Leaving the British airport, my next objective was to reach the embassy and collect my weapons and armor. I had figured that this new mission won't be as pleasant as my former one. And thus I requested for new weapons to be forged specifically for this mission.Alorea may be a country ruled by a Queen, but it didn't make sense if their soldiers could not handle the kind of threat they called me in for. I may be wielding a system but it didn't mean I was an immortal.As I stood by the road side taking in the scenery, I figured it's time I flagged down a cab. “Where to Sir?” The cab driver, an old man with thinning hair asked as I sat down.“The embassy if you please.” I said and turned my attention to the scenery of Alorea.“Will do Sir.” He said and ignited the engine.The cab driver kept glancing at me through the mirror.“You here on vacation?” He asked.“Just here on business.” I replied nonchalantly.“Whatcha a young kid like you searching for on the streets of Alorea?, what sorta
“TEN HUT!” The deep husky voice boomed around the field. The field could be said to be a perfect artistic masterpiece if it wasn't situated inside a military camp.Rows of military men stood erect next to each other as they awaited the orders of their superior. Soon a muscular man donned in exquisite military uniform with three stars stripes on his shoulder walked out.“Shit! It's Major Cutthroat!”“Are we being assigned to Major Cutthroat!?”“Our days in the military is over! Mama I'm dying soon!”Murmurs arose amongst the ranks of the soldiers. Major Cutthroat was known for his brutality in the army and he personally disposed of any soldier who disobeys his order during any operation; No Court-martial, just a bullet in the head, or a slit across your throat.“Hush! Or I will be sending you girls to meet your creator!” His voice boomed again. This time there was absolute silence.“You girls are being assigned to me! And believe me when I say that I do not.. condone any weakling in my

Maximus laid on his King-size bed as the event of the day flashed through his mind. After getting a new quest from the system, he had asked the system the amount of system coins needed to upgrade it to 2.0, the system's response was a bit disheartening. Ten thousand system coins was needed to upgrade it to 2.0 and Maximus had only 2,500 system coins.Sigh! If only there was a mission that will yield a bountiful amount of system coins, he will grab onto it without a second thought.Ring! The telephone beside the bed rang, who could it be at this hour of night, Maximus groaned, got up and took the phone.“Hello?” Maximus spoke into the mouthpiece.“Hello Mister Gold, sorry to disturb your sleep but I have urgent news which I thought you will want to hear.” Esther's voice sounded from the receiver.“What news? What happened?” this time Maximus sprang up from the bed, the thought of his company being robbed or his employees being harassed came into his mind.“The young master of the Nguyen
“..Wh..what..what is this?” I could feel pain raking my body as he coughed again. The explosion decimated everything within 30ft around him. The mortar artillery he had been setting up had already blown to bits, why wasn't he dead then? And what was that voice he heard in his head? He thought he was in the afterlife so why was he back here?. I raised my hand and I felt it was strange.“I should be dead..blown to pieces..why I'm I still whole?” the flesh showed signs of peeling and nothing else, but instead of blood, he saw red lights around his palm reattaching the flesh and healing his palm. *«The Military System has been activated»“Who said that?” Bryan became fearful. But the voice kept mute, he thought more and realize he didn't hear this voice with his ears, rather it was as if it communicated via telepathy.«Host's body condition and physique is unsuitable for the system, bypassing host's authorization, reconstruction of body initialized»Just as the vo
Click!Bryan walked into the Major General's office and saluted.“Sir! You sent for me Sir!”Major General Bourne seemed to be in his late-forties, with a bald hair and a Caesar's moustache. The man gestured to the chair in front of him for Bryan to sit.“I was told by Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat of your achievement. I must say I am impressed.” the man spoke with a smile on his face. His voice was a bit identical to that of Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat, except for the ferocity part.“Thank you Sir, I was merely doing my duty.” Bryan replied with a humble expression on his face.“Oh no son, what you did is what no one else was willing to do. You chose to face more than two hundred Taliban soldiers alone, just so you could make sure your teammates survived. Now that's commendable, but what got my attention is this report here made by your commanding officer.” he said while tapping on the file on his desk.“You took out a kill count of more than a hundred Taliban soldiers alone.
The soldiers formed a wide circle so as to create a stage of some sort. Bryan walked to the middle of the makeshift stage and waited for his opponent while he scanned the faces of the Delta Squad.“Private Grayson! You have been selected by your superior to duel the members of the Delta Squad! Failure to win in the duel will earn you a court-martial for insubordination! If you are not confident in fighting, I suggest you get your sorry ass out from there now! Do you wish to proceed!?” Lieutenant Colonel Durke said with contempt and authority. In his mind, he could already see Bryan cowering away from the fighting stage. Unfortunately Bryan was not only confident he will win, but also he didn't just plan on fighting one at a time.Bryan glance at Lieutenant Colonel Durke and smiled“Affirmative!” Bryan said, then he turned to Major Cutthroat and saluted.“Private Grayson reporting for duty! Sir! I pledge to uphold not only the honor of the United States of America, but also crush the en
Bryan came over to Major Cutthroat's office. The Major General had received an order from the Secretary of Defense to send someone capable to guard his daughter while he goes on a campaign trip with the US president. He instantly thought of the new rising star; Private Grayson. After briefing Major Cutthroat of this vital matter, it was now up to Major Cutthroat to brief Bryan of the upcoming mission and how important it was.“Sir! You sent for me Sir!” Bryan saluted as soon as he stepped into the office.“Have a seat Private.” Major Cutthroat said in a gentle tone.“Thank you Sir.” Bryan responded in a respectful way and sat down.“Private Grayson. I will get straight to the point. We have just received a mission from the Secretary of Defense himself! He requested that we send someone to guard his daughter; Maryanne. Are you up for the job!?”“Affirmative! Sir!”When Bryan heard the word 'Mission' from his commanding officer, he started to shift gears into his mission mode.“Good!
