Two Worlds, One War. The year, 1935 EC. Two great powers vied to control the continent of Europa. In the East, the sun rose over the Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance, a dictatorship known as the Empire. In the West, a network of loosely allied democracies banded together to form, the Atlantic Federation. Both powers depended on a precious mineral, ragnite, for their survival and its growing scarcity leading inevitably to war. With its overwhelming military might, the Empire captured one nation after another, while the Federation struggled to maintain unity, every battle driving them further back against the wall. Flush with victory, the Empire turns its gaze to a strategic island chain, a stepping stone to challenge the Federation's control of the North Sea. With a declaration from the capital and an invasion fleet dispatched, they move to seize what they believe is just another piece of land. But a violent storm and later fog engulfs the armada, blinding its course. When the skies clear, a coastline emerges on the horizon. Confident of an easy conquest, the Imperial forces prepare to unleash their military might on the island's Federation inhabitants. They are prepared for a battle. They are not prepared for the response. For this land is not just another territory; it is a member state of NATO, and its defense is guaranteed by the most powerful military alliance in history. ... Valkyria Chronicles: Unfettered Escalation is a crossover story between Valkyria Chronicles and Gate. Set in 2025 where NATO had expanded to include more nations, Sweden among them in the aftermath of a failed Russian invasion of Ukraine. NATO is thrust into a war with an Empire from another world. ... This story is made possible thanks to the following people: -Dayan -Fuji92

A science-fantasy crossover, that asks "What If the World of Arknights met the 21st Century United States." Beneath the classified depths of Area 51, a decades-long black project known as Project ARKSEK has achieved what was once thought impossible: the creation of a stable, functional gateway to another world. In the wake of this discovery, the United States mobilizes its most advanced and sophisticated military units and scientific minds to establish the first Human presence beyond the Gate. However, this new world known as "Terra" by its inhabitants is no empty frontier. It is a world shaped by its own complex History, Societies, Nations, Geopolitics, and scarred by Catastrophes. Home to diverse nations built upon the foundation of Originium, an enigmatic energy rich mineral that fuels entire civilizations, but also spreads a deadly disease that has no cure, known as Oripathy. What begins as an exploration mission slowly becomes something far more what the US could have ever bargained for in another world. Fraught with discoveries and dangers unlike anything humanity has ever encountered before. As American forces attempt to understand and navigate this alien yet familiar landscape, they will be forced to confront questions of Morality, Control, Diplomacy and weighing the cost of Intervention. What they will find on the other side may change the future of both worlds. For better or for worse. Every discovery always has a cost. And some doors, once opened, cannot be closed. For fans of speculative fiction. This work is fanmade fanfic passion project inspired by the world of Arknights, owned by Hypergryph and Yostar. All rights to the original story, characters, and intellectual property belong solely to their respective owners. I make no claim of ownership over any part of the Arknights universe.

Time and Fate, if you were given the former and knew about the latter, what would you do? Located in South East Asia, the nation known only as the Union of South East Asia (USEA) had long sat in one of the world's most important regions. Beset on all sides with nations wanting to take advantage of these important waterways, the union had remained mostly neutral for much its existence. To maintain its independent foreign policy, it had embarked on reforms to its industrial sector, allowing it to achieve unprecedented growth in the 2000s. Now the superstate proudly holds the title of "Emerging Power" as its industrial and military capabilities allow it to properly stand up against other great powers. But one day, a light engulfs them, transporting them to a world that has only existed in fantasy. Little did they know however, they were not the ones meant to be summoned. Taking place 1 year after when Japan was supposed to be summoned to the new world, the world has seen considerable change. The Kingdom of Louria is on the verge of total victory against the Qua-Toyne Principality and the Kingdom of Quila, the Parpaldia Empire has underwent drastic reforms to its colonial administration at the behest of a certain member of the Imperial Family causing a rift to open between the Imperial Family and the military, the demons from the Grameus Continent have broken through the doors of the world and are marching south to conquer all of the Fillades Continent only to be barely stopped by a coalition of nations, and finally, the Gra Valkas Empire wages a war of conquest against the HME led World Union. How will USEA fair in this hostile world? What happened to Japan's supposed summoning that never materialized? ... This is a fanfic based on Minoru's "Nihonkoku Shoukan/Summoning Japan/Japan Summons". Aside from Minoru's work, I was also inspired by several other fanfics of the same work.

"Unacceptable. If there's one thing that a conveniently appearing overpowered entity in this world has shown us, is that we are seen as weak and hopeless. I find that previous life's terms unacceptable. I want a better world. With these hands, I dare to seek a better world, and I will endure what I must to see it so." Achieving a world where Summoning Japan isn't needed is by no means easy, especially when that destiny is enforced through brutal impunity, but still- With his memories of his previous life, the Fate's Rebel decided to use his advance knowledge for the prosperity of his homeland. His ancestors may have set the grounds for the Holy Milishial Empire to shine high in the sky, but he will make sure that it will shine victoriously. Forever. ALTERNATIVE TITLE: Native character is so sick and tired of the constant ridicule that it made him time-travel post-mortem just so that he can defy the very idea of summoning conveniently overpowered entities. Oh, you don't like the HME? Too bad, they're thriving and prospering. DISCLAIMER: (Despite the story's tone of against the concept of Nihonkoku Shoukan, this is still a fan work of the novel Nihonkoku Shoukan/Summoning Japan, which belongs to Minorou-sensei.)
