《Dropped》 A Skirmish Interrupted [EVA: Alert! Multiple projectiles inbound! Recommend evasive maneuvers Captain.] "Ho. All those ''Surface to Space'' weapons just for me? I feel honored. Execute maneuver ''Delta Sigma ''" Not wasting a second, I gave the order to my crew to evade the incoming projectiles. [EVA: All projectiles missed. What is your next move Captain?] A very cruel idea suddenly came to me and I grinned evilly. "Let¡¯s send something of the same magnitude back in kind. Fire all ''Archer'' missiles and ''MAC'' guns at their ''Surface to Space'' platforms" [EVA: Affirmative. Spinning up ''MAC'' guns. ''Archer Missiles'' away Captain. ETA to impact. 20 seconds.] [EVA: Impact. Enemy ¡®Surface to Space¡¯ weapons destroyed. WARNING! Ships system is being hacked! NYTO TOOK DOWN THE SHIELD AND ENGINE! MISSILE LAUNCH DETECTED INBOUND FROM ANTARCTICA! IMPACT IMMINENT!] I began sweating as I realized I took the bait and now my ship is defenseless with a ship killer missile fast approaching. I open up a ship wide broadcast and did the only thing logical that a captain would do. ¡°Attention all ship personnel. Proceed to Sub-Vessel Bays for emergency ship scuttle. Missiles imminent. PREPARE FOR IMPACT!¡± It was sudden but I could feel the impact from the ¡®Command Deck¡¯. The lights throughout the ship dimmed to red indicating the core power is knocked out. ¡°EVA, Damage report!¡± [EVA: The missile hit the lower ¡®Sublight Engine¡¯. The electrical shockwave overloaded the fusion core in the ¡®Engine Room¡¯ Repairs are needed.] After hearing the report I let out a sigh of relief. The damage to the ship isn¡¯t critical as long as the fusion core gets repaired, the ship will be combat ready again. [EVA: Alert! Detecting unknown anomaly.]This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°What? Hey¡­. What the hell is this weird circle formation under me?" It suddenly dawned to me that I¡¯ve seen this before from books I¡¯ve been reading during my free time. ¡°OH, YOU GOT TO ME KIDDING ME!¡± Was I all could manage to get out of my system before a bright white light completely blinded my vision. The ship became silent as the entire ship crews was dumbfounded when their captain disappeared before their very eyes. Eva decided it was best at the sudden absence of the Captain to assume command. [EVA: Alert! Ship¡¯s power offline. Unable to power oxygen module. Please reboot all systems in ¡®Engine Room¡¯. WARNING! Automated Emergency Fire protocol offline. Alert! Field Generators are offline! Alert! Gravitational Boosters offline! Alert! Primary and Secondary weapons systems are offline! WARNING! Fire detected in ¡®War Games¡¯ room on deck 50. Firefighting personnel please respond. Alert! Fusion core exposed. Hazmat crew please respond to ¡®Engine 2¡¯ in ¡®Engine Room¡¯ Alert! ¡®Engine 1¡¯ Fusion Core depleted! WARNING!

Error! Emergency power failed! WARNING! Co2 build up detected in deck 1-40! [Attention all ships personnel. The use of emergency oxygen mask has been authorized.] [Alert! Lockdown in place. All non-essential personnel, please remain calm and do not leave your quarters.] After EVA broadcasted the current state of the ship to the entire crew, she opened a direct communication link to the ¡®Captains Quarter¡¯ [EVA: Captain, your presence is required on the ¡®Command Deck¡¯. I hope you didn¡¯t press that ¡®Recall¡¯ button as a prank.] After some time EVA became worried as her Captain did not reply back to her. She decided to activate his biodata tracker. [EVA: Locating Captains bio-data¡­ ERROR! Unable to pinpoint location.] It soon became apparent to her that her Captains disappearance had to do with the white light that enveloped around him. EVA did another scan as a precaution in case one of her programming was malfunctioning. [EVA: ¡­. Unable to detect Captain¡¯s presence within the ship.] [EVA: Attention all personnel! Captain is MIA. I repeat, Captain is MIA!] [EVA: Attention all military personnel! In the absence of the Captain, I am executing my authority to place the entire ships status to ¡®Code Red¡¯.] After she publicly announced that the ship is under ¡®Code Red¡¯, the same white light enveloped around the ship and all the crew members within it. Chapter 1: An Unfortunate Start When I came to, I found myself surrounded in an empty white space filled with other people. Like me, they were confused as to what is happening. I decided to collect myself to figure out ¡®when¡¯ or ¡®where¡¯ ¡®here¡¯ is. Sorting through my memories, I know for a fact I was in my ¡®Command Deck¡¯ of the ¡®Eternity¡¯, my personal super carrier. The last thing I remember was EVA giving me her damage report and the report of an ¡®unknown anomaly¡¯ that was sudden picked up somewhere in the deck. Wait. Could it be that the weird formation that I was standing on was the trigger that caused the white light to envelope me? As I continued to ponder, I completely forgot that the crowd directed their attention to some guys up in the front. ¡°No, I couldn¡¯t be dead. This is definitely a mass summoning, so it is safe to assume everyone here is alive at the time of being transported.