《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Everyone was taken aback. Those were truly bold words. After all, a few of the leaders were even in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. How does she expect to beat all of them with her Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm cultivation?
However, Via soon noticed the loophole behind those words.
"Wait... You said you would prove that you are a better commander, so a direct battle is useless. How do you expect to do it, then?"
Calina smiled before responding.
"The idea was for me to command a unit against a unit controlled by you all. However, you all have your own way of leading your teams. If I really asked you guys for something like that, I would have the advantage since there would be no divergence of opinions and orders."
"That being said, we have two options. First, you can all select a leader who will represent your units and control a team against me. However, can all of you decide on who you'll put your trust in?"
Immediately, everyone went silent. Not a single one of them would select someone else. They all wanted to be the representative of the Units. Obviously, there would never be a decision in the end.
"This won't work. What's the second option?"
Calina shrugged her shoulders.
"The game that almost any cultivator who likes to command knows about, Sisca. With that, you can all discuss your commands and reach a decision together on how to move. As you all know, Sisca is a good way to test someone's ability to command. How about that? All your heads together against mine."
Roan had to admit that he liked this game called Sisca quite a lot. That being said, he also brought a Sisca Board with him inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Every now and then, he would use Sisca to measure Calina's current progress other than just real battles. Even the map they used to check the terrain was used with Sisca game pieces.

The longer you spent on the planning table, the higher your chances of success. Roan truly believed in this saying. Other than Calina, he played several times against Rean too. Last but not least, he forced Malaka to learn how to play it. The girl didn't like to think that much, but she had to since the punishment for poor display wasn't anything funny. To a certain extent, Malaka had a good understanding of tactics now.
Unfortunately, it was just that Roan was way too good at this kind of thing. And so, he always crushed Calina, Rean, and Malaka.
At the moment, this was the only way Calina thought where she could defeat all the leaders of the other Units together in a small amount of time.
"Sisca? You want to bet the command of the elite Units in a game? That's ridiculous."
"That might sound idiotic. However, that would indeed prove her ability if she wins. Besides, suppose we don't accept anything. In that case, she can simply tell the Main Commander, Senior Kassie, that we are not following her orders."
"He's right. In any case, do you think she can win against all of us together? I don't know about you guys, but I've played Sisca with my grandfather hundreds of times. That's why I like being in command. If you want, I can play with her on your behalfs."
"Hmph! Do you think you're the only one good at this game? Forget it, I'll play with her. I doubt she would be better than me."
"Enough! There is no need for us to select a representative. We can all play together since we can take our time to discuss the best moves. As long as we don't need to follow her orders tomorrow, I don't mind what method we use."

In the end, they all nodded. Calina was right. Most of the cultivators who like to lead were also players of Sisca. Only one of the Elite Units had a leader that hasn't played the game before. The rest thought that they were very good at it.
Finally, they all reached the same agreement and accepted Calina's offer.
"Very well, but on one condition. Neither side can receive external help. Let's use a Spiritual Sense Alerting formation. That way, no one can send hidden strategies to others."
There were Anti-Spiritual Sense formations out there. However, those were harder to build and more expensive. However, if it was just a simple alert formation, then it was more simple. Even Rean could build one in just a few minutes. Of course, if the Spiritual Sense Level was too high, a simple formation wouldn't work. Fortunately, the highest cultivation in the middle of the elite teams was only the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.
Rean and a few more cultivators of the other teams quickly built a Spiritual Sense Alert formation. Sure enough, in the middle of over three thousand cultivators, there was bound to be a few who had Formation Master as a side occupation. With them working together, building the formation was faster, with higher quality, and prevented someone from playing some tricks.
"Wait! Does anyone have a Sisca Board?"
Suddenly, a white-haired young man appeared with the big board above his head. Naturally, it was Rean. The moment Calina brought her idea up, he retreated to somewhere hidden and took the board out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. He then placed it close by before he helped in building the Spiritual Sense Alerting Formation.
'Where the hell did this guy keep this board?'
Rean smiled but didn't say anything. He simply placed the board in the middle of the formation.
"Alright. Here are the board and the pieces."
Calina smiled and couldn't help but send him a Spiritual Sense message.
'So, you don't think this is a bad idea?'
Rean shook his head.
'Nope. It's just as you said, we couldn't have all of them become commanders at the same time to fight you. Sisca is indeed a quick way to prove your side without them complaining.'
Calina then looked away before asking.
'Do you think Roan would approve this idea?'
Rean laughed after hearing that.
'Probably.'
Far away in the sky, Roan glanced at Calina's group. A faint smile appeared on his lips for a second before it disappeared.

At her side, cloaked in shadows, is her Dementher familiar, Asmodeus, who is equally committed to seeing the Warlock grow to reach her full potential. But dealing with her overly hungry companion while keeping her secret, illegal visits to Highguard’s city dungeon hidden is the least of Fallon’s problems. As a Praeditus, she is expected to serve alongside her father and the rest of Highguard’s Praefecti to resolve the growing problem of refugees fleeing an adversary even the strongest Sentinel dare not face alone. The Gates which strike Orinthian with ever-growing frequency and pour upon these war-hardened cities merciless invading hordes of monsters from other dimensions who seek to pillage, burn, and slaughter everything that stands in their way. Please Note this is my first attempt at a litRPG. I also ask that you keep an open mind as I will be diverging, in my own way, from many of the litRPG stories I have read. For those of you who missed it, this is a Multiple Lead Characters story, hence the tag. I should also mention that this will get crunchy as far as numbers go and please pay attention to the Profanity tag.

QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
