**Chapter 2: No Strategy, No Problem!**

The officers began to lay out the battle plan, discussing troop deployments, flanking maneuvers, and siege tactics. Kiyo listened intently, trying to make sense of it all. However, to him, it sounded like a bunch of gibberish. He nodded along, pretending to understand, but his mind was a blank. "Ah, yes, I see," Kiyo said, trying to sound confident. "So, we need to...uh...deploy our troops in a...a...triangle formation?" The officers exchanged skeptical glances. "Actually, Commander, we were thinking of a crescent moon formation," one of them corrected. Kiyo nodded vigorously. "Ah, yes, that's exactly what I meant. Crescent moon formation. Brilliant idea." The officers looked at each other uncertainly, but they continued to explain their plan. Kiyo zoned out, his mind wandering back to his gaming days. He thought about the times he had beaten the game with ease, effortlessly navigating the story and defeating the bosses. This was just like that, right? Except instead of pressing buttons, he was...uh...leading an army. As the discussion continued, Kiyo started to get more and more confused. He had no idea what a "siege engine" was, or what "cavalry" meant. He thought "artillery" was a type of food. The officers started to notice his confusion, and their expressions grew increasingly worried. "Commander, are you sure you're feeling okay?" one of them asked. "You seem a bit...distracted." Kiyo snapped back to reality. "Ah, yes, I'm fine. Just...uh...thinking strategically." The officers looked at each other uncertainly, but they tried to press on. "Okay, well, let's talk about the enemy's strengths and weaknesses," one of them said. Kiyo perked up. "Ah, yes, I know this one. In the game, General Victor is a tough opponent, but he has a weak spot...uh...his left flank?" The officers looked at each other in surprise. "Actually, Commander, that's correct," one of them said. "General Victor's left flank is his weak spot. But how did you...?" Kiyo shrugged. "Just gamer instincts, I guess." The officers exchanged skeptical glances, but they seemed to be willing to give Kiyo the benefit of the doubt. For now, they continued to explain their plan, trying to make sure Kiyo understood the basics. As they finished their discussion, Kiyo stood up, trying to look confident. "Alright, I think I've got it. Let's go win this battle!" The officers nodded, trying to hide their doubts. "Yes, Commander. Let's do this." As they left the tent, Kiyo felt a surge of excitement. He had no idea what he was doing, but he was determined to lead his army to victory. After all, he was Ryker, the protagonist of "Eternal Realms." He had to succeed. The problem was, he had no idea how.
