Arc Chronicles Euphemia
Director Edgecombe's smile was predatory. "Of course. Let's return to the pig for slaughter.""Pig for slaughter?" I repeated. If what she said about this place was true, I guess that was a good way to describe him. "Tell me about this Hang Gao.""As I said, my agents approached him with an offer. He was the right kind of person, a Corain citizen. We had investigated him for months before we approached him.""Why? Did you suspect something was wrong?""We wanted to know more about his life. What could we turn him in with? Did he have a wife and an affair? Did he have some secret he didn't want to get out? Something like that. We found out he lived in a small shack, barely scraping by, living off scraps.""So you offered him money?"Director Edgecombe nodded. "We offered him a lot of money, but it was more than that. We offered to train him, not just as a spy, but in a field that would make the cover we wanted to give him easier. We wanted a high society roller, someone that would be a
Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte ArcThankfully we didn't have to stay long after that. No Roslachnian warplanes appeared, and it wasn't long before our warplanes dominated the vastness of the skies. Once it was clear that we controlled the sky, it wasn't long before the army moved in, occupying even more of the Roslachnian land. Former land. Once the conquest was complete, Tanya's family would be given New Siberia to rule.Mireille and Agent Caron stayed with the buildings, to wait for scholars that would know more than them. The Office of Secret Intelligence recruited a small retinue of knights and special forces soldiers to guard the building and my wife. Which was something I was thankful for.Troop transports arrived to drop off the knights and special forces team, which left enough room for us. The Air Corps would retrieve our borrowed warplanes, so we were free to leave. The transports took us back to the Acadian border, where I was whisked away by base staff.The rest of his team was going to be debri
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

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
