*Flashback 400 years ago in the other world/approximately 3.4 hours in the real world*
No One's POV
As John looked at the terrain with his army, he didn't know where or when will the war ends. Many fell since the first battle, around 48,000 men were gathered and John ordered his second in command to gather the troops about 500,000 men near the town of Guttenberg. He has readied his daggers and saw his men were forming lines to ready themselves in their destiny, as John was walking down to the edge and saw Howard whose waiting for me with his 1,000 men. As John walked down the mountain edge he said " John, our reinforcement will arrive here about 2 days. The demons will attack here about an evening, we need to build trenches and traps to delay them long enough before the reinforcements get here". As we walked towards the tent house and discuss the strategy to delay the enemy, as we enter and saw multiple commanders and lieutenants were planning to defend. while they were discussing they saw John and Howard in front of them, they bow and sit down on the long wooden table with 10 chairs to discuss. As we discussed how we can defend before the reinforcements arrived, as we were discussing a scout came in and salute before he handed his report to John, after that, he take it, removing the string and read about the scout's report. When he was reading the report he look up and tell the information to his commanders in a grave tone " Gentlemen, they looked at John. And continued "The town of Lifeson, Xavier, Derby, Perryville, and Barbara was now fallen into the enemy's hand. The 21st JomsViking Unit led by Troels the Iron Fist engages the enemy in the southeast about 1.5 km away and the enemy was preparing to conquer the town of Isenbul ". The people heard the news were shocked and starting a debate on how they can support the 21st JomsViking.
JOMSVIKING: They are an elite group where they became a spearhead of the operation, they copied the same name yet they were different from the real world. They designed to be a machine to defeat the demons about 100 to 1,000 yet they were perfect soldiers than the real world of the Norse mythology soldiers needed to, however, due to their fighting skills they were skilled at the battle-ax and swords. In the meantime, they were strict with their codes until their deaths. The one code that stuck them the most was, 'When you are about to die you need to find your enemy to bring him with you into Helheim(The same realm where the real world Norse has)'. They're class about High S to low Y class, they were elite warriors destined to die with their enemies to their last breath, they were respected and fear among their allies and enemies, they can turn into a monster in any situation.

While they were debating John asked Howard about SVÆRDHELGENER units he answered in whispered tone" No, we cannot lose our special warriors and especially they are the key to have the power to stand against the guardians inside the castles and put the end of this conflict. John nodded and Howard continued " John you are different than them, you complete all forms and creating a new one into the heat of the battle, so now, please have some rest for the final battle". John nodded and saw his katana on his left waist. After that, a messenger revealed himself in the state of exhaustion and terror he reported in a shouting tone. "BAD NEWS THE 21ST JOMSVIKING WERE NOW ON THE BRINK OF EXTENSION THEY ARE BUYING TIME TO READY OUR TROOPS TO DEFEND AND ALSO I NOTIFY THE COMMANDERS AND THE HIGHER UPS TO READY OUR FORCE! AFTER THAT THE DEMON NUMBERED AROUND 500,000 TO 1,000,000 DRAUGR FORCE LED BY APOLLYON WHOSE NOW MARCHING TOWARDS OUR POSITION!!!!!" The people were shocked and especially John and Howard they heard a slam and they looked and saw John who slammed the table a moment ago then he shouted "PREPARE OUR FORCES, THE TIME HAS COME THEY MAKE SLAVE TO US ALL!! I HAVE BETTER IDEA! I SAY WE DRENCHED THEIR BLOOD WITH THEIR GODS! WHAT WILL YOU SAY IT IS TIME TO MEET OUR FATE SHALL WE?". The people were laughing and they take their weapons towards the frontlines, Howard and the supreme commander looked at John with their smile in their face and Howard said " It seems you've become a great leader. however, you will face a devastating defeat. What is your plan then?". As the atmosphere began to heavier and the wind blows rogue and the responsibilities weigh on his shoulders. After that, John looked up and stared in front of him as Howard and the Commander of the army stand in front of John while he was thinking about the plan, John widened his eyes and said: "I think I have an idea". Hearing this the three of them appeared a smile on their faces.
