A man forced into war left behind what he holds dear to his heart Will the merciless Blight separate them and forever be apart? A story set in the world of Guts and Blackpowder

[USER NOTICE] I do not own the Half-Life franchise, simply the characters and storyline of Half-Life: New World Order. All rights to the franchise are reserved to Valve and DO NOT belong to me. Thank you. Two years after the seven hour war, the mankind was plunged into slavery. A darkness swelled in men.. Most complied, forcing themselves into the order taking their very soul and thoughts from themselves. They had no choice, the Combine was a growing and spanning force taking life from the creatures of dimensions and planets alike. What would you do? Most would rebel.. But wouldn't life be easier to give up, turning yourself into a lifeless soldier among the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Force?
