About this story
Each year, teens around the country are spirited away to other worlds to fight on their behalf. This department has been empowered to take all necessary action toward their recovery.
Cole had his entire career planned out. Another year in the Airborne, then Ranger School, then applying to Special Forces—until his fireteam was plucked from a war in Syria and thrust into a world of demons with an endless appetite for human hearts. Suddenly, Russian mercs and loyalist fighters didn’t seem so bad.
Barely getting his squad to safety with the aid of an enigmatic government organization, the Department of Otherworld Rescue, Cole gets the opportunity to repay the favor by joining as an elite operative responsible for venturing to other worlds to retrieve stolen children and teens. These dying, desperate worlds run on strange rules enforced by vindictive gods and omniscient systems, and they’re filled with monsters, demons, and worse. But playing in their sandbox lets Cole and his team share in their rewards. Rewards that could elevate even an ordinary soldier into a one man army, if Cole can overcome the challenges each new world brings.
What to expect:
Anti-isekai operators - guns and modern tactics vs magic and monsters