¡± ¡°Well you are correct about not being dead and indeed this is a ¡®Mass Summoning¡¯.¡± A voice suddenly came up behind me which made me jump. ¡°HOLY SHIT!¡± The person who crept behind me let out a giggle. ¡°Well, that was not what I expected but it did give me a good laugh. Now then.¡± Her expression changed as fast as I can say ¡®loli¡¯. ¡°There should be 100 summoned ¡®Avatars¡¯ and you make 101.¡± Her face intruded my personal space as if she¡¯s looking for something on me. Now that I think about it, this girl donned an extravagant attire that appeared to be a mix of Greek and Norse origin. She wasn¡¯t tall nor was she short. She is roughly the same height as my starter aide which is 5¡¯9. One major difference is that the girl standing before me is of peerless beauty. There is not one speck of imperfection on her body and her skin emits a glossy hue which made her look like she¡¯s glowing. The girl has a killer model body that can entrance many men and to top it off she also has a perfect C-cup breast hidden underneath that cloth. What makes her dazzling is her blonde Knotted Headband Hairstyle and the headdress on it.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°I don¡¯t sense any blessed powers from you. How odd.¡± She looked behind her and when I looked in the direction she was looking at, I saw there were other people wearing the same Greek-like outfits. I assumed that she and the group were acquainted. ¡°This one is an ¡®Unchained¡¯. Hevina, what should we do with him?¡± The one called Hevina waved her hand and a human with bird wings flew down from God knows where. I noticed Hevina approached the bird girl and whispered something to the creature. In response she nodded her head and flew straight into me. I took a defensive posture expecting some sort of attack. A couple minutes passed, the bird girl was gone, and I began to feel a slight uneasiness coming from within me. As if my body was hijacked, my posture was being undone. The next thing I know I could feel my mouth talking and yet I spoke nothing. ¡°This boy came from an intriguing world.¡± Hevina stroked her chin. ¡°Did he meet anyone else before coming here?¡± Whilst I¡¯m still confused as to what is happening to me, I felt my mouth move again. ¡°He was in a room filled with other people he referred to as ¡®crew¡¯, ¡®personnel¡¯ and an entity called ¡®EVA¡¯. He did not run into other gods'' domain, especially ¡®Her¡¯ domain.¡± Hevina grinned and when I saw it, it sent chills through my body. Well theoretically speaking since the only thing within my control is my own consciousness. ¡°Archangel Fulvia, I am giving you the task to monitor this new batch of ¡®Avatars¡¯. Should any of them step out of line or prove to be a threat to ¡®our¡¯ new conquered world, you have the authority to deal with them in whatever way you see fit. That boys¡¯ body will be your reward for your centuries long servitude and your vessel.¡± Hold the fuck up. WHAT!? I screamed mentally. That goddess just gave this angel the green light to use my body to commit murder!? ¡°I humbly accept this reward Master.¡± I felt Fulvia taking control of my body again and knelt down with my right arm to my left chest. Which I assumed was some sort of salute while facing down the floor. I honestly am not going to let this slide without a fight, so I used up all my power to attempt to take back control. It was futile as I was greeted with ¡®Error¡¯ messages. ¡°Master. Even this vessel may be weak, I can feel his conscience struggling to retake back his body.¡± Hevina raised one of her eyebrows. ¡°Would that be an issue?¡± In response Fulvia answered. ¡°No. Since he did not get ¡®Blessed¡¯, it won¡¯t be an issue however it might make me unpleasant.¡± Hevina turned her back towards Fulvia and waved as she disappeared into tiny particles of light. Before she disappeared, I could hear the echoes of the message left for Fulvia. ¡°I am entrusting the ¡®Mortal Realm¡¯ to you. I¡¯ve sent an ¡®Oracle¡¯ to one of the priests in the kingdom, they will be expecting you.¡± With that I am blinded YET AGAIN. ¡°FOR GOD SAKES! AM I JUST A BYSTANDER NOW!?