Dragon King of the World (often linked to the Dragon Raja series) is a cornerstone of modern Chinese urban fantasy, penned by the acclaimed author Jiang Nan. As a central pillar of the massive Dragon Raja (Long Zu) franchise, it has evolved into a global phenomenon spanning high-budget donghua, manhua, and an industry-leading mobile game. The series is celebrated for its cinematic scale, blending contemporary youth culture and "coming-of-age" tropes with a dark, high-stakes mythology where ancient gods walk the streets of modern cities.

The saga focuses on Lu Mingfei, a self-deprecating high school student who is suddenly whisked away to the mysterious Cassell College. He soon discovers a hidden society of "Hybrids"—warriors born with dragon blood who serve as humanity's secret line of defense. As the Dragon Kings begin to awaken from their eons-long slumber to reset the world order, Lu Mingfei must navigate a landscape of elite internal politics and apocalyptic warfare. Despite his humble beginnings, his "S-Rank" potential suggests a destiny that could either save civilization or become the catalyst for its ultimate destruction.
