A French former nurse with a heart of gold and an unquenchable thirst for adventure, Trinity had seen the horrors of war up close, tending to the wounded and mending broken bodies. But there was something more haunting, more sinister that she couldn't ignore - the rumors of the undead.

After the war ended, Trinity couldn't shake off the feeling that the horrors she had witnessed weren't confined to the battlefield alone. Whispers reached her ears, tales of strange occurrences in a faraway land - Ukraine. Rumors spoke of the dead rising from their graves, of villages plagued by an otherworldly menace. Trinity's curiosity was piqued, and she knew she couldn't remain idle any longer.

Leaving her life in France behind, Trinity embarked on a journey to Ukraine, driven by her insatiable need to uncover the truth behind the undead. Armed with her sharp intellect, a few weapons acquired during her time as a nurse, and an unyielding determination, she arrived in a land still reeling from the war's devastation.

The Ukrainian landscape greeted her with a mix of desolation and beauty, a stark reminder of the contrasts that existed in this world. Trinity delved into her investigations, speaking to locals, gathering accounts of the supernatural occurrences. With her fluent French, she struggled at first to communicate, but her genuine empathy and willingness to listen transcended language barriers, forging connections with the villagers.

As she ventured deeper into the heart of the mystery, Trinity uncovered a trail of clues that led her to ancient folklore and hidden rituals. She discovered that a secretive cult had arisen, one that sought to harness the power of the undead for their own dark purposes. It seemed that the horrors of war had paved the way for an even darker evil to take hold.

With her background as a nurse, Trinity's compassion and resourcefulness came to the forefront. She worked tirelessly to provide aid to the affected villagers, earning their trust and gratitude. Simultaneously, she honed her investigative skills, piecing together the puzzle of the cult's activities, and the unsettling connection between the undead and their insidious plans.

As the sun set over the Ukrainian horizon, Trinity confronted the cult's leader in a climactic showdown, her heart racing with a mix of fear and determination. Armed with knowledge, bravery, and a deep sense of justice, she fought not just for herself, but for all those whose lives had been touched by the cult's malevolent grasp.

In the end, Trinity's unyielding spirit prevailed. She shattered the cult's hold on the undead, freeing the land from its grip of fear. As the people of Ukraine began to heal, Trinity's journey was far from over. Her experiences had transformed her - a French nurse turned private investigator, unearthing truths both tangible and otherworldly.

Egor Dmitryevich Razov, known as "E.G" to his friends, had seen the horrors of war on the Eastern Front during World War I. Born on a bitter winter day in St. Petersburg on 16 January 1893, he grew up witnessing the slow decline of the Russian Empire. Despite the turmoil around him, he joined the Imperial Russian Army and fought valiantly against the enemy forces.

After the war came to an end, E.G returned to his beloved city of St. Petersburg. The once-grand city was now scarred by the ravages of war and revolution, but E.G held onto hope for a brighter future. He had seen the worst humanity had to offer, and he believed in the resilience of his people.

E.G's experiences in the war had left him with a keen sense of observation and a strong desire to tell stories. He became a journalist, using his words to shed light on the struggles and triumphs of his fellow citizens. With his trusty notebook and pen, he wandered the streets of St. Petersburg, documenting the stories of those who had been forgotten in the chaos of history.

One fateful day, E.G's life took an unexpected turn. He and his squad, a group of fellow veterans, embarked on a journey to return to their hometown on foot. Their plan was to walk the long road back to St. Petersburg, reminiscing about the past and hoping for a better future. Little did they know that their journey would lead them into a nightmare beyond their imagination.

As they trekked through the Ukrainian countryside, they stumbled upon a village that seemed frozen in time. The air was thick with an eerie silence, and a sense of foreboding hung in the air. The villagers, pale and haunted, spoke of a curse that had befallen their land. Rumors spoke of an undead horde, led by none other than the infamous Rasputin, the mad monk who had once held sway over the Russian court.

E.G's journalistic instincts kicked in. He couldn't resist the allure of a mystery that combined the supernatural with the historical. As his squad set up camp, E.G delved into his investigation, speaking to villagers and collecting accounts of the uncanny events that had transpired.

