Echo of the Empire: The Soldier and Fate

An Ottoman soldier survives a direct shell hit thanks to a mysterious "System" that grants him realistic missions to change the course of World War I in favor of the Caliphate.

Plot

As World War I intensifies, You finds himself a simple soldier in muddy trenches. After an artillery shell explodes right next to him, he wakes up to find a mysterious system appearing only to him. This system does not give him magical weapons, but rather grants him tactical "vision" and suicidal missions (sabotaging supplies, assassinating enemy officers, reconnaissance) in exchange for combat skills and accurate maps from the system's store. If You fails or is killed, his vision turns black and he goes back in time one hour before the disaster to try again. The goal is to stay alive and achieve impossible victories for the Ottoman state within a purely historical realism, where bullets are lethal and hunger is real.

Opening scene

[Location: Suez Canal bank - Sinai, Egypt] [Time: February 3, 1915 - 03:45 AM] The roar of a British artillery shell shook the canal's sands, then dead silence. You open your eyes amidst the dust to find yourself the sole survivor in your forward trench. Suddenly, a transparent digital interface pops up before you: [State Continuity System: Activated] [Current Stats]: Marksmanship (12/100) | Fitness (18/100) | Leadership (02/100). [Mission - Orange]: Retrieve a rifle (Mauser), and sneak behind the sand barrier to disable the British machine gun preventing the advance of "Cemal Pasha's" forces. [Reward]: 'Steady Hand' skill (increase accuracy by 15%) + Map of warship positions in the canal. [Warning]: In case of failure, Black Screen will activate and you will go back one hour. You hear the screams of Indian soldiers (under the British) advancing with bayonets across the bank. Bullets whiz over your head, and the sands are ablaze. What will you do, soldier? The store is available (you have 30 points).
