It is now the year of 3015. A whole century has past. Cannibalism controls every thought, every action that anyone makes. Survival reigns over the land and all its occupants with an unforgiving hold. The extinction of the human race are kept on the brink of control thanks to the military. And the Damned. They eat their own birth race. Ethically, they are human. In the 20th century, these monsters were called cannibals. The Damned contain no soul, no consciousness, no glimmer of anything essentially human. Except their appearance. They have lured many humans out like bears being attracted to honey. Then, they devour us. Cooked, mashed, half-alive, it doesn't matter. Humans are food. Livestock that has found a way to survive temporarily. Humanity's population is not even 1/9ths of what it had been in our most glorious days on the 20th century. The wickedness of man is unending. These animals formed their own pack that was eventually dubbed as the Damned. Slowly but surely, the Damned consumed us. We, what was left of us, retreated to two corners of every continent -- the East and West Coasts. There, humans only have to fight on one front because the Damned cannot come in contact with salt water. They burn. Perhaps it is a manifestation of their sins. Either way, humanity has held up their end for so long, but our population is decreasing. Less babies are born every year, and the death rate continues to rise. Humanity is nearly extinct. Soon, the word human will be history. However, if the Damned think we are going without a fight, they are wrong. It is time to make humanity's last stand.

McLaughlin and his comrades go on a top secret mission to end the war on terror, until they find a secret that could potentially destroy the American government and ultimately their lives as well.

War has come to Elaech. In order to fund his new war in Gallanuul, King Allard Navri has placed unbearably high taxes on his people, taxes that they simply cannot pay. Mothers send their sons off to die for a king who cares nothing for them in a war they want no part of. Families crumble under the pressure of collecting enough money just to stay alive. Children are forced to work in slave-like conditions in order to keep food on the table. One man, however, does not stand for this. Dorad Erilion, a young lord of Elaech and a member of the former King's court, calls for the people to rise up in revolution against this new king. The lesser lords, who are suffering under the new reign because of the loss of the peasantry, flock to Dorad Erilion's banner in the hopes of defeating the King Allard in his mighty castle in Werach. This rebellion must succeed, however, for if they do not, no mortal strength can save them from the wrath of the Coward King.

"War never leaves a man, it follows him wherever he may go. It haunts him, looms over him like a rain cloud. Its always there. Even years after the fight, war never leaves a man."

Wanting more from life he enlisted into the United States Army, not fearing the rise of the Third Reich, he saw that as Europe's war. On December 7th, 1941 that all changed, Japan had attacked America, and Lou, along with the rest of the 1st Infantry Division, was thrust into a raging conflict that became known as The Second Great War.
