《Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness》Chapter 25: Getting The Small Space Fleet Ready For Battle

Just as he finished, some of those droids came. James didn't take much time to unseal them, but when he finished he found only 50 droids standing around him. He looked in question towards Rigo who said briefly:
"They will be enough. c'mon, move all the weapons to the warehouse and start installing them."
In front of James, 50 droids worked in harmony to move the huge pile of weapons on the ground onto multiple floating metal plates that they took out. It was the first time for James, whose entire life was fixed on moving things in the base, to see such a thing.
"These are the movable plates, do you think we kept ourselves here doing nothing? We searched for new tech and managed to make great breakthroughs as things that don't even exist yet in the universe.
Our only problem was the weapon research, as we had no ability or resources to do so," Rigo volunteered to explain about the presence of such strange things for James.
"These movable plates are fantastic," James commented when he saw how these thin looking metal plates could withhold the weight of all these weapons.
"They are sturdy, and can take more weight. It's made of Rigolenium metal."
James looked at Rigo with impressed looks as he said:
"Never heard of it."
"It's a local metal that's only found here on the planet. I believe the previous supreme leader knew about the rarity and quality of this metal, so he sent us here to wait for you."
The words of Rigo captured James attention, as any information about the previous supreme leader was a hot topic for him, so he asked:
"Had the previous supreme leader mentioned this metal?"
"No, we just found it while we were discovering this planet. Even here, it was scarcely found, so we only managed to acquire small quantities of it. this metal has unique characteristics that made us call it: The magical metal."

"Why is that?" James asked.
"Because it can transmit, store, and even generate energy on its own. It can be shaped as very thin structures and could still keep its integrity and features.
If we can find more mines, we could have used it to form advanced weapon systems of our own, but we searched every place on this planet all these years and only found less than a ton of it."
"Only a ton?" James exclaimed with surprise as he added, "A ton isn't enough to even arm a single small cruiser."
"That's right, so we decided to store most of it and used only a tiny amount to build flexible devices that you are seeing right now."
"Flexible devices? What do you mean by that?" James asked while pointing towards these thin things. Rigo replied vaguely:
"You will see for yourself later at battle, and you will get really impressed, I can promise you that."
James kept his silence while watching these droids acting efficiently as they didn't take long to pack all the weapons over these strange metals. They moved without stopping to disappear in the dark path of this ship.
"Now they will install the weapons on the ships, what should we do next?"
"Have you gotten all the data?"
Rigo took out a small object that looked like a small stick as he said:
"This holds all the data here, we only need to plug it into your cruiser and the system there will upload them. The size of this data is huge, I doubt your small cruiser system will be enough."
James smiled as he received this stick as he said:
"Let's go to my ship. Tell the others to be ready to fly out once they finished installing the weapons. Bring 20 droids that can use the fighting simulator well."
James then moved towards the exit, while Rigo followed him while asking:

"What is this fighting simulator?"
James sighed, it seemed these droids were really outdated with everything regarding weapon systems, so he explained:
"It's the tools to control and direct the canons."
"Ah, I understand. In my days they were called the gun controllers," Rigo said.
"Well, time changes, hurry and tell them," James said.
"I already did," Rigo said.
"Oh, this fast?" James said.
"We have created an inner closed circuit for our communication," Rigo explained.
"That seems nice, does this circuit have a range limit?"
"No, it can work even between galaxies."
James looked in doubt towards Rigo then he decided not to ask about details, as he had a hunch he wouldn't understand a word out of it.
"Can you install this communication circuit in my ship?"
"You mean that little cruiser? I don't know from where you have this confidence in it. If it was an intermediate cruiser, then I might believe you, but this?
C'mon, this is just a tiny ship that could be blasted by the engine waves of the large cruisers," Rigo said while pointing out towards the distance where the small cruiser laid silently. James laughed as he replied:
"Don't underestimate her, this baby can really give you some surprises."
"I will see," Rigo said laughing with him. The two marched towards the small cruiser at the same time a group of 20 droids of different races appeared way behind them from the shadows of the destroyed warship.
James entered the cruiser first after waiting for those 20 droids to come here. Each droid was distinctive from the race it was from by two long shiny lines extending from the top of their heads, passing through their arms and legs.
Each race had a different color code that held a meaning, but James didn't know what these meanings were, and he didn't care to ask. Once everyone followed him inside, he turned to look at them at the wide hall as he said:
"Distribute yourselves in the cruiser, and get familiar with the canons here and engines. This cruiser had many canons, which are controlled by my cruiser system. I will release the system control over these canons, so feel free to test them here, Rigo you come with me."
Everyone looked at each other while their minds were thinking the same idea, this was their first time to hear about a small cruiser system that could control the canons.
Rigo just gave them a silent meaningful glance before following James towards the commanding deck, where it was surprised to see Eli, and James was right next to her. He was checking her vitals and made sure she was still alive.
"Is she with you, supreme leader?"
"Yes," James replied briefly while he moved towards the front commanding unit. He sat on his seat while taking out the data storage stick while saying:
"How can I plug this stick to the system?"
Rigo understood James' confusion, as the tech of their old times was already forgotten. It then moved to help James linking this stick to the main system, which acknowledged the data in a short time and uploaded it with unparalleled speed.
"What is wrong with this system? Is this a small cruiser system?"
James enjoyed the shock lock over Rigo's face while saying with pride:
"Are you convinced now? Sit and let's run the diagnostic check before we set off."
"Affirmative."
Rigo then sat on the second chair beside James as he started to act as a co-pilot to him. James first lifted the system control over the weapon systems then he started to run a diagnostic test over the whole ship.
As he waited for the test to finish, his eyes were focused over the sleeping Eli, he now knew what happened to her. He sighed as he muttered very softly:
"Don't worry, Eli dawn, I will save you for sure."

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
