Hetalia Grenade

In the aftermath of Shadows Protocol, the world remains a perilous landscape of covert missions, political intrigues, and underground conflicts. As tensions between nations escalate, Pakistan’s elite intelligence team, led by the seasoned agent Zayan Malik, faces their greatest challenge yet—a rescue mission fraught with deception, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. It all begins with the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Zayan during a crucial mission in Lebanon. Tasked with intercepting and dismantling joint Israeli and Indian covert operations, the mission ends in catastrophe. A massive explosion rocks the target area, and Zayan is presumed dead, caught in the blast. His team—comprising Ubaid, Irfan, Kashif, and Captain Rizwan—finds themselves reeling from the loss of their leader, grappling with grief, doubt, and a profound sense of betrayal. The mission, which had seemed straightforward, now hangs over them as an unsolved mystery. Ten days pass in an agonizing blur of mourning and frustration until Aaliya, the team’s brilliant intelligence specialist, intercepts a cryptic communication hinting that Zayan might still be alive, held captive in Israel. The faint hope reignites the team’s determination, and Major Hamza, their chief, authorizes a new mission. The stakes are higher than ever as they covertly enter Israel, operating under intense scrutiny and evading a network of traps. However, the trail leads them to nothing—a carefully orchestrated ruse to lure them into enemy territory. Humiliated and disheartened, the team returns home, their trust in the intelligence community shaken, but Aaliya remains unconvinced that this is the end of their search. Months pass with no solid leads until a fragment of intelligence surfaces, pointing towards an oil refinery in the depths of Iraq. The team, though battered by the earlier failure, seizes this opportunity. They gather their equipment, resolve bolstered by the possibility that Zayan might be closer than ever. Major Hamza authorizes the mission, knowing the risks but also understanding that this could be their last chance to save their comrade. The journey to Iraq is fraught with peril, the team navigating hostile terrain, avoiding enemy patrols, and using every trick in their book to remain undetected. Every step they take is a step closer to a potential ambush, but they move with purpose, each of them understanding that this is a mission they cannot afford to fail. The refinery stands in a barren desert, surrounded by armed guards, patrolled by drones, and fortified with defenses. The team moves under the cover of night, taking up positions around the target. Ubaid, Irfan, and Kashif, with the patience of seasoned operatives, wait for the perfect moment to strike. Aaliya monitors the situation from afar, guiding them through the labyrinthine pathways and providing vital surveillance. As dawn approaches, the atmosphere is electric with tension, every sound amplified in the quiet desert night. Suddenly, the operation erupts into a firefight, bullets ricocheting off metal structures and grenades detonating amidst the chaos. The refinery becomes a battlefield, the echoes of gunfire blending with the sounds of the desert. The team pushes forward, cutting through the defenses and leaving a trail of destruction behind them. They know the cost of hesitation—failure means losing Zayan forever, and they are prepared to make any sacrifice necessary. Deep within the refinery’s underground levels, they locate a fortified chamber. The sight inside shocks them—Zayan, their leader, chained and barely conscious, his body bruised and battered from days of captivity. Hope mingles with fury as they realize the true extent of his ordeal. Ubaid, his voice cracking, sends a desperate message back to Major Hamza: "الحمداللہ sir, Zayan is alive and he's with us, but he's badly injured. Mission accomplished."

In a world where time is but a cruel plaything, Kurayyami Akuma, a 16-year-old boy, finds himself ensnared in a nightmarish loop of death and rebirth. What begins as an ordinary school day spirals into terror as he and his classmates stumble into a seemingly abandoned building, only to be greeted by a sinister group of killers led by a mysterious figure known only as the Leader. Each death he suffers unlocks memories of the past and hints at a chilling connection to the very horrors he faces. Initially timid and slender, Kurayyami’s transformation begins with the knowledge that each demise grants him an opportunity to rewrite fate. As he dies and resurrects, he dedicates himself to intense training, honing his body into a formidable weapon. Through martial arts such as Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Ninjutsu, he crafts himself into a ruthless, cunning survivor—one who blends shadows with steel. Armed with an arsenal of weaponry, including guns, knives, grenades, and smoke bombs, Kurayyami dons an all-black cloak that symbolizes both his struggle and resolve. His eyes are enhanced with night and thermal vision contact lenses, allowing him to perceive threats lurking in the dark and hidden dangers that could end his life. As he navigates this cycle of horror, he adopts the persona of the Akuma, the demon—his name a harbinger of vengeance against those who threaten his existence and the lives of his loved ones. But it’s not just the killers he faces. In every loop, the Leader seems to know him, as if their fates are inexplicably intertwined. With each new encounter, Kurayyami learns more about his adversaries, their motivations, and the twisted games they play. He becomes a keen observer of human nature, calculating the moves of both friend and foe, all while wrestling with his growing darkness. As the loops progress, Kurayyami is faced with moral dilemmas and heart-wrenching choices. Will he continue to let fear dictate his actions, or will he embrace the ruthless persona he’s cultivated? With his family’s safety hanging in the balance, he must confront the chilling reality that the true enemy may not be the killers but the fate that binds him. In "Loopbreaker: Akuma's Ascension," the lines between hunter and hunted blur as Kurayyami embarks on a harrowing journey filled with bloodshed, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. Will he break the cycle of despair, or will he succumb to the darkness that beckons him? In a world ruled by fear, survival is only the beginning; true ascension demands a price.

