《Modern Armaments in Isekai Fantasy》Chapter 2: Hello, Isekai!
Advertisement
In a forest clearing, a void teared through space and with it a man came out.
*Inhale* "Aaahhh, so this is the new world, the air smells cleaner than the city and it looks like I'm in a forest? Well, at least it's better than being summoned in a castle with entitled kings and nobles that expect you to wipe their assess and be a slave to them." said Arnold as he regained his clarity.
However, just as he was looking around, a sudden backlash hit him and he found himself in a kaleidoscopic world where he can't tell which is up and which is down. But after a moment, the weird event disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Arnold was dazed on what that thing was before he realized that he suddenly has information he didn't have before.
For example, the world he is in is called Akorra and it is about twice the size of Earth. There are 5 continents in this world which are:
(Easokune, located across a large ocean to the east. It is an island country consisting mostly of highlands where both human and demi-human species live together in harmony and mostly focus on agriculture. Due to this, their seafaring abilities are a grade higher compared to the other continents. It is the smallest continent of the five
Verglas, located directly at the northernmost part. It is a frozen wasteland with little inhabitants due to its inhospitable nature which consists mostly of monsters and fauna that are strong enough to survive and is the fourth largest continent.
East Sunix, located just below and west of Verglas. This continent is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, experiences four seasons, and is mostly inhabited by demi-humans like elves, dwarves, and beast people that looks like humans with animal features on them. It is the third largest continent.
West Sunix, sharing a border east of East Sunix. Although not as blessed with resources as its western counterpart, it still retains a huge amount of resources and is blessed with flatlands making it suitable for farming and sustaining a large population. It is strictly a human dominated continent that looks down on demi-humans and mostly instigates wars on its neighboring continent for spoils and resources. It is also the second largest continent.
Anihc, located at the middle, it enjoys its position as the main trading hub of all the continents. Due to its power over trades and goods it achieved its status as the strongest continent from its access to other technologies and knowledge from all of the continents combined. It is the largest continent of Akorra.)

After the brief geography lesson, Arnold suddenly came to and digested every other knowledge in this world. "Ah, my head is spinning. A little heads up would be nice before a trip to mushroom ville, anyway, now I have a general idea of this world let's see what my abilities are." As Arnold said this, he tried summoning a HK417 but no matter how long he waited it didn't appear.
"Huh? That's strange, I thought I put summoning armaments as one of my abilities. Hmm... if I remember it right from all the manga and fanfics I've read then saying 'Status' should give a game like option-" before Arnold can even finish his words, true to his knowledge a transparent system interface showed up infront of him.

The first thing Arnold clicked is the Summoned Armaments and what he saw made him aghast because of what it says:
[Summoned Armaments]
-The technology and equipment which can be summoned are strictly limited to what has been developed before and on 1945 Common Era (CE). This ability is restricted to the user’s current level, increasing levels will in turn raise the summon limit & lessen some restrictions. At this time, the number of soldiers and weapons are limited to a certain degree.
'Shit, is this the restriction it said before I confirmed? This puts a wedge in my plans, but I guess it's better than nothing.' thought Arnold as the thinks on the brighter side of things.
"Well, let's look at the other options while we're at it."
[Status]
Name: Arnold Richardson
Level: 0
Equipment: T-shirt (blue), Cargo shorts (brown), Socks (white), Crocs shoes (brown)
After reviewing the Summoned Armaments and Status tabs, Arnold decided to check the rest of his menu options.
[Summon Size Limit]
-Due to the restrictions given, the summon limit for summoned equipment and personnel are as follows.
INFANTRY:
Soldiers: 250 (One Company)
Artillery: 30
Vehicles: 30
AIR FORCE:

If Artillery, Vehicles, Aircraft, Naval Vessel, Facilities & Structures are summoned, the required amount of personnel operating them will be summoned alongside. Combat Service Support personnel (Combat Engineers, Maintenance/Mechanics, Communications Specialists, Supply & Food Specialists, Medical Soldiers, etc.) are not included towards the Infantry summon limit. 10 CSS personnel are assigned to each soldier. There are no restrictions in summoning small arms and heavy weapons that require 1-4 soldiers operate.

-[Settings for Military Summons (Soldiers)]
Summoned Soldiers’ characteristics and parameters can be modified in advance (Gender, Age, Personality, Weapons and Equipment).
If parameters are not set, gender, age, and personality of a summoned individual will be randomized, summoned weapons and equipment per individual will be at the summoners choosing.
Additional information, soldiers that are killed in action can be replaced but the same soldiers that are previously summoned can no longer be summoned.
-[Important Ability Notes]
It is possible to summon via thought or voice commands, without viewing the menu screen.
Ability to summon Personnel and Equipment can be regulated.
"...The restriction is really as horrible as it looks, while the size of forces I can summon is not to be scoffed at it's not a size I'm comfortable with, especially with the unknown dangers lurking around in this world that wasn't on Earth *sigh* Let's just summon some troops to help me, but first-" As Arnold said this, he summoned a uniform fit for a leader and some weapons for protection.
[Status]
Name: Arnold Richardson
Level: 0
Equipment:
-M43 Field Marshal Uniform
-M43 Field Marshal Visor Cap
-M43 Low Boots
-Rucksack
-Pistol Holster
Weapons:
-Sturmgewehr (x6 30-round magazine) (7.92x33mm)

