"Have you heard what I was saying?"
"...Nope."
"Haaah... anyway, have you decided on a weapon yet?"
"I think so, yes."
"And?"
"The crossbow, it is the only weapon that I might, perhaps, have an idea of how to use, maybe."
"Alright. You will be a ranged combatant, I assume you haven't bought it yet?"
"No."
"Then you will want to make haste, we have an scheduled summon."
"Summons can be scheduled?"
"Of course they can, now go get the crossbow. Oh and, don't forget to buy some arrows too."
"Right, they need ammunition."

"All right soldiers! The cycle has come! Some idiot is trying to weasel their way out of a contract and we ain't about to accept that are we? So now we are gonna take that idiot and shove his head so far up his ass that his soul will be inside out by the time we are done. Now i know large scale operations are not the usual and some of you might be feeling cranky, but i also know that you all are of pride, so you will take those complaints and choke on them until we finish the operation 'cause guess who? ENVY!. That's right folks, that's how the idiot is trying to get out, and are we gonna let those fuckers have half a reason to parade like peacocks in front of us for the next batch? Hell. Fucking. NO! So man up and get going till those rats go burrowing back to the fucking hole in the ground they call home! Now refer to your superior officer for each individual mission."

"You heard the liutenant colonel boys, now go get everything you may need and come back, we set out as soon as everyone is here."
""Yes, sir.""
"You stay, newbie."
"Sir?"
"You got the crossbow already?"
"Yessir."
"Alright. You aren't part of any squad yet so you will be allocated to the ranged company, probably the crossbow platoon, go to the shooting range and speak with the corresponding officer."
"Yessir."
"Those with shields upfront, i want a row of pavise in an inverse semicircular formation, when we get there we will have to take high ground and start loosing, if they think some shitty village palisade will be enough to make us lose in range they have it coming."
"Sir?"
"Yeah? What?"
"I've been sent here to join the ranged company, sir."
"Oh yeah? What's your name?"
"Last, sir."
"Let's see... A newbie? And in probation? Fuck. Do you have any experience with that?"
"No, sir. But i have experience with more advanced ranged weapons."
"Oh, you do? Thank god, what would we do without you? Get in that line there and try not to get killed, maybe you'll even hit something, just try not to make that something an ally."
"Yes, sir."
"As if i was not in enough shit already they want me to take care of some newbie..."
Note to self: Not piss off ranged company's Captain.

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

The King (Kralyat)
Balhkara – a kingdom once known for its glory and beauty before corruption and exploitation left its people gobbled up by hatred and greed. Twenty years ago, that kingdom lost its last King and since then it had been slowly sinking in an endless pit of abyss. Even though no one knows how the King died and who was responsible for the royal family’s demise – story has it that the late King was betrayed by someone close. One version of the story has it that his second wife was a spy and killed him, then burned his children during the infamous “Palace Accident”. Another version has it that a maid was jealous of the Queen and poisoned the whole family. With time passing, the story twisted further and blurred in with people’s imagination to the point that no one truly remembers the initial version. Interesting enough, one day three hunters from Balhkara receive a mysterious invitation for a private mission to look for a missing person. Upon meeting the employer, they learn that the Prince of Balhkara is still alive. Will they manage to find the Prince? Will that Prince, however, return to his rightful place and restore the glory of Balhkara? A story full with adventures, moral dilemmas that creates an allegory of today’s world and its state.

Candle burning in the dark
This is the story of Alyssa and Mireille, two girls in a world of Magic. They are forced to leave their homes by differing circumstances and must come to terms with their own magical abilities and the problems those bring. Alyssa is hunted for what she is, while Mireille is not certain what and who she wants to be but drifting along is not an option when her life is on the line. They live in a world that is torn by strife where humanity is not the pinnacle of existence. This is a world of high fantasy. It is my first written story. I am a non-native speaker. I will not go out of my way to shock people but the content will at times be traumatizing for sensitive people. At the moment I would guess the story to be PEGI 16 perhaps? It's light on the profanity at least? Cover from unsplash.com