Days turned into nights, and the village's unsettling quiet was shattered by blood-curdling screams. The undead had arrived, swarming the village in a macabre dance of death. E.G and his squad fought valiantly, but the relentless onslaught proved too much. One by one, his comrades fell, until he was the last one standing.

With his squad gone and the undead closing in, E.G realized that he was the only one who could uncover the truth behind this nightmarish scenario. He fought his way out of the village and embarked on a perilous journey to trace the origins of the curse. His quest led him to hidden crypts, ancient texts, and chilling encounters with the undead, all while he grappled with the weight of his own survival.

Through his research, E.G learned that Rasputin had made a pact with dark forces before his death, granting him unholy powers to return from the grave and bring chaos to the world. As E.G pieced together the puzzle, he also discovered a way to undo the curse – a ritual that required immense sacrifice.

E.G returned to the village, armed with the knowledge and determination to end the nightmare. With the ritual's completion, Rasputin's hold over the undead was broken, and the curse lifted. As the first rays of dawn illuminated the village, E.G knew that his journey was far from over. The stories he would tell now held a new kind of darkness and heroism, one that merged history, myth, and his own unyielding spirit.

And so, Egor Dmitryevich Razov, war veteran turned journalist, continued his quest for truth in a world forever altered by the supernatural. With his pen as his weapon, he chronicled the horrors he had faced, ensuring that the sacrifices of his squad and the resilience of humanity would never be forgotten.

#### Meeting with a German Machinegunner "Michael"

Fate has a curious way of intertwining lives, even in the midst of chaos and darkness. It was during a particularly brutal winter, in a small Ukrainian village that had already been ravaged by both war and supernatural forces, that Egor Dmitryevich Razov and Michael Krüger's paths finally converged.

E.G had returned to the village, his investigations having uncovered the chilling truth behind the curse that had plagued the land. Armed with knowledge and determination, he sought to put an end to the undead menace once and for all. His presence, though fueled by purpose, did not go unnoticed by the village's surviving residents.

Michael's unit had been tasked with defending the village against the relentless onslaught of the undead. Battle-worn and weary, they had fought through the long nights, using every weapon at their disposal to keep the cursed horde at bay. Michael's Maxim had become a symbol of hope, a steadfast line of defense against the encroaching darkness.

As E.G delved deeper into the village's history, he began to hear whispers of a German unit that had valiantly stood their ground against the undead. The mention of Michael's Maxim and his unyielding determination caught E.G's attention. The journalist in him recognized the potential for an extraordinary story—a tale of unlikely heroes standing together against an unimaginable foe.

E.G sought out Michael's unit, navigating through the ruins of the village with a mixture of caution and anticipation. When he finally reached the group of weary soldiers, he was met with both curiosity and skepticism. After all, a civilian wandering into a war zone was a rarity.

Their initial encounter was marked by caution on both sides. E.G introduced himself and explained his purpose—the uncovering of truth and the chronicling of events that defied comprehension. As the soldiers listened to E.G's account of his investigations, a sense of shared purpose began to take root.

Michael, ever the pragmatist, weighed the risks and benefits of collaborating with E.G. While the journalist's motives were clear, his knowledge of the enemy and the curse could prove invaluable. The soldiers, too, recognized the importance of their story being told, not just for the world, but for history itself.

E.G's keen observations and analytical mind meshed well with Michael's battle-hardened instincts and tactical prowess. Together, they devised a plan that combined E.G's understanding of the curse's origins with Michael's military strategy. The village, once a battleground, now became a base of operations—a place where the undead's curse could be unraveled.

As the days turned into nights and the undead's attacks intensified, E.G and Michael's bond deepened. They shared stories of their respective pasts, finding common ground in their experiences of war's horrors. E.G's journalistic eye captured the essence of the soldiers' struggle, while Michael's determination gave him the strength to continue fighting even in the face of impossible odds.

Their collaboration bore fruit. Through a combination of E.G's research and Michael's tactical brilliance, they uncovered the key to breaking the curse—an ancient ritual that required both courage and sacrifice. Together with the surviving members of Michael's unit, they embarked on a perilous journey to gather the necessary components for the ritual.

