《Axis:Legacy》Prologue: Axis Academy
Advertisement
Years ago, a war broke out between two powerful Kingdoms within the Continent of Elphimin, the Kingdom of Exavis on the South West and the Kingdom of Jorouse on the North East. For a long time, these two nations carried an intense rivalry with one another that it culminated into several wars in the past. But perhaps the greatest one was the Axis Conflict, within the Axis region which served as the boundary between the both Exavis and Jorouse and since then both kingdoms had waged war against it. While the Axis Conflict was best remembered as the last War between the two Kingdom, it was a war in all but name as it was led by two Great Generals that had been supported by both Kingdoms.
At Northern Axis was controlled by a Military Force known as the Crimson Wolfpack led by Andras Desper and at Southern Axis was another Military force known as the Azure Pride led by Arios Elpis. Both of them had been known as the greatest generals of both the Kingdoms of Exavis and Jorouse and it should be noted that despite being on opposite sides, both Arios and Andras were two great friends in their early years but eventually as they grew older and adopted their own ideology that greatly contradicted one another. And by the time the Axis Conflict had begun both of them had admitted that while they would remain friends after everything, they had accepted that their allegiance will prevent them from fully reconcile and turn back into the way things before.
But at the peak of the war, with the most decisive battle taking place on the fields of Axis, and should one side were to lose control over this territory then the outcome of the war will go into their favour. And yet the war ended in a stalemate after an unspeakable event had occurred as a massive blast of both Ki and Mana energy surged through the field, leading to the disappearance of the two Heroes of the Kingdoms of Exavis and Jorouse.

Losing their greatest champions, both Kingdoms mourned their deaths to the point of instead of continuing the war both sides had ended the war and negotiated peace terms paving the way to the creation of the Treaty of Axis, which finally ends the long standing rivalry between both nations and instead working together for a better, as that what both Arios and Andras had wanted prior to their deaths.
As a part of the Treaty, an Officer Academy was built within Axis with the purpose of training young men and women to become not as soldiers for both Kingdoms but as Officers meant to serve as a neutral force and by doing so they would teach the students to remember Arios and Andras not as the Generals of a War between their nations. But as Heroes that through their passing had brought forth a new age. And to honor their memory, both the friends and allies of the two had been chosen and elected as professors and instructors to this great academy.
It should be noted that this academy, due to the nature of its main goal was to create Officers and Soldiers who are essentially worthy of inheriting the legacy that Arios and Andras had left behind in life and as a result carried a strict and borderline darwinistic belief among students that only the strongest and influential students of the Academy can continue.
However even with the peace treaties in place, there are many who refuse to accept the Treaty and what it brought along for all parties involved. Jorouse is currently suffering from Political turmoil as some believed that the Treaty was unfair and that Jorouse deserved better terms resulting into the rise of various Ultranationalist Factions within the nation. Meanwhile in Exavis, many had developed an arrogant belief that due to being the victors of a longstanding war and rivalry against Jorouse and thus believed that they are the superior people paving the rise of many power hungry and corrupt politicians all vying for political dominance within the court of Exavis. The war maybe over but the scars and turmoil left behind is still present.

Asturian Warbringer - A LitRPG on Earth
Currently releasing 5 chapters a week Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes. He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought. Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life. Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first. To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in. Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde. But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right? A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path. This is a slow-paced, character-centered story. If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel: Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
