Arc Chronicles Hans Wagner
Interlude Hans Wagner 3"So, no longer a panzer operator?" Erwin said, taking a drag of the cigarette I had given him. It was a long and deep inhale and he looked like a smoke stack when he let his breath out."Why? Operating the new hardware is a prestigious posting. Why did you become an infantryman?"I took my own drag of the cigarette, deciding how best to answer. It wasn't fear that held me back from telling the truth, but embarrassment. The truth had been, the tanks were too hot. I had been sweating through my uniform in the hours of going from point A to point B. Even in the firefights, I couldn't stand how hot it got. I wasn't going to tell my best friend. "I just wanted a change of scenery."I could tell he didn't believe that, but he didn't push it either. Erwin was kind like that. "Enjoying your smoke?"He gave me a wry grin. "How could you tell?" he asked, flicking the ashes away."That's your third one. In a row. What's wrong, you addicted or something? The Gestapo don't h
Arc Chronicles Sasha
Interlude SashaSasha was having a pleasant day. She had grown used to the violence and the constant death that seemed to dog her every step while she flew, so days she could spend safely on the ground were her favorites.Prince Calixte was visiting Karafuto Prefecture and his future third wife, which gave Sasha free time. They wouldn't fly without him. She felt a little guilty about it, but she started longing for the days he wasn't around. The days when she wouldn't be risking her life.She was putting the finishing touches on a letter home when Bian found her. It had been almost a year since she had last been home. Her family came from a small hunting village in the Anji mountain range on the Prussian border. In the Great War, it had been completely untouched. The Prussians bypassed the mountain range entirely, thankfully. The war had ended shortly before she was born.From her parent's last letter, she knew the soldiers had come back. To warn them of a possible evacuation. Aquitai
Arc Chronicles Preview Chapter 1
Hello my dear readers! In about a months time, I will be posting a new story over on Webnovel. Webnovel is where Arc Chronicles originally started and I want to use again. I will be posting Chapter 1 here as a sort of preview to see if I can get any interested readers! I will notify you here when the story goes love on Webnovel! I don't have a working title yet, but I hope you enjoy the first chapter!PrologueWhen he came to, he was standing in the middle of a crest of light. Below him, an intricate woven tapestry of summoning crest was woven together. Someone with the Blessing of Summons had to have created it, but it went beyond a mere blessing. This was talent. Whoever created this had studied their ass off to craft it. The blessing was only one part.When she walked in, he knew it was her. She wore a white robe that hide her face. It had golden woven through it, in familiar patterns.Now that made sense. The House of Light was primordially an academic society in nature. They bowe
Arc Chronicles Calixte X
Calixte XI still wasn't over the whole kidnapping thing, but Kaya decided that I needed a tour of Nayoshi. I thought we were in the capital Toyomari, but when she kidnapped me, she had us taken to Nayoshi. If Karafuto prefecture had a party capital, I'm told Nayoshi would be it. Not only did it have the largest Oyashima red light district outside of Meiji, but it was designed to be a resort city. It reminded me of the picture of Japan I had seen in the eights, only as if there was an art deco 1920s filter applied over it.I tried to stay mad at her and I wasn't about to forget the whole kidnapping business, but as he drove through Nayoshi, I found myself in anime weeb heaven, if only in the wrong era. What I could only call precursors to figurines were displayed in shop windows, cute Oyashimese girls dressed as maids (some of the more risque kind) dotted the streets and tried to lure people in off the streets.It was a strange combination of imperial and modern Japan and honestly, at
Arc Chronicles Calixte XI
Calixte XI"And... Please forgive me," Princess Kaya said. It sounded like she had to force the words out."I'm sorry."I'm not sure I heard her right. Had Princess Kaya apologized? I had been trying to wrangle an apology from her for a few hours now and she willingly gave it up? Or maybe she was apologizing about something else?The sorry might have been in a different language, but it sure came slowly. It sounded like she wasn't used to apologizing. She was a princess, so who would she have to apologize to?"I thought it would be funny, to have you kidnapped." I opened my mouth, but she plowed ahead. "And it was. Very funny."I gave her a look. "That doesn't seem very apologetic to see."Princess Kaya shrugged. "What can I say? It was funny and to pretend it was not would be lying. I am sorry if I have caused you any distress. It got away from me."Got away from her? That was one way to put it. "I don't think it was very funny.""You're not on this side.""I suppose not." I wasn't th
Arc Chronicles Preview Chapter 2
I got a good reception on my first chapter for my new story, so I've decided to post the second here. I might post a third preview chapter, but no more than 3.Chapter IIIt took me a month before I accepted the fact that I was reincarnated. Or reborn, or whatever you wanted to call it. This wasn't some fever dream as I lay dying in a bus on the side of the road. I wasn't imagining this.I had become a baby. A freaking baby. A fate worse than death. Can you imagine it? Being fully aware of the world, being an adult, trapped in the body of an infant? My body wouldn't listen to me. I couldn't understand what my parents were saying and even if I could, I could not speak. When I tried speaking English, only gibberish came out.I couldn't eat solid food, my mother fed me from her tit. My mother was beautiful and I didn't know she was my mother in those first, few days, but I couldn't enjoy it. I was too hungry when she fed me. It felt like I was always hungry. I had died a virgin and this
Arc Chronicles Preview chapter 3
Okay, this will be the last preview chapter I release. I hope I've drummed up some interest for this story! Tomorrow, it's back to Arc ChroniclesChapter IIIWhen I was two years old, my family changed forever. My parents had been trying for years for another child and at last, they had her, a little girl named Vivienne. Though we were both combinations of our parents, she was the opposite of me: I had my mother's green eyes and my father's blonde hair. Vivienne had our mother's brunette hair and our father's blue eyes. It was a joyous occasion all around; I had been an only child in my last life, but now I had a sibling, a little sister.My parents doted on her and I fall in the same way. After my last life, I was eager to play the role of a big brother. I'd make sure nothing ever happened to her.A year later, our small family was blessed again and I was given a little brother. My parents named him Henri, and he looked nothing like us. He had a head full of black hair and eyes a bri
Arc Chronicles Last Preivew Chapter
Okay, I know I said last chapter, but I want to drum up interest, so one last chapter. Tomorrow arc chronicles returns, but with these four chapters, I hope you consider reading when I post this story on webnovel!Chapter IVThe end of my quiet, peaceful life came in the form of the Praetorian Guard. These days, they serve the ruling emperor or empress, but in my childhood, they protected and served the Aquroyan Senate.Until that moment, I had only seen legionnaires. No, I shouldn't call them that. The men that came to speak with my mother, who sometimes took her with them, weren't legionnaires. They were from the local garrison, not even adventurers. They had a few pieces of loose armor, but most of them wore cloth and rags. The weapons they had were rusted and old as if they had been left in the elements for years. Or they never got washed after a battle.I was out in the forest when they came. I was practicing swinging a metal sword. It was a few days until my twelfth birthday and
