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
Arc Chronicles I'm not home, do I have this
Yesterday was supposed to be my lasy preview chapter, but I won't be home until tomorrow and that's where all my Arc Chronicles are. On my Laptop, at home, and since I didn't want to leave you all without a chapter today, I'll do one last previewChapter VWhen I came to, someone was leaning over it. My vision was blurry, so I thought it was Marcel at first. He had been screaming bloody murder as the Dread Lord did... Whatever it was the Dread Lord was want to do. The Dread Lord assured us that he needed Marcel's life for his spell, but maybe he was wrong? The persona above me was running their hands across my chest as if they were searching for wounds to heal.As my vision came, it wasn't my father who was leaning over me, but a boy. At least I thought it was a boy, but the face staring down at me was covered in so much grime and dirt that it was hard to tell. Nearly impossible to tell.The face looked excited at first but then frowned. Then it looked angry. Whoever it was spit in my
Arc Chronicles Calixte XII
Calixte XIINo, they weren't complete traditional robes. They looked like a combination of traditional Oyashimese robes and a modern suit. It was a taste look and an interesting one. All the staff at the Oyashimese embassy in Aquroya wore modern suits and clothes, but this man was different. It wasn't a bad look honestly, but the people of Europe still tended to see Asians as backward. I know my brother Xavier did and he was the Viceroy of Vietnam. The Oyashimese seemed to want to escape that association and quickly modernized; that was to say, westernize themselves, in the same way, the Japanese did in my first world.This means clothes seemed to undermine that effort. I couldn't imagine the imperial Oyashimese authorities would let him wear something like that if he was an ambassador to a European country. He might not be an ambassador now, but his colony bordered three different colonial powers, Whoever he was, the man was obviously important, so I would assume he would uphold the
Arc Chronicles Calixte XIII
Calixte XIII"Forgive me if I presume too much, but you seem... Acquainted." They seemed more than merely acquainted, they seemed close. Very close. I hope I wasn't overstepping my boundaries and assuming. What was that saying again? Assuming makes an ass out of you and me?Thankfully my assumption paid off and I didn't come out looking like an ass. The governor smiled. "Not at all, Your Highness. I have known Princess Kaya since she was born.""May I inquire as to the nature of your relationship?" I asked in the politest way that I could."Governor Tanaka is my uncle," Kaya said. "He's my father's brother.""I was under the impression that Tanaka was a family name," I said.Governor Tanaka nodded. "It is. And a common one at that.""I... Don't understand," I admitted."I don't blame you. I'm not talking about at the court very often," the governor admitted. "You might say that I'm the emperor's dirty little secret. You see, I am no longer a member of the imperial family.""You're not
