So recently, I read web novel about technological gap. Be it backwater medieval-themed isekai with magic and stuff and the MC imported science and technology from modern Earth, or maybe the MC time travelled back to the ancient times and bringing modern day concept and technology. Some build his own kingdom and reigning as a king, some served the local king because he's not that OP. Mostly in this story, the MC who posses modern mindset and knowledge has the upper hands against the native of that time.
But let's talk about the exact opposite of that. Let's talk about ... what if the Mongols led by Temujin, or most notably known by the name Genghis Khan, found a spacetime tunnel somewhere in a cave near Ulaanbatar, and invade the future earth?
Indeed, it won't be an epic battle because they're just some horse-mounted cavalry while we have tanks, copters, and a batch of F-22 over here. The technological gap is still the biggest obstacle to overcome ... and yeah, they'd be death in a blink blown up by howitzer's missile. But ... that doesn't mean they can't make some trouble first, right?
When writing this thread, I recalled Gate and ReCreator anime. The Gate has the inhabitant of isekai 'invade' the modern day Japan, at first it was panic attack because suddenly amid bustling metropolitan area of Ginza, there's an army of hideous demi-human footmen, sword-wielding armor-wearing cavalry, and DRAGON! And then there's the Re:Creator ..., the concept of this anime was to summon a bunch of characters from manga, anime, and game into the world. As there was no hidden magic society on earth(at least in that anime) it was incredibly hectic when there's a little girl flying above the sky and could take down a helicopter with a single magic spell. Come to think of it, Fate franchise also done that ..., summoning of hero in the past. But no, I'm not talking about a single individual who is too OP because the power of exaggerated history. I'm talking about an army, an army from the past.
Let's head back to the topic at hand ... the Genghis Khan and the Mongols!
If there's a day, when a Time Gate suddenly appeared in your city plaza, and the Mongolian Cavalry of hundred thousand strong flooded and ransacked the peaceful Sunday car-free day ..., how much the damage and casualty could this army from the past caused before the military could provide an assistance?
Or, let's stretch this scenario a bit further. What if it was not the Mongols, what if it was the Roman Legion, or the Macedonian, the Spartan, Persian? Or maybe combat magician corps or something from isekai invaded the modern day earth?
I'm kinda curious about that.
Currently, I'm racking my brain on how to writing counter-isekai with an inhabitant of isekai got summoned into modern Earth. I thought it was such a piece of cake, but no ..., it's not. I must establish that world(the isekai) first from scratch and then put my mind into the character before I throw him into earth. And it is very difficult, at least for me. I've read some regressed, reincarnated, or transmigrated from CN cultivation novel who come from cultivation world then got into modern earth ..., but that's not what I'm looking for, they're too OP for good after they've done with their cultivation thingies.
What I want is struggle ... a bitter struggle and horrifying battle. So, I made an alternative and simplify the premise, that is a past warmongering tribe who got time-travelled into the future. Please give it some thought.
