you did, they would hunt you to the ends of the earth.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai’s heart tightened. The stronger the creature, the stronger its territorial instincts. Lingering here was dangerous. If she encountered a wandering Ancient Dragon, a single breath of its dragon fire could deal at least 2000+ damage. Even with her Crocodile King Bracers equipped, she wouldn’t stand a chance.
However, before leaving this place, of course, she first had to scan all the dragon language inscriptions on these massive stone ruins. Wasn’t this the exact moment she had specifically switched her secondary profession to Historian for?
Ye Bai transformed into a human scanner, meticulously exploring the nearby white stone piles, truly embodying the demeanor of an archaeologist.
[You have discovered ‘Traces of an Ancient Dragon.’ You have gained 10 points of historical experience. You have gained 10,000 points of experience.]
[You have gained 2 points of proficiency in ‘Ancient Dragon Language.’]
...
But as she continued her exploration, Ye Bai began to feel increasingly uneasy. This area of massive stones was far too vast, and the number of dragon language inscriptions was staggering.
The Sky City was a colossal dragon city suspended in the sky by dragon magic, where ancient dragons soared freely. As a powerful race that faced almost no survival threats in the divine realm, aside from a few challengers, they occasionally fought among themselves.
It was perfectly normal for fragments of buildings to fall to the ground during such conflicts. Ye Bai had initially assumed that the ruins before her were just another example of such “gifts from nature.”
But as she recorded more and more, she realized that these inscribed stones weren’t just one or two—nearly every massive stone bore dragon language.
This meant that before these stones had fallen, they had been inscribed with a vast amount of dragon text, suggesting they weren’t ordinary dragon structures.
Dragons had no habit or need for making paper; their language was typically recorded on buildings. Thus, these structures served both as architecture and as books.
If ancient dragons fought among themselves, they certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to do so on their important “books.”
One notification after another left Ye Bai’s heart racing. Before she could even finish exploring the area, she had gained enough experience from [Historian] triggers to level up to 25. Killing the Crocodile King BOSS had only given her a little over one level’s worth of experience!
Moreover, as time passed, Ye Bai’s proficiency in Ancient Dragon Language continued to grow. Stones with fewer inscriptions gave her 1 or 2 points, while those with more could grant 4 or 5 points.
Finally, with a *ding*, the system notified her that she had maxed out a life skill for the first time.
[You have learned ‘Ancient Dragon Language.’]
[You have earned the achievement ‘Dragon Language Expert.’]
The dragon language on the surrounding stones, which Ye Bai had previously been unable to understand, was now automatically translated and comprehensible to her.
Just as Ye Bai was about to step forward to examine the content of the stones more closely, she received another notification.
[You have discovered ‘Dragon Tomb Ruins.’ You have gained 100 points of historical experience. You have gained 100,000 points of experience.]
...Dragon Tomb? A Dragon Tomb!!
