Dear Gamer: Let's Seek Each Other Out

I'm still present and accounted for.

So it was settled. That we were all gonna do this. Hopefully, it would end well for all of us. Hopefully...

XXX

"Alright..."

Preparation's completed. Or so...

It wasn't anything very significant anyway. Alan already had most of the gadgets that he needed: a laptop, an iPad, an iPhone, a mobile WiFi router and a bunch of wires for connections. Hardware stuff, he already had all of it at his house. Software, just a little bit of online orderings and he's good to go. He might need a gun for self-defense, so he bought a PPK, since it was light and has low recoil, perfect for a man like Alan.

Departing his house, Alan devised in mind the quick route to Ally's house, where the group was supposed to rendezvous there.

Let's see...

There were many routes there, despite not very far from his house. Generally, there were three main routes, the one through the beach, the one through downtown and the one passing through the railway station.

The beach, as he knew it, were full of thugs and bandits who were eyeing on tourists, and it was an open space, so it wasn't a good choice, especially when he was carrying so many expensive things inside of him. Furthermore, the beach route was longer than the other two, so that was crossed out obviously.

The train station...it was not a bad choice, due to the tighter security there. But since it was always crowded could hamper the security's vision, thus, allowing robbers and pickpockets to act freely. But there were roads that connected the train station to downtown, and many had shopping malls and hotels that also had there own respective security.

Downtown...again, it was not a bad choice, but security were loose. However, it was the shortest route, since Ally's home was nearby. But the chance of actually getting there without getting into trouble was much higher.

Alan made his mind almost immediately. The train station route was his best bet. There were many possible approaches to downtown, and his most viable was taking shortcuts through the shopping malls and buildings, where their respective security guards might be of help to him.

XXX

The trip was miraculously uneventful. Whether that was due to luck or Alan's proper planning was not known, perhaps somewhere in between. Still, he was fairly late, due to the fact that he was walking instead of driving. An old schooled kind of guy, but it gave him enough exercises he needed to compensate his sedentary lifestyle.

"My apologies." Alan said as he walked in, taking off his shoes, placed his backpack full of computer equipment onto the table, and unpacked it. Noticing that he wasn't bringing or wearing any sort of costume or uniform, and some were looking at him a bit for it, Alan simply replied.

"What, this is my costume. I don't need combat effective clothing. This is my most comfortable attire. Now let's get to work"

So there's no return...

There's no way out of here. You cannot transport your consciousness, your soul out of this place. Even death wouldn't help, since you would just be revived. It's an endless loop.

Hans wondered if this really was his wish, to live another life for an eternity? This surely wasn't what he had in mind. Still, it was not bad, comparing to his former world. And the fact that he would be working together with a team made it easier. In theory, of course.

A small girl with ears soon handed Hans and the others a stone tablet that appeared to be quite old for his time, but befitting for the age. The setting of the town was pretty medieval after all.

Or not...

The tablet that appeared to be entirely ancient, suddenly glowed blue in light. And within it were data and charts of Hans himself, along with a very large number in the center, as according to Willow, indicating the team that he would be joining with. What sort of world is this? An uncomprehensive mix between technology and fantasy. Hans was more and more convinced that this was an RPG game rather than a normal world for living beings to spend their lives in. Also the fact that he also had parents here. Honestly, the mix did not go on well with each other, that it just didn't make sense.

Oh well, not the time to delve onto that. Let's see who is on his team.

Hans need not to go investigate, as one already spoke out: A black haired boy with a notable scar in his right eye. He was in team two, the same as Hans over here. The dragoon, or he was labelled so by the stone tablet, turned his tablet containing the number to the guy, saying.

"It appears that we are on the same boat. You seem competent. My name is Hans Joachim, you are?"

ACION

AURELIA

Acion listened to Kenichi's hush as he chuckled and replied.

"I want them to know their place in this world, where they belong: A pathetic bum. And if they are not going to figure it out by themselves, then your so called 'high-and-mightiest' will be of use. They will not be able to do any harm to us, because the teachers are coming to us soon. It's all in my calculation."

The moment he finished that sentence, he suddenly felt his own body weighing less and less on the ground, as he was lifted of all gravitational effects upon him. And in front of his eyes, the principal, who had given his class reviews on the previous combat session, bursted through the door, the countenance on his face a stark contrast to his expressions back in class. And it was not just himself who was lifted into the air, all the other students, including Roy, Kenichi, suffered the same fate.

