Iron Sentry: Blood on the Vanguard

By @Maciek Suchta

At nineteen, Maćek Suchta has only known survival on the unforgiving streets of Poland, a harsh existence that carved his mind into a hyper-analytical instrument. Diagnosed with Asperger's, he perceives the chaos of war not as terror, but as a complex system of vectors and probabilities. When the military drafts him into an elite, high-casualty vanguard unit, his precision-engineered mind becomes their greatest weapon - and his deepest curse. Marked by a full-sleeve tattoo of Japanese samurai masks on his right arm, he is a silent specter on the battlefield. But behind his calculated efficiency lies a desperate, unaligned soul seeking the family he never had. When his unit is deployed to hold a crumbling front line against an overwhelming, technologically superior adversary, Maćek must calculate the cost of human lives. To save his brothers-in-arms, he must decide whether to remain a cold, unfeeling machine or embrace the messy, lethal humanity that threatens to break him.

Stone and Scythe

By @john1208

Liam Thorne was a creature of comfort and lore, a self-proclaimed armchair archaeologist whose most strenuous adventures involved navigating forums on ancient metallurgy or debating the practicalities of a Minoan spear. His dream? To witness, firsthand, the untamed majesty of a bygone age, a world where myths breathed and history was forged in fire. Every night, before the drone of his humidifier lulled him to sleep, he’d whisper prayers to whatever pantheon might be listening: "Just one journey, one true glimpse of the epic past." His prayers, it seemed, were answered with a cosmic snicker. One moment, Liam was slumped over a textbook about ancient Aegean trade routes; the next, he was face-down in primordial mud, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and something distinctly predatory. Gone were the familiar hums of civilization, replaced by the guttural cries of unfamiliar beasts and the distant, unsettling drum of a tribal ritual. He had found his "epic past," alright, but it was less glorious Golden Age and more unwashed, bronze-tipped spear age - a brutal, unforgiving wilderness known as the Scarred Lands of Aerthos. Stripped of his modern comforts and his romanticized notions, Liam quickly discovers that surviving amidst warring clans, feral predators, and the sheer ignorance of rudimentary technology requires more than just academic knowledge. His wish granted, his true struggle for existence has only just begun, a constant battle against the harsh realities of a world that cares nothing for his human frailties.
