Crystal Military Key Terms
Ranking System:
1. Cadet — An ally in training to become a soldier of the Crystal Military.

3. General Soldier — A general who has the authority to give orders to the troops of their specific team/unit. If there is a need in the case of a general soldier's absence, they may take command temporarily in different teams.
4. Captain — A soldier who has authority of everyone of lesser rank in order to give orders or present lessons in their history, positions, units, powers, and combat systems. They may lecture on new plans and strategies for present battles, given they are asked by a general. Campus and training instructors are usually of this rank.
5. General — A general who can give orders to those of lesser rank, plan out battles and strategies, take charge in present battles, and historically record any and all battles or wars. They can temporarily or unofficially promote soldiers if the need arises, as well as temporarily demote, suspend, ban, or expel a soldier.

6. General Commander — A general commander who has all of the abilities of a general. They can officially promote soldiers and make announcements about them, as well as demote or fire them. They can also form teams if the need arises, assign pressure, and obtain permission in military government sectors for various requests and needs (e.g. make classes, permanently terminate soldiers, request aid of specific persons in a sector, transfer a soldier).
7. Commander — The highest rank possible. There are extremely few Commanders in the Crystal Military. They are allowed to make announcements, declarations, lectures, and speeches. To become one, a soldier must prove to have enough experience, achievements, titles, awards, and power.
Crystallizing Unit — A unit of soldiers with the power to crystallize (or make crystals) in general. They usually participate in combat to form assaults or to defend against an assault. They are allowed to help other units if their assistance is needed.
Barrier Unit — A unit of soldiers with the power to crystallize a massive wall that will hold other powers or physical attacks at bay. The wall is usually transparent, large and tall, and incredibly difficult to fully break or melt. They are allowed to help other units if their assistance is needed.
Extinguish Unit — A unit of soldiers with the power to crystallize (or make crystals) for the purpose of instant melting and putting out fires, whether it is a normal or special (explained in Chapter 2) fire. They will use water to make crystals, melt them immediately, and extinguish fire on objects, people, or buildings, rather than use their power in active combat. However, they are allowed to participate in an assault if engaged in combat, if another's life is threatened, or if the Crystallizing Unit needs more assistance.
Special Armed Forces — A team of soldiers specially trained to adapt, battle, carry out plans, rescue soldiers or specific individuals, and abduct or capture enemies. They have specific combat techniques and strategies that they follow by, or are allowed to make their own according to their situation. They usually follow special cases and situations covered by the Investigations Unit.
Investigations Unit — A unit of soldiers that take on special cases, situations, or instances of combat that has generated confusion, complications, burdens, changes, and which have multiple layers that may breed danger or risk. They dissect and examine such cases to alleviate conflict in the military, government, or country. They usually cooperate with and utilize the Special Armed Forces if needed.
Control Unit — A unit of soldiers that cooperate with the Investigations Unit—the team that finds and tracks down users that abuse their crystallizing magic or use magic tools for unreasonable violence—to receive and monitor reports of magic abuse. They have crystallizing powers themselves, and use control magic tools to restrain users who abuse their power in the Kingdom, or even off of their land.
Military Government Sectors —
Humanistic Sector — A sector that looks into military applications and background information of individuals, determining who to interview, test, employ, or skip. They screen them and assign them their positions, if accepted. They will also look into military matters that involve a specific individual, assuming that an official complaint or report has been made on that person. When it turns out to be true, which they will also determine, they will decide on a suitable punishment; even scolding or lectures can be considered punishment. They look into transfer requests as well. It is vital that all people in this sector are unbiased, objective, logical, and thorough.
Scholar & Library Sector — A group of scholars that control the library on military bases, camps, and campuses. They are usually soldiers trained to defend themselves, property, and possessions against attacks of all kinds. The group is also trained to record minor and major battles and wars that took place in the Kingdom of Crystal, as long as the military is involved. Some scholars are certified counselors as well, and as such, will provide therapy to soldiers in need.
Badge of Valor —
Stripe of Valor —
General Soldier Strategic Meet — A shorter way of calling it is 'general soldier meet' or 'strat meet' by general soldiers and captains.

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.

Apostasy - The Lost History of Goge Vandire (A Warhammer 40,000 fan fiction)
DISCLAIMER: The characters in this story are inspired by the background of the Warhammer 40,000 intellectual property that belongs to Games Workshop Ltd. This is fan fiction, and no challenge to their ownership rights is intended. Goge Vandire is a name written in to the annals of Imperial history in blood. Often literally. No single mortal has commanded authority on the scale at which he exercised it at his height. His name is as synonymous with unspeakable evil as that of the Warmaster, Horus himself. And yet he was just a man. Where did such a man come from? What drove him to the steps he took to secure power to himself and, once he had it, how did he come to misuse it so grievously? I have scoured the records - many of them once thought lost or placed under the unbreakable seal of the Inquisition - to uncover his forgotten story, piecing together his childhood, his apprenticeship, his rise to power and his descent into madness and death. It is not the story you might expect...

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
