Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte ArcEmers Gallagher was nowhere to be seen and as far as I was concerned, that was good. Fighting for my life in the skies above New Siberia was bad enough, I didn't need my personal hunter there as well.We had pushed the Roslachnian Communist forces back to the border of what had been Alaska in my first world. Not the small sliver that stuck out into Alberta, but the old state proper. Once we won this battle, we will have captured the whole of Alberta and then we could move on to Alaska.Though I would be getting a break. My reward was a few weeks off, which I planned to divide between my two wives and my fiance. But I couldn't think about that right now.We were fighting a battle of Fort Stalin, with no relationship to the Soviet Dictator. As far as I could tell, there had to be some connection, right? Roslachny was this world's Soviet Union, so there had to be something.Whatever the connection was or was not, this was the last fort. The last gateway from Alberta to Alaska
Arc Chronicles Julius
We lapped into a comfortable silence as the bus took off. I watched the towering redwoods as we drove past, peering into the forest. Tyche was a very beautiful place if you were into the whole nature scene. It was a better view than my home, that was for sure. I wished I could have grown up in a place like this.As we came down the hill, I spotted a girl. She was hidden within the treeline, barely visible for a second as we passed. The girl was Asian, but almost forty percent of Tyche was Asian, so that didn't mean much. Her dark hair was tied in a single ponytail and she was wearing out school uniform, but I was sure I had never seen her before.That wasn't the weird part. The girl was carrying a sword. A freaking katana, straight out of some anime. Her uniform was bloody and clawed through like an animal had gotten a hold of her. Her eyes were glowing a molten gold.The bus drove by but she vanished beyond the treeline. I got up to try to catch another look, but the girl was gone."
Arc Chronicles Calixte
Okay, so Meganovel is on Singaporean time. I set this chapter to be released yesterday, thinking it would be on my local time. Opps. I did not mean to miss uploading, my bad. I will manually be uploading every day from now onThe protection charms that had been imbued into the wall were broken, so it was easy to get over it. The surface of the wall was smooth, so it was hard to climb, but compared to the protections it should have had, getting in was too easy.I sent Tanya first, literally flinging her over the wall. She was channeling her mana into her ShieldGem, which was a good thing because as soon as she was over, he heard firing. It was a good thing they received advanced combat training because most of his experience came from fighting in a warplane."You're up next," I told Rolo. "When you get to the top, give me a helping hand."Tanya didn't have the upper body strength to pull one of us up, so she would provide cover while we got over. Most of the base defenders were focused
Arc Chronicles Julius - Zane
For those of you wondering, my name on Webnovel is the same here and the story is called Strix. Not Strixes, that's an earlier version that is no longer canon.Julius - Zane - The StudentPrincess Euphemia left the palace with Rachel Edgecombe, the dangerous OSI officer. It was my first night on the job, and instead of guarding, and protecting her or the palace, I was charged with cleaning up her room.Most of the movies were Oyashimese Samurai dramas. I didn't peg her as the kind of person who would like samurai dramas, but I hadn't even had the chance to see her face to face yet. I had only heard her voice on the radio and seen reals of her in the theaters back home when I was studying her. She didn't come across as the kind of person who loves samurai dramas.Of course, I had only seen her in the propaganda"What would the public think if they knew their princess loved foreign movies?" I asked, putting the last real back in place."It doesn't matter what the public thinks. It matte
Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte Arc"What's the plan?" Tanya whispered her voice right next to my ear. Even so, it was so soft I almost missed it.I looked at Rolo and gestured to the guard closest to him. I hoped he understood and when he saw me, he nodded.I held up three fingers. A three count. Then I put down one. Then two. And finally, three. When the third finger was down, I jumped at the guard nearest me. I put my hand over his mouth so he couldn't scream and I infused my body with mana.The guard began to struggle, drawing the attention of his fellow. Before the other guard could so much as yell to raise the alarm, Rolo was on him. I put my arm around his neck, infusing as much as I could physically twist it. The guard's neck snapped with a pop.When I looked back over, Rolo had broken his guard's neck. We dragged their bodies back to the darkened stairwell, just a little way up. Next to the stairwell was a small dark corner, and we dumped the bodies over, quietly.I thought our goose was cooked when
Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte ArcThe commissar took a step back... and a bullet ran out. It didn't hit him, but it shattered the test tube on the table. "That was the only warning shot you'll get," Rolo said. He sounded so calm.But the commissar didn't hear him. The man turned around and stared at the broken test tube, his face losing all color. From the shattered glass, a pink vapor was raising."What did you do?" the commissar hissed. "The experiment! You tainted it!""What experiment?" I demanded to know, but the commissar seemed beyond word right now."I don't know. It was incomplete. Whatever this mixture was, it can't-" the commissar broke off. The pink mist wafted over him and he fell to the ground, eyes rolling in the back of his head.I didn't even have time to shout "Run" before I inhaled the sweetest scent of whatever had escaped from the vial. The world around me began to spin. Tanya, Rolo, and the commissar spun until they were shapeless black spots and the room around me vanished with them
Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte ArcNone of the others were stirring. Not the commissar, my wife, or my best friend. I could still see the pink vapor in the air, but it wasn't affecting me anymore. Why were the rest of them still under the effects of the vapor? Maybe it had run its course in me? Was I just lucky?I pulled myself off the ground, using the table the commissar had been working on to keep my balance. Now that I wasn't unconscious, I could smell the pink vapor. It reminded me of chocolate and strawberry milk. It was an odd combination of flavors, but it seemed good. Now that it wasn't putting me on the ground.I handled the commissary first. Putting my knee on his back, I took out my rope and tied his hands together behind his back. As tight as I could make them. Then I repeated the process with his feet.I quickly searched him, disarming him of his weapons and anything else he might be able to use to cut his bindings. Once I was sure he was safe, they wanted the commissar alive, I turned back to
Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte"Why would I tell you anything, imperial scum?"That was a good question. Why would he tell me anything? I hated his ideology, but that might be personal now because of Tanya and what they have done to her. They butchered her family in front of her and send her fleeing to a foreign country. I had a personal stake in it.If I truly believed in expansionism, if I bought into everything my father tried to sell me, and this man was attacking my beliefs, would I help him? No, of course not. I would do everything in my power to stop him and now h was doing that to me.I could try and trick it out of him, but I knew nothing about this commissar, so there was no point in weeding it out of him. I would have to know him on a personal level... Wouldn't I?I would just have to hand him over to the Office of Secret Intelligence. Mireille and Agent Caron would have to deal with him.I turned the next page in his notes, hoping to find something easier to read. Nope, if anything the Roslachni

