《I, The Dragon Overlord》Chapter 15: A Transmigrator’s Proper Position
Advertisement
Asides from the elven army stationed within the Silver Moon Kingdom, most elven warriors fought in small groups and employed guerrilla tactics. This made them particularly suited for attacks in the forest as against the plains, where they’d likely lose to humans or beastmen.
However, each elf was quite powerful on their own, and they possessed a keen eye for taking advantage of the terrain. Though their low fertility rates made it hard for them to invade other territories, they were more than enough for them to defend their own home grounds.
In the forest outskirts of the Forest of the Moon, the elves had prepared for conflict with the humans. They banded together in groups of ten to a hundred and waited for the human legion to arrive before cutting through the battlefield with their superior individual abilities and cooperation.
But this time, the perennial war between humans and elves took a different turn.
The elves had far better eyesight than the humans, and so they could notice the battle taking place in the distance. They saw the terrifying dragon descend on the battlefield before commencing its massacre of the human army, and even the powerful legendary rank warrior of the Theocracy’s Holy Iris Order Commander died fruitlessly. Even if the dragon was there to help them, the elves could not help but feel a deep terror in their hearts and chill in their bones. Some even bemoaned the tragic fates of the humans.
This was the instinctive fear of the weak in the face of the strong. However much they tried to climb up the ranks and raise their abilities, they could do nothing but fear those powerful forces who could treat them like ants.
“That dragon looks like it's going to ‘Central City’. What should we do?”
On top of a tall tree, two elven scouts were hiding among the dense branches and leaves. As rangers, they had even better eyesight and were able to observe the entire battlefield.

The elves were known for their elegance and beauty. Even ordinary female elves were beauties in the eyes of other human-like races with similar aesthetics.
“The other scouting squads have already reported the intelligence to the upper echelon. We just have to wait for the news…… Lady Silver Moon, that giant dragon is too terrifying. I have seen dragons before, but this is my first time seeing one that big. Just looking at it is enough to paralyze anyone. I don’t want to fight against such a creature.”
One of the female elves patted her chest. Her voice still trembled at the sight before her.
“That is a demigod dragon. If we fought against him, it would inconvenience him the same way you’d be bothered if something were stuck in your teeth. This is the first time I have heard of one of its kind. Could it be an ancient dragon that lived for many years and has only just awakened?”
The other elf also showed a terrified look, and her neck subconsciously shrunk back.
At this moment, a metal badge on her chest shook. The elf collected her expression as she solemnly faced the badge. It emitted a green glow and transmitted the message directly to her mind.
“Orders from General Sisna. We are to ride to ‘Central City’ on hippogryphs!”
Although neither of the two elves wanted to see the terrifying dragon, military orders could not be disobeyed. The two looked at each other and nodded. They pinched their fingers and whistled.
The distant trees swayed slightly. Two giant eagle-like creatures stretched their gorgeous wings and flew over after hearing the sound. The two elves quickly stood up, and at the same time, more than a thousand similar eagles rose from the forest. They quickly turned into black shadows as they advanced following the dragon.
…...
Although Louie was huge, he wasn’t the least bit slow. It did not take long before the city was completely displayed in his sights.

From a high altitude, he could tell that it was built within a valley in a mountain range. Even Louie, with his demigod vision, and at an altitude of thousands of meters could not see the limits of the mountainous landscape before him. The mountain range seemed to split the continent in two
Towering mountains and precipitous ridges were littered over the terrain, and traversing it would be dangerous for anyone, to talk less of it being conducive for human survival. Despite that, however, someone had built a city smack in the middle. Louie did not know much about wartime strategy, but he could understand that the city was a key location in contested land. Whosoever held it could attack and retreat with ease.
Compared to the metropolises on earth, the city before him was rather small. Louie could make out its edges from the altitude he flew at, and its technology only seemed to exist at the medieval level. Nevertheless, Louie knew that its strength definitely exceeded the cities of medieval Earth due to the existence of magic and other extraordinary powers.
“No wonder it’s called Central City. Even if it’s not at the center of the continent, it's definitely a transportation hub.”
Louie gazed at the city from the sky. He could see dense black dots quickly moving. Presumably, the city’s inhabitants had noticed him and started a commotion.
Even if his body was thousands of meters in the air, his massive frame could still convey an idea of his size.
“Well, there’s not much time left. Let’s see if I can get rid of this city.”
Thinking like this, Louie did not hesitate in the slightest as he swooped down.
Louie’s initial intention was to do low-key transmigration. He honestly wanted to find a deep mountain forest to nest and hide in until he became strong enough. Only then would he come out of the mountains. That was the right thing to do as a transmigrator.
But because of the contract and because of the deceptive intelligent brain, Louie could not make his ideas come true. In order to complete the contract to defeat the human army, he would have to act in a high-profile manner from the beginning.
Louie’s mind raced. After finding out that his strategy of building high walls, accumulating grains, and slowly becoming king could not be implemented, he immediately decided on a new approach to combat.
Since his ultimate goal was his own safety, then he would be completely high-profile and more confident. He would show the world his matchless power, slaughter the human army, slap the powerful legendary rank warrior to death like a dog, and cause the fall of an important city. This would truly demonstrate his demigod might.
For this reason, Louie pretended that he was really a long-lived dragon with its pride, warped sense of honor, and incomprehensible persistence.
Still, the fact that he had to constantly speak in an arrogant tone made him feel uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he had to deal with it.
Louie was only a baby dragon at the moment. This power as a demigod was only borrowed from the divine power left inside the godhood. This was not his true ability and could only be used as a trump card.
Under this situation, the best way for Louie to show his strength was to display unbeatable power, so that others would fear him and hesitate before daring to retaliate. This way, even if he appeared as a baby dragon, others would only think that this was his bad taste and not his true appearance.
What Louie wanted to do was to spread fear and awe that would provide him a relatively safe space to live!
Who would dare provoke a demigod dragon? Who would ever imagine that the terrifying Demigod dragon was just a baby?

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside.

Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring.
