《The Invitation》Chapter 25
Advertisement
Dorian stared at the mix of people and tried to keep track of the hundred conversations that were currently going on.
How did he get here?
He wasn't very good at making plans but this was nowhere close to what he had in mind when he made the mistake of sneaking into the Armeshires.
As if sensing the tension on shore, the ocean waves grew larger and larger and more uncontrollable.
Amid all the chaos, stood Leah.
Calm, composed, and completely in control. This baffled Dorian and he didn't how she did it, mere moments after having a gun pointed at her head. A gun that he had pointed.
He'd always known that there was a risk when he pursued his thirst for vengeance.
He knew that there would be a part of him, perhaps the emotional, softer part of him that would be lost forever. And he had thought that it would be worth it, for most parts of him after his sister's death had been so irreparably damaged, he thought that he could handle whatever came next. But how very wrong he was.
Standing there, in the middle of a group of frenzied adults, Dorian wondered if it was worth it. Maybe he could just give up.
Make peace.
But no.
The Armeshire's had to be punished, and one way or another, Dorian would get his revenge.
"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!", he yelled.
This silenced everyone.
"I know that some of you may be wondering what the hell's happening over here, so I'll tell you. My name is Dorian and you're living with murderers."
Pleased at the stunned looks on their faces, Dorian continued.
"The Armeshire's killed my sister, She had been invited by them, just like you, to their island for a party not so many years ago. They asked her to join their crazy cult and my foolish, trusting sister agreed. Of all the guests, she was the only one who lost her life. And it was all because of the Armeshire's. So, I'm warning you now. Run. Get away from here, or you will be next."

There was a pause.
Silence.
Filled with nothing but the sound of the waves against the shore and the breeze against his skin, when suddenly everyone erupted out, talking at once, over each other, forgetting Dorian was even there.
This was the opening Dorian had been waiting for, and so when the next wave crashed down, Dorian disappeared with the receding waters of the ocean, leaving everyone wondering.

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
