When talking about World War 3, most people usually imagine a nuclear apocalypse or nuclear war. A war that will completely exterminate human civilization, leaving only radiation and the ruins of destroyed cities on Earth. What if, however, in a parallel universe in which the Soviet Union survives after 1991, nuclear weapons don't exist, and World War 3 is a war with the most advanced weapons from both NATO and the Soviet Union? A place where M1A1 Abrams and T-14 Armata collide and tremble the ground, where F-35 and Su-57 terrorize the skies. How would a war like this look like? And what if, even military weapons that were thought to come out of science fiction, such as laser guns, jetpacks, and lightsabers are used in The Third Human Global Conflict? Although everything would appear to be incredibly epic, it all began with a simple terrorist attack on New York City, which would slowly drive humans toward total annihilation. ---------------NOTE--------------- In this novel, I will call NATO as The Alliances, because the Alliances is a league where all anti-communist nations come together rather than just "North Atlantic nations". Also, everything in the Novel is entirely fictional, meaning that the whole world history in this novel is all made up and based on the real world, so don't accuse me of historical inaccuracies.

This is the story of the Third Princess of Guoyuan, Lin Singhua, after she was captured by the Emperor of Meihua. When psychologically broken and tortured in the prisons, she remoulds herself into thinking she is tofu. This is an exploration of the mental state of a crushed captive, and of how Tofu mentally protects herself in order to survive by running away from herself and her own memories. In order to reflect Tofu's mindset, the complexity of language may change according to her mental state at the time. This story contains mature content and adult themes. It is not a romance or love story. More an exploration of Singhua's thoughts and psychology following the traumatic events in her life. Some areas may appear to be cut short or not explored in depth because as the author, when I immersed myself too deeply in Singhua's world it became unhealthy for my own mental state. Nevertheless, please feel free to make comment. The location is set in a fictional version of historical China, approximately during the time there were many warring kingdoms or states. It also has mixed up historical elements from different time periods. In order to reflect that this is in a roughly Chinese setting, some Pinyin names have been retained. This story is based upon a half-dream. The story has been completed. There will be no further updates. Feel free to inform me of any language errors I may have missed.

A company has recently established a mission. Parts of history about the world they live in have been long forgotten, either because knowledge has been lost throughout generations or because information has been terminated by an unknown cause. The company has been advancing in technology. They have gone so far as to create a time machine named "Voyager." Andy Smith is a combat agent who has been trained in close combat and marksmanship. He was one of the best in his field. He was sent an invitation by the company, stating that they were looking for “skilled individuals” for this type of mission. The invitation that was sent to Andy had written terms and potential risks that he agreed to in order to take part in the mission. He had agreed that the cause of his death would be his responsibility and that the company would not be liable for his death. He will be sent to a period of time in the past that was considered “unknown” because the events were unrecorded. His mission was to gather missing information from past events for scientific purposes and, potentially, historical discoveries. Unfortunately, due to the unrecorded events, the researchers have no information about whether this period is safe or not, and Andy would have to engage in the mission blind. He had agreed to take part in it, regardless of the risks.