Arc Chronicles Volume 1: Finale
Calixte Arc: FinaleThe plan was simple: divide and conquer. Once we finished dealing with the Roslachnian soldiers, it was a simple matter of planning the attack. Because of the vision, she showed me, I knew where to find that room and we were going in guns blazing.Bian and Alphonse were in first, charging power to their shield gems. The hail of gunfire was deflected from the shields and all the focus was on them.Rolo and Sasha followed, making another loud entrance, to draw the rest of their attention.I was sneaking in last. As the room was filled with the sounds of bullets and magic, I sprinted in under the power of a cloaking spell. It should have been called a camouflage spell because that's what it did. In the chaos of the assault, no one was going to notice me sneaking in.The plan played out perfectly. As I slinked in pressing myself to the wall, I looked around for her. For my enemy. Emer Gallagher, the woman who's haunted my nightmares since she almost killed me in Morocc

The passanger
We were supposed to board the plane at three, but we didn't get on the damn plane until five. Five o'clock, TWO HOURS after we were supposed to board. We should have been in the air by that point, but Charles de Gaulle airport was never the most efficiently run place.As we were at last allowed to board, I took one last look at the City of Lights. In terms of architecture, Paris was my favorite city in the world. I didn't get to visit often and I realized I was going to miss it. The three days of relaxation had gone by in a flash and I wished I could stay just a little bit longer. It was a very beautiful city and these days I never had many chances to relax.My life was my job. At least my sacrifice was about to pay off...***"Of course, sir. Please, enjoy the complimentary-"I waited for her to continue, but she didn't. My eyes were on the Paris skyline, but her silence drew me over. She was standing by my chair, holding the wine bottle. She was frozen. Not moving."Enjoy the compli

Calixte Arc
Calixte ArcAs the world swam around me, I was jolted back into a familiar scene. One that had happened less than an hour ago. This was the freshest memory I had ever gone back to.The dark figure formed a black ink sword out of its arm. It was large and bulky, and it pointed it at us. Before I could react, the creature leaped forward. Despite how bulky his sword was, it moved like a fucking ghost. Before I could defend myself, it was right in front of me. Its sword-arm gleamed in the light and he struck me in the chest full on.The question was, how did I get into this memory? The woman in that room must have been the one assailing me, but how did she do it? It had felt like she forced a spike of ice into my head and then I was here.That mental assault was more powerful than anything I have ever felt from her. I didn't know she had that amount of force. If she had... If she had... Why didn't use it before?I found out the creature was made of mana because my shield gem flickered to

