The Way of Water

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.

RESUMEN: Dorlan de 21 años muere luego de estar en coma

Overlord Ares

“Hasta never signed up for this “Soul Project” the scientists were talking about. But here he was: very well alive. In a new body. On a new planet. Ares. Far from Earth. Far from everything he cared about! What year was it? Was his only family, his beloved sister alive? Did she transmigrate too? Did she die at the time? Did he die himself after all? Where was he, and how far from Earth? How much time passed? Who? How? Why? His heart rate was constantly spiking, and a few doctors approached the unsealed glass room. One of them bent over the bed to look at his facial features with strange instruments. "He is conscious," he whispered. But even though his voice was very low, his two female coworkers turned around in complete sync. "Conscious?" "Let me see." They started osculating him maniacally like he was a bizarre but very precious specimen. He did not feel their touch on him, as his skin seemed entirely anesthetized. But their behavior made Hasta even sicker and more frantic. Instinctual fear and anger were growing in his mind. He felt this urge to break all their skulls on something. He wanted to scream, struggle, break jail, and return to Earth. His place was not there! However, no matter how much he tried, he could not move an inch. He felt so powerless he was crying in feeling, but no tears were dropped, no muscles twitched. He was trapped inside a dormant body. He despaired for a long time into excruciating ignorance and disorientation. Every second became an eternity. After three days, he finally started to calm down. He became more introspective et started to remember his unsatisfactory death and his regrets too. He wondered: could this nightmarish rebirth be a benediction in disguise?"
