Tóm tắt

Mr. Bennet is the family patriarch. He is fond of his two eldest daughters—especially his favourite, Elizabeth—but takes a passive interest in the younger ones, ultimately failing to curb their childish instincts. An intelligent but eccentric and sarcastic man, he does not care for society’s conventions and mocks his wife’s obsession with finding suitable husbands for their daughters. As several scholars have noted, however, Mrs. Bennet is rightfully concerned. Because of an entail, the modest family estate is to be inherited by William Collins, Mr. Bennet’s nephew, who is the next male in line. Indeed, as Austen scholar Mary Evans noted, “If Mrs. Bennett is slightly crazy, then perhaps she is so because she perceives more clearly than her husband the possible fate of her five daughters if they do not marry.” Unfortunately, Mrs. Bennet’s fervour and indelicacy often work against her interests. A woman of little sense and much self-pity, she indulges her lively youngest daughters.

Measured In Minutes

10th Mountain Division, one of three divisions in the entirety of the Canto Empire's military known as the Rangers, is an elite unit that chose selectively from their infantry. And it was the consensus that out of the three divisions of Rangers, 10th Mountain was the best; every single one of their soldiers was fearless. And for a good reason, the Ranger motto was 'these things we do, so that others may live,' and every single one of their members took that seriously; in whatever major battle, they could be seen on the frontlines leading the charge. This led to the infamous joke that a Ranger's life could be measured in minutes; the average squad had a 68% fatality rate in their first year. An officer strode along the line of Rangers, his white square patch on his shoulder standing out on the black uniforms, identifying him as a captain. "Read! Ready!" the veins on the officer's neck stood up taut like whipcords as he screamed at the top of his lungs. Gyun's leg twitched in anticipation before he nodded to the captain; looking back at his squad; he tapped his helmet. "Check, check," pointing at the ropes attached to their waist; the ropes led to a nail that was driven into the ground. "Check" "Check" "Check" As all 9 of his squad members affirmed their equipment one last time, Gyun took a deep breath; feeling his sword, he took a step, peering down the cliff face to the Aegean Fortress below; it couldn't have been less than a 200-meter drop straight down to the ground outside the wall. Swallowing the fear in his throat, he stepped back, feeling his sword at his hip he gripped the handle tight. Glancing across the line of Ranger squadrons, the air was silent, and the sounds of nature permeated the silence, starkly contrasting to the captain's voice that had screamed at the top of his lungs just moments prior. The captain stood at the ledge, the rope coiled at his feet as he looked over the cliff face, pulling his sword from its sheath; in one hand his sword reflected the noon sunlight; in the other hand was the flag of 10th Mountain, a Mountain with a skull at the top, it symbolized the identity of the 10th Mountain; all eyes were on the captain's back, including Gyun's. "Helmets on!" With the sound of the helmets being pushed down, the line of scared faces of the rangers disappeared, replaced by faceless steel helmets with slits to peer through; Gyun shoved the helmet down over his head. The hot steel helmet was hot and stuffy and narrowed his view but it felt comforting to Gyun on some level, even though the helmet offered little in terms of protection from any sort of Qi-enhanced attack. "Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra!" The chant started with the captain, but soon the rest of the rangers followed; the shouts would attract the attention of the fortress spotters, but it was meant to. They were tasked with distracting and, if possible, taking the Southern Wall and opening the defensive fortress for the rest of the 2nd legion to assault the walls. "RAAANNNNNGGGEEERRRRSSS!!" The Captain screamed swinging the flag of the 10th Mountain. "Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra!" The chants echoed from the top of the cliff, A horn resounded from the fortress below, and shouts could be heard from below the cliff face as the fortress soldiers rushed to man defensive positions against the incoming attack. "WHAT DO WE DO?!" "WE WIN!!!" Taking a sharp inhale the captain turned back to the fortress below, "ON MY ORDER!!!!" "Ra! Ra! Ra!" The chants persisted; Gyun pounded his armored chest, chanting, taking deep breaths, trying not to show the cold sweat running down his back or the hairs standing up on the back of his neck. "GO!" The captain desperately swung the flag, Gyun's legs stopped bouncing in nervousness. Swallowing his fear, he sprinted before jumping off the cliff face; the wind whipped past him, his vision blurring, time seemed to slow, and Gyun could hear the blood pumping through his body.

The Legacy of Echros: Quest For Truth

"Legend of Echros:Quest for Truth" In a world steeped in ancient magic and shrouded in mystery, four tribes once thrived under the protection of their god, whose name was formed by their initials: E, C, H, and R. Each tribe held a prophecy of a child born with unique powers, destined to bring balance or destruction. However, these children never survived infancy, sacrificed by a secret community to appease their god. Centuries later, a group of children from the surviving tribes miraculously escaped the fate of their predecessors. Among them are Kieran and Aiden, brothers with a mysterious past, and Seraphine, a warrior with the ability to speak to the dead and wield powerful magic through her sword. They converge at an eerie, ancient school, unaware of each other's existence until fate draws them together. As they uncover the dark history of their ancestors and the secret society of Echros, they learn of their parents' betrayal and sacrifice for their survival. The discovery of an ancient book with a sword on its cover reveals their destiny to defeat the evil Echros, whose leaders wield various sinister abilities and have infiltrated the school, holding secret meetings in a hidden underground chamber. Their journey takes them to a modern city to solve ancient riddles, encountering a new ally, Caden, a mischievous and skilled fighter who can summon monstrous beasts to aid in battle. Despite their efforts, the powerful Azaroth, the second-in-command to the dark god, captures them and transports them to a parallel universe filled with darkness and horrific creatures. In this malevolent realm, the heroes face relentless challenges, struggling to survive and find a way back. They uncover the universe's grim history, built on endless suffering and enforced worship of the dark god. As they fight to free themselves and their world from this malevolence, they endure immense loss, including the death of their beloved Seraphine. However, their victory is fleeting as Azaroth regenerates and returns stronger, taking them captive. Years of torment follow as they labor under Azaroth's unyielding rule, devising plans to escape but constantly thwarted by his unmatched power. The dark god's influence grows, with many succumbing to his control. Amidst this darkness, Seraphine is revealed to be the daughter of Xerath, destined to replace him. Despite her resistance, she is subjected to spells that turn her against her friends. The heroes' bond is tested as they face betrayals, sacrifices, and the seemingly insurmountable power of their enemies. In the ultimate confrontation, they must confront Azaroth, now under orders to kill the one with the mark to strengthen the dark god. As the battles intensify, the heroes' resilience is pushed to its limits, with devastating losses and emotional struggles. The dark god's identity remains hidden, casting a shadow over their quest for freedom. In this epic tale of endurance, sacrifice, and the fight against overwhelming evil, the heroes' journey is fraught with endless battles and heart-wrenching losses. As they navigate the treacherous path to liberation, they discover that true power lies in unity, courage, and the indomitable spirit to resist the darkness.
