《W.A.R.F.R.A.M.E.》Chapter Thirty Three: Team Training Part 1

Frank smirked, “Yeah, seriously. I am the president of the club and captain of the team. Which means I am in a way, your boss.” Vincent found this new revelation somewhat hard to swallow. Anna observed Justin and Vincent and noticed their anger and depression. She then hit Frank’s arm, “Owww”, Frank said as he placed his right hand on his left arm, “What was that for?” Anna placed both her hands on her hip, “You did it again, didn’t you Frank? Seriously, couldn’t you have gone easy on them. The last guys you did this to, quit the team immediately after joining.”
Listening to the conversation, Justin raised his hand, Anna saw the raised hand and said, “Yes, Justin.” Justin then asks, “Um, what are you two talking about?” Anna released an exasperated breath before hitting Frank's arm again. She then explained, “You see, Justin, Vincent, Frank here was testing you two. He has a habit of challenging his teammates to a battle to make observations on the team’s abilities. From there, he’d be able to identify the areas where you could improve. His intentions are noble. It’s just that he has a tendency to go overboard and actually go all out.”
Anna observed the dissatisfied Vincent and the defeated Justin, and asks, “So how did you lose?” Vincent was still angry and depressed, so Justin shrugged and answered, “He sneak attacked us when we separated. Then he distracted me while he took care of Vincent, before taking us both out with an AOE attack.” Anna cringed, “Ouch. I am so sorry he did that to you, guys. But at least you got some experience out of it.” Vincent grumbled, “I couldn’t even do a thing. What sort of experience could we have gotten from this?” Frank tried to cheer Vincent up, “This is considered a good experience because not all of the opponents you’re going to face will actually challenge you to a face-to-face battle. The more powerful teams will implement a strategy of some sort. And it’s your job to adapt to it.”
Vincent took a deep breath and exhaled, “I guess I can accept your reasons. But was it really necessary to do it like that?” Anna hits Frank's arm again but this time she had hit him even harder, “Vincent’s right. Was it necessary to use Meteor Bomber?” Frank awkwardly scratches the back of his head, “I guess I did go a bit too far there. Sorry, you two. But Anna, that last one, hurts you know. How could you do this to a guy that just got out of the hospital? Don’t you think you should be a little more gentle with how you treat me? After all, your brutality might send me back to the ICU.”

Frank blushed when he looked at Anna as he said it. Anna gave Frank a disappointing look, “Seriously, you’re going there? You hurt your leg, Frank, not your arm. Hitting your arm wouldn’t hurt you much. So, stop exaggerating”
Seeing this, Justin whispered to Vincent, “Hey, is it just me, or do you also see the awkward tension between those two?” Vincent squinted his eyes as he watched Anna and Frank arguing and he whispered to Justin, “Nope, I don’t see it.” Justin then muttered under his breath, “Wow, you really are blind to this kind of thing. I feel so sorry for you.” With the apologies settled, Anna sat everyone down. “Okay, now that everyone’s here. Let’s work on a game plan. I ran into Mister Myers earlier and he told me that our opponents for the next round have been decided.”
Vincent, Justin, and Frank looked at Anna in anticipation, “So, who are we facing in the next round?” Frank asked. Anna reveals the team they will be facing for the next round. “For the third round, our opponents will be Charles Brighton Military Academy, team Brave Berets.” Frank places his index finger on his chin and his thumb under the chin, “If they’re our next opponents, then we really need to work on our teamwork.”
The team went back to the cockpits. In his cockpit, Vincent complained, “Our teamwork is fine without you. What could you possibly do to make us better?” The mechanical voice announced, “Initiating display. Mission selected: Blizzard Mountain. Simulation difficulty set to B.” When all four frames entered the battlefield, they found themselves on a snow-capped mountain. The entire battlefield was on the mountainside near a ridge. White snow covered the entire landscape with strong winds blowing more snow their way. This situation disrupted their view making it difficult for them to see.
A few enemy frames peeked out of the snow and fired beams at Vincent and his team. All four frames dashed around to avoid the attacks. Frank then gave out orders, “Everyone, spread out, we’re too big a target together. Get into pairs and take a direction. Vincent, you’re with me, we’re going left. Anna, we’ll meet up at the top of the mountain.” Upon receiving orders, Anna nodded, “Justin, we’re going right. Take out as many of them as possible.”

