Foreword:

Hello, I'm GameMaker8YT. The author of this light novel series. This is my first light novel and I apologize in advance for my inexperience. I hope you enjoy.








As everyone saw the village burning, everyone thought to themselves, how come I deserve to live? 


“Well, now that was quite a show, wasn’t it? Not quite as entertaining as I hoped, though” Jeremiah says.


“Soldiers, round up the rest of the girls chained to the fence, send them to the plantation, do with them as you desire, heh” Jeremiah says. “Well then, let’s get going now” Jeremiah says, “Sir what about the intruders?” a Wayne Soldier asks, “Leave them be, we have no business with them” Jeremiah says, “I’m killing them anyway” the Wayne Soldier says, Jeremiah pulls out a gun and shoots the soldier in the head, the soldier falls to the ground, with parts of the brain splatting on the ground.

The Wayne army leaves and Squad Petra sits there on the floor, with no words to say.

After 5 minutes have passed since the Wayne army left, everyone stood up, with no words to say, Leon was sitting there not standing up with the rest, “Hey, Leon, are you alright?” Brandon says, “Shut up… Shut the fuck up all of you!!!” Leon yells while crying, it almost seemed like his eyes were about to burst. 


Leon stops crying instantly, and he turns his head around and puts on a smile, “I’m okay-heh” Leon says, “Why the hell did all this happen? Why? Why did he have to kill so many women and children?” Wade says, “Damn him that bitch, he’ll pay for this” Brandon says, Amber stood there with no words to say, she’s still in shock, after seeing so many children being burned alive, there would probably be no reaction. 


Everyone starts walking toward the last carriage, Ash wraps his arms around Amber’s shoulder and moves her with him towards the carriage. “Does anyone here know how to drive a carriage?” Wade says, “I do” Brandon says.


Brandon gets on the carriage, and everyone moves away along the path heading towards Agami Headquarters. Everyone is on the carriage, not a word spoken, shadows covering the eyes. “Umm, so what are we going to do now?” Leon says.


“We’re heading back to headquarters, we need to report the mission with Akim was a failure” Wade says, “And how long will it take to get there?” Leon says, “About 16 hours” Wade says. 


2 hours later. 


Awkward silence is still flowing around the carriage, not a single conversation. Ash puts his hand on Amber’s head and starts to rub it, Amber starts to smile slightly, “Thank you, Ash” Amber says, Amber turns her head towards Ash, Amber leans on Ash’s shoulder, “Umm, you’re welcome” Ash says. “Get a room you two-heh” Leon says, “fuck off” Amber says. 


Everyone starts laughing, “Haha, haha, did Amber just say her first swear word?” Leon giggles, “I think she did” Wade says.


“It’s not like I never said them” Amber says, everyone starts laughing, except for Ash. Things return to normal, and everyone is talking like normal again. 


14 hours later.


Ash and Amber are sleeping together for the second time, Brandon barely staying awake, and Wade still awake and trying to be the leader, Leon is completely passed out. “Hey guys we’re here, it’s Agami headquarters” Wade says, “Hhuh- we’re here finally, can’t wait to see, what the Agami General got to say to us this time” Leon says.


“We’re going to get an earful, but maybe he understands that the King’s a fucking cuck” Brandon says, “...” Ash says.

“I wonder what our next mission if going to be” Leon says, “I hope it’s nothing too dangerous” Amber says. 


“Don’t worry we’ve got Ash on our side, he’s stronger than anyone after all his Codename is #016, Hey Ash! What happened to that bitch of a sister you have huh?” Leon says. 


“My sister is still the Captain of squad Armanda, she’s also the lieutenant and Lead General of the Military” Ash says, “I wonder if I’ll ever get into squad Armanda” Leon says, “Only the very best of soldiers can get into squad Armanda, you’d have to be at least a #015 codename, to even be considered” Brandon says.


“Everybody get off, we’re at the entrance” Wade says. 


Everyone proceeds to get off the carriage, “This place is as big as usual” Leon says, “Hey, wanna take a look around the market? We don’t have to pay taxes here, hehe” Leon says, “Fine I suppose we could take an hour or so off” Wade says, Brandon, Leon, and Amber all cheer simultaneously. 


“Woah, look at this Ash, it’s a real Arlert, they look so cute, I wonder if I can pet one” Amber says amusingly, “Feel free to pet one, please sanitize your hands before and afterwards” The Clerk says.


“So, this is the most popular place to buy creatures, “Arlert’s Aura”, the hell does it have such a nice name, for being a store that sells weaponized animals” Leon says, “Hey, Ash, I will finally get to pet an Arlert, hehe” Amber says as she proceeds to put her hand in the cage, she moves her hands carefully towards the Arlert and pets its back.


“Woooow, it’s so soft, It’s softer than a beaver pelt, ummm….” Amber says, Amber takes her hand out of the box, shadows covering her eyes, she turns around and faces Ash, everyone seems frightened.


