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 29th, 2021. Sarabiya, Egypt. Men and women looked around in confusion. They remembered little of their past few hundreds, or even thousands of years of life. For some of them, the memories were more tangible than for the others. They could remember some of the acts they had committed. A scant few remembered everything….
January 29th, 2021. Sarabiya, Egypt. Jason levitated above the Sphinx, his cold expression hidden behind the armor that enveloped him from head to toe. The shell protecting him was not a T-REX, but instead a custom seamless platemail-design Jason had made for himself. Since he could wear any clothing instantly, he didn’t need something nanite-based…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Jason sat inside his Sanctum yet again, his legs crossed, his elbows on his knees, his hands folded together, and his head bowed in thought. It was a pose he had become familiar with over the last year or so he’d spent in Aevum. Yesterday, when he assumed this pose, it…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. The next morning, Jason approached his father. Hideki was lounging on the couch again, watching the final episode of some sitcom from the 70’s. "Dad-" Jason started to say, but Hideki quickly raised a hand. "No. Go away. The kid’ll be fine." "Have we had this conversation bef-" "Yup." Hideki cut…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. A few more days passed inside Aevum. Daisy took time to introduce all the new Illuminati initiates to the full world of Aevum, and their eyes nearly burst out of their heads. They couldn’t believe it! How did the Archseer ‘find’ such an incredible hidden realm on Earth? Where was it…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Two more days passed inside Aevum, which amounted to less than 10 minutes in the outside world. Catherine had already been inside Aevum for one real world hour or so, but for the demons preparing to move on Mount Sinai, they had barely even traded potshots with the outermost sentries and…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Jason sat in his meditation chamber within the heart of Aevum. His four Spiritual Incarnations were not present, as he had recalled them back into his soul. He did this so he could maintain full awareness and focus during Catherine’s surgery, but in the end, he still badly exhausted himself and…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. It was Wednesday morning when Catherine woke up. As a Lazarite, she didn’t need to sleep, but the MindCore operation had wiped out her mental resilience. After blearily showering in a fugue state, she collapsed face-first onto the bed in the bedroom Jason had made for her, adjoining the operating room,…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Inside a specially created operation chamber deep within Aevum’s confines, Catherine D’arc sat in a comfortable chair beside the operating table. She stared at Jason expectantly as he manipulated a magical holographic interface. Dozens of tiny little dots were placed all over Catherine’s face and head. These dots were magical nodes…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Weeks passed inside Aevum. These amounted to less than an hour in the outside world. All the while, Jason continued to work with Daisy’s friends, improving the understanding of their abilities. Outside, the slow march of the demons toward Mount Sinai continued. For every second that passed in Realspace, the demons…
