Reincarnated: Vive La France

France, 1934. The scars of the Great War still shape the military minds of the Third Republic. Trapped in the past, its generals place their faith in fortifications and defensive warfare, while across the Rhine, a new German army rises, faster, deadlier, and ready to crush everything in its path. Into this world awakens Captain Étienne Moreau, a man who should not exist. He remembers another life, one where France falls in 1940, where German tanks storm through the Ardennes, bypassing the Maginot Line. One where his country surrenders in a matter of weeks. But here, now, he has a chance to stop it. As an officer in the 2nd Armored Division, he fights for reforms: pushing for mobile tank warfare, warning of Hitler’s growing ambitions, and challenging the high command’s obsession with World War I tactics. Yet, his ideas are dismissed as radical, madness from a young officer who "thinks he knows war." Surrounded by political intrigue, military infighting, and rising fascism, Moreau must carefully navigate the system, winning allies among future leaders like Charles de Gaulle, while avoiding suspicion from the French High Command. His knowledge is a double-edged sword, if he is too aggressive, he risks being labeled a traitor. If he does nothing, he will live to see France burn. As war draws closer, Moreau faces a terrifying question: Can history be changed? Or is France doomed to fall, no matter what he does? Time is running out. The Blitzkrieg is coming. And he may be France’s last chance to fight back. -------------- Join my Discord Server. https://discord.gg/jma9zt3eNs I'm writing in a pretty niche genre, so I don't expect a huge number of readers.

Echoes of the Backrooms: The Last Refuge Show

Eighteen-year-old Alex Hayes, obsessed with pop culture, is inexplicably transported to the Backrooms, an infinite labyrinth of distorted realities. Trapped and alone, he discovers he has been chosen by a mysterious System that allows him to livestream his experiences to an interdimensional audience, earning "excitement points" with every reaction. With his face pixelated and his existence tied to this "show," Alex must learn to survive by summoning resources and personnel, from ammunition and medical kits to SCP Foundation Guards and specialized MTF units. What begins as a solitary struggle for survival transforms into the ambitious Echo Foundation: an organization forged by Alex to bring order to the chaos. From a fortified base on Level 0, the Foundation rescues lost civilians, recruits them as explorers, engineers, medics, and scientists, and equips them with anomalous technology. Its power grows exponentially with the construction of the Echo Citadel on Level 10, a self-sufficient metropolis with agriculture, livestock, and limitless energy. But the Foundation's expansion does not go unnoticed. Hostile factions like the fanatical Echo Hunters and the technocratic Iron Order launch brutal assaults, forcing Alex and his army (including the elite MTF Epsilon-6 "Village Idiots" and MTF ARES-7 "Steel Firefighters") to defend their nascent empire in epic livestreamed battles. With each victory, the Foundation uncovers more secrets: artifacts called "keys" that manipulate reality, and the mystery of the "reincarnated," to whom Alex seems to belong. Now, with Dr. Elias Scranton developing a "Reality Aegis" and Dr. Everett King creating stable portals between levels, the Echo Foundation seeks not only to survive but to control the very fabric of the Backrooms. Alex Hayes, the director of his own destiny, is about to rewrite the rules of this universe, one echo at a time, as his show becomes a legend of cosmic proportions.
