Chapter 1Glossary (Mild spoilers)

Beware of mild spoilers. ( But nothing too serious)

1. Thesos- A region inhabited by an ethnic group called Thesians. The region is littered with hundreds of various-sized city-states. The two most prominent and powerful ones are Cantagena and Exolas, who share no love for each other.

2. Cantagena- A city-state heading the Cantagenan alliance. Used to be the overlord of Thesos, before being officially overthrown by Exolas in the War of Flowers. Cultural and economical capital of the Thesian world.

3. Sycania- A mid-sized city-state famed in Thesos for possessing the finest cavalry.

3. Exolas- The current hegemon of Thesos and the leader of the Exolas alliance. A city-state that spends its time only going to war, preparing to go to war, or training for war. It's dependent on its sister states for most of its civilian needs like clothes, timber, metal, etc, and doesn't have an economy to speak of.

4. Adhania- Neighbours of the Exolas alliance to the east. Considered the strongest nation of the east, its relation with Exolas is surprisingly good. Supports and finances Exolas to suppress the Cantagenans.

5. Tibias- A rich, fertile peninsula, south of Adhania. Mortal enemies of Adhania, who covets its rich mines to the south and fertile banks to the east. Friend of convenience of Cantagena.

A Time Traveller's Guide to Feudal Japan

Do people chase greatness, or does greatness chase us? A.I. genius, Gengyo, through the assistance of SAPPHIRE attains the means to time travel. He seeks a simpler life, and wishes to experience the warmth of a family. But often we do not get what we want, we get what we deserve. And his peaceful times soon end, as war storms Japan, and in order to protect his peace, he must conquer. Join Gengyo as he walks a blood-stained path toward absolute domination, seizing control of Japan. //Brief extract from one of the battle scenes. Written from the point of view of a samurai landowner, Niwa Nakatane. The hooves grew closer to Nakatane's position and their beating hearts grew faster. Perhaps they could simply remain like that, hiding behind the tree, and allow these barbarians to pass? That way could they not return home to their families? Could they not give their dear wives one final kiss, or share one final story with their enthusiastic youth? Nakatane knew exactly what they were thinking. And as the ground rumbled, and the mounted beasts howled, he was the first man to step out from the trees and make his stand. "OORAH!" Possessed by a furious energy, he thrust out with all the aggression of a war god, puncturing Ochi's stallion through the chest with the sharpened wooden point of his lengthy spear. The mammoth fell from his mount clumsily, his head colliding with a nearby tree root. He ceased to move, and a pool of blood began to form around him. "ARM THESE SPEARS MEN! VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!" He stood in front of the charge of over 150 horsemen, alone. But he did not give a single inch of ground. He met the charge of the next man in line, roaring vengefully, possessed by all the rage and power that had accumulated in his body over these past years. The horsemen shrieked like a pack of hyenas, fanning out, each eager for a piece of the man who had brought down their leader. //I did not create the book cover.

Heavenly Wars

In the Shadow of Heaven: A Gripping Tale of Rebellion, Redemption, and Uncovering Truth In the dawn of creation, a celestial rebellion ignited, shattering the heavens and casting a shadow over humanity. Lucifer, once an angel bathed in divine light, led a legion of fallen beings in a defiant war against God. But their rebellion was not without consequence. Cast down to the depths, they vowed vengeance, their whispers of darkness forever poisoning the hearts of men. Generations passed, shrouded in a veil of ignorance. Humanity, corrupted by sin, wandered blindly towards oblivion. But amidst the darkness, whispers of hope arose. Prophets spoke of a coming Anointed One, a Messiah sent to vanquish the shadows and usher in a new dawn. His arrival, heralded by angels and marked by miracles, ignited a spark of faith in the hearts of the weary. Yet, the forces of darkness did not surrender. They tempted the Anointed One, tested his resolve, and unleashed the full fury of their malice. In a battle spanning realms unseen, the fate of humanity hung in the balance. The Anointed One, descending into the abyss to confront the fallen, fought not with earthly weapons, but with the unwavering power of faith and love. His victory reverberated through the heavens, shattering the chains of darkness. But the struggle for light was far from over. Deceptive whispers still slithered through the world, disguised as truth and masquerading as salvation. The path to redemption, illuminated by scripture yet obscured by doubt, demanded a journey of personal exploration and unwavering faith. Within the pages of this book lies not just a tale of epic battles and divine intervention, but a poignant exploration of humanity's eternal struggle against darkness. It is a call to arms, urging readers to embrace the transformative power of faith and step into the light, armed with the knowledge of truth and the unwavering conviction to claim the ultimate victory: salvation.

Machina Arcanis: Two Worlds Collided

Mecha. Magic. War. And the clash of two worlds. The Osten Empire, wielders of arcane sorcery, and the Dunkelheit Empire, masters of advanced mechs and mobile suits, have been locked in a brutal war for dominance. Their conflict rages across the stars — until a forbidden spell, the Light of Punishment, shatters the balance of power, sending both empires into chaos. Jack Squire, a veteran debris collector, expected another routine job in space. Instead, he finds himself caught in the crossfire of history’s most devastating battle, forced to navigate a war where magic defies logic, machines shape destiny, and survival is anything but guaranteed. Meanwhile, Queen Charlotte of Dunkelheit launches a ruthless invasion, seeking to crush Osten once and for all. Standing in her way is Ignius Lux Draconus, an arcane force of destruction, and Rhok Wagner, an elite Armatus pilot with a personal vendetta. As alliances shift and war machines clash against sorcery, a hidden force emerges — one that could rewrite the fate of both empires. What to Expect: Mecha – Stunning mecha designs, large-scale battles, and high-speed tactical warfare. Magic – An intricate arcane system that blends history, mysticism, and devastating power. Waifu (Well, not really, but now that I have your attention) – A cast of vibrant, uniquely designed characters, both male and female, bringing depth, charisma, and conflict to the battlefield. In a universe where machines and mages battle for supremacy, one question remains: Who will forge the future? --- (For fans of Code Geass, Fate/Zero, and Aldnoah.Zero.)
