2024-01-16 21:33:37“I already told you that you do not need to talk back to the reporters, I will deal with them, you don't have to worry.” The President said.
“That's exactly why I did that. It's best you don't get involved with media matters, sir. They’ll paint you in a bad picture.” Gabriel replied.
“I know, let's not talk about that stuff anymore. I want to thank you again for reclaiming Florida for us. Tell me what you want, and if I can do that, I will give you what you desire.”
Gabriel sat silent, “I was about to tell you this President, but this is the perfect time for me to request this, I would like for you to approve my retirement.”
The President looked shocked, he wasn't expecting this request, “I uhm, is there a reason why you would want a retirement?”
“The pay is good sir, I'm treated very well among the military, but I am tired. For the past decade, I have fought very hard, I haven't gotten proper sleep or rest, and I would like to retire.”
The President sighed, “Sigh, Gabriel, you know, you signed a contract, we have spent 8 billion dollars on you, the serum, the medical personnel, the trainers, the contract says that you are no longer just a citizen of this country, you are an asset.”
Nodding, Gabriel replied, “And that is why I am asking you, sir. The President has the right to change the terms of the contract.”
“I can't do that Gabriel. This country needs you.” He stood up before pointing at the poster where Gabriel was posing, “This country needs someone that they can look up to you. Can you imagine how they will react when their best chance at a peaceful future decides to hang up his cape? The best I can do is increase your salary by 1 million LibertyLion Dollars(New Currency that was made for the alliance of Singapore & United States).”
Gabriel, visibly disappointed, “Thank you… What should I do next?”
“California, that’s what’s next. And then we can go beat the enemy. And after we regain peace, I promise, there will be peace for you as well.”
Standing up, Gabriel nodded before walking towards the door.
“Oh, before you go, the engineers told me to give you this, it's a gift from them. They know how much you like your message log watch, so they are giving you this upgrade.” He said before handing Jones the new watch. “And make sure to visit the General, he will give you the details of your mission.”
Not giving much thought to the watch, he kept it in his suit before walking out of the Oval Office and out of the White House.
As he walked towards his car, he could see the driver outside calling someone using his phone, “To General Jackson’s house.”
The driver nodded, “I will call you back honey.” the driver said before ending the call and opening the door for Gabriel.
Gabriel’s mood had been pretty bad lately, the fights that he had lately flew by him, and he couldn't even remember the details of what he did lately. It was like his body was now using muscle memory alone to operate.
The only thing that stuck to him was when he talked with someone.
“Sir, we are here.”
“Huh?” Gabriel snapped out of it. He got out of the car and looked around. ‘It is the General’s house…’ He thought.
It was a two-hour drive from the White House to the General’s house. This meant for two hours, Gabriel had been day-dreaming, without him even knowing. “ I have to find a way to fix this.” He massaged his head while walking towards the entrance.
As he knocked on the door, he realized that the house was more silent than before. In the past, he could hear kids roaming the building and talking to each other, and the General’s wife cooking, but now it was nearly empty.
As he knocked on the door, only then he could hear footsteps running towards the door, opening it, “Hey. Come in.” The General said before welcoming him into his house.
“Where’s everyone?” He asked.
The General smiled. “This house is getting demolished in an hour or two, they are in the new house.”
Raising his eyebrow, he asked, “If this house is getting demolished, why are you still here?”
“I was looking for something, and don't worry, the demolition team knows that we are here.” He said before walking to the basement.
“The President told me that you would brief me on the mission, can you explain it in detail?”
“Of course! But before that, I want to ask if the President approved of your retirement.”
Gabriel shook his head, “No…”
The General shook his head, “What a shame…” he said.
As they reached the basement he could see that Henry Walker, the United States Vice-President was there waiting, “Mr. Vice President, I wasn't expecting to meet you here.”
Henry Walker shook Gabriel Jones’s hand, “I was just talking to the General.”
Gabriel then turned to the General, “When should I go reclaim California?” He asked, tiredly.
The General turned to look at the Vice President, “Vice President? Would you like to tell him?”
“Sure.” The Vice President placed his shoulder over Gabriel’s before pointing at California on a map stuck to the basement wall. “Gabriel, you won't be taking California.”
Gabriel turned to Henry, his eyebrow raised again, “What are you talking about sir.”
“I'm saying that it is impossible for you to take over California.”
“I don't understand…” Gabriel replied.
“Let me be more clear, the communist, have made California their base, it's a perfect American base, they have all the resources they want, and because it is a strategic place, they have sent more men to keep it safe, the Nuclear silos there makes it more worth keeping for them, do you now understand, you won't be able to take it from them.”
“They won't be able to use the Nuclear silos, they don't know where they are at, we have kept it hidden very well.”
The Vice President nodded, “It is hidden very well, but the information has been leaked, they know where the Nuclear silos are…”

