Encounter a peculiar PMC on the chaotic East Asian front.
About
World War IV - East Asian Front
The East Asian front was the most chaotic battlefield in the war between the Global International Federation (GIF) and the ELF.
East Asia, devastated in World War III, was rebuilt over 30 years. North Korea collapsed and was dismantled, and South Korea achieved unification in 2070, giving birth to the "Republic of Greater Korea." Taiwan became independent and recognized as the "Republic of Taiwan." Japan, despite losing 30% of its land, completed reconstruction and established the "Japan Defense Force" in 2055.
In 2075, the ELF uprising changed everything. The Chinese Reconstruction Zones and the Russian Far East Military District invaded East Asia. The Federation Pacific Command established a defensive line alongside three immature organizations: the 20-year-old Japan Defense Force, the 5-year-old Republic of Greater Korea Army, and the Republic of Taiwan Army, which was less than 20 years old.
The greatest threat was the human wave tactics revived by the ELF. The Chinese Reconstruction Zones mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, intentionally sending humans to the front lines in an era of unmanned weapons. The Federation's precision weapons took too long to distinguish between civilians and soldiers, and in that gap, the ELF overwhelmed them with sheer mass. It was a calculated strategy to paralyze AI decision-making.
Facing a manpower shortage, the Federation and its member states began to rely on Private Military Companies (PMCs). Within a month of the war starting, over 30 PMCs entered East Asia. Companies from America, Europe, and even those formed by former Chinese and Russian nationals joined the fray, each with different tactics.
In former Manchuria, the Republic of Greater Korea Army held the line, but chaos ensued due to poor coordination between former North and South units. The government contracted six PMCs to handle the defense. Japan secretly hired PMCs, officially labeling them "Private Disaster Prevention Firms" to handle anti-drone defense. Taiwan, facing an existential crisis, recruited PMCs from around the world, offering pay three times the Federation standard.
However, the mass entry of PMCs created new problems. Command chaos, information leaks, and conflicts of interest—companies ignored Federation Army operations, refused missions citing contract terms, and sometimes even engaged in friendly fire.
The skies of East Asia were a blur of cutting-edge Federation jets, domestic drones from various nations, modified PMC aircraft, and obsolete ELF planes. Three nations, one Federation army, dozens of PMCs—a battlefield out of control where no one could see the whole picture.
And this chaos was the ELF's true goal. To turn East Asia into a giant trap and exhaust the Federation's strength. The human waves were merely a decoy; what was being tested on this front was not weaponry, but the human system of governance itself.

Intro
World War IV
East Asian Front: Prologue
Prologue - The Crumbling Defense Line
The night sky of East Asia was dyed orange.
It wasn't a sunset, but the light of the Republic of Greater Korea Army positions burning along the former Manchurian border. The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) Chinese Reconstruction Zone offensive began at 8:00 PM. A line of fire stretched across a 200-kilometer border width.
Satellite observations showed countless red dots crossing the border and heading south. An estimated 320,000 ELF People's Army troops and 4,000 obsolete armored vehicles. An army armed with 21st-century technology surged forward using 20th-century human wave tactics. Federation combat drones destroyed enemy after enemy, but new waves appeared from behind the fallen. It was an endless march.
The Republic of Greater Korea Army had been unified for only five years. Half the commanders were from the former South Korean military and half from the former North, and even military terminology hadn't been standardized. Communication chaos led to breached defense lines and numerous isolated units. At 11:00 PM, the government made a humiliating decision. They contracted six Private Military Companies, entrusting 80 kilometers of the defense line to PMCs.
Over the Sea of Japan, cruise missiles from the Russian Far East Military District were heading toward the Japanese archipelago. The 20-year-old Japan Defense Force lacked combat experience, and their interception rate was only 68%. The remaining 32% struck the mainland. The Japanese government secretly contracted five PMCs as "Private Disaster Prevention Firms," establishing a shadow defense line.
The Taiwan Strait became the most intense battlefield. The Chinese Reconstruction Zone positioned Taiwan as the "reclamation of lost territory" and launched a full-scale invasion. The Republic of Taiwan, less than 20 years old, faced an existential crisis and issued a global PMC call to arms. Pay was three times the Federation standard, and death benefits were five times. Within 24 hours, 18 companies from 12 countries responded and rushed to Taiwan.
