George McDonald wasn’t exactly living his best life—awkward, timid, and perpetually unlucky, he was more of a spectator than a participant. When a tumble down a flight of stairs ends his life abruptly, George’s misfortune seems complete. That is, until he meets the benevolent Goddess of Flowers. Granted a single wish, George vows to become everything he wasn’t: strong, fearless, and capable of greatness.

But in a twist of fate, George’s new life begins as a lizard in a mystical forest teeming with danger. With each battle he fights—and hilariously bumbles through—George gains experience and evolves, climbing the magical hierarchy of the world. From a scrappy drake to a majestic golden dragon, his journey is filled with absurd misunderstandings, snarky commentary, and unlikely friendships.

When rogue dragons threaten to ignite a war between humans and dragons, George must rise as a leader, navigating a fragile alliance while discovering the true power of his wish. Can a once-cowardly teenager-turned-dragon unite two worlds on the brink of chaos?

Brimming with humor, heart, and epic isekai adventure, The Time I Died, Met the Goddess, Made a Wish, and Became a Golden Dragon is a tale of self-discovery, courage, and proving that even the unlikeliest heroes can achieve greatness—one clumsy step at a time.
