Well, here goes nothing and hope you have a good read.
Prologue: Cause, Effect and Aftermath
Wisdom Cube.
This otherworldly technology which was bestowed upon humanity had taken the world by storm and the World War was never the same again.
With the Wisdom Cube as the core humanity was able to create…them, Ship Girls – war machines personified as beautiful young women. Not just the appearance, the Ship Girls can feel pain, sadness, happiness, hatred, each even displayed their own unique personality and falling in love. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say they each possessed a soul.
However, they possessed capabilities far surpassed that of human. Be it strength, endurance or the ability to utilize the Rigs – the armament system of their war machine counterpart like a part of their body. Hence, ever since their initial appearance or one could say, their debut on the battlefield, the World War had escalated to unprecedented scale.
Steel behemoths known as warships boasting unrivaled firepower that ruled over and waged war on the vast blue sea now donned the human shell and lived amongst human. Where did this kind of technology come from? Why was it bestowed upon us? Has mankind finally able to play God? So many questions and nary an answer.
But even then, mankind is not God, and neither are Ship Girls. While it's true that they are dreadnaughts that once ruled the sea, their mind and spirit are now that of human. Expose them to the madness of war long enough and eventually they will break. Be it as war machine or Ship Girls, they are pieces too valuable to be used as mere expendable.
Once again, mankind is in need of a solution to put an end to this war. Once again, mankind attempted to play God. The power of Wisdom Cube, combined with the accumulation of mankind's achievement and driven by their own greed, a brew reeks of destruction and madness.
Nevertheless, when all is said and done, the result could be said to be the pinnacle of mankind's knowledge. A war machine unlike any other, a war machine with the power of an entire fleet.
Project Armada.
To win a war waged by human, human themselves must become the monster.
Hello folks, Shiraga here and bringing to you all readers this time is an Azur Lane fanfic. Been rather hooked up with the game since EN version came out so I guess me writing a story about it was just a matter of time.
But honestly, I'm still unsure as to which direction I want to take with this story. Because as you can see, there isn't much lore to this game on the wiki. Although I kinda get the general plot there's only so much you can do in a sandbox with no toy. So, here are some foreword:
1. Since the game is an AU of WWII, this story will be loosely based on that period of time. Meaning there will be some deaths here and there with angst sprinkled on top but that won't be the central point for this story.
2. Pairing as of yet undecided.
3. Some liberties will be taken as to mold the story to my preferrable taste.
4. Prepare for some of the Commanders you've never seen before.