*Meanwhile*
As the men were in a position waiting for orders and defend any campsite they have to keep 'em at bay for the arrival of their reinforcements. As the 48,000 men were ready to fight Howard and the supreme commander used their tactics and also they placed the spearmen's on the front while the swordsmen were behind, the range units were positioned themselves on the front they were tasked to delay the enemy at all cost gaining some killing spree. As the draugrs were marching and stop to form the line then ready to attack, Howard used his binocular to see the enemy movements.
*Meanwhile*
As John and the second in command of the army along with their 500 best soldiers were running to the mountains, running into the unknown. But, they trust their leader on what will they do, little did they knew that John will obviously call for the help to the 'people he knew the most'.

*Meanwhile on the battlefield*
As Howard and his army were ready to defend their position, the spearmen were formed a phalanx formation( A shield wall where it used by an Ancient Greece in the city-state called Sparta were the Greek-Persian War begun in Thermopylae 480 B.C.E). The second line was preparing themselves in case of the first line was breached, Howard was calm because he knew that he and his pupil laid a trap before they will breach the shield wall. As the draugrs were running towards the defenders in hot pursuit, Apollyon was watching in the mountain that faces a camp between his army and human resistance. Little did he not know that a trap was ready for them, when the enemy forces reached about 15km the floor suddenly cracked and one by one the draugrs were falling about 10km inside. Away from the surface, they were pierced by long black spears that were ready to penetrate the draugrs to death. As the draugrs fall in a trap one by one, they die while penetrated the spears through every parts of the body. The head, arms, legs, neck, chest, even they split into two parts the lower and upper body while the spear penetrates in too much force, as Apollyon saw his forces were halted in advance he saw a fire through the enemy camped and he gasped because he knew that they were walked into a trap. As the draugrs were standing and their feet were soaked in oil but they didn't know that they are going to burn alive. Meanwhile at the camp, as the archers were ready to release the 1st volley, the draugrs were having a hard time getting out the trap but, it was too late. As the archer fired their arrows leading to the oil where the army of draugrs stands, as the arrows reached the oil and all of a sudden the fire burst in front of them then the draugrs were screamed in pain and die in an instant.
*Meanwhile on the mountain*
As Apollyon observed the battlefield he screamed and roared in anger" TELL THOSE FOOLS TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO ANNIHILATE THOSE PESTS!!!!" As the yellow flame Draugr heard the order he nodded screamed as loud as like lightning strike to heard a new order.
*Meanwhile at the battlefield*
When the screamed heard and the human defenders were covering their ears, Howard closed his eyes and said to the supreme commander " Sir Claudia, it is time to plug the holes in every men we have. Prepare yourself and also the lives of men, it is a great service to you just in case we die". The man named Claudia looked at Howard, he laughed and fist pump on Howard's shoulder and replied " Aye, it is a good service and also it is not our time yet". Howard nodded and unsheathed his blade on run towards the left side because of the Draugrs were trying to breach it. however, the right side the Draugrs were having a hard time to bypass the left side because of the volley of archers plus with sticky mud draining the enemy forces advancement.
After 5 hours of fighting the defenders were having a hard time to plug the holes in the right side while Howard was busying to muster his force to keep the enemy at bay, while the right side was now safe and the Draugrs was decided to run to the right side and also the front was still struggling to make a bridge between them and their enemy. Meanwhile, at the mountains, Apollyon huffed in annoyance and decided to call a reinforcement, he looked at the red flaming Draugr and ordered" call a reinforcement about 5,000 Draugrs immediately". As the red flaming Draugr nodded and all of a sudden a flame burst up into Draugr's feet and ran north to call a reinforcement. Back to the fight, as the two sides were dwindling the Draugrs were suddenly halt and also gives human defenders in a midst of conclusion. They suddenly moved their attention on the west side on the stone plains, all of a sudden a sound of trumpets heard the battlefield and draugrs were facing on west and form in line. Howard ran towards where he left moments ago and saw the supreme commander facing on the west and asked " Howard those John succeeded?". As they continue watching John and his men, later on, they saw him and his 500 men, the supreme commander sigh in defeat and decided to call his men to attack. But, Howard said " No, he is not failed he already succeeded" all of a sudden the ground shake a little in a few minutes it turns violently and revealed so many people that stood beside John.
