A young man named Jason Hiro is depressed and feels as if his life is aimless, thus he volunteers to enter a cryogenics program so his body will at least be useful for science. He wakes up 100,000 years in the future, only to discover that humanity has gone nearly extinct, the humans who remain are all slaves, and the slave masters are the Demons. Humans are nothing more than chattel for their new overlords.
Demons now rule the galaxy, but Jason discovers he has a unique power called Wordsmithing, a magic which descends from the legends of King Arthur and Solomon, one that can rewrite the fabric of reality based on his imagination and cast by speaking a single Word of Power. Will Jason be able to uplift and save humanity? Or will the forces of evil prove too powerful to overcome?
January 19th, 2021. 8AM. Portland, Oregon. The receptionist at Cryotek, Leeta, sat down to type up a manifest report on all the visitors from the day before.

January 15th, 2021. Midnight. Moscow, Russia. While Jason and Hideki went on a sort of spiritual father-son journey, a young woman silently materialized on the southwestern outskirts of Moscow, far out in the countryside several kilometers from the city center.

January 16th, 2021. Noon. Illuminati Haven. Three hours passed.

She couldn’t help but direct sneaky looks of jealousy to her cousin, who didn’t have to suffer the…
January 16th, 2021. 9AM. Illuminati Haven. Jason walked with both of the Rothschild descendants beside him, Claire rolling in her wheelchair on his left, and Victoria on his right.

January 16th, 2021. 8AM. Illuminati Haven. Claire Rothschild sat in front of a series of computer monitors, gazing with cold eyes at recordings of a major event from two days previous.

January 15th, 2021. Noon. New York City.

As he exited, a valet walked…
January 15th, 2021. Noon. Boise National Forest, Idaho. A few hours passed.

Her distinctive red hat with a bright red star…
January 15th, 2021. 8AM. Boise National Forest, Idaho. Jason screamed. A thousand images roared into his brain. Flashes of events that played in and out of sequence. He remembered his original life.

January 15th, 2021. 7AM. Boise National Forest, Idaho. As he left the log cabin, Hideki donned his mask once more.
