《Building An Army In Another World With My Smartphone》Chapter 15.5
Advertisement
This happened on day seven of the Blood Moon apocalypse in Roland Houdart's territory.
Lord Roland Houdart was only thirty-two years old, but he looked like he was forty due to the recent catastrophe. Not only that, nearly over four thousand people were dying and starving all around his tiny territory of only two towns and three villages. Everyone was cooped behind the town walls, which looked like it would collapse if pushed with little effort. "What do you mean, the tax has increased!" he yelled at the man, who introduced himself as a tax collector. "Mind your voice; if you raise your voice against me, you're raising your voice against our Emperor." the tax collector says with a slimy grin. "I trust that the money will be ready when I'm back, in three days. I will now take my leave." After the tax collector left, Roland slumped back onto his chair. With tax nearly doubled, his people were dying and starving. There was no way that this territory was going to survive. Even with only one last day left of the Blood Moon Apocalypses, they would not even last another hour. "It would seem like you require some assistance." a female voice called out behind him, which surprised him. "W-what who are you!" "Fear not; my name is E5; I am here to present you an offer." "What do you want. If you can't see, the people are dying and starving out there; I have nothing to give." "We only want you to swear allegiance to us." "And who are you working for, the Union?" "No, we are an organisation that has no name; we hide in the shadows. But our leader decided that it was the time for us to reveal ourselves to the world." "And what does it have to do with me." "We need someone reputable joining our organisation, kind of like a representative. We have deemed you to be worthy." "What are the terms?" "We will provide food, water and will send some of our operatives to help you defend against the wave of monsters." "And all you ask is that I leave the Empire and join your organisation?" "Yes, as long as you stay loyal, we will keep giving you our support." "Why should I join you? I have no idea who you people are, and if the Empire learns that I changed sides, there will be war." "If you do not accept, you people will starve and die. This is the only chance you have." Those words resonated in Roland's mind. Unless the Gods intervened, there was no other way they would survive. "Fine, I want a written contract. Where are the supplies and troops coming from?" "A forest that you call the Abyssal forest." "The Abyssal forest! It's going to take a week to get here; we won't even be alive by then." "Please do not mind about our transport methods. Please place trust in us that supplies will arrive. For now, please sign this temporary contract. One with finer details will be made." Roland hesitantly signs the contract. "Very well, the contract is now signed. We will begin our support." Strange sounds began to come from outside of the courtyard. Roland rushes to the window and peaks outside. Outside was five of the Huey helicopters and a Chinook. Large boxes of supplies were dropped, and units with human faces began to flood into the courtyard. Of course, to Roland and the other people, this looked alien to them. "W-what are these things?!"

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).
