When did jaeil die? I thought he was missing

I’m pretty sure he was thought of as missing or listed as that but in reality it was the long white haired officer that killed him in the beginning during the aberrant assessment cuz his power was too weak to become an officer and they didn’t want him to become a criminal with an aberrant advantage either ^^

Is there a novel?

Yes there is as it said so in https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/how-to-survive-as-a-dragon-with-time-limit-novel
But unfortunately I don’t know a website that has this novel

I could only found the raw of the novel: https://booktoki328.com/novel/7084811?stx=%EC%8B%9C%ED%95%9C%EB%B6%80+%EB%93%9C%EB%9E%98%EA%B3%A4%EC%9D%98
Chapter 17 of the manhwa is around chapter 22 or 23 of the novel.
Let’s goooooooo!