*Meanwhile on the west side of the stone plains*
As John looked at his base and saw that it was still standing in the meantime, many people soon join and stand beside him and the leader of every group stand in front of him and they bow to pay their respect to John and going back to their respective position. As John fix his eyes on his enemies and shouted " IT IS TIME TO SHOW WHO WE ARE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WE WILL RULE THIS WORLD!!!! The people shouted and roared " KILL THEM ALL!! And all of a sudden a sound of horns begins to play and John shouted "KILL THEM ALL!!! The people roared and start running towards the enemy and thus giving the human defenders hope and soon a loud war cry joins the rally. The supreme commander replied to Howard's statement " Howard you really raise a fine leader". Howard smiles and replied, " Yes he is".

8 117Celestial Spark
Mages traditionally make poor fodder, but with proper training and motivation, possess near limitless potential. For mage teams, the battle camps of the Upper Realms provide both, with missions ranging from orc hunts to political espionage. This tale follows one such team of four who strive to prove themselves in a world that would rather overlook them. Loyalty, honour, and devotion are contrasted by avarice, treachery, and apathy, though at times it can be difficult to separate vice from virtue. For though all people, whether they hail from the peripheries or the kingdom capital, are subjects whose fates are bound to the stars, their choices must be their own. Any comments or questions are welcomed.

This story is rated PG-13+, and may demonstrate some more mature themes over the course of the story. Sixty two years had passed since a near cataclysmic event had taken place, and countless tales from those times and times before have been written into history. History, in of itself, is an excellent teacher to those from many backgrounds, but at the same time, it can teach those with malevolent intent to learn from the mistakes made by collegues and similar historical figures. History can inspire to do good whilist preventing evil, yet at the same time, can inspire evil to become smarter, and more skillful in its ways. An adventurer, accompanied by a protective guardian, had set out on a journey to explore the world of Aequiria, inspired by the thousands of tales formed previously, to forge a tale of their own through iron and strife. . . . A force known as the Aegi-Machina, souls bound to mechanical suits of armor powered by magic was formed by a figure known only as the "Golden General" during the times of strife sixty years ago. Their mission is to prevent those with power from becoming too powerful and causing another cataclysmic event, and to protect the weak from tyrannical entities. A report has shown that a powerful source of energy was found to the eastern regions of Eyr, and to fufil their mission; they must contain it. Spoiler: Spoiler This is one of my first times publically showing off one of my stories, and I hope not to disappoint. Thank you for taking the time reading it!
8 179Tales from the Triverse
Tales from the Triverse is part detective drama, part fantasy adventure and part space opera. I’m influenced by the likes of Iain M Banks, Isaac Asimov and ND Stevenson and work including The Wire and Gotham Central. It begins with an incident two hundred years ago which crashed three parallel universes together. Portals open up in 18th century London, sending England down a very different path. We pick up events in the 1970s, with the Metropolitan Police having established a new department to handle portal-related criminal activity. The story is about intolerance, immigration, multiculturalism and power. It’s about what happens when incompatible viewpoints are weaponised to seed discontent, and the efforts of some to create a fairer world. In the tradition of the best science fiction, fantasy and crime fiction, I’m using the setting to examine themes that matter to me in the real world. Who is it for?If you like science fiction or fantasy, or a mix of both, this is for you. It’s my first foray into crime fiction, but I hope if you’re a fan that you’ll enjoy yourself - especially if you’re looking for something a bit different. I write fiction that is optimistic, progressive and empathetic. Bad things can happen to good people in the stories, but the overall arc tends to be hopeful. Note that if it were a movie, Tales from the Triverse would be a 15 certificate in the UK.
