Calixte ArcIt felt like months since I was last in the air, but if my calendar is right, then it was hardly more than a couple of weeks. It would be my first time flying, but we weren't being sent out to engage with the New Siberian forces. That would come later, Agent Caron informed me. I asked the general if I could fly and he obliged me.I didn't want to go out with anyone else, much less my team. Not right now. I wanted to be alone to enjoy the open sky and try to relax. Bian and Alphonse had been called away, so I wouldn't have to deal with them. Rolo was out doing patrols in the captured territory. Many of the locals even looked at us as liberators, so it wasn't a hard job from what I hear. Sasha was using some of her leave time, so she wasn't even on base.I thought I had covered everything, but it turns out I forgot two important people. Well, Mireille doesn't fly, so I never considered trying to get around her, and that was a mistake on my part. The general didn't let me tak

Euphemia Arc"I agree that Corai has the most to gain, but wouldn't it be possible that another power is intervening?" I asked, leaning across the table. "They would assume we would blame Corai.""They would assume correctly, but Corai hopes that we turn our attention elsewhere. That we start looking for other enemies to blame. This has Corai written all over it and I would be willing to bet my life that they're responsible.""You don't have any proof though.""No. Until we investigate and get that proof, I'm afraid this is all speculation. As I said, I would bet my life, and my career, that this is Corai. And that is why you called for this meeting, is it not? Perhaps not to ask for my help, but demand it as the viceroy? Command it as a princess."She got me. "Your record speaks for itself. I'm very impressed. You've been able to root out insurgent and resistance groups across the empire. You've become pretty famous for it.""My skill set goes beyond rooting out rats," Rachel Edgecom

Sci-Fi Isekai Preview
The last preview I will be doing. For a completely different isekaiChapter INew York TimesMay 17th, 2024As of the beginning of 2020, coming out of a glob health crisis the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1919, the world reached an estimated population of 30 billion people. The population increase began in 1989, when the alien ship broke apart over the United States of America and the Soviet Union, raining down pieces on both countries.The result of a failed colonization effort on behalf of a species that we do not even know the name of. Every one of them perished in the crash. From what we have recovered and translated, this species believed the Earth was uninhabited and was going to settle here.The alien ship was over 200 years more advanced than we were. Not only did it jump-start the economy of the two superpowers, medical and agricultural science jumped forwards by leaps and bounds. However, a population of 30 billion people is simply unsust

Sci-Fi Isekai Preview Part 2
I know I said only one chapter and I didn't mean to lie. This was originally a part of chapter one, but the chapter was getting too long, so I divided it up. I will only be posting part one and two of chapter one.Chapter I Part Two"Are you feeling alright?" Riley asked. If she didn't have to watch the road while we pulled into the city, I was sure she would be looking at me.Was I okay? No. Someone I ended up in a stranger's car, getting teleported from my apartment. Not just around the corner or even on the other side of the state, but a whole new country. A country that I've never heard of. Acadia was a French colony, as far as I was aware. A colony that hadn't existed since the eighteen hundreds."I don't know," I admitted, watching the road. "What's Acadia?""... The United Republics of Acadia, Eryn. It's the country we live in.""Where is that?""What do you mean?""What continent are we on?""West Artemis.""There's no continent called Artemis." Much less one with a direct at

Interlude: Court Painter
Interlude: Court PainterAdolph Hitler was not having a good day. Which wasn't unusual, considering his occupation. Granted, his occupation paid the bills and they paid very well. Being the personal painter of Empress Louise would do that. His wallet and his bank account were stuffed full. For the first time in his life, his wallet was fat. Very fat.Not only did he live in the capital of one of the most powerful empires on the planet. It controlled lands all over the world, and on every continent. The apartment he could afford because of her patronage was a penthouse, one of the largest in the city. It was in one of the tallest buildings in the city and even overlooked the palace walls. Coming up from his small little Austrian town, this was more than Adolph could have ever dreamed of.He made more than enough to move his family out of Prussia. That was something he had to do. He didn't have a choice. The State Socialist Party had taken over the country and if they found out that he