So the team separated into two smaller teams with Vincent going with Frank and Justin teaming up with Anna. Frank and Vincent moved down the path from their initial position. They dashed through the snow with Vincent taking the lead. “Vincent, take out the enemies that pop up closes to us, while I take out the ones in the distance.” Frank raised his sniper rifle and took aim after finding a large rock for him to take cover. Frank activated his radar and his targeting system. His screen zoomed into the distance where he caught sight of several frames hiding near the snow.
All of the frames they were facing were painted white to give a camouflage advantage against players. The designers wanted to give players a real challenge. Vincent agreed to the plan, albeit reluctantly. While Frank was busy scoping out enemy units and sniping them Vincent kept guard, in case a few of the units came in close while Frank was busy. While Vincent was impatiently waiting, three white enemy units jumped out of the snow. They were intent on getting rid of the two intruders that had entered their territory.
Seeing the incoming attack, Vincent knew he could not fire his mega launcher. His enemies were too close, “Ughh, screw it.” Vincent dropped his mega launcher and took out both of his beam hawks and blocked the three swords that fell upon him. Vincent struggled but he was able to push them back. The three frames tried to regain their footing after being knocked back. Not wanting to waste his opportunity, Vincent dashed forwards and cuts down the first frame. The second one was able to regain its footing and was about to charge in for a second attack, but Vincent did not allow it to gain any momentum. He threw one of his axes and it hit the enemy unit in the head before Vincent unleashed the full force of his Gatling gun in a hail of bullets.
The second unit fell, and Vincent retrieved his axe before the simulated enemy exploded. Witnessing its two comrades’ fall, the third unit turned around and ran. Vincent was going to leave it be when Frank contacted him, “Don’t let it run away, Vincent. It might cause us trouble later. Take it out now. Captain’s orders.” Vincent wanted to argue but he accepted his orders. He quickly catches up to the fleeing unit and threw his axe. It struck squarely on the AI unit’s back. Vincent arrives and pulls out his axe before swinging both of his axes and cutting down the fleeing unit. He turns around and leaves as the unit he had just defeated exploded in the background.
Vincent returned to Frank and reported, “All three units have been dealt with.” Frank nodded, “Good. I’ve taken out all of the ones that were in our way. Now we can move forward without any problems.” Vincent picked up his mega launcher and followed behind Frank as they made their way up the mountain. Along the way, Vincent spotted various black spots on the seemingly white snow. At each spot, he saw the parts and pieces left behind when frames explode. There were quite a few of them as they made their way.
Frank stopped when they arrived at the entrance of a large cave. After stopping at the entrance, Frank turned to Vincent, “Vincent, you’re taking the lead on this one.” Vincent did not know what Frank was up to so he decided that it was better to just roll with it. He could argue and comment after the simulation was over.

# The Gemstone of Ominium 1 - Denial
* Know more about the books and read earlier releases on the official site: http://carpersanti.net/arnae/ * He had to see her again. He didn't know why. He was a grown man now, no longer the lonely child he'd been in the past. And yet the breathtaking need remained the same, and every time he recalled that night the pain of separation was still as strong, still as raw has it had been. He knew it made no sense and yet he couldn't deny it. No matter what others might say he had to meet her. And, deep inside his heart, he childishly hoped she'd be a little bit like him, that she'd be able to truly see and understand him. For what bound could be stronger than blood?She dreamed of death every night and of freedom every morning. From her window she saw herself leave that place, run across the forest and escape the suffocating fate that awaited her. And yet she knew that the chains that bound her were needed and well deserved. For she was all too aware of the dark horror of who she truly was. And so she accepted her fate. Until a promise she couldn't remember being made was fulfilled, and a Prophecy of blood and death never came to pass. And so maybe she could be freed from those chains after all. Maybe there was still hope for her. Maybe she'd be strong enough to deny her true self and simply live.

8 153Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)

The world has changed. Humans, plants and animals have supernatural abilities, fantasy monsters are roaming the streets and technology doesn't work anymore. Follow the protagonist, as he battles humans, animals, plants and monsters alike, leaving a suspiciously blood-less trail in his wake.____________________________________________This fiction is just my way of practicing writing so that I may improve myself. So, please be as critical and harsh as possible while you read this. Constructive criticism is always welcome, no matter how brutal it may be.Mature tag is there for a reason! There will be gore, adult language and a lot of things that people may think of as disgusting starting from the very first chapter. Hope you enjoy reading this fiction.
