When Harry Potter's name emerged from the Goblet of Fire, the world turned against him. His friends abandoned him, his classmates mocked him, and even the staff stood by as he was bullied and cast out. Gryffindor, the house he had once called home, went so far as to hurt him and finally banish him. His own Head of House did nothing. Limping and broken, Harry retreated to the Chamber of Secrets, where he wept for the betrayal and cruelty he had endured. But in the depths of despair, something inside him snapped. The emotions he had buried for years-sorrow, anger, and betrayal-erupted. A dim core within him cracked, spilling out light that grew brighter and hotter until it consumed him. The burning power overwhelmed his body, and he collapsed. When he awoke, the Chamber was gone. He stood instead on a cosmic plain, strange and otherworldly. And there, descending from the heavens, was a massive snow-white dragon wreathed in golden light. The dragon had been waiting for him. It would guide Harry in mastering his awakened gift-one that would change the Wizarding World forever.

This story takes place in a fantasy world where demons, humans, and faunus (humans with animal qualities) fight for survival. A world where the rifle is shunned in favour for the sword and sheild. The Visean kingdom has recently defeated the Demon Queendom in a war and has secured a large amount of territory and also allowing other kingdoms to form such as the Empire of Japan with its famous samurai and the Spartan Kingdom with its legendary Spartan warriors. The king of the Visea kingdom was not a nice man. He had 4 sons. 3 were skilled warriors. However, the eldest, William, was looked down upon. While he was proficient as a sword, he served as a strategist for the Kingdom's armies. While the people loved him most of his family despised him. Therefore his father disowned him and exiled him to a distant village. Separated from the Kingdom as a separate country William saw this as an opportunity to build this village into a great empire. And on his journey he will bring concepts and ideas from his own world together. He will meet many people on this journey of revenge. And who knows maybe he will find love along the way?

In 1940, two years after a brutal civil war that resulted in the return of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the revived German Empire emerged as the dominant military, economic, and technological power in most of Europe. The Central Powers had been reformed, and significant technological advancements had been made that would forever change the world. However, just as a second world war was on the horizon, an enormous magical gate opened in Berlin. From this gate poured an army of armor-clad warriors and mythical monsters from another dimension, led by a man who proclaimed the creation of the "New Arthurian Province." Although the attack was successfully repelled, the gateway - dubbed the "Gate of Dimensions" - remained in Berlin. Fearing further assaults, the Kaiser mobilized a massive army composed of tanks, infantry, armored dogs, and supersoldiers to explore the other side of the gateway. What they discovered was a world filled with magic, abundant natural resources, and otherworldly forces.
