"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.

The Human Traitor
Nearly two centuries ago, humanity committed a grievous taboo and liberated itself from the Worldrenders, a race of seemingly immortal creatures that dominates two of the three continents. The humans established the seven Foretoken families, swearing to never live in captivity again. In the present day, there is nothing but peace and poverty in Truweld. A poor young woman makes her money from raiding the Worldrenders' plantations. Meanwhile, a genius inventor, a man born from a Foretoken family, idles his days and his talent away. And from the northern mountains, the home of the Worldrenders, a boy with a troubled past marches to the land of the humans. He calls himself a Worldrender and wields their powers. His objective is simple: he will conquer the humans or exterminate them all. This is an epic fantasy story featuring three protagonists, a slew of high fantasy races, and several mysteries at its core. There is a minimum of one chapter (1000 words or more) each week. This story is also being posted on r/HFY.