Ivan, once an ordinary student with a craving for instant ramen and procrastination, found himself reborn (of sorts) in a world ripped straight out of a fantasy novel. The good news? He could summon anything from his old world—a cozy armchair, a life-saving bottle of ketchup, or even a cute top hat (because why not?). his powers are hilariously unbalanced, and his character sheet looked like a blank page ripped from a forgotten notebook. Strength? Zero. Dexterity? Zero. Stamina? But hey, at least he wasn't useless. Ivan could, in theory, summon weapons of mass destruction. The real challenge wasn't raining down fire and rocket-propelled grenades (though that was an option); it was surviving in a world filled with orcs, mages, and creatures with names you couldn't pronounce—all while his body resembled that of a slightly less-scrawny person.

坦克比刀剑更有力。。。 Some smart person once said that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” In a roundabout sort of way, they were definitely right. But you know what else is mightier than the sword? And in a much less roundabout way? That’s right: the tank. Yes. The tank. Specifically, the good ol’ M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. 70 tons of concentrated American-made death. One 120mm smoothbore gun. A 50 caliber heavy machine gun complimented by a pair of M240 LMGs. Hell, it can even shoot missiles or grenades if you want it to! Basically, throw one of these bad boys into the middle of a medieval fantasy world where most people are still hacking away at each other with swords, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for success. I sure hope you're excited. 'Cuz that's exactly what we're going to do.

Year 20XX, a large explosion devastated the city of New York. The explosion, although was huge —was vastly weak compared to a grenade explosion, as if there was no heat nor force exerted. The buildings were completely intact, however there are no survivors, the city were suddenly crawling with vicious creatures now identified as "Animus", beasts with greater strength to handle any of humanity's weapons of that time. One by one, country by country, until today— the silent explosions continuously appears to bring dread to humanity. Years of work after the initial explosion, researchers were able to detect fluctuations before the explosions, buying enough time for people to evacuate. But that doesn't mean that it will help humanity in reclaiming their cities, they would only continue to fall apart from there. However, this breakthrough is what allowed research to go further than just observing. Smaller explosions that were detected, was observed to only spawn weaker variants of Animus, a category known as Lesser Animus. Animus that are smaller and weaker, yet durable nonetheless. Soldiers were dispatched in order to retrieve Animus carcasses to be studied. By two more years, humanity was able to find out the means to make a weapon against their now common enemy. A weapon capable of using Anima, an energy used by Animus. However the only ones that can wield it are the creatures that can produce Anima from their body which are the Animus themselves. Although humanity was ready to give up on their fate, by one stroke of luck their evolution led to be the one they need the most. A rare number of people with the capability to absorb and utilize Anima energy appeared, thus the start of the battle for reclaiming. However, while female combatants can control their Anima energy, the male combatants can hardly control their own, resulting in their own transformation into an Animus themselves. Thus it was banned for men to use any Anima equipments, only to be instated as non-combatant officers. These individuals are titled "Reapers" for their ability to produce Anima. An organization was formed in order to manage the Reapers and to dispatch them as humanity's finest weapon against the Animus. Fifty years after the initial explosion, the Anti-Animus "Soul Retrievers"— branch in Quezon City, Manila, a man was enlisted as part of the 4th Division of Reapers. A rare individual which is in between normal human and a Reaper, a man with a weaker Anima energy, yet is capable of wielding it freely as much as others. A small piece that will undoubtedly play a part in the largest project of Humanity: the reclamation of safety and to claim victory against the Animus.