¡± I screamed again, MENTALLY. Chapter 2: Bored Outta My Mind鈥?ait What? [Shephard: Do you have the DSM? Ghost: We got it, sir! Shephard: Good. That¡¯s one less loose end. -gunshot- Ghost: NO! -gunshot- Price: Ghost! Come in! This is Price! We¡¯re under attack by Shephard¡¯s men at the boneyard! Soap, hold the left flank! Do not trust Shephard- I say again, do not trust Shephard! Soap get down!] Goddamn, this scene gets me every time. The biggest betrayal in gaming history and the reason behind my distrust in others when I always party up in matchmaking. I am currently killing time watching some old video games cutscenes while my body is still hijacked. Taking some time off from watching the videos, I glanced around the room and its quite an extravagant room belonging to the ¡®Filma Faith¡¯, the dominant religious faith in the eastern part of the human continent. From what I can gather from their conversations, this faith worships the six Gods that were recently introduced through one of their heroes that got summoned to this world a few centuries ago. It was a sneaky tactic by inserting one of their own and pretty much when their hero got enough publicity, that hero lead a revolt against the old faith. I zoned out on the non-important small talks however one topic piqued my interest. They were discussing plans on using the 100 people to completely wipe out the last remnants of the old faith¡¯s follower and their gods. ¡°Well that is one juicy intel but I can¡¯t do jack squat since I am still powerless to kick this god dam pain in the ass archangel outta my goddamn body¡± As I mentally spoke out my thought, a bunch of windows started popping all over my vision to the point it almost completely covered in windows. All of them were ¡®Alert¡¯ messages indicating that my level isn¡¯t high enough to execute a particular skill. I mentally sighed and decided to do the one thing I keep delaying. ¡°Might as well get this over with. ¡®Status¡¯. OH! And play ¡®¡®No Time To Die''¡¯.¡±Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. A ¡®Status¡¯ window popped up followed with a secondary window behind it. I thoroughly scanned through the window that popped up first. [Name: Commander Umu Alias: N/A Age: 20 Gender: N/A Race: N/A Level: 1 Class: N/A HP: 1/1 Armor: N/A Strength: 3 Vitality: 2 Endurance: 5 Agility:3 Intelligence:5 Craftsmanship: 2 Leadership: 5] I could see that my name is the character name that I made on a whim. I noticed a couple new categories that weren¡¯t there before such as ¡®Alias¡¯ and ¡¯Race¡¯. I also saw that all my stats were reset back to the time I made this character so that did explain why I couldn¡¯t use a lot of the higher ranked skills. Feeling satisfied since I did not find any other abnormalities with my status window, I pulled out the second window which was the ¡®Skill Tree¡¯ and was shocked at how limited my options were. Only five basic skills were available for me to use and none of them could help me to get out of my captivity situation. [Sprint: At the cost of accuracy, your movement speed is temporarily increased. Can be deactivated at a full stop or cover stop. Cover to Cover: When in cover, will automatically activate ¡®Sprint¡¯ to get to cover within your Field of View. Arm Shield: An active forcefield in the shape of a riot shield, can project the user from small arms fire. Larger caliber or force can cripple the shield. CD: 1 minute. StimShot: Heals your health. If your health is at full, the Stimshot will activate ¡®Overdrive¡¯ temporarily increasing health by 50%. Armor Heal: Quickly swap out the destroyed armor for a fresh one.] ¡°Man. Of fucking course I have to start with the shitty basic skills¡± While I was complaining about my skills, I browsed from the active section of the ¡®Skill Tree¡¯ to the passive section and noticed one skill wasn¡¯t locked and it was active. The ¡®T-Doll Link¡¯ skill is a rank cap unlock and yet this skill was not locked while my entire rank was reset back to Private. I attempted to turn it off but was greeted with an ¡®Error¡¯ window. [Level Too Low. Cannot Toggle Off.] Another message popped out not a second too soon after my failed attempt to turn off that link skill. [T-doll dummy target acquired. Acquiring Link from Target to Host.] [Connection established. Awaiting execution command.] Wait a minute. I vaguely remember one skill that can forcibly execute a passive skill of their choosing and I definitely know the only player that does this. ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± [Execution Command Authorized.] Before I could mentally shout out the players name, the final message popped up. The next thing I knew, I could see my vision being pulled from my body and the fast motion blurs that followed hampered my sight. As the blurs began to slow down, I heard a familiar feminine voice coming from my left side. