《Modern Weapon Summoning System》Chapter 79 - Let's Get Out Of Here
Advertisement
Walking through the shoreline was certainly not the thing that Del ever wanted when he arrived in another world, but it seemed that something that could be his dream turned into a nightmare since the beginning. But well, it happened, there was no need to cry over a spilled milk after all.
"It seems that we have walked for miles, right?" Cole asked.
Del looked at his tablet, "Not really, we only have walked for thirty miles, why do you ask?"
"Thirty miles??? I thought we have walked farther than that," Cole commented.
"Relax, I don't know where we are heading, but I am trusting Cassandra on this one," Del said.
It was almost midnight according to the watch on the tablet. They relied on their night-vision goggles to traverse through the shoreline without grabbing too much attention. Luckily, the sand of that shoreline was dark so it blended perfectly with their current camouflage. The enemies shouldn't have any night-vision device so they were safe for the most part.
"Cassandra, by the way, how will we call the ship? Do you use a flare or something?" Del asked.
"What's a flare? No, we don't use that, instead, I will throw an illumination ball at the sky to a certain distance. At least, one transport ship always roams around the shoreline of Elbanian to carry us, it's one of the perks of living in Ilbistirum," Cassandra said.
"Damn, that's clever, you can find out the information about the enemies and transport the scientist when they need to evacuate," Del said.
"Yeah, hahaha, well, it was a decision made by DEAFI," Cassandra said.
"DEAFI? What the hell is DEAFI?" Del asked.
"DEAFI stands for Department of External Affair and Foreign Intelligence, cool name, huh?" Cassandra said.

"Wait, they're not IS?" Del asked.
"Nah, they aren't. They're different although serve the same purpose for the most part," Cassandra said.
"I see, well, what will the ship do once you do throw the illumination balls to the sky?" Del asked.
"They will usually send a small boat to pick us up to the ship, it's simple, right? Anyway, Del, I think we have arrived at the designated position, I feel that we have walked long enough," Cassandra said.
"Sure, do your thing," Del said.
"Alright, [Utility Mode: Illumination Ball]!" Cassandra created six orbs of light and threw them into the night sky.
The orbs glowed brightly in the night sky. If Del hadn't slaughtered the soldiers in the northern area, they should have been spotted at this point. However, they weren't available at the moment since most of their dead bodies were lying on the ground.
Del sat down on the sand for a while. He was putting his hands around his head while thinking about what he would do later in Ilbistirum because he didn't even know the culture there. Cassandra and Cole were certainly good people, but they never see humans in a good light as far as Del could tell. Cole certainly wasn't excited to see him for the first time and Cassandra literally tried to kill him at their first meet.
He didn't even know whether Ilbistirum would allow a human to stay. Heck, he didn't even know where he could get funds there, Cole once told that there was a guild too in Ilbistirum, but did it work in the same way as the guild in Elbanian? Well, there was a lot of way to find out about that.
"Cole, once I get to Ilbistirum, do you have any idea on what I can do?" Del asked.

"What can you do? Well, Cassandra and I can figure it out, but for now, I think I'll allow you to stay in my house with my sister, you two aren't that far different in terms of age with my sister. Well, maybe two years gap won't feel that different, I guess?" Cole said.
"Ah, thanks, but where do you live?" Del asked.
"Well, I live in a comfy area located close to the city. It's kinda rural, but definitely more comfortable than living in Alder since our country actually properly planned everything," Cole said.
"I am really excited about it," Del said.
"Don't worry, Del. I think Internal Security will accept you with open hands if they hear my recommendation. After all, you aren't the type that doesn't want to get your hands dirty, right?" Cassandra asked.
"Well, kinda, but I'm not sure," Del said.
"Hey, it's not wrong to be patriotic, alright?" Cassandra said.
"Patriotic, huh?" Del asked.
A boat finally arrived at the shoreline. It was big enough to carry the four of them and there was someone paddling it to the shore. He was holding a lantern. "Are you four are the one that call me?"
"Yeah," Cassandra answered.
"Those two seems to be human, what's the reason you bring them? They're not slave, are they?" the person asked.
"Nah, both of them are my friends that need to take refugee in Ilbistirum, they will be under my responsibility. Do you need me to identify myself?" Cassandra asked.
"Well, yeah, I mean, it's on the standard operational guidelines. So, who are you?"
"I'm Captain Cassandra Gable, do you need anything else?" Cassandra asked.
"Oh, and who's the other demon?" The person asked.
"Me?" Cole asked.
"Yeah, you of course, who are you?" The person asked.
"I'm Corporal Cole Aguirre," Del said.
"I see, and those two, who are they?" The person asked.
"They're twins, one is called Del Moore and Anna Moore," Del said.
"Ah, alright, I see, well, I think you both can assign them to their respective assignment, now get on the boat, hurry, if the Elbanian saw us, we're done for," the person said.
Del and Anna got on the boat alongside with the others. They would be leaving Elbanian for good and it was the no point of return. It meant that he would be leaving everything.. It was not an advisory action, it was a necessity.

The American Dream: An Alternate, Time-Travel Timeline
Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from the year 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill is set to begin. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation uphold its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning. Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improves from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you have some interest in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off in the beginning, I promise that the story improves quickly.

Now, holding the power to level entire cities, he may be the last hope for a humanity on the edge of extinction.

A choice between humanity, and the pack. (Download as an eBook - choose your own price - at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1150699)

Countdown to Inferno
"Everybody wants to rule the world... even if it's a destroyed one." Three great powers divide the known world. One of them is on track to offset this power balance as it seemingly undertakes the grand task of unifying the world. After 100 years of brutal economic, military, political, and even religious campaigns, the Republic of Dalreida has achieved a vast empire stretching from the Cargan Ports to the Aramathian Desert. May they be gods and goddesses, or princes and princesses, the rising republic has embarked on depriving nation upon nation of self-governance. In the midst of all these, Dalreida's primary personality, Lord Piso, has been serving as the republic's dictator for six years. Entering his seventh year in office, he shocked allies and enemies alike with a hazy calendar reform. Along with it is a pledge to pass on the reins of power after the so-called "longest term." Then again, to whom will it be passed? Or will it be passed down at all? With so much at stake during the "longest term," what does Piso's gamble entail for Dalreida and the world? Will it bring heaven on earth? Will all hell break loose instead? Or something else in between to purge the world of everything it ever had?