Master Shadow - Calixte Arc
Master ShadowShe glared at the man in white, hunched over his crystal ball. She hated that she had to rely on him, but without his guidance, they'd be blind. Still, it didn't sit right with her."Where are they?" she demanded of him. Master Shadow had half a mind to run over and peer into the ball herself, but she didn't have the spells to work it. So she was left standing there, waiting."They just left the room," he said quickly. He didn't want to draw her anger, which proved he had a brain in his head."Where are the prince and the other one going?""They're heading towards the other intruders."Master Shadow rubbed her chin. They wanted to link up, did they? Her instinct wasn't to allow that, but it might be better. If she could cripple the prince in dreams and memories...But she had already tried that. He was resisting and the protection he put around his mind was strong. She could pierce him one more time, but after that, she wouldn't have enough power left. One last time and

The Inspector
The InspectorAs he was brought into the room, Inspector Calares watched him closely. The young man sat down with that calm demeanor of someone sure they weren't going to be executed. It wasn't an act and that surprised him more than anything else. If he was in that young man's position, he wouldn't have been able to remain so calm.If this interview went poorly, if the higher-ups decided he was guilty, Sanctus wouldn't just kill him. He'd be subjected to tortore as a tratior to the People's Union, a fate arguably as bad as hell. Of course, they would never send his soul to hell. The Party went to great lengths to ensure their people had a frame of reference to what happened to traitors.This man would be made an example of and Inspector Calares sure as he didn't want to be the one to send him there, but he had a job to do. If he failed, they'd turn their sight on him.The young man didn't say anything. He just grinned. Inspector Calares didn't meet his eyes at first. He picked up his

Calixte Arc
Calixte ArcThe enchanted bullet struck through the shadow, but I didn't have much time to admire my handy work. I thought I clamped down on my mind with iron, but the force drawing me back into my memories came back with a vengeance. The world swam again and drifted into the misty reality of my mind and my memories...Only it wasn't my memories. I could tell by the context of the misty world that there were memories. I was all too familiar with this state of mind now, but as the mist swirled around me and became solid form, I was in a room I recognized.Only because I was just there when I followed the source of these attacks back. This was the room of the woman who was orchestrating the memory attacks on me.She channeled her mana into the crest, watching as the Aquitaine team slowly surrounded the trap.As more plans landed and they were forced to retreat, the watcher brought her mirror up. She channeled her mana into it, creating a two-way reflection with her team."Commander.""W

Calixte ArcI couldn't do anything but watch as the shadow melted out of Alphonse's own shadow. At that moment, it truly looked like the grime reaper ready to begin its bloody work.The world turned to slow motion as the shadow swung its scythe. I aimed, looking down the sights at the monster about to reap my teammate.I channeled my mana into the bullet. I had to shoot now, or that thing would kill him- the world started to spin. No! Not now. I had to keep my eye on the prize and save Alphonse.I pulled the trigger before the memory could suck me in."You're probably right.""Calixte... Calixte and Tanya. Why are you so familiar?""Rolo, pin him down for me, will you? My arm's getting tired.""Roger."I took a deep breath and kept my arm in the same position. I closed my eyes and in an explosion of light, I was back in the real world.The monster cut through Alphonse's shoulder, but the wound didn't look deep. Or life-threatening. Alphonse fell to the ground, but that was just to rol

Shadow Master - Calixte
Shadow MasterShe watched as the prince blinked out of existence, not that he was truly there to start with. He had followed her mind back here, something she hadn't planned for. The boy was talented, but he was still new to the effects in the grand scheme of things. He shouldn't have been able to follow her."That boy." If she wasn't so furious, Shadow Master might have been impressed. As it stood, she was going to make him pay. He should have kept his guard up the whole time because she has a small point in his mind.With her shadow attaching him, the prince didn't have the time to stroll down memory lane. She'd throw him back into one of the memories he'd already experienced. Sure, he'd resist, but with that monster coming at him...She set the shadow to kill. She no longer cared what Emer Gallagher wanted. If the girl became a problem, Shadow Master would use the shadow to end her life as well. The Central Party couldn't fault her. Emer Gallagher was a hired assassin, nothing more
