《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 42: Preparation
Advertisement
"We have confirmed! Raizel has succesfully taken down the Dragon Dimension! He is now going to attack us, The Angel Dimension, shortly! We must prepare, Sir!" said the guard. I was with RagNar-Ok, and he was in human form, thankfully, as when he heard his home was destroyed, and his son killed, he smashed the round table, breaking it in half. "Calm down, you will have your revenge, don't worry about that, RagNar-Ok." and he couldn't control himself. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT GABRIEL! If you didn't ask me to attend this, along with Trine, we wouldn't be in this problem. AND WHAT ABOUT TRINE? WHY DID SHE BETRAY US? SIDING WITH THAT.... WITH THAT.... THING!" he just continued breathing heavily, anger coursing through his veins.
Since my wife had fought Raizel before, she knew how powerful he was. "Gabriel~San , he is indeed powerful, but he didn't even use half of his power for me. If it was an one on one, he would probably be the strongest in the 5 dimensions discovered. We should be wary of him, even though, on average, we are strongest, that would be meaningless in a long term battle. If the fight exceeds 3 days, we can consider it as a loss, no matter what, because of their immortality. Although we know how to counter it, not everyone does, so, Gabriel~San, what is your plan?" and I thought deeply.
"Yoshi! This is what we shall do, when they arrive, there head count will be around 20 to 30,000 men, along with there generals, Jennifer, Trinity, and Michael. Michael is not much of a problem, but if he is angered, it will be. Trinity is a trickster, so we can counter her with someone like you, Trine. The only problem is Jennifer, The Berserker. We may need to call reinforcements, especially of Hazen, the New Lord. What we will do, since it will take around 1 day, without interruption , for them to reach here, we will send parties of 10 - 10 people each to increase traffic, which will slow it down, giving us about 1 week if we expend 1,000 people. With this, we will train the rest of our combined armies, which would be 80,000 , the way of killing a Reaper. It doesn't matter if only a few learn it, but we would need atleast 10,000 who would know how to kill them. This probably, however, is an expected strategy, and knowing Trinity's skill in deciphering, she will probably come to know about our plan when she notices people increasing traffic. Thus, in around 2 or 3 days, we will have to switch our planning. Any objections?" and RNo (RagNar-Ok) was the first to object.

"My army is already extremely small! Let us take a leave in this fight, so we can repopulate our dimension, we have been trimmed, and no one is in position to take my throne. I would like to formally request if I can leave to go back to my dimension and fix the damn chaos he created. Other than that, it seems like a good plan, but one major flaw, the Trinity prediction. Trinity is a very skilled tactician, and in my opinion, she is probably thinking that we are having this meeting right now, and as so, she would probably know about our idea to decieve us, and decieve us while we are decieving her which means that we are being decieved by decieving her which in turn makes our decieving useless, so we are simply doing nothing more than helping her in decieving us." and Trine objected to that.
"First off, stop saying 'decieve' , I'm getting confused. And, I met up with Raizel previously , without Trinity and Michael, so that means that most likely the Dragon war was there first fight, and now they will know more about the concept of war and all that stuff, so, most likely , she will decieve us by trying to decieve us by making us think that when we are trying to decieve her, we are being decieved. Anyhows, Gabriel, any other plan to counter this?" and I was stumped.
"I don't know, for now, let us just continue with our plan. RagNar-Ok, you can leave, I can tell that the current situation is pretty heavy for you. Anyways, this meeting is..... adjourned!" and they all seperated after that. I decided to start teaching the people, where Trine would be sending out people 10 at a time, and RagNar-Ok prepared to leave, since he was dragon, he didn't need to travel via the networks. I then gathered all the Angels , men and women, to gather at the central square of Heaven.
"We are about to fight the reapers! Now, you may think that they are invincible, but after testing it on a hybrid, who willingly agreed, we have found out the weakness of the reapers! Heed my words, my friends, my comrades, as you only have this one shot! The reapers have the ability to repair any wounds, even in the state of unconsciousness, which is how they are seemingly 'invincible,' but this has a major flaw, the brain. The brain is what is controlling the reparing, as the reaper's have a very delicate brain, which has a special cortex which allows this unconscious activity. Now, knowing this, there are two ways to permenently kill a reaper, in a sense. The first would be cutting off there head. This is, so that the head falls off, and the brain can no longer repair there cells. Thus, they would rot, but by rotting, the rotted cells will form new cells, re-creating the head, but since the memory of the brain is lost, they would lose there memory, and personality, so it's like them being reborn as a baby. The second method is delicately cutting off this cortex, which would make them like normal people, being able to die. The second is a more safe method, but a very delicate process, so I suggest you all go for their heads, but since they have a master tactician, if you see any armor on the necks, just try to cut it off somehow, other than that, there is nothing more to tell you guys. We have around 3 to 6 days to train, so I have prepared dummies for you all, all of them controlled by a very vast AI system, which learns from its mistakes, now, ARE YOU READY?" and they all cheered.

I could tell most of them didn't understand, but they were all on guard, and wanted to do this as much as any of us wanted to. I then , under the central square, where the momument was, created a gateway downwards, and from there created a large platform, filled with the dummies. They were all empty, so , with the help of Trine, I managed to put all the 'Tem Brai V2' into them, my second brain recreation, which was around 80% complete, it just had a problem storing emotion , feelings, and all that sort of unnecessary data. It exhausted my Mei supply, but I was able to create them, and each person had a cubic meter of space to fight them. Most of the people fell down, but since they were using wooden sticks, they didn't die. A Few managed to chop off its wooden head, but when I replaced there head with a metal head, they too, fell. I realized 'Tem Brai V2' may as well be too good for them.
In the end, after 5 days, only 2,000 people managed to 'kill' both dummies without falling, 4,000 (excluded first 2,000 [same for rest] ) failed twice, and 7,000 managed to kill the wooden dummy, but not the metal, and the rest failed. I realized they wouldn't help, so I used them as the shields, sadly. We were ready for the fight, but I still wasn't sure of the win . We could see them. They were about 5 kilometers off, so the traffic idea didn't work just as well as we thought. We were prepared, however, so I called out our army and intiated the fight.

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.

Shadow Emperor

Watch as he climbs higher and higher in a world far different than the one he knew and develop strength enough to stand at the top. ** Warning this story has a very slow boil as the MC begins to grow in power from scratch. Starts picking up around chapter 25. As story progresses themes of slavery, human experimentation, and some sexual content will be added. ** This is a story inspired by novels like Warlock of a Magus World and Age of Adept. I will be taking some ideas from each but trying to make my own story using the world ideas i love from these novels. I am also a first time writer mainly doing this while trapped inside due to the events going on in the world. So feedback is appreciated.
