As the fire spread along the counters, I quickly backed away, realizing the doors were on the other side of the room, providing a chance to escape. In the chaos, the imminent danger triggered a sudden recollection: "The bread!"
The encroaching fire nearly consumed the room, threatening the bread bag. My eyes darted towards it, prompting me to make a daring move. With a swift jump backward, I managed to save the bag, clutching it tightly.
As I sprinted toward the door, a sudden interruption occurred

"What!?" My salvation was in the freezer about to be engulfed in flames!
"The bag of bread..."
[7:20]
No time to think. I dropped the bag of bread, frantically scanning for a refrigerator. Spotting a tall wooden box in the kitchen's corner, I rushed towards it, almost breaking the handle as I opened the freezer.
Inside were more than a dozen egg cartons.
"How am I supposed to find the egg in all these cartons!?" I shouted in frustration.
Tick! Tock!---
[5:32]
"Only five minutes!?" Anxiety crept over me as I swiftly went through the cartons, lamenting the lack of clues to identify the dragon's egg.
"Hey! At least give me a hint!"
[Users requested denied!]
[4:20]
As I desperately searched, the ticking timer intensified. No differences among the eggs caught my eye.
Tick! Tock!
[3:05]
Three minutes had passed, and every carton revealed identical white, oval eggs.
[2:40]
"Think! Ugh!" I furrowed my brows, sweat mingling with the freezer's cold air. Arms crossed, I racked my brain, recalling an otome game with a dragon and a contract.
"Wait!"
A distant memory surfaced. The demon king made a contract using blood.
'blood! I need blood! But...which egg is the dragon's?'
Time was running out. Panic set in as I bit my thumb, releasing blood droplets.
!!!!
"Oh! How lucky! Now I don't need to worry about the pain."
The blood smudged against my skin, but uncertainty lingered.
"But how do I use this to find the dragon's egg?"
Near the egg cartons, I lifted my thumb, pleading for it to work.
"..."
Shk! Chk! Shk!
Shaking emanated from the cartons. Was it the dragon?
Tumbling through cartons, I located the source.
