First, the world was peaceful.
But then, the world WAS peaceful.
And then, the world simply just... was.
Ever since most of us could remember, our leaders had always solved our problems as peacefully as humanly possible. Every country, republic, empire, state, you name it, were always cooperative with each other and openly exchanging thoughts and opinions. Any issue that presented itself was quickly dispersed of and swept underneath the carpet. No one had to worry about conflicts disruptions or even war.
There hadn't been a major war since World War II. That was over one hundred years ago. No one on the Earth truly knew what it felt like to be in a war with the world, and no one was on the Earth to tell us how to prevent one. Somehow, we just did. Every time a group of countries was on the verge of war, it was averted at last second in some way or another. That's just how everything seemed to work our peaceful society.
And then, I came along. It was an accident. Actually, it was a mistake, really. Of course, it certainly wasn't my intention to start a new world war, and it certainly wasn't my fault that it happened either. To the world it was known as, "The Incident." It changed the world. All peace, all cooperation, all trust was gone, just like that. It scared the hell out of me. My life changed forever.
I thought things changed after "The Incident." I thought things couldn't get any worse than they were.
And then, two men showed up in my bedroom.

ISF - Dark warriors of time
A bloodbath which could lead to a war. A sickening murder in a world separated into six nations whose relations are more than just strained. Countries controlled by greedy dictators, ready to walk over dead bodies to gain more power. And their people who had been shaped by propaganda, not being able to see that their leaders were just as sick as their enemies. All it had taken was one village being brutally eliminated to make the dictators snap under the tension and therefore hold the fate of billions in their hands. Had the motives for this murder been bigger than the war which hung over the nations like a menacing cloud? And if yes, who had carried the deed out? (Yes, the image is AI because I can neither draw very well, nor can I assemble five soldier-like people just like that to take a photo. I fully agree though, that AI "art" is not real art and I merely use it when I have no other way. The rest of the book is 100% free of AI and written only by my mind and keyboard. Please excuse any mistakes in my book, I am sleep-deprived and English is not my mother tongue).

The Peacekeepers: Secret War
Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo once said, "The purpose of all war is peace". In the world we live in today, this saying is one much too true. The Great War, the Second World War, the Vietnam War... these are all examples of such a catastrophe. Which ever one is made topic for discussion, the results are still the same - millions dead, and if not, suffering the aftermath. Despite all this, the sacrifices weren't in vain, as the necessary peace was kept. However, a war rages on, and this time, it could end the world. Two secret organizations, the Peacekeepers, who makes it its mission to protect the world, and the Southpaw, who's bent on destroying it. Hiroyuki Watanabe, a fellow Peacekeeper, is part of this war. A soldier, one too young. Along with his team of brave souls, the boy endeavors to end this secret war, before it ends humanity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: This was and still is my very first story. To elaborate even further, it was also my first time writing anything at all. My original intentions were to test the waters and see how it appeals to any and every reader that comes across it. So having mentioned that, it might not even count as a 'story', it more or less can be looked at as a 'prototype' of one. For any factual inaccuracies or misrepresentation of real-world concepts and ideas, those are on me, and I apologize if ever. I myself am still learning and trying to get the hang of things. On the other hand. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.Complete
