《Age of Enlightenment: Deception of Misdirection》Chapter 4: Tricia ( In the smoke of things )
Advertisement
Chaos everywhere; Bystanders running searching for a place to hide, Militia guards continuing to fight the fine clothed men with Local guards aiding them, and the streets now embedded in the chaos that was happening. Tricia as with her companions who helped prepare the bonfire festival now everything went to chaos as soon the attack began. They ran as everywhere there was gunshots and fights of militia and unknown attackers with their blood staining the streets, civilians running away from the smoke of chaos spreading everywhere as the more militia stepped in making a hail of gunshots then charging at them with cutlasses at their hands and a flintlock with another.
I didn't even know what happened or how it did happened, The Bonfire festival was going as well as planned. Then the attack began one person suddenly pulled out a flintlock then shoot it then everything became a miss
The streets now became gulped in chaos as the militia continued their fight against the unknown force attacking the town region. It all became a blur as Tricia and her companions ran from alleyway to alleyway avoiding the fighting that raged on the streets, the militia guards formed a line with muskets pointing dead straight forward with civilians running behind them with the unknown enemy at their rear, They quickly ran behind the militia guards with Tricia and her companions having a sigh of relief. Then the unknown attackers appeared, the militia officer shouted and a hail of bullets came after with two of the attackers down while the others took cover and began to form their own firing lind.
Loud noises were heard from the distance: The sound of gunshots, men shouting to charge at the enemy, and civilians shouting for help. Everywhere around them was chaos. One of the militia men signaling to the civilians to follow the direction was suddenly attacked by one of the attackers by a shot from a flintlock shot to the chest then another shot to the head with the screams of civilians followed by the murder.

Tricia continued to run with her companions still near, The alleyways were safe but still there were chances as they escaped from the chaos from the streets they found the attackers fighting the militia guards with gun shots and clashing of steel swords with dead bodies lay at the floor, Still they press on their escape from the dangers of either getting shot or stabbed. They manage follow with the crowd as they ran to the general of the next town region, Safety it must a barracks or a post secured by the militia guards.
The militia guards continued to defend the civilians escaping to the supposed safe zone as they continue to hail gunshots and meet them with screams of horror heard as it began. Tricia and her companions kept on running in the direction of the supposed safe zone.
They followed the crowd of people to their unknown destination. People every where rushing about with constant pushes to others just to get ahead from getting shot or stabbed at, It's live or die. Stationed Militia Guards were increasing as they went along the crowds as the now further in the distance appeared a tall wooden building and wooden gates began to open letting in the crowds of people, The fort, finally solitude and safety.
They entered the fort as now the courtyard in the fort was now occupied with the crowds of people, At least it's better than getting shot or stabbed. Militia men posted now on the walls of fort pointing their muskets on the streets, officers shouting at the guards with them following orders as they rush to follow. Packed crowded into tight space, with chaos everywhere. I wonder what happened to the others, are they safe surely they must have escape when the shots were fired.
Tricia and her companions had been stuck at the fort with the large crowd of people, "How long you think the militia will take care of the attackers" said one of her companions

"Don't know, just hope that the militia would begin to think of a plan" Tricia replied. They've stayed there for hours on end. Tricia was quietly standing with her companions and their conversation on the matter of the attack. She continued to observe the militia guards to see if they'd had any plan on doing something but they were just running around and keeping watch on the defense and a guard would come and tell about the condition outside.
She thought of her family and friends thinking on what their condition is in the midst of this night, are they safe or they caught in the chaos?, haven't seen Thomas and the others are they in a different place?, what could I do? with that matter in mind she kept observing on the movement of the militia guards seeing if they would somewhat form a plan that would ease her worries. she continued to do this to see if should somehow put pieces of information if the militia would somewhat act and do something else than defend in the chaos.
She then began to recall the chaos of the matter outside on the screams and horror filled faces and worries of the civilians seeing their fear and confusion, even now in the safety of the fort people around her still had the face of fear and confusion as friends tried to calm friends, mothers calming their children, and people cried out to find their missing companions, Why did this happen.
A shout was heard from one of the officers as the gates opened with militia men going into the streets in groups, Please, please that this chaotic night will end. The night continues on with still fighting in the streets, more and more guards were sent out and returning with either civilians, injured men or dead. It'll over soon, soon.
I'm sorry for the large font size. I didn't know what happened but I couldn't fix it maybe in due time but for now this will be the size for chapter 4, I'm sorry I'll make sure this doesn't happen again.

Re: Pessimist
Ewan is a young man who is killed... in a forest fire. However, a stroke of luck was before him, as a magical Goddess declared that she wanted to apologise for starting the fire by the use of her own powers. So, she offered him the choice to reincarnate. Yet, what left her in shock was the fact that Ewan said one thing: "Oh, no thanks, I'm pretty happy with being dead." ~~~ I must point out, there will be some 18+ stuff going on in this! So, if you don't like swearing, intercourse or anything related to such nature... Well, this book isn't for you. :$~~~ Okay, after seeing my most recent poll XD... if you also have issues which the concept of incest, please stay away! ~~~ I'll mostly use this book to try and improve my writing(albeit weirdly) and try and experiment with a few ideas and plot points. If chapter releases seem to be far apart that either means I'm busy with something or I'm trying to work on a chapter without the points seeming too rubbish.

Getting reborn as an Orc
MC gets reborn as an orc. He is going to grow in strength, going to gather his followers build up his clan then crash, slaughter, and humiliate the humans, elves, dwarves, and such. This is a kingdom building story with litrpg elements. Litrpg works well when we talk about single character focused story. But in my story MC eventually going to lead his troops against other people. So I invented something called the tier system. It is similar to the grading system other game light story's use but with much more clear and understandable rules, also uses a very simplified stats system. When you hear someone's tier you could easily understand what to expect. MC is a crafty guy, he usually uses tricks and shady tactics instead of brute force to achieve his goals. He gets ailed with unsavory humans to reaching his aims. So MC going to have a lot of dealings with society's criminal underbelly. I warn you, my English is miserably bad. If you seeking a kingdom building story with a crafty villainous lead who outsmarts his enemies you are in the right place. If you seek something written by someone competent in English please pass this story and please just don't write a review.
