I feel like I'm reading the bible, book of Genesis. A sci-fi take on Abel and Cain, with Cain as the main POV, then things turn to the story of Adam and Eve and how they get chase out of the Garden of Eden but they have another person with them. This feel. I don't know how, but that's the feel i'm getting at.
Focusing on the plot, the story from chapter 1-19 is about a top notch soldier, best of the best, the perfect tool, gains conciousness. Like how subordinated are ordered and must obey with no question ask. This is how mc is a soldier and the tof his class. As the story continue he is having this thoughts, even still he holds his duty highest. Although this principle of his gets shaken when his sole friend gets involved, he nonetheless, still hold his duty high.
Should I write up a summary for just 1-19, chapters?
early chapters mc, Luka, shows his unwaivering principle to his duty as well his genius when it comes to combat. he is from an orphanage and his determination stem from his want to reach higher place, and the best place for him is in the imperial guard. he has a friend Ilay, a noble, he has his own wild dreams but must still go with the flow of staying and being an imperial guard because that is what his family wants. in class or among their peers/group, they are top 1 and top 2 when it comes to their power rating? and are always the chosen ones to lead.
Ilay has is own dream and bear little loyalty to the empire, this mc openly gets mad at his friend but this is because mc deeply cares for Ilay.
first mission, they are tasked to eliminate an enemy base. during their assualt, mc let a defenseless kid go, this is against their order of total wipe. Ilay saves mc and killed the kid that mc let go. This is very deep because with mc letting the kid go he is going against order and his principle of holding his duty high. mc trust ilay that he would be snitched. then an actual fight broke loose when a mage appears. mc went up against the mage, 1v1. mc would've lose if the mage didn't hesitate when mc got found out he just a child. during the fight with mage or rather when mc let a kid go, mc also realized the enemy base wasn't an actual base but just a settlement.
second mission, scouting mission, mc ilay as well other few trainees. in this mission, mc gets to know of a noble family that would have wanted mc to be taken in as a bethrothed to a young lady of their house. unfortunately, in this mission only mc and ilay survived. an advanced magic soldier appeared and annihalted the scout team saved for mc and ilay. they would've also been killed if their own superior advance soldier didn't interfere. aftermath, only mc and ilay survived, their advance soldier superior were also killed in action. mc also found a truth about later promoted soldier, they became weapons and can no longer be considered living beings. although mc witnessed a strange thing that happened when their superior, already dead, came up and checked on mc. only when mc mentioned their superior being headless did their superior broke down.
mc then received a visit, it is from a young lady, the one being asked for mc to meet. mc rejects it.
mc sought out help from an instructor who specialized in hand to hand akrashan victema, some sort of fighting technique that low criminal use but it was highly effective since the brain is more utilized. mc gets a master who is very unorthodox with his teaching. first practical lesson, underground brawl coliseum. mc won and somehow gained a lackey, a heavily modified brawler.
later on, mc found out that the hand to hand technique mc is learning is completely useless once he gets promoted and acquires a special body. mc quit but his superior want mc to monitor his master and learn more. mc is also promised to be adopted by their supperior officer in exchange. mc came back to learn more from his master.
mc realizes his master is more than what he seemed but mc is let be. later on, his master had mc go on missions to further his learning. mc also gains a new friend, a mechanical engineer.
mc now have a problem, despite his loyalty to the empire, mc is being infected with something else, empathy. mc asks his friend Ilay to help. Empathy is something he must hide as a soldier of the empire. and this can be found when they undergo a psych test. ilay teaches mc a way. mc owes mc. ilay immediately requests something for mc. mc accepts the request.
mc goes to meet a visit with Ilay, it was the noble lady mc rejected. mc once again rejected her. mc also found out it was Ilay who is in love with the noble lady. mc still owes ilay.
fourth mission, they will be dispatch to go against rebels to the empire. one ofnthe said rebels is the family of the noble lady Ilya has his heart with.
mc talked over with ilay of the many thing that will happen if ilay goes against the empire and mc repeated himself that his loyalty is towards the empire and that even if it's his friend, mc will not hesitate. ilay says he will stay true to his duty. with the teachings he got from his master, mc immediately discern the lies in ilay's words.
day of mission, mc is confused in thoughts. he wants to save his friend and the only way for him to save ilay is if mc himself killed the noble lady and this is without ilay seeing it happening. mc is set to bear ilay's hatred just to save his friend.
mission time, mc leads his own platoon with mc taking the lead and leaving everyone behind. mc is maximizing his use of his technique while also rushing to get to the noble lady first. during a short break, mc got praised for his act as a soldier but was criticize for not being a leader. mc knows this amd accepts his folly.
after a hard battle, mc lets his platoon do a clean up while mc go further. mc did not find both ilay and the noble lady. he himself must reach them. on his path forward, mc notices many casualty both from the rebel group and also men from ilay's platoon. mc criticizes ilay for wasting the lives of good soldier in the name of love.
mc finds ilay and few of the nobles, they were all escaping. ilay readies to fight mc. mc readies to go pass ilay and eliminate the noble lady. after mc killed the young lady's parents, mc got taken aback. mc noticed the young lady smiling. mc mentions this to ilay believing that the young lady is deceiving mc. but ilay still fought back. the battlr between two friends would have started if not for the young lady explaining there is a way for all of them to get away.
mc having his thoughts of an option to be saved of his friend's grudge hears the plan. ilay also on it as well. mc agrees.
during their trek deeper in the installation, ilay explains the situation of the noble lady and that she was relieved of her parents death as she gets freed from the system. the noble lady was supposed to be in arranged marriage and she would have her personality/identity wiped for her marriage partner, fortunately, the empire deemed the inaction of the head of their family to support the empire as treason and just called it a rebellion.
things were going smoothly until they reached the end of their journey deepm it was unfortunate that when they arrived, there were superiors advance soldiers waiting. mc is having a brainstorm of what should happen next until ilay himself shot the noble lady. both mc and ilay got saved and were rewarded as heroes against the rebellion.
afterward, mc had a talk with ilay. mc says ilay is not fit to be a soldier but ilay says he's alreadt in too deep and the only thing for him to go up. ilay plans to have a vacation to his family home to cool off his mind. mc gets a talk with their superior officer, mc got questioned of what happened but mc is ready. after, mc is told to attend an academy as per tradition to send top trainees. mc obliges. mc will be meeting a guide. end of chapter 19.
