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?
Eleven days after the destruction of Serris. In the Milky Way, a series of incredible events begin to unfold in unison, though none of the participants intended for such to happen. Jason, humanity’s First Wordsmith, enters a time-accelerated space with the intention of bettering himself and his abilities. For how long he will remain inside,…
Months pass. Hope and Amelia no longer interact with Solomon as much as they once did. True to his word, Hope stops putting on Solomon’s Crown, becoming less and less trusting of the Knowledge-Seeker’s wiley ways. Like Jason, he too begins to see Solomon in a different light. As for Amelia, she ultimately rejects Solomon’s…
Despite the seriousness of the discussion so far, and despite Solomon’s smooth words, Amelia sobers up and looks the old man right in his pair of spiritual eyes. She crosses her arms and frowns. "Let’s slow things down a bit, Solomon. Your explanations so far are certainly plausible, but I haven’t forgotten that you can…
Hope’s blood turns to ice. He gazes into his fiance’s eyes, seeing the conviction in her stance. "Solomon is lying? About what?!" Amelia gnashes her teeth. "It’s so obvious in retrospect. I knew something was fishy the moment I came to this so-called Hall of Heroes. Surely, you must have noticed too." "I- I don’t…
Over the next few days, Hope becomes more proactive when it comes to the Heroes Solomon introduces him to. The Second Wordsmith doesn’t simply start talking to them, but instead uses the book he made to read up on their powers, their history, and their feats while alive. Naturally, after introducing Hope to Hammurabi, Solomon…
Hope stares in wide-eyed shock at Solomon. The Knowledge-Seeker bows as deeply as his body will allow him, kowtowing like a servant at Hammurabi’s feet. As for the man himself, Hammurabi smiles smugly, clearly pleased that even in death he can still demand his student’s filial piety. Solomon gurgles angrily in his throat, desperately trying…
Three hours pass in the Hall of Heroes. Hope weaves a long tale of his life, explaining to Hammurabi the ins and outs of the modern world, the situation they find themselves in, and how events have transpired until now. He has done this many times now for every other Hero summoned, but none of…
After Hope and Amelia make up, the two of them enjoy a raucous night of love-making, complete with giggling, moaning, and all sorts of lewd noises. The next morning, Hope wakes up feeling a lot better than he has for the past two weeks. Thanks to Amelia’s suggestions, a firmer thought begins to take root…
Two months pass. Inside the Hall of Heroes, Hope continues the task assigned to him by King Solomon. Each day, he picks one of the artifacts at random and experiments with the soul inside, trying to see what sort of effects the Hero contained within can unleash. As half a day passes in the outside…
Some time earlier, in a part of the Milky Way Galaxy hidden from the gods themselves… The Hall of Heroes. Hope Hiro’s greatest construction hovers inside a void of brilliant luminosity: A golden palace of incredible size, capable of comfortably housing the thousand artifacts he seized from the Volgrim. The Hall of Heroes resides within…
