Wildfire: The Flame that Ate the World
Living a rather mundane life, William Sigerson, a rising detective, finds himself tangled in a secretive mastermind's scheme to bring destruction to his world, changing his life forever. Wrongly framed as the culprit while investigating the crimes, he must first escape the clutches of the Enforcers, before leaving his country to form his own counterattack against the enemy.
Unfortunately for Sigerson, the opponent he's up against is far beyond his expectations. Alliances snap, war erupts, and chaos takes over the world, as he struggles to adapt to the constant fighting between countries with rebels and smaller criminal gangs all struggling among themselves to gain power for themselves.
Zeppelins fly around like giant balloons, wreaking havoc. Steam-powered war machines shred through towns with ease. Soldiers ravage through the once peaceful lands of Ecclesia and Revalty alike, destroying towns and cities as the leaders of both countries go back and forth in the war, exchanging blows like chess pieces.
Seeking shelter in a neighbouring country seems safe... until he finds out that everything had been planned from the beginning in order to trap him there. Even the Church has its own motives, pinning the detective down to prevent him from interfering with their nationwide propaganda.
To defeat the demon pulling the strings, he must change his mindset to win. To dominate.
Even if it means becoming a demon himself.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
A smart MC who doesn't act like a genius in one scene then finds himself outsmarted by a toddler
Strategy. A lot of it. In fact, most of the story is actually one large scheme made up of tinier strategies.
Worldbuilding. I'll try my best to provide as much detail and backstory on the different countries mentioned in the story.
And lastly, battles. If you like battles with alliances, betrayals, and tactics, then read on...
