"Sergeant Jackson," said an unknown voice, "Do you mind explaining your actions in Southeast Asia on July 26th, 1999?"
Sonata replied, "Sure. It was 0700 hours at a secret IA base in Southeast Asia near the Central Highlands of Vietnam,"

Southeast Asia
July 26th, 1999
Sonata was asleep on an Army cot in a tent.
Someone awakens her.
"It's crank time SOGX!" said a Special Forces soldier
Sonata got out of bed and got her rifle ready.
She noticed some IA Field Agents having some fun and all that.
She and another Special Forces soldier boarded a P-113 helicopter with an M375 Minigun on both sides even mounted to be used by the crew.
"Headset on," said the co-pilot
Sonata was placed on a headset but sat down behind the pilot with an R66 (M40 rifle) sniper rifle with a 10x scope.
Sonata shielded her eyes from the morning sunrise.
***
Several minutes later
In a village.
The helicopter got shot at and the helicopter dodged a few RPG rockets that were fired at them. The pilot used the helicopter's dual-mounted miniguns and a few 77mm rockets against the guerilla force.
After the landing zone was cleared the helicopter dropped them off where it was just Sonata and the other special forces soldier that awaken her got off.
Sonata fired her sniper rifle at times but switched to her Phoenix Pistol for close-quarters combat.
She and the Special forces soldier continued and they killed anyone with a gun and whoever shot at them was killed.
The duo stormed a building where an enemy militia member jumped out but Sonata disarmed him and stabbed him in the throat with her M3 Fighting knife, But she went on her way with her pistol and her knife out.
There was a steel door that Sonata opened she opened where she got attacked by someone but she easily killed him and the other guy in quick succession.
"Chalk 1-3 this is Sierra Oscar Golf X-ray," said Sonata, "We have the package and ready for pickup at LZ Bravo. ETA Three Minutes!"

Chalk 1-3 replied, "Roger. You'd better hurry it up. Enemy reinforcements are inbound! They got about twenty-one T-55s, thirty BMP-1s, ten BMP-2s, and a few BTR-60s. Also includes about a couple of hundred-foot mobiles and mechanized infantry! Y'all got a couple of minutes before they're right on top of y'all! Chalk 1-3 out!"
The two got out of there as fast as they could but enemy reinforcements sealed off all ground possibilities of exits. But their helicopter came and they got on.
"Just squeeze the trigger and he's dead," whispered Sonata before the sniper rifle fired.
They flew somewhere else to get another thing. But there was a problem and that was the place was under siege. They're under constant mortar, and artillery. and rocket artillery fire of them getting hit by 1300 shells per day and they been there for four days.
It was something secret they were given and the helicopter lifted off with two more P-113's to try and confuse the enemy of which one the package it was in.
A Rocket Propelled Grenade was seen being fired at the helicopter on the right and the RPG hits the helicopter and it loses control and rams the P-113 on the right.
The helicopter hits the one their in and their helicopter starts to spin out of control but Sonata and the Special Forces soldier she's with tried to help the crew chief of the helicopter but he got sucked out and fell to his death.
Their helicopter crashed.
"You ok?" asked Sonata
SFG soldier replied, "Yeah I"
There was gunfire and Sonata fired her Phoenix pistol at charging guerilla fighters she then used an M3 fighting knife to cut off her seatbelt but she fell due to their upside down.
Sonata got out and picked up her sniper rifle but she threw a red smoke grenade.
Sonata wasn't really picky about targets but she aimed down the scope, fired, cycled the bolt, and rinse and repeated.
It wasn't long until they heard the sounds of jets flying over and they came back dropping bombs only to reveal their not conventional bombs but actually napalm bombs.

