"Have you heard what I was saying?"
"...Nope."
"Haaah... anyway, have you decided on a weapon yet?"
"I think so, yes."
"And?"
"The crossbow, it is the only weapon that I might, perhaps, have an idea of how to use, maybe."
"Alright. You will be a ranged combatant, I assume you haven't bought it yet?"
"No."
"Then you will want to make haste, we have an scheduled summon."
"Summons can be scheduled?"
"Of course they can, now go get the crossbow. Oh and, don't forget to buy some arrows too."

"All right soldiers! The cycle has come! Some idiot is trying to weasel their way out of a contract and we ain't about to accept that are we? So now we are gonna take that idiot and shove his head so far up his ass that his soul will be inside out by the time we are done. Now i know large scale operations are not the usual and some of you might be feeling cranky, but i also know that you all are of pride, so you will take those complaints and choke on them until we finish the operation 'cause guess who? ENVY!. That's right folks, that's how the idiot is trying to get out, and are we gonna let those fuckers have half a reason to parade like peacocks in front of us for the next batch? Hell. Fucking. NO! So man up and get going till those rats go burrowing back to the fucking hole in the ground they call home! Now refer to your superior officer for each individual mission."

"You heard the liutenant colonel boys, now go get everything you may need and come back, we set out as soon as everyone is here."
""Yes, sir.""
"You stay, newbie."
"Sir?"
"You got the crossbow already?"
"Yessir."
"Alright. You aren't part of any squad yet so you will be allocated to the ranged company, probably the crossbow platoon, go to the shooting range and speak with the corresponding officer."
"Yessir."
"Those with shields upfront, i want a row of pavise in an inverse semicircular formation, when we get there we will have to take high ground and start loosing, if they think some shitty village palisade will be enough to make us lose in range they have it coming."
"Sir?"
"Yeah? What?"
"I've been sent here to join the ranged company, sir."
"Oh yeah? What's your name?"
"Last, sir."
"Let's see... A newbie? And in probation? Fuck. Do you have any experience with that?"
"No, sir. But i have experience with more advanced ranged weapons."
"Oh, you do? Thank god, what would we do without you? Get in that line there and try not to get killed, maybe you'll even hit something, just try not to make that something an ally."
"Yes, sir."
"As if i was not in enough shit already they want me to take care of some newbie..."
Note to self: Not piss off ranged company's Captain.

Incomplete
DON'T READ THIS! WELL IF YOU WANT TO YOU CAN, BUT DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU! I LEAVE IT HERE AS A REMINDER TO MYSELF. MAYBE, ONE DAY, I WILL REWRITE IT, THOUGH IT WILL BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY! After the Hero, Olympius, son of God, defeated the Demon King and uncovered his evil plot of infiltrating humanity with demons, the world returned to balance. People could live in peace again, not having to worry if their lives were in constant danger. But after a long time, darkness started brewing again in the world. A shade that this time, they created themselves. P.S. It's my first novel, so I welcome any critique, and if you find any grammar mistakes and if you can find motivation in you to inform me of those, please do! ;)

8 170The Last Exorcist
The most powerful human beings were wiped out. Spirits and deities are crossing to mortality without the exorcists to stop them. Liang was the only exorcist left and she thought her life ended after the war. For the past twenty years, she watched the civilization of humans fall and from the bed of their destruction, arose the Guren—a race of humanoid animals that were once Yin spirits called shadows. At the brink of extinction, Liang meets Wei Bao, a snow leopard and a former deity. Liang was resolute in spending the remainder of her life hiding while Bao was determined to change Liang's perspective and defeat the conqueror and sovereign, Yi Zhaohu. However, unbeknownst to them, something far greater than mortal squabbles is rising. A great awakening is in motion and it seeks to devour all.
8 113Bedrock 巖盤 Ganban
Not everyone is born equal. In a world where everyone is born with an ability, some people get the short end of the stick. Kazuki is one of these people. He is one of the few people born with an F class ability, an ability so weak he is powerless against any foe. So weak that he holds the title of bedrock, a title that literally means “at the bottom.” But sometime very soon he will discover his true abilities and become the strongest adventurer in the land. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New version at https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27723/bedrock-ganban This is the official version again. We decided to edit the chapters and change them instead of making an entirely new account. ~November 30: All of the chapters have been updated and improved. It took a few months, but the story is better than ever! As of today, new chapters with be posted every weekend.~ ~January 20: First off, Happy New Years! I hope you all can make use of this year even more than that last. I know we will.... Secondly, one of our writers has finals so the next couple (and previous) chapters may come out a day or two late and shorter than usual. We'll pick up pace after this week!~ ~April 20: Happy 4/20/2020, since we're starting to write longer chapters, it'll probably take longer for us to post some chapters. The output for chapters should be amped up after AP exams are over. ~October 20: Edited previous chapters some and re-wrote chapter 17 as it was terrible and didn't deserved to be released. Almost done with 18. -Posted 18
8 171A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
8 202Aim and Fire
Jamie Christiansen is a brave but lovably awkward knight who harbors a crush on the snarky and headstrong Princess Caitlin Faraday. She has always wanted to prove herself to be more than a princess, while he just wants to get from one day to the next. When circumstance brings the two together, they form a grudging partnership that may develop into something greater. Soon enough, they uncover a conspiracy involving mercenaries, mythical creatures, and a connection to Caitlin's family history. As the two get closer, and their feelings deepen, they are forced to make choices that will change their lives, and their world, forever.
