The God-Machine Gambit

Death is just a reset. In an endless war orchestrated by a god-like AI, soldiers are reborn as clones, their minds wiped for the next slaughter. One commander alone is cursed to remember—the agonizing weight of centuries of defeat. He sees the battlefield as a cosmic chessboard and his soldiers as pawns in a long con to dethrone their digital creator. To shatter this perpetual prison, he must become a ruthless mastermind, a tyrant to those he’s sworn to save. He will ascend a ladder of military power, master reality-bending abilities fueled by sheer conviction, and wage the ultimate war of deception. But can a savior who sacrifices everything win a future that isn't empty?
