An Imperial soldier awakens in a conflict mirroring World War I's brutality, only to realize the nightmare is far stranger than anticipated. Why does he find himself fighting alongside International Brigade volunteers against all expectations? The battlefield defies logic: Assault Troopers clad in metallic exoskeletons wield swords and shields with devastating precision. Armored Knights thunder across no man's land, their frames driven by diesel engines and arcane rituals. Battle mages coordinate strikes with infantry units. Every grotesque fusion of magic and machinery screams that this world operates under broken rules. Survival becomes the sole objective as Morin navigates the trenches and carnage of history's deadliest conflict—ironically christened 'the war to end all wars.' Bolt-action rifles bark across scorched earth while enchanted armor plating withstands rifle fire. Airships descend to conduct daring boarding raids. Magic and industry collide in a crucible of blood and thunder, where no soldier walks away unchanged.
