《A marvel rise》Chapter 11

The long trek back gave me and Steve some time to discuss, about how to handel the general.
"I call bull on just surrendering like that." James Howlett said, he angrily kick a stone away.
"You can't blame then they did defy orders, just to be clear. I'm grateful they did I'm just saying command migth not see it that way." Jim Morita said he quickly added not wanting to bring the hate from everyone else around.
"I don't think that it will come to that, the general is more likely to be grateful then angry." James Montgomery Falsworth said.
"Look I appreciate the support, but the fact of the matter is that me and Alex, went against a direct order from a superior officer. And that is a court martial offence especially since I'm how did you put it. Steve said as he turn to Alex.
"Gorvement experimental superior soldier project. Relax about it, I'm sure you'll be fine. It me that got to worrie, technically I was s'oppose to stop you. But they never told me in my orders what consisted of looking after you, so it still kind of in the grey area here." Alex said in a happy chipper mood, having had the time of his life during the whole gun fight. He also was happy cause he had looked througth the document and he found a few very good idea. He would also have some good chips in his hands when it will come to bargain with his boss.
"Still can't believe that your a spook. No other would jump in like that they tend to stay back in back ground." Gabe Jones said the tall man he was still a little surprise to come out of that madness whole and alive.

"Je trouve que nous avont sacre une peur bleu a ces lache." Jaques Dernier said.
"What was that?" James Barnes Bucky said.
"Nothing new still cursing hydra." Alex said.
"Hey I can very well understand spy." Dernier said, with a grin.
" Et moi aussi je te comprent." Alex said
"Je trouve le fait que nous trois parlont le Francais surprenent." Jones said.
"Guys, lets get back on finding a solution to the problem here." Bucky said annoyed at the shenanigans of the three." Bucky said in exasperation.
"Nothing to talk about Il take full responsibility of the whole mission." Steve said in a candid tone full of courage and conviction.
After that no one was able to suggest a different or better answer to Steve and my circumstance. Instead whe shared story not just are little group but then men around us also shared. It was obvious that the more Steve talk to everyone, the more a quiet acknowledgement was going around all the men about supporting Steve. It became evident to everyone with the exception of Steve. In a way it was fascinating how one man could draw in so many by simply being himself with no hidden agenda.
By the time we saw the base I could tell that if thing went to hell in camp, these soldiers wouldn't let it go without a fight. To have a possible mutiny for a man they have only met a few hours ago in a way it was very impressive.
As a group everyone march silently in camp their was no disorder running around, but a calm an united sense as we all came to a stop infront of the general.
"Some of these men need medical attention." Steve said in a neutral tone.

Medic ran to the troops as soon as the surprise of the event pass, men were finally getting the care they needed, but most still refuse to leave until the conclusion of Steve faith was evident. The soldiers around where confuse at the closes nit group, some even spotted a few soldier holding their weapons close almost like they where ready to point them around.
Steve looked around making sure the medic started on the ones who needed it most. He turn back to the general took a deep breath. "I'm here to surrender myself to disciplinary action sir."
The mood subtly shifted, Steve stood strait looking foward without wavering. The general notice the troops mood shift he was surprise. This he had never would have believe possible, it was clear that Steve wasn't aware of it yet, but he had alot of expirience leading men in battle. He didn't miss the hidden threat stating if he goes, we all GO! In that moment he had a flash seeing it later in battle these men would follow this man to hell and back with their heads up in pride. He wasn't a idiot he understood right now a literal gem was infront of him, he consider Washington an how to spin it, he figures if he sold them the dream they would go for it right now many would jump on such a fat piece of meat.
"That won't be necessary." A small proud smile on his lip, he turn to Peggy. " Faith hum." The general left, happy to go back an cancel many bad news letter to families.
"Your late." Peggy said as she stood in front of Steve.
A cocky grin on Steve face came out as he pulled the transponder. "I couldn't call my ride." A busted mess came up in his hand.
"Hey let hear it for captaine America." Bucky said.
All the soldier gave out a loud cheer some finally relenting to medical attention.
"Now I hope I got enought to stick around." Alex looked down to the pounch holding the document, if not he would be force to finally use up the last letter. Losing that card now would be very bad he would be without any counter to his enemies.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