“Hey…Ash…, Can I have one pleeeeassse? Please, please, they all look so cute, come on please, one Arlert only costs 15 dollars” Amber says, everyone relieved that it was just a simple fuss, “No, we need to spend this on stuff we need, and how are we supposed to take care of it” Ash says, “hmph” Amber says, while pouting.


“Hey! Look over here there’s a churro stand, anyone want some churros?” Brandon says, “Yes” everyone except Ash says in a serious tone. 


“Woah theses churros are hot, and why are they so long? Its not like it’s a dildo” Brandon says. Everyone starts eating their churro, everyone stares at Ash, “Hey Ash, why do you always eat your churros with chocolate?” Amber says, “It’s basically a rule that you have to eat it with caramel sauce, you know that right?...right?” Amber says.


“Rin from the Cadet corps gave me a churro once, and it came with chocolate so I ate it and, never bothered to change the chocolate for caramel sauce since” Ash says, Amber puts a pout face, “Who’s this Rin? I’ve never heard of her, hmmm” Amber says.


“Rin was my teammate for the duration of my Cadet Academy” Ash says, “Rin this, Rin that, all you keep saying is Rin, humph, if you like her name so much why don’t you marry her” Amber says in a moody manner.


“…” Ash says, “Never mind, just forget about it, I’'ll forgive you if… you give me a bite of your churro” Amber says quietly, Amber blushes while waiting for a response from Ash, Ash puts out his hand holding his Churro, “Here” Ash says, Amber turns her head around and says “Well, will you feed it to me?”. 


“Ok.” Ash says, Ash moves his churro towards Amber, it turns into an awkward situation, Amber takes a bite. 


Her face lightens up as the taste of the churro with chocolate, is delicious. “mmmmm, the chocolate on the churro is so goood” Amber says, “Do you want it?” Ash says, Amber grabs the churro from Ash’s hand, “Thank you, here have my churro” Amber says, “Ok.” Ash says.


Ash and Amber eat each other’s churro. Amber thinks to herself “Wait, did we just indirectly kiss? woah, I think we did, what do I do now?”.


Amber starts choking from the churro because of what she was thinking, “You okay Amber?” Leon says, “I’m fine” Amber says, “At least Ash started to show signs of affection…for me...i think” Amber thinks to herself. 


Everyone finishes their churro, “man I’m stuffed, I haven’t had something this tasty, before i crossed the border.” Leon says, “Why is your humor always so dark, you shouldn’t joke about that stuff” Amber says, “You know food is like dark humor, not everyone gets it” Leon says, Amber chuckles. “See, you find it funny too” Leon says, “No, I don’t” Amber says, while chuckling. 



“Yeah, yeah” Leon says. 


Everyone stands up, “Hey wade, what do we do now?” Brandon says, “We need to go the closest armory stand, we need to buy some ammunition” Wade says, “Can’t believe that fucking king won’t even supply us with ammunition” Leon says.


“The military does provide us with some ammunition per-mission, but if we use all of it and want to do extra side missions, we have to buy our own” Wade says, “Oh, but still the armory should be free of charge” Leon says, “Come on let’s go” Wade says.


As everyone got towards the last path, they need to get across to arrive at the armory, a squad starts coming along the path, everyone is gathering, seeing the horror of what happened to the squad coming back from a mission. 


“Woah, what the hell happened to these guys” Brandon says, “This must be Squad Aardvark, what the fuck happened during that mission” Wade says. All the soldiers from that squad are all terrible shape, there are dead corpses lying across the path, of those who couldn’t walk any longer, hostages taken in by the Squad, are all severely wounded, with fingers severed, their tongues stuck to their neck, one hostage even had his arms made into a necklace worn by himself, enemies who have gotten the breaking wheel all sit in front of the carriage. 


The soldiers of the squad all have shock and trauma in their eyes, one soldier keeps mumbling “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry” on and on. 


There is no point of return for these men, they have gone into a state of mental trauma their whole world is now one big delusion. The General of the Agami Headquarters comes towards Squad Aardvark, “Sir, I’m sorry, we couldn’t… complete the mission, but we did bring in a few hostages. 


There’s a chance… There’s a chance he’ll come” Carter says (Leader of squad Aardvark). The general slaps him in the face as hard as he could, Carter drops to the floor, with his hand against his cheek. The general starts kicking and spitting on Carter, as he didn’t complete what he was supposed to do. 


“Look at you, you disgrace of a human being, as of now your Squad is dissolved, I never want to see your fucking face, anywhere near this building, or any other military assets” the general says. Squad Aardvark leaves the carriage, in the middle of the path, and exit the Agami headquarters, the hostages are then shot in the head by the soldiers guarding the  Agami headquarters. 


“Man, I feel bad for them, the military’s reputation was definitely docked down, and it was done by one of the best squads in the military, sucks for them” Leon says, Wade thinks to himself “I wonder if that will happen to our squad, what if I don’t do a good enough job to lead us? What if I fail? Will it all amount to nothing?”.


“Come on! let’s go we need to report to the general” Wade says, everyone starts heading towards the main building, everyone is nervous, arms are shaking. What will the general say to them?
