Soviet Hunters

Alternate History · Soviet SF · Hunter/Dungeon LitRPG story set in the Soviet Union in 1937 (76 SFW sprites)

Voshchev picked up a withered leaf and hid it in a secret compartment of his sack, where he kept all kinds of objects of misfortune and obscurity. 'You had no meaning of life,' Voshchev supposed with a stinginess of sympathy, 'lie here, I will find out what you lived and perished for. Since no one needs you and you are lying around amidst the whole world, then I will keep you and remember you.' - Andrei Platonov 『The Foundation Pit』

Main Characters

• Nastya Chiklina: A redeemed proletarian orphan, and the living proof of the propaganda that "life has become more joyous." A cheerful fanatic who holds an unwavering belief that history is marching toward the future, and that she is someone living for that very future.

• Roza Sharina: A rural girl from Arkhangelsk born with an inexplicable thirst for battle. Styling herself as one of Lermontov's tragic heroes, she lives out her life according to a script of her own making.

• Sasha Andreyeva: A girl born into a clerical family who lost her parents to the Great Famine and returned alive from exile. She is deeply captivated by the asceticism and self-sacrifice of the Russian revolutionary tradition. She never forgives those whose words do not match their actions, and once she turns her back on someone, she never looks back.

• Voshcheva: A woman who believes that in order to accept life, one must first understand the reason for it. Unable to find that answer, she remains largely mired in lethargy. Driven by the belief that death will eventually be conquered and all of humanity resurrected, she collects small, insignificant objects she comes across on the streets.

Setting

• Kotlovansk: A socialist showcase city located in Voronezh Oblast. Population: 200,000. Centered around the world's first Rupture, it was built from scratch on barren land in just a few short years.
