???:"Where in the world are we?"
???:"I have no idea, this world isn't chartered on the holomap."
???:"I'll look for a place to land. Scan the ship for any signs of damage and do not let your guard down while we're here, Shand."
Fennec:"What of Mos Espa, Boba?"
Boba:"Unless we can find a way back there's nothing we can do. Look, there's something." He pointed to several objects that were moving together. As they got closer to the objects, they soon made out what it was.
Fennec:"Are those people!?"
Getting just slightly overhead to the humanoid creatures, several of them jumped up and latched onto Boba's ship. Boba used his twin repeating cannons to blast them off his ship.
Boba:"I'm going for an attack run on these things. Whatever they are, they're not people."
The titans were blasted by the heavy repeating blaster cannons tearing them apart. Finishing up his attack run, Boba looked over to Fennec.
Boba:"Let's find a place to land."
Fennec:"Preferably somewhere that isn't riddled with these things."
Boba:"Agreed..."

Stohess District
A few hours after discovering Annie's escape.
In a bid to try to escape from the Survey Corps, Annie resorted to climbing the walls. Dozens of onlookers including the Scouts watched her begin her climb up. Mikasa wasn't going to let that happen to she rushed in and sliced Annie's fingers off.
With her hardened fingers that she used for climbing lost, Annie lost her grip on the wall and started to descend. Mikasa landed on her forehead, ordering her to fall.
Mikasa jumped off and hooked onto the wall watching the Female Titan fall to her demise. Levi, Hange, and dozens of Scouts awaited at the bottom. When she landed, an enraged Eren wasted no time and pounced on her.
Unrelenting blows to the face, popping an eye out of her eye socket, and soon ripping her arm off.
Everyone watched the mayhem unfold. It got too out of hand when Eren decided to rip her nape and nearly eat Annie. What prevented that from happening was a form of crystallization that started to form around Eren's titan forcing Levi to get him out.
Levi:"Idiot, we need her alive."
Keiji:"Damn it! You coward, bitch! Come out and talk to us! Repay your damn debt!"
Hange:"Keiji, stop it! Now is not the time for this! Tie this crystal up, she might be able to wake up and if she does we're not in the best place to fight her. I need you to take her somewhere underground and fast!"

Keiji:"...understood."
Hange:'Just when we thought we had Annie cornered, she goes and pulls something like this off. Whatever that crystal is made of, it's definitely harder than iron. We don't even know if she's alive, she holds information we desperately need. Tch, where's Din and his Dark Saber.' She thought. Taking a glance up at the wall, she spotted Mikasa.
Hange:"Mikasa? What's she doing up there?"
Mikasa:'It's alive...'
Jean:"Oi, oi, oi! Is that a titan!?"
Levi:"What do we do, Four-eyes?"
Hange:"I-I don't know..." She was unsettled by the sudden discovery of a titan within the wall.
Thoughts were running by in the back of her mind with the possibility of more titans within. A man came up from behind her snapping her out of her thoughts.
Hange:"Pastor Nick?"
Pastor Nick:"Quickly...do not let sun shine on that....titan! We mustn't waste...any time!"

Din rushed to the join the meeting taking place between the Military Brigade and the Survey Corps. Several guards stood outside and blocked his entry.
Din:"What are you doing? I'm with Erwin."
MP:"Sorry sir but we weren't told of any other leaders joining in." Erwin opened the door to speak on Din's behalf. The two men joined Hange and the District Chief at the table.
District Chief:"Erwin, explain to me why you held such valuable information to yourself. Also, why not get the Military Police's cooperation in this?"
Erwin:"It was strictly confidential due to there being a possibility of a spy among the ranks."
District Chief:"Then care to explain the devastating loss of life as well as the northern part of the city being destroyed?"
Erwin:"We had plans to take her underground, preventing the shift. However, it did not proceed as we had imagined so for that I apologize."
District Chief:"Have you been able to extract any valuable information from Leonhart?"
Erwin:"Not yet, but with the help of Din and his weapon, we'll have her out in no time."
District Chief:"Finally, some good news then."
Several voices were heard outside the door catching their attention. A Scout bursted into the room with disheartening news.
MP:"Hold on, damn it!"
Touma:"Commander Erwin, Wall Rose has been breached!"
The District Chief and his people all started to panic but a quick order from Erwin shut them down.