"So you and Sergeant Major Owen," said an unknown male voice, "Got the secret thing and got out of there but you'd got shot down. What happened next,"
Sonata replied, "We got picked up by a P-117 and flown back to the secret IA Base. But I walked around for a bit wondering if I should continue my career in the Little Bird Armed Forces or if should I leave after my third tour of duty is up, get a job, and maybe should I get my eggs fertilized one day to have children. But we'd had to go back out,"

Crash site
July 26th, 1999
A P-117 arrived and it got the two and the secret package they got. Sonata wishes she knew what it was but at the same time, she didn't think it'll be for the best.
***
Back at the IA Secret Base.
Sonata walked around just thinking about what she should do after her third tour of duty is up. But she has been thinking about leaving the military to have a civilian life and maybe start a family with her lesbian partner.
Sonata doesn't know yet but she's only in her Twenty Three but she doesn't know yet but she wants to find a civilian career that'll cater to work-family life.
Seargent Major Owen heard Sonata talking to herself and offered to help and he even pulled the "every girl wants a bad boy" card but Sonata told him no more than once.
She even told him more than once she doesn't want a guy who acts tough, and she doesn't want a jackass nor a sexist, misogynistic, or patriarchal prick. Sgt Major Owen acts like a bad boy, but he is a sexist, misogynistic, patriarchal jackass.
He threatens to have her kicked out of the Little Bird Special Forces, the Little Bird Armed Forces, and have her blacklisted because he has friends in high places.
Sonata didn't care about his friends in high places. To Sonata he was just another jackass who wants to get his dick wet and to her, he's the definition of self-preservation.
The two then went on a short walk around the perimeter of the base.
Sergeant Major Owen got some distance away from Sonata and she aimed down the scope and lined the crosshair at the back of Sgt Mjr Owen's head and there was a loud bang.
Sonata then had the rifle at a 45 degree angle and she cycled the bolt once.

August 9th, 1999
City of Chocolate Little Bird.
Blister Canyon-Little Bird-Lava Falls Defense Force Headquarters.
Sonata didn't tell them about her killing Sergeant Major Owen.
"So Sergeant Jackson," said an unknown male voice, "SgtMjr Owen was killed while on patrol. But we've found a 7.62x51mm round in the back of his skull and a casing only sixty feet behind him. Your sniper rifle is of the same caliber,"
Sonata replied, "Yeah. And how many rifles during the Vietnam war were of the same caliber? How many rifles of the same caliber were captured by the NVA and VC? Hundreds? Thousands? Of rifles in the same caliber,"
Another voice did point out that she's right that the Americans did use hundreds if not thousands of rifles used in that caliber and an unknown amount of rifles in that caliber were captured from them by either the Viet Cong or North Vietnamese Army during the war.
They decided to let Sonata go and decided to investigate further but without a witness, they just put the file into a file cabinet and let her go without charging her with a crime.
***
On a military firing range.
Sonata was in the prone position just laying on the ground.
"Just squeeze and they're dead!" said Sonata
Sonata then squeezed the trigger and fired the rifle and the bullet hit the bullseye.
Sonata just practiced her sniping skills

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.

Summoning Our Country - NHS Kai
CONTENT WARNING: Japanese ultranationalism, language, gore depictions, obscene scenery Off to the Orient lay a massive ocean that separated the bellies of the great continents of Eurasia and the Americas. In between the global juggernauts that were the United States of America and the People's Republic of China was a state home to 120 million people and the world's third largest economy. But things often don't go as hoped. The nation of Japan suddenly wakes up to the heavens above them having been rewritten in what seemed like divine premonition. A familiar, yet otherwise alien world awaited them beyond the shores that had kept them safe. As the vices of globalization threatened to wreck havoc and condemn the Japanese state into obscurity, it was up to newly elected Prime Minister Takamori Hideaki and his administration to face this challenge of epic proportions. Paying homage to みのろう's Summoning Japan (Nihonkoku Shoukan, NHS) as a fan-made work, this story will also follow Japan, but explores a completely different world. Now helmed by a named Prime Minister, Japan will wade the murky waters of the new world as it struggles to come to terms with its issues. Also available on Wattpad, Scribble Hub, and Fanfiction.net

2nd Chance
It's my first time writing a story so you might spot a lot of amateur mistakes but feel free to criticize my writing as much as you like. Anyways, to give you a quick idea of what the story is all about, the original title of this novel was supposed to be "The Yankee in Another World" but when I thought about writing that in the cover I immediately thought 'HELL NAW' and went with a different one and I feel like the new title captures the essence of this story more. because although it's categorized as an Isekai, the story is more focused on redemption rather than the Isekai fantasy. Hopefully, I'll be able to update this synopsis once I thought of one.
