Manifest Fantasy

Captain Henry Donnager expected a quiet career babysitting relics at Area 51—until scientists unlock a portal to Gaerra, a world of swords and magic. Thrust into command of Alpha Team, he leads an elite military unit through the gateway with orders to explore and establish diplomacy. To gain footing, they join the Adventurers Guild, where modern firepower proves devastatingly effective against fantasy monsters. Their unorthodox methods—Hellfire missiles instead of spells—catapult them through ranks meant for wizards, drawing both admiration and suspicion. Each quest unravels more of Gaerra’s mysteries, including the origins of the portal itself. But their success attracts dangerous attention from dragons, emperors, and forces who view their technology as a threat. In a world where magic is law, Alpha Team’s greatest weapon isn’t firepower—it’s the choice between becoming conquerors or guardians.
