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?
Jason, Phoebe, and Demila waste no time. The Wordsmith instantly teleports himself and the other two to the opposite side of the Fortress of Retribution. They pop into existence on the northwestern side of the city, not far from the area that leads into the underground training facility. Idly, Jason’s thoughts darken as he wonders…
Several days before, on Tarus II. Life goes on as normal for humanity’s citizens. With the sudden and unexpected conclusion to the Stormbringer Tribunal, a certain air of suspicion lingers, leaving many of Jason Hiro’s most ardent supporters to regard him with concern. His decision to spare Beelzebub’s life may not have come easily, but…
Three hours pass. Vulpanix slowly regains her energy, ultimately becoming capable of moving her body more and more. By the time Creator Demila returns, Vulpanix can just barely walk around in a shaky and trembling manner, though she collapses after only a few minutes of movement. After exhausting her strength, Vulpanix flops into a hovering…
[NOOO!] Vulpanix shrieks. [THE MIND THIEF! NEVER! NEVERR!!!] Terrified out of her wits, the lauded Confessor’s eyes turn bloodshot as she summons every last drop of the power contained within her soul! [NEVER! NEVER! NEVEEE-] Abruptly, Vulpanix completes her last ditch effort, self-destructing the link from her soul to her body. Her vision goes dark,…
Hope Hiro levitates just a few feet away from the high-ranking Volgrim covered in writhing, wriggling human skin. Her calm words violently clash with her hideous appearance. This does not prove easy for him to ignore. As such, he slightly narrows his eyes. "You speak of offering me an olive branch. That’s a line taken…
No longer does Vulpanix hold back. While before she tried to preserve her strength so that she might capture the Wordsmith alive, even if badly injured, now she knows the body before her is nothing more than a false image. What also becomes abundantly clear as she initiates the second phase of their fight is…
Recommended Listening Vulpanix and Hope Hiro remain in the same spot for the briefest of instants. They size one another up, and both of them sneer at the same time. Then they attack. Hope lunges toward Vulpanix at the same time as she rushes toward him. They collide! The ‘invincible’ Wordsmith and his enemy slam…
Both shocked and curious, Hope slowly approaches the statue of Uzziel. It perfectly mimics her original appearance in every way, while at the same time being made entirely out of specially-grown wood. Like a tree grown over time to somehow perfectly form the shape of a living person, Uzziel stands in place, her sightless eyes…
A blinding white radiance batters the Second Wordsmith’s eyes as he steps through the Nether Gate. That same radiance, an all-encompassing light that chases away shadows in all directions, is one he has seen through visions granted to him by Solomon, some months earlier. He immediately winces, recognizing that this radiance is not something that…
Hope Hiro slowly navigates toward the distant, lone speck of magical energy he can sense. During his travels, he places down Waypoints with his Wordsmithing, just in case he needs to make a tactical retreat, or in the event he needs to return to the Moonbase later, among other reasons. As a Wordsmith, his ability…
