《God's Eyes 》Chapter 512: Outbreak
Advertisement
It was weird to be in serious discussion with a young girl that was less than two years old.
However, now that Anna was able to talk with someone normally, she was unstoppable.
Holding herself back with Mike and his sister around during the last 8 months had been arduous, but Anna had tried to pay attention to the surrounding mana.
As she was very young, she was unable to sense it, thus was trying her best in order to perceive it as fast as possible.
This shouldn't have been a problem because her entire being knew how mana felt like owing to her past life's experience.
Nevertheless, Argos' mana was much scarcer and impure than Anna had been accustomed to. As such, it was not as easy as she had expected.
While the others had left with only Mike and his sister staying behind, Anna had demanded to talk with Jason alone.
Her voice had been cute and sluggish at that time, as if an ordinary young girl was talking, only for Jason to realise that she had been acting all this time.
Anna's voice was still cute, and she was able to talk freely without any issues. Her command over the universal language was perfect, and Jason couldn't help but feel dumbfounded by the information she provided.
There were so many things she talked about, and memorizing all of it was already proving to be extremely tedious.
Thus, Jason asked her to skip the cultivation stages and related information because it was simply not necessary for him to know more about it right now.
Instead, he told her to reveal things about other foreign races.
Several hours had passed and both Jason and Anna had switched between asking and answering questions.
From what Jason got to know, Anna had been more than a millennia-old. She didn't want to tell him her exact age, but it was not difficult to comprehend that she had not only been strong but also old!
The information both of them exchanged was vast, and extremely helpful for the future.
However, other than exchanging information, there was a lot they had to do right now.
There were other things to pay attention to after all. They had established a bond with each other, but they also knew that now was not the time to speak with each other about all kinds of topics because this would take several days, if not longer.

Anna's knowledge was just too vast, one that she had accumulated over centuries.
With that being said, Jason ruffled the little girl's hair before he lifted her one more time, and handed her to Mike's sister, who was still unsure of how to act in front of Jason.
"Please take good care of her. I will come back in the future, once I'm strong enough, or when society accepts me!"
The last few words he had said were to lighten the mood, which was not really helpful.
Nevertheless, Jason bid them goodbye after a short discussion with Mike.
He was still responsible for manufacturing bullets. At the same time, he distributed the translated versions of the foreign race's manuals to the big clans.
"You can start selling the copied versions of the neutral body refinement technique from the Doom Crawls for a low price!"
By low price, Jason was talking about a price that was low enough so that ordinary families could purchase them as long as they were willing to save up a little bit.
The main purpose for this was to distract the citizens from the uproar that was destined to happen because of the book he was about to release while mentioning his name inside the extremely cheap body refinement manual!
This would allow his reputation to increase, despite some people that may call him a monster.
While he was telling Mike this, he had already used the Star notes he had received in exchange for selling the beasts he had killed to print his book and sell it.
At the same time, he had used an AI to release his book on every online website on Skynet for free, while advertising it heavily.
It was impossible to not see his book because the exposure was so grand that it stirred up an uproar in a matter of hours.
Nobody had read through it, but the first two paragraphs of the book were already grand enough to let everyone experience shock, and goosebumps that appeared on their entire body.
[What would happen if a being neither belonging to the human, or any foreign race, were to tell you the truth about Argos' insignificance and secrets nobody dared to talk about?
Where are the foreign races coming from? What is their goal? What exactly are rifts, and how is it possible to prevent another war like the Great Argos war from happening EVER again?