Acion was surprised by the sudden entrance, but he wasn't in the position to be caught off-guard. He knew his sister would pull someone like the principal to deal with the situation. She was Komei's graduates after all. She knew everything around.

The winged boy had no problem stabilizing himself mid-air, but he figured that resisting would be an ill choice, especially the one standing in front of him was the Gravity Yarl. So he simply watched his rant and orders, as he let the group of students down afterwards. Acion had been expecting this. There's no way he would let things go unpunished. Somebody would be called, sooner or later.

Acion simply didn't care about it. This was too pointless for him to squander his attention any further. He didn't have much to do with it, aside from the small fact that he did try to provoke them at the end. He did admit getting a little bit carried away by the time, but part of it was justified. They deserved those words thrown at them. If he was called for it, his sister and Roy would be able to back him up, since he participated in resolving it. If he said anything about insulting, just admit it. If he committed wrongdoings, then why should he cover it? It wasn't too serious. He still had to learn.

Shaking his head as he moved past the cafeteria entrance, he was met with her sister, who was rushing back here in a hurry.

"Dear...Acion, are you alright?"

"I'm ok. At least it did not escalate into a full on fight that is."

"Geez, you worried me."

"You are the one who insist me on going there sister."

"No I did not! Well, I'm glad you are fine. So what are you going to do now?"

"Elective class. It's Hero Gear. Something I think is necessary for my destiny."

Aurelia's face frowned. However, she was in no position to be surprised over it. He's always that way.

"Well, get yourself a go now. I'll be departing soon." She said.

"Wait, so you're leaving now?"

The Sky Defender, or Acion's dearest sister, simply smiled lightly at her brother's clueless expression. He clearly didn't want her to go.

"I have to. The sky needs my wings."

Seeing that he was being much less of a foolish religious follower and a god role player, more of a little brother who desired more than anything to spend times with his family really worth a smile. She returned his expression with a touch of palms.

"I'll not be far away anymore, Acion. Believe me. You can assure yourself that I will be above you. Always. Keep that in mind, train hard, and one day you'll be a true Sky Knight. Perhaps...the Sky Interceptor maybe?" She giggled at the reference that she made herself. Boy she really loved that series.

"A Sky Knight..." Acion gave a thought on that. It wasn't what he thought God would bestow upon him. But still, being a Sky Knight...it wasn't so bad. All in all it was still a heroes group, doing heroic deeds. And besides...

"I'll keep that in mind. He replied. "But my name won't be Sky Interceptor. It is and will always be Arch Angel."

Oh god...

Perhaps he should fix that above everything else before he could be admitted into Sky Knight

"I get it... She said with a deep sigh. "Well, I'll see you around...little bro." After finishing that, she turned to walk out of the cafeteria, her pace quickened, but not before Acion said his own goodbye, with a smile, and a hand wave.

'We'll meet again soon, right?'

He left the cafeteria with that in mind.

'Now what's next? Hero Gear? Let's embark.'

With the box of armor he picked up earlier after the principal's rage, he paced out of the cafeteria as well, getting himself ready for the next class.

Hans Joachim

Hans simply watched everything unravel in silence, paying specific close attention to Willow's explanation. And above else, he came to witness how some of these people here couldn't really accept their fate. On the other hand, Hans was more tolerant to such explanation. Who can say why, but his memories are not lost so easily, unlike so many others here. He didn't even need to see the video tape depicting his demise to be reminded of it.

Hans also remained out of the commotions. There was no need to remain in it. He was too violent and aggressive to argue with logically. Instead, he simply contemplated on what was going on. This place, this world, according to Willow, was simply a huge RPG game, but with less computers and stuff. And to the legends of that 'thing' he saw before dying, this was a place where his inner most desire were fulfilled. A place where all was possible. True for most part. He did wish for another life, but not really this way.

The boy checked his sword and knife. So this was a real thing. Assuming everything Willow said was the truth, he would have to work himself to not die here. Well, death is as light as a feather now, but it's better to not die. But was he going to do it alone or with a team. That was the only question lingering in his mind now.

"Allow me to inquire. He addressed Willow. "Are we doing this, all of this, by ourselves or with a group?"

An ominous presence had filled his soul.

It existed in every people’s mind, yet only a few managed to witness its magnificence.

Legends said that only those shuddered by the current of time could see it. Those poor souls that were left in angst as blood and pain consumed them.