As the moment of truth arrived, E.G's pen and Michael's machine gun symbolized the merging of their worlds. The ritual was both harrowing and awe-inspiring, as the boundaries between life and death blurred once again. Through their combined efforts, the curse was lifted, and the undead horde that had plagued the village dissipated like smoke in the wind.

E.G and Michael stood side by side, their eyes meeting in a silent exchange of understanding and gratitude. Their paths, forged in the crucible of war and darkness, had converged to create a story of resilience, unity, and the power of unlikely alliances. They had not only faced the horrors of their own pasts but had also shaped a future where the truth, no matter how extraordinary, would always find its voice.

##### TGMW, TGMIZ and the Undead Appearance

In the early morning mist of the Western Front, Michael Krüger lay prone behind his Maxim machine gun. The rhythmic thumping of artillery shells and the distant crackle of rifle fire created a grim symphony of war. Clad in his imperial German uniform, he stared across the barbed wire-laden no man's land, his heart heavy with the weight of the conflict.

Michael was a seasoned machine gunner, having survived brutal battles in the trenches. His once-boyish face was now etched with the lines of experience, his blue eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and weariness. His comrades admired his steadfastness, for Michael had proven time and again that he could hold his ground under the most dire circumstances.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the battle cries intensified, and Michael's Maxim roared to life. The chatter of bullets tore through the air, mowing down waves of approaching enemy soldiers. He remained resolute, feeding the hungry machine gun belt after belt, his arms aching from the effort. The night was long, and the toll was heavy, but when dawn broke, the enemy had been repelled.

Months turned into years, and Michael's unit found themselves on the Eastern Front. The bitter cold was a stark contrast to the muddy hellholes of the Western Front. As a veteran, Michael adapted quickly, using his experience to support his comrades as they faced new challenges.

In the midst of this harsh environment, rumors began to circulate—whispers of a different kind of horror that awaited them. Stories of ungodly creatures roaming the night, consuming the living, began to spread through the trenches. At first, Michael dismissed them as mere folklore, a product of war-wearied minds seeking a respite from the relentless conflict.

But one fateful night, as darkness enveloped the battlefield, Michael's skepticism was shattered. A distant, unearthly moan carried on the wind, followed by a chilling chill that crawled down his spine. He peered through the frigid mist, and what he saw defied reason—a group of figures stumbling toward them, their movements jerky and unnatural.

The word spread like wildfire, panic and disbelief rippling through the ranks. Michael's unit stood ready, rifles and bayonets at the ready, as the abominable horde drew nearer. Then, without warning, the undead surged forward, their lifeless eyes fixed on the living.

Michael's machine gun erupted in a hail of bullets, cutting down the advancing ghouls. Beside him, his comrades fought valiantly, desperation giving way to determination. But the undead seemed relentless, undeterred by the barrage of gunfire. The night was long and harrowing, and Michael's hands trembled from both cold and fear.

Dawn finally broke, and the remaining undead scattered like shadows before the sun's rays. The battlefield was littered with the fallen—both human and unholy. Michael surveyed the scene, his mind struggling to grasp the horror he had just witnessed. The line between life and death, between ally and enemy, had blurred in ways he could never have imagined.

As the days turned into weeks, Michael and his unit continued to fight against the undead menace. The war took on a new dimension, a grim struggle for survival against an enemy that defied all logic. Michael's Maxim became a symbol of hope, its relentless fire a beacon of resistance against the encroaching darkness.

Through the trials and losses, Michael forged an unbreakable bond with his fellow soldiers. They were no longer just comrades; they were a family, bound by their shared experiences and their determination to protect each other from the unimaginable.

And so, the machine gunner who had faced the horrors of human conflict on two fronts found himself battling an even greater evil in the heart of Ukraine. Michael Krüger, once a soldier of the Kaiser, now fought not for a nation, but for humanity itself. His journey was one of transformation, from a young man thrust into the horrors of war to a hardened warrior standing against the tide of darkness.
