《Alone (Joocie X Laff!)》11

3rd person point of view:
"That's it. We don't have much a plan. I'm afraid that there's nothing left for us to do... We may just have to surrender," Laff sighed as he said this.
"Really Laff? Nothing we can do? I understand that this seems hopeless but we've been fighting for so many years; just to give up here?" Julio was disappointed.
"You saw their army, right? It was like 5x ours. And they took out so many of our soldiers; we're not winning this," he said harshly, obviously not happy knowing that they had to give up after all this time.
"Maybe you're right..."
The rest of the march was quiet; nobody daring to speak after what'd just happened. Many lost friends, and lots lost families in a span of only minutes. It was like a reminder to them; war isn't pretty.
After a small while they'd stopped marching and set up camp while Laff, Julio, and others were speaking about a plan. But... They didn't really have one. There was no way out of this, and they all knew that. The already lost so many, there was no point in trying, right?
"That's it. I'm aware that our entire kingdom in depending on us for this, but we simply can't do it. We haven't any allies that can help us here. Maybe it's best to surrender at this point," Julio suggested, siding with what Laff had said earlier.
"You know what....." Laff began, everyone expecting him agree, "We can't. One last fight is all it takes, right? If we all go down, we go down fighting. Prepare those men and women for the morning! We leave at sunrise."
They were all shocked but agreed, leaving the meeting tent to head of to bed. Today had been longer than it should've been. Each one of them knowing that tomorrow was the day that they'd probably die didn't exactly help with sleep.

-Let's switch to Joocie for a second, shall we?-
Did I hear that right? I know that spying on the king isn't exactly the right thing to do- but I didn't mean to... I was just.... Ok, if I'm being honest, I completely forgot why I was up at the moment. But still! Maybe we are all dying tomorrow.... But I guess it's like Laff said, if we go down, then we go down fighting.
I obviously wasn't paying attention at this moment.... A few people had walked past me and given me weird looks, but I didn't think anything of it at the moment. That was, until Laff walked out.
"Joocie? What're you doing up? I instructed you to go sleep in tent C," he said in a stressed tone.
"Oh- uhm- I don't actually know, I was just walking around then I heard you guys..."
"Rest now. You've probably heard what we're doing tomorrow and you won't get much sleep if you don't leave now."
"Uh-- yes sir..."
That was kind of awkward... I thought as I walked off to find whatever tent I was staying in for the night.

8 140A Queen of Ruins
Some people just want to watch the world burn. I'm not one of those people. Some people see the world as something to be saved, and brought to heights never before imagined. Again, not me. What kind of person am I? I'm a Queen, plain and simple. Lots of people, noble and commoner alike, often complain about life being a cruel mistress, or something similar. When I hear those complaints, I can only laugh, or look at them in contempt. Life is simple, you only need to let yourself take the path you are meant for. Me, I was born a bastard, lived with my mostly sadistic half-siblings, among people who thought I was naturally inferior. And look at me now. *********** I do not claim ownership of the picture
8 164Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

Popee crossed his arms with a questionable look on his face "you want to stay here? you'll have to become a performer if you really want to stay, of course I'll have to ask my dad if you are allowed." I smiled and nodded my head slightly, Popee sighed and motioned me to follow him out. Will you be staying? Or will you not? Come and see~