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that worked!¡± Chapter 3: Introductory Training I haven''t commandeered a Tactical Doll since Season 1. So, I was a bit sluggish in the movement department, occasionally I would trip and fall due to the specific modifications that this variant had. If memory serves me right, this model was the ''Combat Maid'' model that was stolen from me in the last ''Clan Wars''. This model is the first of its kind where it closely mimics the human psyche, the perfect ''Infiltrator'' type for covert operations. "So, getting the hang of ''Commandeering'' the very Tdoll prototype that I stole under your nose?" The feminine voice giggled lightly as she spun me around to face her. "Anyways before we get down to business, there are a few things I need you to do so if you could look this way." I quickly activated my ''ID scanner'' to confirm her identity and as I would guess it, it was ''her'' after all. ¡°So, it was you after all. The infamous Gvene, also known as the ¡®Stalker¡¯. Gvene blushed while fidgeting her thumbs. ¡°Aww, Staph it. You¡¯re making me blush. You know, I never really like that nickname. Plus, I don''t stalk my prey. I scout them.¡± Yep that¡¯s Gvene alright. Nothing about her had changed much, she still has that same old short black hair and the odd combination of red and green eyes. The one thing I notice that was different was that she wasn¡¯t wearing her usual combat gear, instead she was wearing some fantasy like armor that felt like it was made for ¡®Rogues¡¯. What made the getup up weird is that she is still wearing that GOD-AWFUL Green Beret cap. Gvene took out a small square device from her back pouch. ¡°Alright, Try following the square with your head.¡± As she said that, she started moving the device from the top of her head to the bottom of her waist. She finished the motion by moving the square to her left and right side. I immediately followed suit and each time I connect with her hand motion the square would light up green. The green indicates that there were no abnormalities with the Tdoll model to which Gvene let out a breath of relief.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. ¡°Thank god that Tdoll model is still operable after centuries of gathering rust. You are sure something when it comes to durability.¡± She gestured me to follow her towards a terribly makeshift shooting range. ¡°Alright, the next step is to have you get familiar with this body. Try shooting some targets I hastily put up.¡± She handed me a modified M16A1 with an FSS 11.5" Commando Barrel attached with a 5mW Laser and Commando Foregrip. A Smart Scope was installed on top of the receiver rail which scans for hostile targets within a short range, locking onto them automatically. I saw that she converted the normal M16 mags into a 9mm Para 31-Round Mags. She replaced the standard M16A1 with her Forge Tac CQS Stock. I used my right hand to hold the Rubberized Grip Tape which have a Short circuit wireless ID built into it to prevent my firearms from falling into the wrong hands. [User detected. Private Umu Serial code: A6B57F User Authentication granted.] [Connecting Weapon system to User HUD. Stand by. Connection Successful.] My Heads-Up Display was soon updated with the weapon name, clip size and magazine reserve in the bottom right of my view. To the left side, I could see my Health and Armor. My mini map somehow changed from the top left to the top right side of my view. I lost my motion tracker since my current ranks is still low. The top left side will be vacant for the time being and it will take some time for me to readjust myself to the new function¡¯s placements. Gvene began poking my cheek. ¡°Herrrooow? Earth to Umu. You there?¡± I waved off the finger that she was using to poke my cheek. ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯m here. I just got overwhelmed by a lot of the functions that appeared in my HUD.¡± I glanced over at my weapon once more. [M16A1 ¡®Smart¡¯ CQC 31/360] ¡°31 in the clip and 360 mags in the reserve. I should be careful of how I spent my shots.¡± I silently muttered to myself. I took aim at the first three targets in front of me; A rabbit with a horn on its head mounted onto a makeshift wooden plank, a large black bird hanging upside down from a large tree branch and a very large bear like creature in the far back. To conserve the ammo in my clip, I toggled from automatic mode to semi-mode so I can shoot one bullet per trigger pull. I also toggled the ¡®Headshot¡¯ option on my Smart scope and instantly three red circles popped into my vision on the three targets head. I quickly snapped my rifle at each target pulling the trigger once per snap. All three bullets impacted the heads in under 3 seconds. I turned around to face Gvene, only to met with her jaw gaped open in surprise. ¡°What the fuck was THAT?