It is a promise of freedom

A glimpse of new world

A light stretching into oblivion

A shadow within mortal hearts

And once its sight met the eyes, one wish, deep within their souls, was fulfilled. One that brought them in front of its powerful presence.

Life…

“Hmmgghh-uuaahh”

Hans’s head wasn’t in its good state as he groaned. There were things that were amissed in his memories. It took him a few minutes to find it back. As his senses began to come online, once more, when he thought it never would, so was his memories.

’Oh yeah…’

The boy instantly shot his hand up, reaching for his nape. It was in contact with the ground, and in one piece. Apparently, he was lying on the ground, judging by the pressure applying on his back. The sun was radiating into his pale skin, the birds chirping, the wind blowing through each of his hair strands, as an ease and gentle way to wake up the young boy. His hearings became more and more clearly, and then his muscles began to move. The sound of people talking, the smell of lilacs somewhere around him. And then finally, Hans’s eyes shot open. To see the new world for the first time

”Hmmggh…is this my city?…No…”

He was still confused. Glancing around, to his surprise, he came to realize that some of the people around him weren’t human. There was a centaur of some kind, an elve, and even a birdman. Well, there were still humans in this place, but who knows if behind those human masks were some kind of angels, demons, wyverns or goats. Both physically and mentally.

Hans immediately checked himself, to see if he’d turned to some sort of wolfman or anything of the sort. It did not appear to apply to him, thankfully. And it appeared that he was given quite some items. A sword, a knife and armor. A voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. A woman introduced herself as Willow, and invited him, and those around him who were as baffled as he did to some sort of picnic table. She also mentioned guild. Is this some sort of RPG game? But it did not really make sense. He remembered almost everything, everything up until the point when he saw that ominous thing. He remembered the split second when his neck snapped. He remembered that he…died. Then was this all a dream? Well, he’d find out soon.

As he ventured inside, he was met by that birdman he saw earlier, asking his thoughts on the subject.

”This? It was not bad, but I require an explanation. A clear one.”

Totally better than something like a prison or a claustrophobic room. That was usually the case when you wake up in an unfamiliar place, as seen in some movies. But they had a point when they said not to believe things like that.

Hans approached the table with some beverages offered to him. There weren’t anything in particular that did not suit his taste here, or in general, being the athlete he was. The only exception would be alcoholic drinks. The boy picked up the nearest drink there, which was green tea, while he tried to discover new functions of his new body. For some reasons, in his mind existed a new knowledge, a spell. Known to him as a speed enhancing spell, or simply by the self-explanatory name: ‘Overboost’. How convenient, given how he was already much faster than his peers back then. If this was some sort of game, then this might be his biggest strength.

I was a bit focused on making deductions on enemy movements, so if there is anything that I misunderstood, please tell me.

Also, about the Royal Knight. Sorry I did not write about them, but I don't see them having much of significance in the resistance so I left it out. Probably for the next post.

Battle of the Maw

Alexander Myerscough

"Be brave men..."

Lord William of Acity was busy doing two things at the same time: maintaining morale within the cavalries and keep watch on the advancing horsemen. They were auxiliaries troops, but they were indeed very courageous and fierce. But that was just something they put up initially. The question whether or not they would flee from the battlefield was yet to be answered. The same could be said for his own men. The light cavalries were mercenaries, not soldiers. So even if King Alexander did make a motivational speech, its effectiveness was questionable.

"Keep it steady lads. Bend if you must but never breaks! And keep on watching our allies on our flanks!"

As the Zathii's cavalry attacked in place, the Lord, Alexander and the entire light cavalry units began to brace for the seemingly immenent impact of their cavalry charge. But in reality, they simply turned away and threw their javelins at the Allied cavalry.

Such a cheap and poor tactic...

It appeared that they weren't intending to attack head on. Or rather, their abilities to retaliate was reduced when engaged closely. They had the momentum to charge and try to rout the Allied cavalry, but did not. That was their mistake. A small, seemingly invisible mistake. But they weren't fooling anyone. The young yet talented king, Alexander Myerscough, had seen it.

Still, the javelin barrages were brutal. The main difference was that they weren't arrows. Arrows were weak against Acity's armor, but javelins were not. They had more penetration value, and could punch through even the toughest armor if landed at a correct angle. A few of the Acity's cavalries were killed in the process, some horses were knocked dead, but thankfully, the entire body still retained its stability and combat capability, although with slightly dropped morale.

