The Gate to Nowhere

2035, the world was shocked to see a large structure had appeared out of nowhere following a mass electrical grid shutdown that morning.

The area was sealed off by corporate and military groups as they inspected the structure, but a mere few hours after its appearance, an army had attacked.

It would be a vicious fight as heavily armed medieval like soldiers, along with mages soon ravaged downtown New York, thousands would die as reports of outages, jamming of military equipment, hallucinations of strange beings from military soldiers and civilian made the the fight last for a bitter 2 weeks.

The aftermath was quick as a Expeditionary Force was formed jointly from other branches of the United States Military and corporations looking to figure out the magical properties.

Labeled the New World Region, witness several characters try to find their way through a world that is not what it seems.

Warnings:

Includes dark subjects as rape, violence, detailed gore, torture, war crimes, some xenophobia, and a focus on cosmic/lovecraftian horror with hallucinations, time bending POVs, mind control, mental breakdowns, and matters that some probably would find depressing.

Authors note: this is not based of the Gate anime, just the premise, decided focusing on a more realistic medieval/early modern period where magic is slowly being unnecessary was more interesting, so expect a mix of dragoons, muskets, polearms, horses and other terminology from those periods

For the modern day aspects I agree its not realistic as myself am in no way even related to the US Military, but its just a personal project to write something i find interesting.

Pictures and music used are not mine, mostly just added to give context on what something looks like.
