Redshirt: The Journey

Freedom and Order.

Peace and War.

Love and Hate.

Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system.

Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands.

The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions.

Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception.

Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains.

Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021).

This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way.

There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do.

I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.