'So, this is how a gun feels. Just the thought of holding one makes me smile.' Arnold thought as he smiled.
"Okay, so next are the soldiers, hmm I guess the main parameters I should set is that they have to be competent, loyal, have a sense of duty, honorable, courageous, knowledgeable, compassionate and respectful. It says I can choose gender and personality right? Then how about I make the Commander a woman, a beautiful one at that that is tender, absolutely loyal, and knowledgeable to all things related to maintaining a country for no reasons, ABSOLUTELY no reasons at all hehe. I also need to choose what equipment they'll need."
And with just a thought, Arnold summons 250 soldiers wearing Pea Dot camouflage standing straight, in perfect order and ready to go. A blonde woman wearing M43 uniform and cap filled with insignias on her shoulder is standing behind a group of men.
'Woah, they look badass.'
While Arnolds feels a wave of tension coming from the formation of soldiers, the woman commander steps forward, salutes to him and begins to give commands.
"Company, Attention! My Leader, 250 soldiers reporting for duty and are ready to obey your commands, sir!"
After saying that, all the other soldiers saluted to Arnold. Returning back to his senses, Arnold stepped forward and responds back, though still rather nervous.
"At ease. Thank you for that uh?"
As Arnold commanded, he asked who the female commander was.
"Reporting sir, Major Charlotte Williams, Company Commander. I will also serve as My Leader's second in command and military aide, sir!" the female commander responded.
"Alright, Major Williams, I look forward to working with you and your unit." Arnold said in a commanding voice that he suddenly had.
"Yes my Leader, please entrust everything to me and I will serve you with all that I have."
'Alright, a devoted beauty with the smarts. I feel so lucky with her by my side.' Arnold thought.
"Anyway, what's the male to female ratio of our unit, Major Williams?" Noticing some feminine faces, Arnold asks the composition of his troops.
"My Leader, 230 soldiers out of 250 are male and the rest including me are female."
"Mhm, good, good. For now, order your men to scout the perimeter and find a suitable place where I can summon a base. It will serve as our main operating base until further notice, is that clear?" Arnold commanded to his aide.
"Sir, yes sir!" Charlotte saluted before turning around to give commands.
"Alright men, you heard our Leader, split into teams and scout the perimeter to secure a base! Report back if you encounter some problems and make sure that no one dies! Am I clear!"
"""Ma'am! Yes Ma'am!"""
With that, Arnold with his little army set off to secure their would be base of operations.

The Morgulon
Greg never really wanted to become a werewolf hunter. He just wanted to prove to his father that he could do the job his family was famous for, maybe earn some money while he’s at it. He certainly never wanted to become a werewolf, or run away from home, or fight the inquisition. Unfortunately, as his brothers would say, fate has a shitty sense of humour. Updates on Mondays. "I feel like this story perfectly represents how you can't judge a book by its cover (or, in this case, concept). Edgy badboy werewolf teen romance? Yeet that concept out the window and get ready for an action-packed fantasy with an incredibly built world and logical, realistic characters." "This is a great story, probably better than any werewolf novel I've read. It's certainly not a typical werewolf story (but don't let that stop you from reading it, the werewolves are still amazing.)" "A werewolf story where people aren't constantly meeting gruesome ends that still maintains a gritty atmosphere. Realistic worldbuilding and character design make this a must read!" - RR reviews The first chapter is also on DeviantArt, more may follow.

8 172Hymn of Ignis
If a man is told to walk from the moment of his awakening to the world, what will he do? He will walk. What if along his path he stumbles and falls? He will get up, and walk. What if along his path others bar the way? He will push through, and walk. What if along his path a storm hinders his passage? He will overcome it, and walk. What if along his path the sky changes color and light no longer guides the way? He will remain on his path, and walk. What if along his path the very ground gives way to oblivion? He will press on, and walk. What if along his path he becomes more than a man? Will he stop? Release schedule will be either weekly, or biweekly, depending on the time I have available. Hopefully that will change for the better along the way. As for the story itself, opinions matter a lot! I appreciate both soft, and hard criticism, so don't hold your punches.
8 239A Long Refrain
September, in the Continuate: For most students living in the Third Division, the month's arrival usually means the start of a new school year. But not so for one particular freshman, whose first month at college seems to never end—literally. Set during the 20th year of the nation's Rectification Era, A Long Refrain follows Melody Quick’s attempts to escape from the month-long time loop she's found herself trapped in. Her journey, which starts in the capital city of Somnhaven, will take her across the vast expanse of land once known as Circadia, whose forgotten histories, ancient secrets and eccentric inhabitants could hold the key to discovering the true nature of the loop and the role she herself plays within it. However, the more she learns, the more cruel truths she must face: Will she really be able to handle the awful reality behind the loop, and all that it entails? And will those very same answers she's found be enough to not only break her free from the loop, but to also protect the people she holds dear? (A-and from what, exactly ...?)
8 88His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
