The Arsenal In Me (AIM)
WuYan never sought war but he was built for it.
A decorated commander and tactician, WuYan led one of the most elite private military forces on Earth. He's calm under pressure, fiercely loyal to his men and ruthless only when the mission demanded it but he was the kind of leader forged by necessity, not ego.
Then the unthinkable happened.
His fortress-like military base was ambushed by a force unlike anything Earth had ever seen. Drones moved with alien intelligence, orbital strikes tore through defenses, and cloaked machines overwhelmed them in minutes. There was no warning, no negotiation, only devastation.
WuYan blacked out amidst the chaos.
He awoke not in ruins but aboard a starship, orbiting a twisted version of Earth. The geography was familiar, but the world had changed. Here, dragons flew beside war mechs and magic flowed alongside machine code. This wasn’t his Earth. It was something else. Something rebuilt.
He hadn’t been rescued.
He had been summoned.
Centuries ago, a multiversal machine race known only as the Class V descended upon this world. They didn’t conquer but they erased worlds, gods, demons as nothing withstood them. In desperation, a fragile alliance of divine and infernal beings summoned humanity’s greatest legends—Zhuge Liang, Musashi, Odysseus, Arthur, Beowulf and others, bestowed them with sacred and profane gifts.
Together, they fought back and won.
But the victory came at a cost.
Pantheons were shattered. Heroes were lost. The world they saved was built anew from the bones of divine realms and the ruins of machine tech. The surviving legends, granted immortality, were left to rule in the absence of their creators. And as centuries passed, that immortality turned into ambition. Peace unraveled. Old allies became rivals. Now, the world teeters on the edge of another great war, one fueled not by mortals but by immortal egos.
So the goddesses—NuWa, Athena, Isis, Sif, and Amaterasu-Okami—made a final move.
They didn’t choose another myth or sorcerer.
They summoned a man of discipline. A soldier of balance.
Instead of divine magic, they rebuilt WuYan with forbidden technology scavenged from the Machine War. His body was enhanced with regenerative nanites, adaptive reflexes, and neural war-learning systems. He became a supersoldier built to face champions blessed by both gods and demons. To match the threat, he was given a custom battlesuit—an evolving weapon that boosts his abilities and more dangerously, allows him to absorb and adapt powers from those he defeats.
And he’s not alone.
Two androids accompany him. They are mysterious, intelligent, and far more human than machines should be. Programmed to assist, protect, and infiltrate, they serve loyally... but their true purpose remains unknown, even to themselves.
WuYan’s mission is simple on the surface:
Stop the next war before it begins.
Eliminate corrupted immortals.
Stabilize the world.
But the deeper he goes, the more twisted the truth becomes.
What really happened during the Machine War?
Why did so many summoned legends vanish?
And what are the goddesses hiding behind their last desperate gamble?
As WuYan builds a new force in the shadows, recruiting allies, neutralizing threats and rewriting the rules, he begins to understand:
He wasn’t chosen as a hero.
He was sent as a correction.
A balancing force in a world ruled by gods, demons, and the ghosts of humanity’s greatest legends.
A soldier walking the edge between war and peace.
And in a realm where myths have turned into tyrants and technology whispers rebellion, WuYan may be the world’s last chance to prevent total collapse...
…or the final trigger to end it all.