Erwin:"Bring up the Infantry Unit and set up our artillery where we can expect them to arrive."
Hange:"Erwin, we don't have many gun pieces left. They were all nearly destroyed from our retreat to Trost."
Erwin:"I know but we need whatever we can muster up to defend against the titans."
Touma:"Commander, there's also something else."
Erwin:"What is it."
Touma:"There seems to be a metal like object that was in the air. It's been spotted near Hermina District and..." He stopped and looked over at Din.
Touma:"The man looks like Captain Din."
After hearing that, it was enough to piece together that Boba had arrived. How? Din wasn't too sure but reaching him would become his top priority.
Din:"Was his armor green? What did he have on him?" He walked up to the man and barraged him with questions.
Hange:"Hold on, Din! I'm sure he's exhausted from all that horse riding. Touma, go rest and thank you."
Touma excused himself from the room. Everyone in the room were now curious to hear more about this 'Boba'.
Din:"I'm sorry but I need to know where Hermina District is at. I'll deal with cutting Annie out of that crystal but this is important for me."
Erwin:"A friend of yours?"
Din:"Yes, he is. He's a far more experienced Mandalorian than I am. From what I know, his reputation serves him well where we come from."
Erwin:" I see, then we'll head to Utgard Castle. We should expect a response from one of Annie's assailants if they know of her capture."
Din:"I'll make sure to join up with you as soon as I can."
Din was the first to leave the room in search of Boba. Erwin's idea was to separate any of Annie's potential allies within the 104th graduates in case they were to join in. The Armored and Collasal Titan were still out there amongst their people, Erwin knew it.
___________
The suspected breach of Wall Rose allowed dozens of titans to pour in. Many of those titans went straight to Utgard Castle, an old Scout base. The veteran Scouts that were holed up there gave their lives to protect the 104th members.
In a last ditch effort, Ymir revealed a shocking secret when she transformed into a small titan. She jumped around killing as many titans as she could but she was no match. Thinking of an idea, she tore away at the rotting castle until the entire structure came tumbling down.
Connie:"Haha! Great thinking, Ymir! She got all the titans killed underneath all the rubble."
Krista turned to her titan friend with a smile on her face. That faded when the titans underneath were felt moving around.
Connie:"Oh shit! Hurry up and kill them!"
Ymir once again jumped around trying to kill as many as she could but there were far too many. A larger titan grab her hair and slammed her onto the ground allowing the rest to eat her.
Krista:"No, no, no! Ymir!"
Connie:"Krista, wait!"
Krista:"There's still something I need to tell you! I have yet to tell you my real name!"
As she was running up to her, out appeared a titan reaching to grab Krista. Before it could, a Scout came up on the titans nape and killed it in time.
Krista:"Mikasa!"
Mikasa:"Stay back, we got it from here!"
Petra:"Mikasa, guard them! We'll catch any stragglers left roaming around!"
Mikasa:"Understood!"
Hundreds of Scouts poured in on the offensive saving the small group. Hange commanded the attack with Levi and his squad joining in to support.
Of course with a large force attacking, the battle was cut short ending in a Scout victory. Connie reported what happened to Hange and Levi including Ymir's transformation. The two senior commanders took their discussion in private afterwards.
Hange:"Do you think she may be one of them we didn't know about?"
Levi:"Maybe, maybe not. She protected them instead of running away."
Hange:"True but..."
Levi:"We'll head back and let Erwin make the call. We're here to find the breach after joining up with them."
Hange:"Alright, I hope you're right about this."
Levi:"Yeah."
Ending their discussion, they ordered their force to return back to the top of the wall to regroup.
Any assumption of being in the clear was cut very short as two specific individuals revealed their identities soon thereafter....

An Indomitable's Odyssey
The story follows the journey of James Walter from a mortal to reaching the peak of power and the many trials and hardships faced by him to reach his goal. Note- This is a xianxia based story without psychopathic murderer/brainless Mc that we generally see in such novels as I find it very boring and clichéd. It is my take on the genre and I hope it will interest the readers to come back for more. The novel might contain mature content in future. More tags might also be added as the story progresses. The cover art has been done by MadelynBlack. She is a wonderful person and a fantastic artist. If you need help with your cover you may message her about it:)

Eater of Spirits
Story is abandoned. There will be no more updates on it. Jarod is kind of a loser, as it goes with these stories. A tear in his reality pulls him into another world, where he gains the ability to devour spirits, the locus of magic within the world. This is far from my first foray into fiction, but it is my first time posting anything to royal road, and first time writing LitRPG. This is an exercise in putting things out there, and just writing. That means that all of this is going to be a first draft, where edits may come sparsely if there is a glaring issue or something I think should be better. Thanks for reading!

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
