《The Forgotten Universe》Chapter 16: Camoron, the Dragon (an old friend of mine, he was a hard one to find. Pun intended)
Advertisement
“Cam! You home? We’ll be staying for a bit, so hope you don’t mind us intruding!”
“Drin! How’ve you been? It has been far too long since we last met up. so , what brings you and you gang here?”
“I’ve been making alot of movements in the past months, and the capital was sure to pick up on them. So I used the basic escape plan, and your place was the next on the list.”
“Any contact with the old bunch at all? I have fallen out of contact with everyone but Betoven. Ironic, considering how the two of us still fight like two girls after the same guy.”
“I actually caught up with Dick recently, believe it or not! Oh and Major First Class Bitch stopped by, and I made her into a link in the network.”
“So, who are the others with you? I recognize Book and Shad, but what about the two women with you?”
“On my left is Emiliot Darkoak, an old acquaintance of mine; and on my right is Yamada A. Orgin, Dick’s daughter. Trust me, I was shocked when I found out who her father was. Although you could just go back to chapter 4 and see my reaction first hand.”
“Question. What is your full name, and where are you right now?”
“Well Yamada, my full name is Camoron, and I am right in front of you. I am what is known as a tangible dragon, so I camouflage unconsciously. I apologize for that.”
“You’re forgiven. Drin said that the Capitol is not going to even approach this place. Could you explain why that is, as I know that the Capitol has an anti-dragon corps.”
“Simple. Those anti-dragon corps only do well against primal elementals, which can always be seen. Even against the rarer elementals and the other combinational dragons, they have some effectiveness. But against me, they have no chance. Finding me when I am camouflaged is nearly impossible, and they can’t cast detection spells for shit! Also, the Spirits in my territory are good friends with me, not to mention that some of them are really powerful, high ranking Spirits.”

“Cam, you’re forgetting the friend of a friend connections.”
“True, true. If you take that into account, there is Drin and his vast network of friends, informants, and confidants, the rest of the old brigade, my draconic friends, the reptilian cousin species, Betoven, the Spirit monarchs - both the king and queen - and all of the elven race to help me out against the Capitol.”
“That is a lot of backup! You must be the most backed up individual across the realms!”
“No I am not. Drin is even more backed up than I am. Along with the resources mentioned earlier, Drin has multiple species, nations, and fellow rebels who would gladly take up the sword for his sake when needed. All he has to do is say the word, and half, if not two thirds of the entire populus would turn against the Capitol; and they would have no warning. Drin also has some techniques that he doesn’t use, for reasons that elude me, so even if everyone else died, I doubt that they could wound him beyond a scrape.”
“You overestimate me Cam, as always.”
“You’re way to modest Drin. Feel free to boast about your achievements every so often.”
“Anyways, an old acquaintance of mine is under contract by the Capitol, and he’s as sharp as they come, with more than enough power to out do the primary attack of the Power Dragon.”
“That much! Sounds like Nare. Will you be okay with fighting him?”
“Yes it is Narriffian who is under the contract, and he has yet to best me in anything that we do. On the other hand, I may have to use THAT sword again.”
“Then let’s pray that a fight between you two can be avoided. I know how much you dislike that blade, especially after the realm FA controversy.”
“You do have the fifth piece of it, right Drin?”
“I do. And it seems that I will have to confront some old demons of mine in order to survive this ordeal.”

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