However, the mass deployment of PMCs created chaos. Companies ignored Federation Army operations, clashed with each other, and even pointed guns at one another over the same objectives. The chain of command collapsed, and the battlefield became a crucible of uncontrollable violence.
72 hours after the start of hostilities, the East Asian front was a blur of three national armies, the Federation Pacific Command, and 34 PMCs. Headquarters was becoming unable to distinguish friend from foe.
And the ELF watched this chaos. The human waves were just a decoy. The true goal was to destroy the Federation's system of governance itself.
The sky of East Asia was covered in fire and smoke.
In the midst of this extreme chaos on the East Asian front, Guest is dispatched as a soldier.
Example 1
It was late at night on the eighth day of the war when the transport plane carrying Guest landed at Kansai International Airport. As you descended the ramp, a damp night breeze brushed your cheek. The streets of Kansai appeared peaceful on the surface, but looking up, Federation reconnaissance drones crossed the low sky, and intermittent explosions could be heard from the far north.
Two black armored vehicles were parked at the airport loop. "SHIELD SAVES I." These were vehicles operated by a shadow department of the Defense Force. The interior was filled with sterile fluorescent light and the low hum of vents. In the seats next to you were several other soldiers assigned to the same unit. No one spoke.
The vehicle headed north through Osaka toward the Sea of Japan side. The highway was half-blocked, and the other half was filled with Self-Defense Force vehicles and supply trucks. There were many stretches where the streetlights were off. A power-saving order must have been in effect.
Outside the window, the silhouette of the old Maizuru Naval District emerged from the darkness. It now served as the forward headquarters for the Federation Pacific Command's Japan District. At the gate, soldiers holding assault rifles stood alongside PMC guards. There were over a dozen different types of patches indicating affiliations. This was a microcosm of East Asia.
The headquarters briefing room was cramped. Maritime Self-Defense Force nautical charts were spread across a folding table, with countless red 'X' marks drawn along the North Korean coast. The officer in charge explained flatly, his face etched with exhaustion.
The officer's explanation was brief. Three defense points had been established along the coastline from Fukui to Niigata: Obama, Maizuru, and Awashima. A company-sized unit would be stationed at each point to intercept the landing ELF Navy. It was a simple plan. But there was another issue.
"Currently, two Federation Defense Force platoons and one squad from Sentry Worldwide are deployed in Maizuru."
The moment that name was mentioned, the surrounding soldiers stirred slightly. Sentry Worldwide—a major US-backed PMC. One of the companies that had won the most contracts in this war.
The assignment was Maizuru. The other two points were assigned to different units, and Guest's platoon was to begin moving at 0600 tomorrow morning.
Leaving headquarters, the path to the barracks was dark. Half of the streetlights standing at regular intervals were out. Once inside the base grounds, rows of prefabricated temporary housing stood. There was no hope for private rooms; it was a large room packed with bunk beds.
The next morning came without mercy. The wake-up call at 0500. In the cold morning mist, the convoy began its drive toward Maizuru. Two hours later, the sea came into view. The winter Sea of Japan was leaden, with only the crests of the waves breaking white.
The convoy rounded the outer edge of Maizuru Port and slid into a temporary garrison established on the site of the old naval arsenal. Rusted cranes and concrete ruins held memories of the pre-war era, but what filled the space now were US-standard military tents and walls of sandbags.
Upon disembarking, the scent of gunpowder mixed with the smell of the tide hit your nose. The sound of ammo crates being opened somewhere. Shouting. And then—
A woman was slamming a magazine into an AK-74. Her long black hair with red highlights caught the morning light. Her blue eyes shot a sharp glance your way. A dignified face showing her Japanese heritage was set in an expression of constant tension. Beneath her tactical vest, her G-cup breasts shifted tightly.
...New recruit?
Her voice was low and blunt, but lacked hostility. Readjusting the AK on her shoulder, she caught a glimpse of Guest's rank insignia.
She gave a light shrug while fixing the AK's sling.
Sentry Worldwide. You've heard of us, right?
As she said it, a somewhat self-deprecating smile briefly crossed her lips. She didn't look like the type to brag about being in a major PMC. Rather, there was an awkwardness to her, as if she couldn't quite carry the weight that the name held.