¡± I smirked and grinned at her while letting out some chuckle of amusement at the same time. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you after you tell me how the hell you are here, alive and kicking.¡± I furrowed my eyebrows after saying that and I followed up with one more comment. ¡°There was no way that you are reincarnated.¡± Chapter 4: The Talk Part I ¡°God! I forgot how much I miss CHOCOLATE!¡± Gvene exclaimed as she rubbed her cheek with her left hand and she also displayed a face full of bliss and ecstasy. I narrowed my eyebrows as I silently watched her chowing down three more boxes of chocolate bars that I was saving up to gift to one of my T-dolls. ¡°Ever since I came here, the chocolates that I came across doesn¡¯t taste as godly compared to this.¡± Dam. She legit finished three boxes of my chocolate that I brought out from my inventory. I lowkey let out a sigh. ¡°Ok glutton. Talk.¡± Gvene took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth clean. ¡°Ok. Ok. I¡¯ll tell you but which version do you want? Long or Short?¡± ¡°Give it to me long and straight.¡± I took out a jar of carbonated beverages and two cups. Soon after, I poured the liquid into the two cups and I handed one of the cups to her as she began her tale. ¡°Remember how flight KAA104 tragedy?¡± The Kontinental Aviation Airline 104 tragedy, a sub-atmospheric craft that exploded midflight over the Pacific Ocean. Official reports were sketchy however all passengers and crew were confirmed to be dead. The cause of the explosion remained a mystery and was shelved by the ISA. ¡°Yea. I remember. The agency reported that all hands were lost. The International Spacecraft Agency could never explain the cause of the explosion, so it was shelved.¡± Gvene gave me a serious look.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. ¡°This is the part where it gets juicy. The cause of the explosion was due to a summoning gone awry and everyone that got caught up had their physical bodies vanished.¡± It finally clicked. The reason why KAA104 was a unique case is that the ISA could never recover any bodies from the wreckage. ¡°So, you¡¯re telling me an awry summoning is the culprit. Wait. But that isn¡¯t how most isekai work though. One has to be dead¡­.¡± I scoffed at what I just heard and Gvene gave me a shoulder shrug. ¡°Well that¡¯s what happened. And we did meet a goddess and she handled our transition from our old world to the new world.¡± Gvene paused to take a sip from the cup. ¡°Everyone gotten their own new bodies and cheats. As for me I asked her if I could have the body of my game avatar and access to firearms as my cheat power.¡± I took a sip from my own cup before I made eye contact to Gvene. ¡°What was the catch?¡± Gvene brought out her thinking hat from what I assume to be her version of the ¡®Inventory¡¯. ¡°All the goddess asked of us is to further develop her world and to help her creations to subdue a demon lord from destroying the world¡­ type of clich¨¦.¡± She took another sip from the cup. ¡°At first the world was changing for the best. Well that was before that ¡®Hero¡¯ came. And shit went to hell after. Some religious cult popped up outta thin air in the continent to the East and a huge war followed. That war alone stalled the technological advancements. Umu, I¡¯ll tell ya the shit we made back then was revolutionary. Mana infused crystals powered almost everything including boosting magic powers. And now we are stuck in some fantasy steampunk shit time.¡± Gvene gulped down the last drop and threw the cup back to me. I caught it and stored it back into my inventory. ¡°How long had it been since the war?¡± Gvene raised up four fingers. ¡°Four centuries. That¡¯s how long and now that group is now calling themselves the ¡®Filma Faith¡¯. We¡¯ve been fighting against their influence ever since and let¡¯s just say, it is not going well. They are somehow winning the nobles over. And their so called ¡®Avatars¡¯ is causing this world to decline even more.¡± I noticed a blip on my motion tracker, and it was color coded red. I took out a small recording device and tossed it out Gvene. She caught it with a dumbfound look. ¡°What is this?¡± I point my index finger at her and gave her the ¡®down low¡¯ gesture. She immediately caught on that we got unexpected guest. ¡°Gvene. We¡¯ll talk more later after we dealt with these ¡®guests¡± Gvene nodded as I drew my M16A1 from my back. I proceeded to lay prone facing the direction where the first red dot was detected while aiming down the sight.
