No Beast Girl on the Western Front

Warning: Contains depressing themes. Set in a World War I era that is not alternate-history, but a purely otherworldly setting featuring numerous beast girls—yet strangely, no main heroine. Expect grenades, machine guns, trenches, tanks, poison gas, beast ears, barbed wire, and flamethrowers... wait, one of those doesn't belong. This is the grim reality Pine finds himself thrust into after crossing over into another world. In a land where technology mirrors Earth's First World War, his adopted nation boasts hyper-advanced biotechnology capable of engineering beast girls. As the war intensifies, these unfortunate creatures are driven straight to the front lines. Initially, Pine is thrilled at the prospect of commanding an obedient squad of adorable beast-girl soldiers. However, he quickly realizes that no matter how formidable their physical traits may be, they remain mere flesh and blood—utterly helpless against the meat grinder of industrialized warfare. Desperate to boost the survival rates of both himself and his beast-girl subordinates amidst a storm of flying shrapnel and severed limbs, Pine relies on a system tethered to him that is, for all practical intents and purposes, entirely useless. Left with no choice, he must grind through absurd system tasks to earn side cash: "Hey, do you know where Peter is?" Option 1: "He just got roasted by a flamethrower." (+0) Option 2: "What, is he a friend of yours?" (+50) Option 3: "He has already transformed into a good man who burns himself out, radiating light and warmth to illuminate and comfort others." (+200) Pine: "Sigh... let's see what I can buy with this accumulated karma." System Store: One can of chicken—3,000 credits. Pine: "What the hell?! You just wanted to hear me tell a joke, didn't you?!"
