When America discovers a portal to the mysterious Special Region, a land of dragons, magic, and ancient empires, the U.S. military embarks on an unprecedented mission to secure its treasures and power. But their invasion sparks a ripple of chaos, unearthing alliances and rivalries among the region's factions. As the war rages, a new threat emerges-cybernetic invaders from another dimension, drawn to the Special Region's unique magical energy. Faced with an advanced and relentless enemy, the Americans must form an uneasy alliance with the powerful Velthar Dominion and local city-states to prevent the Synthari-a race of machine-enhanced beings-from conquering the Special Region and using its power to dominate all worlds. As soldiers, mages, and mysterious hybrids fight to protect the Special Region, the fragile balance between magic and technology teeters on the brink. Amid betrayals, devastating battles, and unimaginable sacrifices, one question looms: how far will humanity go to control the unknown-and at what cost? A gripping tale of war, diplomacy, and survival, Gate: Shadows of the Unknown reimagines the clash between modern Earth and a fantastical realm, where the greatest threat comes not from within, but beyond.

Captain Henry Donnager expected a quiet career babysitting a dusty relic in Area 51. But when a test unlocks a portal to a world of knights and magic, he's thrust into command of Alpha Team, an elite unit tasked with exploring this new realm. They join the local Adventurers Guild, seeking to unravel the secrets of this fantastical realm and the ancient gateway's creators. As their quests reveal the potent forces of magic, they inadvertently entangle in the volatile politics between local rivalling factions. With American technology and ancient secrets in the balance, Henry's team navigates alliances and hostilities, enlisting local legends and air support in their quest. In a land where dragons loom, they discover that modern warfare's might-Hellfire missiles included-holds its own brand of magic.

Embracing their new reality, Japan and the United States forged a fresh coalition, leveraging their influence and steadfast principles in this unfamiliar realm. In light of agreed-upon arrangements, the two nations embarked on a joint expeditionary force to explore the new world, fully aware that the likelihood of this world aligning with their coalition was slim. As they beheld the new world, Japan and America encountered conflicts and ongoing wars that surpassed the brutality of their previous reality. They navigated this unfamiliar land, seeking to establish themselves as influential entities. The new world would soon have the opportunity to learn from the experiences and ideals of Japan and America. Based on the series 'Nihonkoku Shoukan'. The story is now available on Royal Road.

(This story is a rewrite of my fanfic novel Summoning Freedom on my fanfiction account MGrex, where it will also be posted.) The year is 2040. After WWIII the world was crippled, with European and Asian countries going into turmoil and instability with the mass detonation of nukes in the Eurasia continent. The US stands as one of the few remaining powers left, but not for long as without warning it seemingly vanishes leaving nothing but ocean where the North American continent once stood. Brought into a new world, the United States now enters into a new era of long lost opportunity and prosperity, a world not contaminated with the effects of nuclear war.