Gabriel’s eyes widened, “Then this is an emergency, I have to tell the President that the information has been leaked. If what you said was right, then it means that I have to take California back, today.” He said before he turned back. “You don't have to find the person that leaked the information, I gave it to them. Well, I am about to give it to them.” He said, raising a USB flash drive.Jones turned back as he saw the USB flash drive, it was not a copy, it was the original that the President kept, and only the President knew the password. He shook his head, “You scumbag, you can't access it, only the President knows the password to decrypt it.” “You’re wrong, the Russian has a supercomputer, you see, and with it, in a few months, this flash drive will be decrypted.” “Why? Why side with them? Why side with the enemy.” Jones tightened his fist. “For true peace, Agent Jones, for true peace. They will win, and when they do, America will be truly free. I'm doing this for America.”

Jones, instead of trying to stand up, let his body weight and physics take their course, letting his body fall onto Ruiwei's legs. Ruiwei prepared to deliver a barrage of punches toward Gabriel’s head, however, Jones used his hand and pulled the popliteal fossa, causing the enemy to tumble to the ground, and allowed him to stand up.But as he did, Ruilong and Ruixin delivered a punch to him at the same time, one punch to his face and another to his stomach. He was pushed back considerably by this attack but maintained his balance. Ruilong swiftly swooped his legs, causing him to fall on his back, and before he could do anything, Ruixin jumped and with the heels of the shoe, stomped onto Gabriel’s stomach. He grunted before holding onto the heels of Ruixin, pushing it so he could get up and throwing Ruixin towards Ruilong, but this time, Ruilong was able to catch his comrade.This wide gap of time allowed Ruiwei to get on his feet, although looked hurt, he was ready to fight.

His suit, although didn't look like armor, was one nevertheless. It was made with kevlar clothing and titanium plating, and although it wouldn't protect him from higher caliber bullets, it would do fine against the lighter ones. Phoo! The door broke open, with the pieces of the drawer and table flying everywhere. “Come out, don't waste our time. We don't want this to go on as much as you.” Xiong Lei said in Mandarin as they looked around before they were met with a barrage of bullets to their helmets. None of them pierced through or were able to hurt them. But the sound and the vibrations that were caused by it were enough to cause confusion. “We gave you a chance!” Nikolai shouted, before taking out a grenade launcher. However, before he could fire a grenade out of the equipment, Xiong Lei stopped him. “What!?”“You don't want to destroy the information.” He said before they felt something pushed them and ran past them. “It's Gabriel, he ran out!” Nikolai rushed out of the baseme

Sergei Nikolai rushed him with a punch, but now, with the armor, Gabriel held onto the fist easily, before punching him back. Xiong Lei then blasted him with a barrage of grenade attacks before coming in and trying to attack him with a kick, but the only damage that was done was a scratch on the armor. Before Gabriel could deliver a punch back, Xiong Lei jumped back. “You can keep the USB! You think we would risk this much for some Nukes, we have many too!” He laughed. Gabriel tried guessing, “You’re trying to reclaim Florida?!” Xiong Lei shook his head before pointing up. The colonel shouted as he tried running towards him, “Move out of the way!!!” But as Gabriel looked up, he could see light from the sky as a blue beam forcibly pushed him to the ground. . ‘Gravity field. Shoot!’ He thought as he struggled to get up from the floor. “Why would we try to steal anything from this country, when you are here to ruin anything anyways? Might as well get rid of the problem.” Gabriel

He took off his formal suit and started putting on his military camo attire, it was much more comfortable and cleaner than the suit that he had now.“I can't just leave this here.” He whispered to himself as he stared at the armor which he left on the ground. No one would ignore a shiny piece of heavy armor here. And if left there, it would definitely go missing. He looked around and found a rotten log with the middle of it empty, so he broke it in half and started using it as a shovel, digging the ground till the sky darkened, leaving his armor and most of his heavy weaponry in the ground before covering it with dirt. Seeing that the sky was dark he took out a lighter and started a fire near the fireplace that he just constructed. #Meanwhile, at the village near South Dundee, many of the armed men were out guarding on top of the walls of the village, keeping out for the creatures that loomed in the forest nearby. Inside of the village square, the other half of the armed men sta

