Shell Game

Game of lmmortality

Live what you want, and wish for what you desire, but don’t forget to put a limit to your wishes... for a day might come when they come true in a way you never dreamed of, and then you’ll realize how foolish you were. I was one of those few obsessed with video games, living among screens, and dreaming of being part of the digital worlds I used to drown in for hours. I didn’t want to be the noble hero who cries like a child at the first loss, or the one who carries slogans of justice while barely being able to protect himself. No, I wanted to be the villain—the one who imposes his presence, the earth shakes under his feet, and possesses a power greater than the hero of the game himself. On a cursed day, I didn’t wake up in my bed as usual, but inside one of the games I used to love obsessively. Everything was familiar, from the towering cities to the characters whose dialogues I had memorized by heart... but there was a problem, a problem I hadn’t expected—I didn’t incarnate in the body of that legendary villain I imagined, but in the body of the character I hated the most... the hero of the game, “Kyle Estoright.” Now, stuck in this role I always mocked, surrounded by the enemies I always wished to be one of, I realized a truth I had never thought about: maybe heroes have a reason that makes them fight, and maybe villains weren’t as grand as I had imagined... or maybe, just maybe, this wasn’t just a “game.”

Spells VS Shells

The Kingdom of Steel is rotting from within. Gluttonous nobles tear it apart, and the throne is cracking beneath the king. Rebellions brew in the rear, while powerful neighbors wait patiently for the perfect moment to intervene. They told me this world couldn't be changed. They told me this country couldn't be saved. They told me I was a worthless heir — a disgrace to a noble House. They were wrong. Because they didn't know where I came from. Didn't know what knowledge I brought with me. I will claim what's mine. Climb to the top. And rewrite this world from scratch. Let's see how their tactical spells compare to artillery shells. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Author's Note Now that we're done with the dramatic part, let me explain — simply and directly, what this story is about. In short: Technology vs. Magic. A protagonist who knows how a musket works... and has metal magic? What could be more imbalanced? If you've been looking for something in the vein of "Release That Witch" — yes, this is it. Of course, not right from Chapter One. Industrial revolutions take time. But eventually, you'll get: Musketeer lines vs. battle mages; Grapeshot tearing through knights; Cannonballs smashing into demons; Bombs dropped from airships onto castles; and chemical weapons... Oh, wait, was that a war crime? Let's pretend you didn't hear that last part. Naturally, there'll also be noble intrigue, impossible missions, duels, and absolute domination. What won't you find here? Well… Boredom. At least, I'll do my best.
