Heroes to Hunted

[The chapters are typically somewhat long for a webnovel (2000+ words) and the pacing is slow (sometimes overly so and I'm working on that). Only proceed if you like a slow burning but well fleshed out story with side characters that are more than just side-pieces to the MC. I explore them just as much as I do him.] "There are no heroes in war, only monsters." This was an outlook that Sato Katsuro, a man in service to the military, formed after being broken down by years of gore-filled battle. It was an outlook he took even to his grave, but what about beyond it? Transmigrated into a new land of fantasy and tasked to be the very thing he'd given up on becoming, Sato would have to fight a new war. A war between mankind and an oppressive enemy regime run by a cohort of demons. But, as Sato learned in his past, war wasn't always what it seemed. In war, truths were lies, friends were enemies, and the so-called heroes...they were often the villains. Additional Tags: Dark, realistic fantasy

The Fight Outside, Part Five

A dozen rock spears shot diagonally outward. They surrounded Lilia with her as the acting midpoint. Each spike traveled with whirlwind-high speed and pinpoint precision.

"You're pitiful!" Lilia scoffed while she made a vast leap backward.

The impaling spikes shattered into one another as she zipped through the air. They crumbled into large chunks of stone and dust.

"You think such a thing would defea-" Lilia started with confidence, but her inexperience would be her downfall. Though she was undoubtedly a formidable opponent, her naive arrogance and failure to plan ahead left her vulnerable to consecutive strikes.

When she landed, I'd already hoisted my shield upward on a rock pedestal, and its runes activated.

A flurry of stone shards ejected from the shield while it drew replacement stone in from the earth. What looked like a gray mist of razor-sharp rock filled the space between Lilia and me.
