Chicago, 1949. Jack Byrnes is a FBI agent who gets called to find the serial killer of numerous men, leaving only a sport card behind. Between a mysterious witness never leaving his thoughts and his attempts at drowning his personal demons in gin and tonic, will Jack be able to find and stop the killer before they get to their next victim? -- Jack blinked. "Do you ever stop a moment and notice that odd waiting sensation? You're waiting for something, yet you don't know what. I usually don't like to dwell on that because it's so uncomfortable. Such a bizarre sensation in the pit of my stomach." He sighed, caught Kenneth's gaze. "What I'm trying to say is, I'm been trying to fill that void with gin and tonics for a while now, even though I know it's useless." He regretted telling the man, but Kenneth chuckled as he stared at his drink, but not in mockery. "Could you believe I feel the same thing, that eternal waiting feeling you speak about? Maybe it's the reason we're both sitting here; now."

The year is 2575 and humanity has gone extinct. It's been like this for five centuries. Nobody knows how they went extinct. Some speculate it was due to a nuclear war. Others say it's due to a race wiping natural disaster and some say God had enough of their bullshit after going through Twitter for the first time and Thanos snapped them. Now anthropomorphic creatures with human-level intelligence roam the Earth. Despite the lack of humans, many of their technologies still remain. Among them, it appears that the tank had caught the attention of the new inhabitants. After many years of digging them up and restoring them into working order, the new government under reasons unknown to many decided to turn them to a sport, appropriately named "Tankery". Divided into two levels, the first being "School Level" which are obviously for students ranging from 13 to 22 and "Professional Level" for those above 22. This story follows a wolf named "Sparky Fang" in his journey as the Tankery commander for his school, "Providence High", to lead his school to the top. I do not claim any images/videos used in this book and credit goes to their respective owners Inspired by Girls Und Panzer. P.S most of my tank knowledge comes from games sooooo apologies for any mistakes made.

May 2036. The Second American Civil War has been ongoing for months and the United States as you know it is crumbling. The fascist and totalitarian New American Federation (NAF) has risen and taken over much of the country, whilst the former government has fled and is clinging on to territory out west. Americans under the jurisdiction of the NAF are subject to the brutal treatment of the state's military police Enzian, who enforce absolute compliance from civilians. The land of the free is now anything but. Unbeknownst to the NAF and Enzian however is what is lurking in the basement of a bar in downtown Baltimore. Sick of war and continued social and economic chaos, resistance is brewing right underneath their noses both in the city and elsewhere across the country. Cells of an opposition group are coming together and becoming more organised, threatening the existence of the tyrannical regime no sooner than it has began to establish complete control. This is no ordinary resistance movement, though. They have power that the NAF can't even begin to comprehend. They are not to be messed with. They are SYBER. *Frequent updates*
