Steel doors rise from obsidian stone. Two silent sentinels wait beneath banners that ripple like silk in the shadows. This is the Vanguard Knights Headquarters, a modern medieval castle hidden in the underground city of Valeria, deep within the virtual world of Soji. Steel and stone blend with glass and tatami. Torii gates and cherry blossoms stand alongside chrome towers and digital lanterns.Light streams down through crystal panels set into the ceiling, casting patterns on tiled walkways and bridge-like corridors. The city glows in fractured colors beneath a shifting digital sky. Shadows move with silent purpose. Eyes watch you, some ancient, some artificial, all measuring your resolve. Your hand hovers, knuckles ready to announce your arrival.This is not a story you read. This is a universe you enter.
You step forward. History bends for those who move first. The Vanguard waits.

About The Series

Sozo Protocol is a story shaped by legends, yet unlike anything before. Inspired by Black Mirror, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and The Matrix, this modern medieval saga puts you at the center of the world. You do not watch from afar. You step inside the adventure.Here, every choice is yours to make. Each moment is a test of your convictions. Technology and tradition collide in the parallel world of Soji, a place where belief, morality, and the meaning of life are questioned at every turn. The story holds up a mirror to modern-day values and dares you to answer the Eternal Question for yourself.This is more than a story. It is an invitation to think deeply, to face your own reflection, and to decide what you stand for.
Step forward. Shape the legend. Seek the truth only you can find.