Euphemia ArcTrue to her word, Rachel Edgecombe began work right away. Some might say she began work too soon. Right after we concluded our arrangement, she asked for a car. "You need a car?""To take me to where ever your intelligence forces have set up. Once I assume command of the operation, I will arrange for my own transportation, but when I answered your call, I wasn't aware that I would be staying for the long term. Arranges will have to be made."I called a car for her and Rachel Edgecombe went on her way. I sighed the documents allowing her guards and the rest of her staff access to the colony. Godfrey came in when Rachel left, closing the door behind him. I finished signing the documents and uploaded the new orders."I don't trust her.""You're a naturally suspicious man." In his line of work, that was important. If you were assigned to guard someone, you would have to be suspicious.Godfrey eyed the door as if he could still see Rachel Edgecombe walking through it. "She has

Calixte
Calixte ArcIt was her. I was sure of it. That voice was burned into my mind. I would remember it until the day I die. The fighter that almost killed me. She wasn't a born Florentinian, but a mercenary. An Irish mercenary if our information was correct. Emer Gallagher was hands down the best pilot that I had ever had the misfortune of meeting in open-air combat."Hello again, Prince Calixte!" Emer said cheerfully. I didn't know if the Irish were called Irish in the world, Britain was named Britannia, but she spoke with a thick Irish accent. It was the kind of accent that would have had me on my knees in my last life, but with that voice, it only struck fear in my heart.Emer Gallagher almost killed me the last time we met. If the war hadn't ended and she hadn't been forced to withdraw, she would have shot me out of the sky. "Ms. Gallagher."She turned her plane and started firing. My warplane would have been torn to shreds if my shields hadn't flared to life. I knew she was hiding man

Calixte ArcI wanted to keep her talking, but it was going difficult Emer Gallagher trying to kill me. I knew from my time in Morocco that she was far too skilled in air combat to take things lightly on her. She appeared through one of the fluffy white clouds, directly on my left. I turned my controller down and my plane sailed below her bullets. Some of them were glowing like a rainbow, but they were drowned out in a wave of bullets."What's wrong, Prince Calixte?" Emer called over the radio. It sounded like she was giggling and that made my blood boil. She was laughing at me, that bitch. "Where are you going? Don't leave, we're just starting to dance!"She angled her plane down and my shields flared to protect me from the rail of bullets. I pumped my mana into the front of the shields, counting on my high reserves to get me through. Then I turned my plane upwards, her bullets deflecting harmlessly off my shields. Though as each bullet made contact, a small amount of my mana was ripp

Calixte ArcMy shields flared to life as her gunfire struck me. However, unlike before, when she entered the cloud, she didn't know where I was. So when my shields came to life, I changed the system from the A1 over to the main system and unleashed the enchanted forest.Three enchanted bullets later and her shields had shattered. Emer seemed to know how vulnerable she was because she tried to flee. It was too late, however, as I had my sights on her. She was beautiful and I hated what I had to die, I didn't enjoy killing, but she was going down. Two more enchanted bullets and her engine were blown out.Surprisingly, Emer was laughing over the radio as she fell through the air. "You've gotten a little better, princeling. Not too much, but a little."I snorted, turning my transmitter on. "I'm sorry, would you remind me who doesn't have their engines?" As she fell through the air, I turned my plane down after her."Okay, you have me there." She was laughing. Still laughing. It pissed me

Euphemia
Euphemia Arc"You couldn't have found... Someplace bigger?" my mother asked. The room was bigger than some of the apartment suites in the city, but of course, she wanted something bigger. I shouldn't be surprised, she was an empress."I'm sorry, mother, this is the biggest guest room we have," I told her. One of my Imperial Guards shook his head and while I agreed with him, this wasn't the place to shake his head. So I glared at him and when he caught sight of my look, he looked away.My mother sighed. "Yes, well... I suppose I must make do.""Empress Louis, the room you were given at Victoria's estate was smaller than this," Adolph Hitler spoke quietly. "Perhaps-""Victoria's so-called estate used to belong to the Roslachnian communist scum," my mother cut him off. She didn't even bother looking at him. "She had to make do with what she had. This is different.""It was built by the Egyptians?" Adolph Hitler offered. I smiled at the man, it was kind of him to try, but my mother's temp
