《The Hero Without a Past》Chapter One Hundred and Four: Agni Goes Clubbing, Part Two
Advertisement
Nestor turned out to be a thin-lipped man in a stern grey suit. After a quick chat, Agni convinced him to sell us a high-capacity shield generator and six smaller, pint-sized devices for the low, low price of one million dollars.
Joy.
Nestor also had a jammer, although a much less sophisticated one than Plavic’s. It generated a Level 2 jamming field, which only stopped EM, acoustic and thermal sensors. Didn’t stop people from recording a video and reading our lips, so Agni spoke with a hand over her mouth to reassure Nestor, who followed suit.
“I’ll be about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars short for the shields,” I grumbled to Agni afterwards.
“I’ll lend you the difference. Trust me, this shield generator will save your life.”
“I got that from his explanation.” Nestor’s answers had convinced me that the generator would provide at least 1000 shield points. “I just… don’t like owing money to people.”
“Fine, you can pay me in materials.”
“What materials?”
“The stuff you make your armor out of. Aren’t you trading it to people?”
“Uh… no?”
“Why? You’ve got loads of it lying around your warehouse. You could make a fortune off it on the black market. Or, heck, on military contracts, since you’re so chummy with them already.”
“... right, of course.” In all the chaos, I’d forgotten General Xavier’s ‘request’ to share any technology I could spare... “I doubt I could make enough of it, though.”
“Why not? It can’t take you that long to make it.”
“I can make about two kilos per minute at most. Hardly enough to make a difference.”
“So how much would it take for you to armour, say, one of their tanks in it?”

“Twenty tons, at least. That’s about a month’s work, just for one tank.”
“Wait, did they say you’d need to put twenty tons of armour on a tank?”
“... er, that’s how much armor a tank usually has?”
“Did you talk to your friends in the military about how much they would NEED. Not how much you THINK they would need. And what they would do if you gave them, say, five hundred kilos of fullersteel.”
“That’s a good idea.” I hadn’t really thought of the possibility much, but it seemed sensible to armour the tanks that were going to be fighting the aliens - maybe a thin layer would still help. And if it helped me pay for the shielding system, well worth it.
“Now that’s settled, we should order.”
“Order?”
“Yeah, this is a five star restaurant. Might as well enjoy the food, right?”

Soul Vessel Psyche
If it’s not obvious from the Title this is yet another reincarnation story. The story will be told from the perspective of one Novid Ollo; half-breed son of the Matriarch of the Knora Race and twin brother to Ovis Ollo the future Matriarch of the Vnora sub-Race.The world of Orro that Novid is born into has been ravaged by the demons from the demon world. The Demons were accidentally lead to Orro 500 years earlier by a conflagration of magic from feuding countries of the Vern Race; opening a doorway between the worlds which released hordes of Demons into Orro.The Dvern and the Svern are the 2 Subspecies of the Vern Race responsible for this calamity and were the first victims of the Demon hordes. The next to fall victim were the proud Knora of the North. The ice giants fought the Demon hordes to stalemate and seemed poised to prevail until the dragon rulers of the Demon Race joined the fight. While the Dvern and the Svern are essentially extinct the Knora managed to save 17 females and 55 males.How Novid Ollo is born as half Svern is also how he died in the previous life, and why he is both pitied and hated by his race and others. There are no Gods to offer special talents and Favours, there is no path to Godly Power and everyone is born with exactly the same potential. Novid Ollo will have to carry the weight of the sins of his father like the others who’s Souls were ripped from their lives on Earth and brought to this unforgiving Realm of Magic; filled with Monsters and Demons.What happens to Novid Ollo is entirely dependent on the extent of the effort he puts into preparations for when whimsical opportunity shines its light on him. Fortunately Novid Ollo didn’t come to Orro alone?15 million? other Human Souls were ripped from their lives on Earth at the same time as Novid and reborn on Orro to serve as the last wave of cannon fodder in the unending war against the hordes of Demons.Inspired by; Mushoku Tensei, Slime Tensei, Daybreak on Hyperion. As usual I unashamedly draw some elements from my favourite light novels in writing this Original Fiction.I thought I’d try writing something for the?Reincarnation? genre.?Written in South African English which means closer to the British Standard.?Warning: Mature Content ?Violence, Language and Adult Themes ?List of My Novels:?Realm Eternal??Crystal Guardian ??Exiled Nomads of the Galaxy??Soul Vessel Psyche?
