Greed
==========
The sky rupture apart and a portal appeared , a human figure felt from high above the clouds , as the human was about to crash onto the ground , the wind blew fiercely and the body landed on softly on the ground.
~~~
In a far eastern field surrounded by rocky mountains , the humanity allies gathered their armies in strength and numbers to face off the invaders that reside on the other side of the mountains.
The humanity were many in numbers but the invaders , demons were not to be underestimated.
On the bottom edge of the rocky mountains , the humanity army set up their fortress there in a single night.
Most of the soldiers were drinking beer and eating while some were asleep.
The soldiers took turn to guard the border of their base.
In a golden tent situated in the middle of the fort , 6 people were standing infront of a big flat square table with land marks drawn on it.
CommanderWil-"We will lure them close to the mountain and as soon they get in range , the fighters along with the help of buffers will destroy the tip of the rocky mountain causing the rumble to fall onto the demons"
Captain Zon-"But sire! What if they can't break the rocks ? what if something bad happen after breaking the rocks?It is still a rocky mountain..forcing it to break could cause a chain reac-"
The commander quickly interrupted one of the captain
Wil-"It will work and kill off those demons! I did not hired the best fighters and buffers from Yonlia for nothing!"
Zon-"Hmmp I will take my leave , excuse me"
Captain Zon , angry , flapped his wind and abruptly left the tent with style while the others sat down quietly
Captain Zalyn-"My my , everyone is so serious"
Said Zalyn with a happy expression
The commander already had a plan in mind , the rocky mountain was one of them , he told them all what they had to do.
Wil plan was obvious to everyone that he did not want to loose many of his men.
Captain Zul-"Commander Wil , why is it that most of these mostly involve beast tribe and elves?"
Wil-"What do you mean? The fighters and buffers are human and will play the most important roll"
By breaking the side of the rocky mountain , Wil expected that no one would complain about it after seeing the results of what humans did to contribute to the war.

Greedy and disgusting
The captain nodded quietly and left the tent
Captain Taz-"Tssk , this times we have a sh*t commander"
Commander Wil was a coward , some of the captains were unhappy but they couldn't do anything about it because it was the king decision to place Wil , who volunteered to be in the front line.
Wil-"Tomorrow will be the day that I will be promoted into nobility!"
The next morning , the 6 captains each led an army of 22 000 , the army each had more beast tribe and elves than humans since commander Wil kept mostly all of them with him.
Since Wil is a human , he tried to gain more favor from his king since he really wanted to be promoted so he could retire and live happily after.
Wil-"My mens!we will be the core of this mission , we will protect and secure the escape path incase of a emergency! We will return home to our country , where are families and friends are waiting!"
The soldiers let out shouts of joy as Wil encourage them with his speech.
As the sun rise , the army were stationed to their spot as planned.
Captain Zul's troops were the ones who had to go around the rocky mountain to lure the demonic beast while Captain Taz waits on the peak of the rocky mountain with 10 fighters and 10 buffers.
Led-"Kehehe , getting paid to punch rocks , my kind of job"
Phei-"Led , take this seriously... if we fail , the plan will also fail.... and the demons will invade our lands.."
Fighters are mainly close combat types while buffers are wizard that specialize in empowering people by blessing them with their spells.
While the fighters and buffers were standing on the peak , Taz stationed his mens below the mountain since the peak doesn't have much space , Taz soldiers were guarding the pathway to the peak.
Roarrr!
Demonic beast shout were echoing through the rocky mountains
Taz-"Zul , angering the demonic beast , what a crazy bastard!"
Zul took some of his mens into the nest of the demons and quickly retreated with their fastest horse.
Zul and 2 of his mens were getting chased atleast hundreds of thousand demonic beast!
Zul-"If the rocky plan work , we might actually all get back home alive!"
Zul regrouped with the rest of his army who were shooting arrows from far away to keep the beast coming.

Zul-"Let's go! Times to get in the path!"
Zul and his 22 000 mens ran toward the path then suddenly the ground started to crack.
Spam
Zul-"Demonic burrowers!"
The demonic beast who came from the ground caught off some mens who were passing by the path , while some of them successfully made it through the pathway.
The sudden ambush caused the army to spread around , thus slowing them.
Zul-"Hold them off! Do not let them pass through the pathway!"
In the middle of the army , demonic burrowers kept appearing from the hole while the demonic army were just behind them.
Meanwhile on the peak of the mountain , Taz heard a fierce battle happening on the pathway
Taz-"Fighters , break off the mountain!"
