Chapter 15: Titans
--------------------------------
Next Morning...
At the lecturer room.
Vincent looked intently at the middle-aged lecturer. Like any of the other lectures, Vincent would listen seriously. And the topic today is about his enemy, the enemy of mankind the Titans.
"Today we're talking about Titans, and all we knew about them"
"The Titans are mysterious..."
The middle-aged lecturer said that as he opened a book, and continued...
"Even the remnants of our historical literature offer no hints about the origins of the Titans."
"We know next to nothing about them."
"What little we know about their bodies, we learned from the Recon Corps' most recent reports."
"Titans show no signs of human-like intellect, and therefore there are no known instances of successful communication with them."
"Their body structure is fundamentally different from that of all other creatures."
"They have no sexual organs, and their method of reproduction is unknown."
"Most of them have a Physique resembling human males."
"Their bodies exhibit extremely high temperature."
"To our confusion and dismay, they show no interest in any creatures except humans."
"They are seemingly driven exclusively by the desire to consume humans, yet from the fact they survived in an environment devoid of humans for over the century, we can safely conjecture that they have no need to eat."
"Thus, their likely purpose is not predation, but annihilation."
"The main factor behind the human race being driven into such a corner is the Titans' astounding ability to survive."
"Since long ago, mankind has fought using the technology of cannons, but even such firepower couldn't stop the Titans.".
"Even If a Titan's head gets blown off, it will regenerate in one or two minutes, though individual differences do exist."

As the lecturer said that, all the faces of the Trainees were frightened...
"What!"
"As if their size wasn't enough to handle...
…
Vincent then thought as he heard everything the lecturer said.
'If that was true, then Humanity is really f*ck up...'
'But, like any other third rate stories, what the lecturer said is full of loopholes or in other words, story plot holes...'
'There's many uncertainties and many questionable details and information as what the lecturer had said No, it was the history itself'.
'History in the modern world, even 1000 years has passed, traces and remains are still circulating in the world...'
'In this world, where only centuries have passed. The history is already lost and nowhere to be found'.
'From how, humanity was driven inside the walls, to how the walls are created'
'Base of technology advances in this world, or even hundred years ago. It would be impossible to create such a tall, thick, and massive walls that circle the entire kingdom'
'And even if they can, they will manually do it, and it would take a hundred thousands or even millions of people working together from building the walls and it would take about 500 years to build such a wall'.
'And in this 500 years of creation, the people will always be constant danger of exposing by the Titans due to them creating such a big commotion, making the time of creation longer'
'And if they miraculously finish building the wall. Their technology will advance fast, but looking at the situation of this world Humans never questioned everything that happened 100 years ago and they miraculously just began living inside the walls.'
'As if they forgot everything...'
...
"Instructor, are the Titans invulnerable?"
"They are not."
The middle-aged Instructor answered and then began drawing a human back. He then looked towards the Trainees and said,

"There is one way to defeat a Titan."
As he said that, the instructor then circled the back of the next and said.
"Target them here."
"If significant damage is inflicted to this area, the Titans will die without regenerating."
"To cut through their flesh, we use double blades like these."
And then pointed towards the table, where two blades are on top of it.
"If the attack reaches their weak point, the Titan won't have time to regenerate, and die soon."

At Dawn...
In the Dining Hall...
Vincent was eating in the back with his 3 roommates like always.
"Vincent, if we master the 3D Maneuver Gear can we really defeat Titans?"
"It depends, even if you master the ODM gear, but you're afraid to fight, it didn't matter even you master it or not"
"In the end, it comes down to whether you can face death or not, and run away from it..."
"Titans like the Instructor had said, do not have human intellect and how random they think and do, it will be always facing death if you decide to fight and kill them."
"That's... sound right"
"Well... it's the truth"
"Human fear death as they feared Titans"
Connie then scratches his head and says,
"Then... Vincent, can you defeat a Titan?"
Vincent looked at Marco deeply and said,
"It depends on their sizes. Right now, on how I can maneuver the ODM gear and use it. 3 meter Titans will be the best I can face. Not kill but face, as the outcome will be unpredictable"
"Then, even if you can't totally know the outcome, we on the weaker side can only be food. I know I want to join the Military, but Titans is still the enemy of mankind and I want to know my chances of survival in facing them"
Marco, looked down and said.
"Don't worry, there's still 2 years left of training."
"Maybe, if you can survive in the end, you can defeat Titans. Whether it is 3 meter or 4 meters It is still a Titan at the end of the day."
The three looked at each other and nodded, then looked at Vincent and said.
"Then Vincent, can you teach us how to use the ODM gear"
Vincent stopped eating and looked at the three in front of him and said.
"Jean, aren't you good at it? Like you brag in front of everybody, in the Dining Hall."
"Well, I'm good at using ODM gear, but compared to you, I'm no match"
"Then... sure"

Of course, those are just stories of an age long past. The spirits are peaceful now, right? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] ~~~~~~~~~~ My entry for the Writathon, my inspiration was a random idea I had last week and decided to write about. Digimon, but in 10,000BCE. Updates at least twice a week. Cover art by Jack0fheart
8 199Storm of the Elementals
The apocalypse was something that people were expecting to happen sooner or later, rising sea levels and everything. What our protagonist didn't expect was it to be from a system, let alone the fact that he missed it. Waking up as an elemental and being given frighteningly little info from a system that seemed a little off , stuck with 3 other eccentric individuals that he could almost swear are a bit dodgy, and not being quite sure he was human anymore, it was the start of a long day. It only got longer when he found out he was moved to a whole different world. ~ This is a slow burn story, focusing on the world and what happens if an eccentric historian gets transported in a world with systems and power that are not quite meant for him. ~ Some things you can expect: -No harem, god no. -Yes the protagonist is strong, no he isn't completely OP. -Other people who have been changed, he isn't the only special or chosen one who got transported or messed with. -It is sad to actually have to put this here, but the main character does shockingly have common sense.
8 173Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