His heart rate spiked up, causing him to look around, this was what he normally does when he needs problems fixed, it helped him a lot in the past and enabled him to think of a solution.But the weapon that the enemy had used against him was like nothing that he had ever seen before. “They were able to teleport me and everything under the beam…” He whispered, trying to remember any memory that might give him a clue of who created this weapon and how he could reverse the effects and go back. “Do they even know that I am still alive?” But as he tried thinking of a solution, his stomach growled, disturbing his concentration. Despite eating the biscuit that has fulfilled his nutritional needs, it has failed to fill his hunger, which caused him to look around.His eyes stopped as he looked at the bear, he didn't even have to think about it, his instinct took out his knife and started cutting open the bear, removing the meat from the skin before placing it above the fire for it to cook.

“I don’t know about you, but it has been a long day for me, so I will go to sleep first. We will talk tomorrow.” He said before handing Gabriel a soft cloth for him to sleep on. Gabriel just realized this, but the fight that took place in the General’s mansion had his body aching a lot. As he looked at the soft white cloth, his eyes started blinking slowly. He dropped the cloth on the floor, before taking out his suit and using it as a pillow. Although it was not soft as one, as he placed his head on it, he immediately fell asleep. # Gabriel continued eating his military ration biscuits and drinking his clean bottled water as the monk started cooking up stew in one of the rooms in the temple. “Want some?” The monk asked as he mixed in some vegetables into the stew.Seeing that the water that the monk used for the stew was not filtered properly, he declined, “I’ll pass.” “Your loss.” the monk shrugged before pouring himself some to eat, “So which country are you from anyways?”
Earth's Greatest Soldier Transports to Fantasy World Chapter 7: Bear Cave
“Move!” Norvin screamed, knowing that the bear was more than capable of crushing him. But Gabriel, confident in his strength, kept his knife in his scabbard, and stopped the attack with his two hands, clasping the bear's paws. For a second, he matched the strength of the grizzly bear, but let go of one of his hands to draw the knife out of the sheath before stabbing the bear in the throat, pulling it out, and manoeuvering to the back of the bear, stabbing the skull of the bear, crushing its brain in the process. Gabriel’s face was splattered with blood, but none of it was his; the other eight bears looked his way before running out of the wall. The village was safe again. The guards could hardly believe their eyes; a man with just a knife killed two bears while matching it in strength. Norvin turn to look at the other guards, “That's the man that killed the red bear.” “That explains it…” One of the guards huffed before dropping down to the ground to rest. The other villager

The clouds started covering the light shining from the sun, and the village darkened. Bjorl looked up and shook his head, “I can't help with you that.” He said before walking towards the store. Gabriel was taken aback by this, “Hold on, this is a blacksmith, anyone would expect you to be able to craft a bow.” “As I said, if you want that, you came to the wrong place, you can get help with the spears and swords, but not that.” He kept walking towards the store. Gabriel held onto the Blacksmith’s shoulder before pointing at the store’s logo, which included a bow, “Next time, dont put anything you won't be able to craft on your store’s insignia.” The Blacksmith, stared at the insignia while his lips quivered. He didn't reply to the village’s new defender and entered his store. “Can you believe this guy?” Gabriel turned to Moel and the Captain. “Tell me there is another blacksmith here?” The Captain looked equally as confused, “No there isn't.” “Thats great…” He replied sarca

“Aren’t spears better than the sword in this situation?” The Captain questioned. “I did. But it doesn’t mean that there is no space for a swordsman, especially someone as skilled as you. While everybody does the spearing you will be doing the slashing, putting extra damage on those bears as fast as you can. And when you need to, hide behind those who have spears to regain your energy.” The Captain nodded, “I see wisdom in that… Well, will you start training the guards?” Gabriel shook his head as he pointed at the other guards, “They will be training, as for you and me, we will be looking for some archers. Do you know any?” “I do, most of them are dead from the recent fight against that red bear. They were very skilled.” Talnuc commented. “I know how to use the weapon, but I am not skilled in any way.” “That’s good enough, I have an idea. We have the villagers who will not be doing anything. They can stay at a safe distance and shoot arrows towards the creature while we do the