The buffers chant their spells and swirls their mana around their target
Phei-"Strengthening iron fist!"
Led fist had a iron aura as his muscle harden , the fighters were ready and as they took their stance to hit the grounds infront of them , Taz and his fighters heard a weird sound coming from the sky.
Bzvzvzvz
Suddenly , multiple purple vortex appeared and crack the air open.
Purple looking bugs appeared from the cracks and flew down toward the rocky mountain
Taz-"This timing... it's too-!"
Booom!
The purple mantis sliced him in half and quickly disappeared in thin air , moving to his next target , one by one the mantis killed everyone it saw except for one on the peak.
Led-"Too....fast...uhgh"
Phei-"No.....Led...Maria...
everyone is dead...everyone...will die.."
Phei hid under a small cave on the peak as she tremble in the dark.
Soldier-"Commander Wil! The plan have failed , the peak soldiers and the pathway got ambushed!"
Wil-"What! where is Taz and the fighters?!"
Soldier-"A..about that... they all died.... we don't know what happened but commander Wil , there is no times! we must retreat"
As they spoke , the demonic beast from the nest that advanced through the pathway.
Wil plan was to kill most of them off with the rock while if the plan failed , the pathway would of blocked most of the beast , allowing the army to regroup , but now , since the 2 most important part of the plan failed , the demon army were allowed to slowly charge toward the allied fort.
Wil-"Fight! We will fight ! Recall all the troops to regroup to the fort and push back the demons!"
Soldier-"Yes sir! mens , spread the words!"
The messengers quickly left the tent with their horse , Wil who stationed himself in the escape route , wasn't worried about the demons.
Wil-"I have to do atleast that.. you demi humans and elves will sacrifice yourselves for my glory hauhahah"
The 5 captain retreated into the fort with 120 000 mens , they fought against the army
Wahh!
Help!!!
Kill!!!
Eat!!!
The demons killed many humans in a single swipe while some were holding their grounds against those demons , after a intense battle , the humans pushed the demonic army back but the demons did not gave up.
A demon whistle was heard , suddenly , big demon snakes and flying lizard that were twice as the size of a human appeared with some larger demonic creatures.
The tide quickly change with the help of the big demonic beast.
Ryu-"Arghh... my head.... why is it so noisy"
Pam , pam
Heavy foot steps were getting closer to Ryu
Ryu quickly stood up and stared at the demon with a happy expression
Ryu-"Wow , am I in a movie set? that's why everyone disappeared? hahahaha"
The bif fat demon infront of Ryu was an cyclop that wield a big wooden mace
The cyclop looked at the small Ryu and lifted his mace
Cyclop-"Eh , Puny human , die"
As it swing the mace to Ryu
Baammmmmmmmmm , Splashh
Ryu appeared on the cyclop wide shoulders with his chained dagger through it's neck
Ryu-"So rude"
The fat body slam the ground and Ryu quickly turned around and saw a big lizard flying away while carrying a woman
Ryu-"Ah...what is that..this movie is so realistic.."
Ryu took out one of the many black rectangle that looked like a usb driver from his leg pocket , pressed the small white button he thew it slightly into the air
Pooooof a white smoke appeared
A modified .50 M107 barrett with ultra high rings appeared in thin air as the smoke cleared away
Ryu with the sniper in his hands he quickly stop his breath and shot at the flying lizard
Booooooooooom!
A loud sound resonated the surrounding.
As Ryu shout , his body slightly slides backward.
Ryu-"Ah... one round gone just because I got curious..I wish they could invent something that turn water into bullets Pshhhhhh"
Ryu pressed the white button on the side and poof , the sniper turned into a small black rectangle and he stored it back in his leg pocket.
The lizard's head had a hole in it and quickly felt from the sky , releasing the woman.
Ryu-"Ah....who will catch her?"

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

Kings and queens limited the outcome of Chlorofluorocarbons. Winters were back at their best, and summers weren’t as burning-hot anymore.

Consequently, allowing the planet to produce more magic; giving people and animals more magic-flow that they could use and inherit. Unfortunately, this massive increase of magic produced by the planet also awakened a slumbered entity that was sealed off millions and millions of years ago by archangels.

Many humans and other mystical creatures have been suffering by the uprising of this terrorist group. A smart guy named, 'Rukito' is caught up in all of this; he gets targeted by one of the members to die, since his parents are one of the wealthiest people in Greenterra, and one of the few that know how to work and develop magic. While this is all happening, a new member is adopted into his family, a mysterious girl named 'Kasai' that is distant and reserved is now living with him in this colossal mansion, making matters even worse.