Born in a futuristic world where everything is nearly possible through ultra-high, space-age technology, Maxwell Thorne, a tremendously-skilled and versatile, 17-year old half-human, half-vampire, will journey to one of the numerous universes that is parallel to the one that he inhabits. Aim? To extract exceedingly large amounts of a special mineral that will ensure the continuity and development of his home world, Earth. And only he could go alone since he had a unique and advanced physiology to be able to quickly adapt and survive in there. But would he be able to actually survive in there? In a world where arrogant and haughty cultivators of Cosmic Qi, Soul Qi, Body Qi, etc, are innumerous like the sands in the desert? However, armed with many kinds of Hi-Tech futuristic equipments such as: Exoskeketal Armors, Reactor-Powered Suits, Jet Bikes, Gravity-Defying Automobiles, and then Weapons such as: Laser Swords, Disintegration Ray Rifles, Electron Beam Pistols, Plasma Grenade Launchers and many more, he might just be able to survive in there. While his body which contains two extremely powerful energies that are simply infinite, Maxwell would use them to limitlessly power the multi-trillion dollar Bionic Implants in his body to be able to contend with the cultivation experts in the parallel world he goes to for mineral extraction. *** So the cultivators in this world can punch massive holes in mountains and sunder entire valleys with their bare fists and legs? He can also do the same. They can fly at insane speeds and breathe in space? He can also pull off that amazing feat. They can cultivate any type of Qi to grow stronger, faster and more powerful? He doesn't need to cultivate anything to grow stronger, faster and more powerful. He is naturally super-strong, super-fast, and astronomically powerful. And these are due to the two boundless energies pulsating within him. Therefore, with the unlimited and vastly powerful energies that are present in his body which he would use to endlessly power the Bionic Implants in his body to augment his body's abilities, he is on his way to becoming a 'God' in this universe full of cultivators. Then due to the extreme physiological alteration of his body by one of the two unfathomably powerful energies, endowing him with astonishing superhuman powers like: Ability to shoot wide and focused, continuous beams of electricity from his eyes and hands, or as concentrated blasts from his entire body in all directions to cancel out hundreds or thousands of targets; Ability to unleash massive, ravaging streams of fire possessing great heat which would match that of the planet core or sun's core to melt away or vaporize obstacles; Ability to unceasingly generate atomic bomb-level and nuclear bomb-level explosions to totally ruin or devastate entire cities or continents; Ability to fly in the air or run on feet at sub-sonic, supersonic, hypersonic, light and supra-light speeds to chase after his enemies and slay them, etc, he is very much on his way to becoming someone who would be fearsomely powerful and dreadful than the so-called 'Gods' or 'Deities' in this cultivators' universe. But, would he be able to grow to this infinitely powerful level in the vast world of scheming, greedy, jealous and absolutely wicked cultivators? Would he be able to successfully take a greatly sufficient quantity of the special mineral to Earth for his planet continued sustenance? *** To know more, then journey with our amazing hybrid MC, Maxwell Thorne, on his adventurous exploration of a parallel universe for a unique mineral that will prevent his world, Earth, from becoming completely desolate and then implode. And while at it, he will try to defeat or crush every form of cultivator that will appear in his path and then eventually proclaim himself as the 'Absolute Strongest' in their world, leaving an unmatched legend behind.

[TAKE A ShiT TO UNLOCK A NEW REWARD!] A gaudy voice declared outta nowhere. "What is this now?" This digital thing appeared in front of my eyes as I was eating nachos, watching Breaking of the Beds. My favorite porn movie, just as this Walter dude told this Jesse chick they need to sell their bodies for money. [Take. A ShIT. TO UNLOCK. A NEW REWARD!] The message echoed again, its digital voice tinged with what sounded suspiciously like impatience. "...Is this a prank?" I asked myself out loud like a fucking idiot. As if the answer wasn't obvious enough. "Oh, right. Nobody cares enough about me to make a prank like this." I realized. "So, I've finally gone insane. Oh well, I live alone so I don't gotta really worry about anyone but myself..."  Let me introduce myself. I'm Micheal Micheals, the epitome of a loser. My parents couldn't even be bothered to think of a unique name for me. If I were in a room with four people and a grenade was thrown in, not only would no one dive on it to save me, but they'd probably shove me towards it instead. The only person who wouldn't is, well, me. But given the spectacular failure that is my life, I'm starting to question even that. All my life, I've been the textbook definition of a loser. Friends? They ran for the hills the second they met me. Teachers? Wrote me off from day one. Bosses? Probably daydream about firing me out of a cannon. A girlfriend? That's a good one. My first crush? She stomped on my heart like it was part of her morning workout routine. My parents? They threw in the towel and disowned me. Even my bully had a breakdown the first time he saw me, sobbing that I was too hideous to gaze upon as he pummeled me. I mean, I don't think I'm the Elephant Man or anything, but I guess being Micheal Micheals comes with its own set of cursed rules. Victory? Not even in my dreams. They all morph into nightmares, and every night is a special screening of 'Micheal's Greatest Fears' with a side of sleep paralysis. Life for me has been like constantly rolling a 1 on luck or something. A living, breathing failure, just using up oxygen until I expire. The universe seems to have it out for me. I once thought about ending it all just to give the world a break, but even that seemed like too much effort.
