The King replied.
"So what is this news you have for me? If that is not important you may leave now."
The wounded knight answer.
"After our continuous victory and advancing to take over the whole Arcania as we are nearing their Capital city when some unknown wyvern flying around the Arcanian Gate, They call themselves as Pilipins (Philippines) after that a loud explotions erupts to our forces out of nowhere the hole legionnaires has been wiped out even our Wyvern attack forces didn't even stand a chance against the super speed and loud rawr of their iron wyverns of the Pilipins."
The King is a bit disappointed and cannot believed on what he hears about the story of the wounded knight.
"Hahaha! That's totally absurd story you got on me! So you're telling me that for over fifty thousand soldiers we have in the Arcanian capital we already lost in an instant? That is totally absurd story! This Arcanians are just low creatures and cannot even unmatched with our modern Army!. And what with this Pilipins all about?
The knight explain the situation
"Let me explain the situation your Majesty, First of all after all the battle we have in arcania and we are nearing to capture Arcania's capital city when some unknown flying iron pegasus speaks in front of their capital city and they call itself as from the government of the pilipins and suddenly a few moments later it rain hell of large explosions out of nowhere that eliminated 80 percent of our legions. They have their iron wyvern that can fly at super speed that our current wyvern can't chase it."
"2nd we have also news from our 105th Legionnaire that they also encounter unidentified forces from the beach head of Saigo in Arcania our 50 thousand army has just been wiped out in an instant. The unidentified enemies just came from the middle of the ocean and start firing their magical wand and they even have iron tortoise that can't even be penetrated by our ballista and arrows from our archers."
The King is annoyed and starting to get mad about the news.
"So you're telling me that 400 thousand armies we deployed in Arcania we already lost 100 thousand men? Or you just making this kind of excuse for the failure you all made in Arcania? Bullshit Arcanian's are just a lowly creatures and you all defeated in an instant?"
The Knight feels nervous while he speaks to the king.
"No your Majesty our new enemy is much more stronger and they are a monsters in human flesh."
The King orders one of the royal guard to call his generals about the situation about their invasion in Arcania.
"Hey you! tell all the generals we have a meeting about our campaign in Arcania!"
"Hai!"
The King walks away and tell the knight that their conversation must not be spread to anyone.
"Hey you!"
"Yes your Majesty?"
"After what we've talk earlier I need you to shut your mouth and don't ever talk to anyone about this thing you got it?"
"Yes your Majesty as you wish!"
"Good and I'm going to go now and you may take your rest and patch up your wound at the infirmary."

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!

However, when Soletus’s resolve to help starts to waiver, Mien does something unexpected and Soletus decides that the boy deserves a second chance not as an act of duty but as a friend. Hy'Ruh-Ha is a what I consider a chronicle fantasy. It is a fantasy drama coming of age story inspired by slice-of-life stories I've read and watched. It is heavy on the slice-of-life and does move slow. It is low-stakes fantasy. This particular story is romance free.(2 out the of 4 is re-uploaded under this title) And if you are someone who cares, the POV character is asexual. Crossroad(formally labeled as the intermission stories)- is a novella collection continuing the tale where Hy'ruh-Ha. The collection as followed: Wolf- After spending several months in the swamp post, Oeric'Sheldmartin returns to repair the chasm between him and his son, Soletus. However, a ghost from his past comes to haunt him and could ruin the life he's made completely. Note: Wolf is a bit of a character piece. POV character is Oeric. The Priest and the Priestess- A novella written in the POV of Mien and then Kiao after a series of unexpected events that change their lives. Mien's POV- Mien has spent the last couple of years working not only in the infirmary but training to become a combat chanter as part of his penitence.

Now she has to figure out her future in ways she never thought she would. I'm going for a Tues and Thurs day schedule for the re-upload. I may or may not stick in extra days.
