Al's final mission should have ended with a trip home. Instead, it ended in another world. A world where dragons shaped civilization, magic governs everyday life, and men are so rare that a single stranger can shift the balance of kingdoms. Marked by the System with a unique summoning ability that draws from Earth itself, Al is thrust into a struggle between powerful noble houses, ancient prophecies, and forces that have waited centuries for someone like him to appear. Every level unlocks new possibilities. Every choice carries consequences. Some prophecies are discovered. Others are summoned. What to expect: LitRPG progression Military summoning Dragons and magic Kingdom politics Slow-burn romance Character-driven relationships Author's Note:This is the second release of Dragon Touched on Royal Road. I've spent the past year revising the novel, strengthening the worldbuilding, improving the pacing, and expanding many scenes based on reader feedback. If you read the original version, you'll find new content, rewritten chapters, and a much stronger foundation for the series.
