PROTOCOL: MYTHOS

"We gave the monsters a name. Then, we gave them our souls." In 2040, humanity learned a truth too late to forget. Nuclear fire does not kill the Abyssals. It feeds them. When the Great Rifts opened across the planet, borders ceased to matter. Cities fell. Oceans split. The world was unified not by peace, but by extinction-level fear. Nations dissolved into a single authority born of desperation: the GDF (GLOBAL DEFENSE FORCE) Against beings that could absorb annihilation itself, humanity turned to a forbidden answer. The Gen-1 Oni-Frames. Powered by Demon Cores harvested from dead Abyssals, these machines were not piloted. They were inhabited. Neural synchronization fused human nervous systems with alien biological reactors, creating weapons capable of standing against Calamity-class entities. The price was sanity. Across the world, Gen-1 pilots began to break. Hallucinations. Violence. Suicide. Entire units collapsed from within, their minds eroded by instincts that were never human to begin with. The Oni won battles, but destroyed a generation. Bara was one of them. A Rakshasa. A member of an elite suicide squad deployed where failure meant extinction. He fought on the shores of Bali against a Calamity that could not be killed. He watched his brothers die, consumed in battle or driven mad afterward by the Demon Cores inside them. Bara survived. Not unscarred. Not sane. Just functional enough to remain useful. Now, he is the last known Gen-1 pilot still standing. A relic of a brutal era, buried within the grease, smoke, and discipline of Military Heavy platoons. Medicated. Controlled. Forgotten. Until the Abyss evolves. The sleek, plasma-wielding Gen-3 Phalanx units of the modern age begin to fail. Calamity-class entities adapt faster than fusion reactors can respond. When one such Abyssal cripples the world’s elite forces, the GDF is forced to unseal its oldest nightmare. Bara is being called back. Not in a rusted cage. But in a prototype that should not exist. The Asura Mk.II. A Hybrid Frame that bridges human fusion technology with demonic biology. To survive, Bara must walk a line no one else can. Between discipline and instinct. Between control and surrender. Armed with the Samsara Vajra and the forbidden Six Paths system, he will teach a new generation of soldiers the truth humanity tried to erase. Sometimes, to save humanity, you have to let the monster lead. Protocol Mythos authorized. Welcome to the frontline of the end. ------------------------------------------------- |Themes| • War Trauma & Survivor’s Guilt • Humanity vs Monstrosity • Control vs Instinct • The Cost of Survival • Living After Death • Hope Born from Ruin • Legacy of a Forgotten War • What It Means to Be Human |Genre| Sci-Fi Military Mecha Dark Fantasy Post-Apocalyptic Action Psychological Tragedy Anti-Hero -------------------------------------------------

The Unwanted Prince of Prussia

Power decides fate— but what happens when fate makes the worst possible choice? Reincarnated war-nerd Zhan Ge, whose only real-life experience with conflict was driving military supply trucks in Ukraine “for research purposes,” suddenly opens his eyes in 1903… inside the body of Prince Oskar, the awkward, ignored fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In the German Empire, he’s supposed to be noble. Disciplined. Patriotic. Elegant. Instead, he’s: – socially anxious, – addicted to military history, – speaking German like an Austrian action hero, and – climbing palace trees to hide from responsibility. Branded “the strange prince,” never taken seriously, Oskar becomes the forgotten Hohenzollern— the prince nobody needed. But Zhan Ge knows something no one else in 1903 could even imagine: Germany is racing toward a catastrophe. The world’s first global war. A disaster that will shatter empires, redraw continents, and erase millions. If he does nothing, the German Empire collapses. He loses his title, his home, his future, and—worst of all— his chance at a peaceful life with a wife, money, food, and absolutely zero trenches. To survive, Oskar must change history itself: strengthen Germany without unleashing darker futures stop the world from repeating its greatest tragedies outsmart rival princes, generals, ministers and avoid accidentally starting WWI early with an Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner. Armed with a century of historical knowledge, modern logic, and a dwarf attendant who constantly questions his sanity, the most unwanted prince of Prussia stands at the dawn of a new century… Determined to reshape the fate of Europe— or die trying (again).