“Well, they might be a bit rusted sure. But in this case, and against the enemy that we are about to face, these weapons will suit all of you better.” Gabriel replied. “You know that’s bull-” “It's not if I can prove it to you,” Gabriel interjected sternly and turned toward the small crowd of guards. “I need one man to pick up this weapon for demonstration.” “I’ll do it,” Norvin said, still confused about how a bunch of rusty old spears would be able to help him in this situation. He held his breath as he lifted the weapon, expecting it to be heavy, but the weapon came off the ground easily. “It's lighter than I expected.” He whispered. It was lighter than the longsword that he was used to but not by much The Captain got closer to Gabriel, his head shaking, “I don’t know what you're trying to do, but unless you prove to these men, that spears are capable of killing those red bears. They won't follow your orders.” Gabriel smiled, “Don’t worry, they’ll trust me.” He said before

“Sutherland!” Talnuc, the Captain of the Village Guards approached Sutherland, whose face had been dirty by the hours-long work of rebuilding the torn-down village wall alongside the other villagers. “Tomorrow…” Sutherland shook his head, wiping his face as he walked towards his house, “I’m tired, can’t you see?” “No, you have to do something about this, you can't imagine what the Chief did!” Talnuc stopped the Advisor. “Tomorrow,” Sutherland repeated. However there was nothing Sutherland could do when the Captain used his hands to stop him, Sutherland was just an advisor after all. “The Chief has declared a state of emergency!”Sutherland rolled his eyes, “Captain, look around you, does it not look like a state of emergency to you?”“Well let me finish, he declared the Guardian’s decree and gave the power of guardian to the new visitor.” Sutherland was immediately awake after hearing this, “Are you sure?”“I got the news from the Chief himself, I am not going to leave the fat

“Shagrat na lugburz!” The skinny creature commanded the newly grown red bears. The bears struggled to move around, only a few seconds ago they were newborn cubs, but now they were forced to grow up, and since they hadn't learned to walk, the balance of their body was weak. However, the almost humanoid short red bear raised his hand, his gesture almost looked like a puppeteer trying to control its puppets. And as soon as it did that, the emotion that was present in the cub's eyes were all gone and they started moving towards Gabriel with their mouth ready to chew on him. Gabriel raised both his hands to defend against them, but as one of the bears swung his hand at him, he could feel that the bears had nothing but bones. And the bones weren't hard at all. They were as soft as babies. “Guess we all make mistakes, huh,” Gabriel said before ripping the bear in half, almost like paper. The body was stretched too thin. And its weight was just slightly above the weight of a cub. The oth

Knock! Knock! Knock! “Who’s that!?” The village chief shouted. “It's me, Chief. You called?” Moel explained. The village chief quickly opened the door to his office. The eye bags under his eyes were deep, as the monk took a peek into the office, he could see that the village chief had been spending time working. “Come in!” he escorted the monk to sit. “Anything from the Empire or the Kingdom?” Moel asked, wondering if the Empire or the Kingdom had received their message of plea. They have been waiting for a response for a very long time, but to no avail. “Nothing, just as usual.” The Chief replied in disgust as he continued cutting open the letters. “They will only respond if we have anything that can help them. The only ‘help’ we are getting is some good wishes from the cities.” “Typical… Typical…” Moel shook his head before his eyes were caught on one of the letters on the Chief’s table. “What’s this?” The monk pointed at the letter. “That’s the letter from the Village of

Just beside the Village Temple of Rha, was a small house, its size more closely resembles a hut, ordained with religious symbols around it, similar to the ones at the temple. Moel opened the door and entered while Gabriel followed closely behind. “Mom?”Moel called out as he entered the house, searching in the living room. But he froze as he saw chunks of cut-up meat covered in large leaves on the ground. “What…” Gabriel recognized it, “It's the red bear meat, seems your mother made things more easier for me…” Moel sighed before walking towards his mother’s room, and as he opened it, he could see his mother holding the skin of the bear, now made into a garment. “Mom! Thats not mine…” He covered his face before facing Gabriel, “I’m sorry, I didn't know my mother would do this, I hope you weren't planning on using the bear’s skin.” “It's fine. I only brought it with me for the meat.” He said before turning to the pile of cut bear meat. The monk wiped off his forehead sweat before
