《The Alternative Diaries of Raymond's Raven》Second Dance of the Captain (Sleipnir)

"R-Ray-Ray! S-stop this thing! I-I'm going to hurl!"
"You've been assigned as my partner in the air regiment, and you still can't get used to flying? The h*ll is wrong with you magicians!"
It was the skies. The battles in the First Great War was waging heavily across all fronts. The land, the sea, and notably the air. Right now, the collection of French and British Air Forces were flying in formation to launch a counter offensive against a formation of German planes.
On the Allied Power side, there were the British Sopwith Camels, the Triplane variants, and the French Nieuport 23 light fighters, and the SPAD S.13 Heavy fighters. On the Central Powers side, were a large variations of Fokker B.33 Multirole Fighters, and a heavy assortment of Hansen-Brandenburg G-1 bombers. The numbers were 1:3, but hopefully with the right Aces in place the odds will be leveled significantly. Namely a certain Canadian Pilot who was known to be the Aces among Aces.
"Ray-Ray! Ray-Ray! M-my magic is dependent on the orientation of the ground to the sky! I have to be aware of where the Cardinal directions are while I focus my spell to deflect enemy arcane attacks! I-I can already see two Kraut Magician readying their shot a-and my head still can differentiate from down to up!"
"You have to make do, Sleipnir. I'm rather busy in taking on six of these German pilots who already have a beat on me. Magic or not, I'll take care of them and you handle the rest. You focus on taking out that German magician or whatever you call them!"
"R-rest assured, my job is to protect the air fleet from enemy magic attacks. J-just whatever you do, d-don't make the plane do that thing that forces the world go 180 or--UNYAAAAAAAAH! I-I SAID DON'T DO THAT!"

"A Barrel Roll is a necessary defensive technique! Now hang on!"
A certain all black Sopwith Triplane marked 'Black Maria' screamed through the sky. A swarm of German planes and bombers split through the Allied Columns. Two seconds in, more than a dozen black smoke were seen plummeting down to the ground.
"You said they have magicians? Where are they located, I'll give you a clean shot before they take out our ground forces. Ready, Sleipnir?"
"Huuuurk! Huuuuuurkkk! Uuuuuuuurk!"
"...OH COME ON!"
Just when the triple wing Sopwith Camel had a clear run at one particular bomb with two occupants (one of them with a peculiar witch hat), the Canadian Pilot had to bank to the side to avoid a head on collision. As much as he missed his chance to shoot the plane at the core engine, there was a compensation of dropping human vomit onto the pilot's face. It ended up spiralling out of control (more common than being shot down), and ruptured into a black flower of smoke.
"...Well, guess you can't win them all with bullets."
"THE H*LL! huuurk. I-I TOLD YOU DON'T DO THAT SPINNING THING! uuurk! N-NOW LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EMBERASSING MY--Gkh---Bleeeeeeeeegh."
"...Magicians are so bothersome."
Indeed.
"RAYMOND COLLISHAW, A-APOLO--Guuuuurrrllllllllll..."
"...What the h*ll did you eat? Spider legs and lizard tail?"
French Calamari and Brie actually.

Return of the Woodcutter
Aito Walker was a self-proclaimed martial artist, a criminal, a broken man, and a fishing slave who later became a woodcutter before dying due to his heavy consumption of alcohol.With thousands of other humans, he is forcefully revived into a boundless grey space by the gods of a foreign world, Iris, to take part in a never-ending war waged against Fearmongers. A race capable of corrupting living beings and inducing fear, even the bravest of warriors cannot resist—when the Fearmongers do not kill them, that is.To bait humans into this conflict, the gods offer the mortals powers in exchange of eternal servitude and the completion of trials before finally entering Iris.Even though Aito doesn’t agree with it, he sees in Iris a chance to atone for his past misdeeds, in this fantasy world of swords and magic filled with many races, where everything seems possible.He will pave his own path despite the gods he despises trying to manipulate him into doing their bidding.Aito will start with almost nothing but his wit, a peculiar system, and increased strength—much like other revived humans.Bearing a sin—he could not, cannot, and will not forget—haunting him to this day, Aito will strive to regain what little honor he has left.He will suffer and, at times, fail. Taking advantage of his weaknesses, the Fearmongers, demigods, gods, and many others will hinder his path.But a powerful yearning will keep him from falling apart. An ever-burning flame melting away the despair and welding back the broken pieces of courage.A single desire.«I will find redemption no matter the cost.»………Or not, hun, who knows? The book isn’t done yet. Haha—SLAP!«Who put this guy in the synopsis narration?! Get him out of here and launch the warnings! Now!»***WARNINGS:— The MC is human. If you’re looking for a perfect MC, you’ll only be wasting your time here. However, if you’re looking for an MC who will LEARN, GROW because of his flaws. An MC who will try his hardest to overcome adversity, then you’re in the right place.— No harems. However, it doesn’t mean the characters can’t fool around without having love interests. A relationship isn’t necessary for people to satisfy their physical desires.— You will find a few typos, grammatical and wording issues, that’s certain. I’ll do my best to bring you guys quality content and such issues will either be nonexistent or extremely few. However, one man can only do so much. If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho.— The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.— The book can, never mind, it will contain «strong» language, gore and violence.— Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.— If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.