Every question will be answered in this book...]
**
Since that day, a month had passed, and nobody had heard or seen Jason Stella, who had revealed the fact that he was a halfling to humanity.
Everyone had read the book he had written, but nobody could comprehend everything written within. Neither was the information they comprehended accepted by everyone easily nor did they want to believe it because what Jason had stated inside the book was simply too terrifying.
This caused them to shun Jason's book, whatever he had stated, and some even denied his existence.
Other than that, there were those who said that Jason was simply a transformed human, and not a halfling, who was trying to gain everyone's attention by instilling fear. Thus they called him names, with 'monster' being one of the less harsh ones.
However, there were also those that believed some words stated by him.
These people were those that had witnessed the Great Argos war, whether they had been supporters of the Argos alliance or the Drake alliance!
It was not difficult to perceive that Jason was special and anything but ordinary.
His combat prowess, his aura, the stigma, and most importantly, the appearance of the gates of hell, and a silver-colored divine aura during the last battle of the Great Argos war, spoke volumes about his persona and accomplishments.
Thus, they accepted Jason's words to some extent.
The big clans were a part of those people, and slowly everything began to make sense to them. Jason had been a cut above the rest since the beginning, and they had always been suspicious about him.
However, they hadn't expected him to be a halfling of a human and an unknown foreign race.
Nevertheless, instead of offending him in any way, they had decided to stay silent for the time being.
They wanted to receive the rest of the translated manuals after all!
Even if that was the case, some big clans had started to spread rumors through their subordinates, undermining Jason's sincerity to support mankind.
Almost every big clan was afraid of Jason, whether it was because of his cultivation talent, or combat prowess that was rapidly increasing.
Knowing that he was from a foreign race made them assume that Jason was no better than the other foreign races, who were just trying to annex Argos.
Yet, what they heard about the other continents on Argos, which Jason had also written about in his book, the big clans couldn't help but acknowledge that they had to be more careful.
If they were to conquer each others' lands for a century or longer only to gain more resources, the immigrated foreign races might as well start conquering Canir and the archipelago.
This was unlikely but still a possibility, the big clans had to include it into their calculations.
While everything had turned upside down from the moment Jason had released his book, a month had passed.
It was only then that the first news about his reappearance spread throughout the planet like wildfire.
He didn't know that his popularity had increased so much. Whether it was positive or negative, was not important, and everything that mattered to Jason was to become stronger, help mankind to survive on Argos before he could finally start his own journey without anyone holding him back!
It didn't influence Jason, but when he stood right in front of a world bridge that had just finished manifesting, he couldn't help but hope that nobody was recording him.
Otherwise, one might think that he had summoned the world bridge that was changing from its stable blue liquefied state into an unstable state as its color turned crimson!
This was a bad sign and Jason could only flap Artemis' wings several times in order to retreat, as multiple heads that belonged to one beast emerged from the world bridge.
After the first beast, hundreds followed suit, causing Jason's face to pale.
"F*ck!! Are those Chimeras??

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

I'm writing fiction. But I'm not a writer, I'm just a reader. :) P.s ------------------------------------------------- Story Progress: 1. Blurb is fulfilled on Chapter Three and Chapter Four 2. Story Arc One, The Savior is fulfilled on Story Arc Five 3. Yes, there is fighting scenes. Three Calamities have been Eliminated in Dandia -- The wide island. 4. The prologue is nearing to begin. 5. Too many conflicts. ------------------------------------------------- Past tense - When I just narrate a past without much actual actions. I mean like a news, or just telling or reporting the past. Present tense - Current event. And flashback with actions. I love flash fiction so world building is not on this story, like narrating a room, narrating a character's traits, etc. As possible, I want them to think, have their decision, etc. etc. etc. etc. Hallo guys, Help me locate my typos on Story Arc 5. I still don't want to edit Story Arc 1-4. I can't wait to reach story arc Chapter Six(I won't spoil). My outlines and very huge flowcharts are waiting. Sorry, about that, I can understand English without format so, each time I'm looking for typos I was hooked in my story and I didn't realize I forgot about them.

Life is Feudal
No OP stuff, status bars, levels or skills. This story is in favour of more realistic setting in a world of humans and various monsters. "Behind the mask of the assertive, resolute facade that employs ruthless routes at any given moment, lies the frail, anxious heart that were once but a puny human. Reviled and revered by many, none would ever know my true allegiance lies within myself, merely trying to survive this mess." Just the life of a grumpy man child living in a terrible piece of shit or a desolate state in which I call an alternate historical take on medieval Europe. Living as a peasant who is forced to take up arms to defend his own kin. This story grants an insightful take on the life of people living under constant danger, from vying nobles who commit atrocities in the name of justice, eager nations and barbarians aiming to take a piece of the bountiful land and mythical divine monsters who resembles a walking catastrophe in any possible way. [If you're easily offended by alternate-history religion and cultural practices, then you shouldn't read this.]
