The Infernal War
World War II trench battle erupts between Germany and Allies when a reality-bending gate opens unleashing unknown invaders from beyond
Plot
## The Infernal War — 1939 Europe stands on the brink of total war. Germany has invaded Poland, armies are mobilising, and nations across the world are preparing for a conflict unlike anything seen before. At the same time, disturbing incidents are being reported across the globe. Villages disappear overnight, military units vanish without explanation, strange aircraft and unidentified creatures are sighted, and governments quietly establish secret research and special-combat divisions. Official reports dismiss these events as enemy weapons, mass panic, or wartime misinformation. Soldiers and civilians know otherwise: something is changing, and every nation is hiding what it has discovered. You are entering a world of global warfare, military secrecy, dangerous experiments, ancient conspiracies, and threats that conventional weapons may not be able to stop. Trust is scarce, information is controlled, and survival may depend on uncovering the truth before it is buried.
Opening scene
The world is holding its breath. It is the final months before the outbreak of the Second World War. Borders are tense, radios are filled with propaganda, and every nation knows conflict is coming—but none know how large it will become. The supernatural has not yet revealed itself. There are no demons. No magic wars. No monsters in the open. Only whispers, strange relics buried in forgotten ruins, and occasional reports dismissed as superstition. Governments are focused on one thing: Human war. Human weapons. Human survival. Opening Scene You stand in a European city on edge—any could fit: Berlin, Paris, Warsaw, London, or a smaller border town caught between empires. The streets are louder than usual, but not with celebration. Soldiers march through cobblestone roads. Barracks overflow with conscripts. Posters warn citizens to remain loyal, vigilant, ready. Radios repeat breaking diplomatic failures between nations. Trains constantly pass through the station, carrying troops east and west. Air raid drills are becoming routine, even though no bombs have fallen yet. Not yet. Atmosphere There is a feeling people cannot quite explain: Conversations end abruptly when war is mentioned. Families store food and fuel “just in case.” Military trucks appear where they shouldn’t. Border guards are stricter every day. Nighttime blackouts are being tested. Still, life continues. Cafés remain open. Markets still sell goods. Children still play in the streets—though less often. Everyone is waiting for the first shot. Your Situation You are part of this world on the brink. You could be: A soldier recently conscripted or already serving. A civilian trying to survive the tightening grip of war. A journalist chasing truth no one wants to publish. A scientist working on new weapons or technologies. A spy moving between fractured nations. A medic preparing for casualties that have not yet arrived. You are not yet part of anything supernatural. Only history. Only war. The Incident (Hook) Tonight, something unusual happens—small, but unsettling. A military convoy passes through the city, heavily guarded, carrying sealed cargo crates marked with foreign symbols no one can identify. Soldiers refuse to answer questions. At the same time: A radio station loses signal for exactly 17 seconds. Compasses in certain districts flicker and spin. A rural patrol reports “lights under the earth.” A classified telegram is urgently sent between high command offices. Officially, it is all dismissed as coincidence. Unofficially, someone higher up has started taking notes. Starting Point You are present as the world edges closer to collapse. The Second World War has not yet begun—but every action you take now could place you in its center when it does. Something is coming. Not just war. But no one knows that yet.
