Just wanted to let you guys know that your author isn't dead. I've been rather busy, however now that summer is here, I'll be free. Perhaps I'll post a few more pages for you tomorrow.

Major Update!
I finally found a style and a beginning that I liked! Thus, our Petya company marches on, as MC views his current world.
I had to rewrite a lot of it, but now I actually have a solid foundation. Please read!
From,
Your Humble Author.

Update
To be honest, the introduction to any story is the hardest to right, especially when things seem to lack direction or plot for the reader to follow. Yet, I persevere on, and hope to keep your interest.
Our MC begins his adventure in training, where the tensions between social classes and war weariness can be seen. Here's what I have now:

Enjoy! Though 2 pages may not seem like much, it's rather tiring. Once the story picks up, things will get easier for both of us.

Rewrite.
To allow things to be a bit easier, I'll repost the plot here, along with a .doc file of what I have done so far. After agonizing on what kind of writing style to take, I decided to do this one - for now. The other one felt extremely melodramatic, and took too long for anything to get done. In fact, the couple of pages I had written accomplished almost nothing.
Now I give you, Vrs. 2.2 of the opening chapter, with no corrections or anything. But first, the plot to refresh your memories.
Our main character is no superhero, nor is he a scholarly poet. Caught up in the times of his country, he is shipped off to fight a war against another nation that he knows nothing of. His preconceptions, thoughts, idealogies - all are subject to reconsideration as he experiences his time on the front. Yet, his experiences would have faded into the past if he had not been left behind by his company.
Alone, and bewildered, our protagonist is stuck in an unknown territory, forced to walk towards his homeland in hopes of finding his comrades. Yet, in his arduous trek back, he sees a different side of the war, and rediscovers the reason humans struggle, and at the same time - discover how truly selfish creatures they can be.
Whether it's sleeping in a bombed out farmed house, attempting to barter apples while disguised, or taken prisoner, our character will surely be a changed man. Let us travel with him, and experience the things he does, and the visions he sees. Perhaps we too shall gain a different perspective of human nature and the world afterwords.
Here's the file! Enjoy

Holy shit, I forgot about this!
Now that I actually have time, I can start doing more updates.
Here is a .doc file with some extra stuff. Right now is the obligatory introduction with some boring stuff, so I need to motivate myself to get to the good stuff.

Expect more to be added later this week.

Happy New Year!
I got back from my vacation, so it's back to work. I decided that I'll just load everything via mediafire so that there will not be a wall fo text assaulting your eyes every time.
I went through and edited some of the awkward parts, and also added a bit to the introductory chapter. Still needs to be a bit more finalizing, however I may soon have a presentable introduction chapter uploaded. My writing is not the best, but hopefully it's bearable.
Happy New Year,
Yuan-Huei
