Everything’s personal about fighting.
You can lie to yourself, pretend something isn’t true, but in the end it’ll come back to you like a bad memory of something stupid you did earlier in your life. The people you try to make out like monsters are people. Everything that you destroy was built by somebody else. Everyone thinks they’re doing the ri...

Epidemiology was the study of discerning the source of illness and disease. In my last life, my first theoretical encounter of the practice was in the classroom. Events in history where people drank from polluted wells, used unsanitary tools to hew off limbs after a battle to save lives, and tracing the source of disease to ticks on mice. In practice, I was aware of the d...

When I was born, my destiny and that of my people’s was that of war.
From birth to adulthood, war was our sole and only purpose.
I killed for the first time at eight years old. The man I killed was three decades older than me, holding a pitchfork, and desperately trying to protect his town. Even now, I recall the fear in his eyes, the trembling in his arms, and the sensation of hi...

Famine.

Two words that shattered spirits once, but no longer.
“Shipment 531! Shipment 531!”
“Over here!”
The moment those words were uttered, the City of Wisdom seemingly changed overnight. Many had questions when the proclamation was first shared with the populace, but on the same day they were all answered. The King of Wisdom foresaw the qu...

Divinity.
The word was one with which I thought I was familiar with, until I found myself looking upon a Dragon.
Zi Long had taken to the desert upon a levitating piece of rock, with Zhang, Yuen, and myself following behind her. Such ability alone, amongst the Sects, would have her be proclaimed as a master. One of the most elite, as well. However, the act of flight wa...

Azazel was brilliant.
Please, don’t say things like that.
“Ha-ha! You’re great, kid!” I poured the man some more alcohol, while we conversed in the park. I was indulging in some soft drinks and chips, while the man was eating some takeout and having some strong liquor. As the host, I was paying for it all, but that was hardly a concern. The man was a goldmine of information a...

There should honestly be an age requirement for the battlefield, but that wasn’t true before the apocalypse, and it wasn’t true now. In the end, some kids are forced to grow up earlier than the rest, then they have to fight for the right to live, while other kids live happy lives.