Alexander was miraculously unharmed due to the fact that several soldiers were shielding him from the javelin barrage. He watched as the Zathii turned their horses away as if they were forming a circle, and that the Uruks were beginning their engagement, by engaging them in a similar fashion, but with some melee fighting.

The battle plan was drawn inside his head. The Acity cavalries were sitting idly behind all the time until now. The Uruks and Zathii were not far away from them. The Zathii were still running around in circles on their horses, having finished nearly half of the circle. The Zathii cavalries, as observed, apparently did not have good experience with close quarter combat. So if he could intercept them directly and closely, not only they would have to fight against both sides' cavalries, but also their javelin's effectiveness would be reduced considerably. The light cavalries may be mercenaries, but not any chumps who just enlisted. They must have had at least somewhat experience handling with this, so comparing them with the rest of those Zathii, they were a perfect match for each other.

The King made his plan. He will counter-charge them before they begin to make their turn towards him, cut their formation into two, and combine with the Uruks to mop up one side of the disorganized formation. They were moving pretty quickly, so if he was intending to take this on them, he would have to attack immediately. In moments like this, perfect timing are a must.

"Lord William!" He called

"Yes your highness?!"

"Head to where our horse archers are standing, and summon them here at once. Our allies will need every possible support they can get!"

"Yes your highness!"

With this, William rode away from the ranks. All of a sudden, Alexander quickly unsheathed his sword, as he shouted loudly from his horse.

"Soldiers! Fortune has brought all of us today to fight alongside me today, the conqueror of the Northern empire! You have the great honor of showing me what you can do!"

Alexander waited for a few seconds, before continuing.

"Swords out!"

The entire squad complied. The unsheathing sound echoed valiantly into the eternal blue sky. With one long, loud and clear voice, the king of conquerors shouted.

"CHARGE!!!"

That sudden, the entire cavalry regiment began to move. From simple trots, to fast canters and then until the gallops of 600 hooves thundered across the battlefield. The Acity's cavalry was heading dead straight for the center of the Zathii's cavalry. If they managed to hit, a rout in that center was totally within reach

ACION

Acion was silently watching the scene unravel in front of him after he answered Roy, as his internal temperature meter began to gradually increase. And yet, he showed no sign of anger, irritation, nor hatred. A very light but condescending smile soon appeared on his face.

'What a joke...'

The sooner his smile appeared, the quickly it was to disappear.

'Who are these people to make such prejudice?'

Especially about his class. Including him...

Finally, when they finally mentioned what they spouted justice, Acion finally snapped, but not before laughing loudly and maniacally in front of everyone. He was initially not trying to provoke either sides, but he did not hesitate to abandon that now.

"Hahaha! That just maybe so."

His laughter soon died down to mere giggling as he addressed the purple haired girl who approached Kenichi.

"I am surprised with your detective skills to find out those poor records about us, despite only having attended class half a day. I don't even know some of it. And I would even agree with you to some extent there. I can tell you even more. One of my classmates dropped a crane onto someone during training. We are all trouble makers!"

Acion laughed out again...before suddenly stopped, in a way so out of the blue that some students could feel their inner temperature dropped, as he continued in a manner so different from his previous that one could dictate that there were two different people, all in the same body.

"But who are you to mock that aspect of ours? Perhaps we too are delinquents but tell me - how is this different from you and your 'friends' here? Those that according to the 'Frenchman Junior', this white chump called an apologetic person a 'tard'. And trust me, my hearings are second-to-none. Also the fact that you are threatening this 'main character' does not justify your words at all."

"Justice? Humph!" Acion scoffed arrogantly. "One born so pathetic as you could scarcely understand what is justice. Picking a fight over some bickering pointlessness. You are even sadder than the tale of Icarus."

Acion approached both her and Kenichi, along with those who were in class A-1 who were either involved in this or were simply watching it from afar, turning his back against the A-2's class president.

"And I believe you are mistaken. The only reason possible that we would refuse your challenge..." His head suddenly turned sideways, glaring at the entire A-2's body, especially the girl excruciatingly, yet his voice was calm and smooth. "...is because you are too infantile and feeble to expect anything from."

With this, he slowly walked away from the crowd, gesturing as many A-1 students as he could to follow him. Away from trouble, and more importantly, away from that troublesome class.
