Prologue: Georg
Dear Mother
It is finally Christmas again. I hope from the bottom of my heart to soon return to you, Adriana and Livie again. Make sure Adriana is eating enough and tell Livie again not to go to the forest alone, she knows it's dangerous. We dealt another devastating blow to the Alliance in Berlin last month, we might even advance all the way to Madrid this winter! Pray for my safe return and for the Empire!
Yours Georg
'To hell with the fucking Empire. Seven years already are we fighting and there is no end in sight. These letters only make me think of the family I used to have in a life that seems distant after all this mindless slaughter.'
He sighed while crumbling the letter in his hand.
'They might not even be alive anymore. I don't want to think of it but this winter has been harsh even so far in the south.'
He got up from the desk and went to pack his gear. Around two hundred 50 Caliber rounds for his sniper rifle. He even packed explosive rounds for the enemy drones and Powersuit users.
Next to all the necessities like food, water, rope, sleeping bag, tent, night vision goggles and much more he of course got his bow.
Georg was a sharpshooter in the 15th division of the Great Saudi Empire. The 15th had the current objective to secure parts of the west coast of Italy in preparation of the coming invasion into Alliance territory, formerly Spain.
'I still only really trust you'
He absently though as he eyed his bow. It was more a heavy bow, considering the explosive arrows he primarily used weighed over eight pounds.
Packing everything together his gear weighed well over 200 pounds but that would drop to at least half as the mission went on. Georg was always prepared for everything. That's also a reason why he was one of the best.

He equipped his combat suit and stepped into the elevator.
'The snow is beautiful this winter, if only it wasn't for this slight diplomatic disagreement.'
Thought Georg as he rapidly approached the helipad.
He silently stepped into the chopper which lifted off soon after.
'Insane how silent these things got in last year, I barely hear the rotors.'
He thought as he slowly reopened his previously crumpled letter.
- You doin alright?
His partner asked, feeling the changing mood. Georg only nodded once, he was known to not talk as much as others. He was also known to be less dead than others. It's generally advised to be silent in the 15th division, being on the front can easily alert soundmules, a new variant of mines reacting to spoken language. They started to pop up around this time two years ago, an early Christmas present from the Alliance. This is why the rookies always ask why nobody sings anymore.
Inhaling the cold air rushing next to the flying chopper Georg almost felt nostalgic.
'Another fucking year. The only thing that's keeping me together is blasting another one of
those Alliance shits. Why can't it all just end?'
- Oh fuck Georg check this out!
Dimitri pointed to the South. Turning his head towards the mentioned event Georg saw the moving forest, the falling snow and high above it he saw fire.
'Finally Christmas'
The only thought that came to his mind as he saw the likely end of this war descending over Europe. The spectacle didn't take longer than two minutes to astonish. A blinding flash could be seen on the horizon all over the world as life itself turned into dust. As of yet unknown this event would later go down in history as the Hour of Hope.

In each life, he gets a reset and another chance to save Lancelot from being betrayed and killed by the Knights of the Round Table. They claimed that Lancelot's deep, dark secret - screwing Queen Guinnevere, caused a massive civil war that effectively screwed Avalon too. Truth is, Lancelot did have HER deep, dark secret. That SHE was probably the only woman in the world who wasn't into other women. After literally lifetimes of reliving and dying in the same damn cycle, Mordred's done playing nice. Screw trying to persuade the Knights of the Round Table Lancelot didn't swing that way. This isn’t a story about becoming a hero amongst heroes. This is a story about becoming a villain, so that a hero amongst heroes stays a hero. _____________ Cover Image credit: assassin__s_creed_ix_by_remussirion-d4ecbhf

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
