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?
Sangin Lidra’s shuttle races across the Milky Way at Warp 8, a speed most civilian vessels can’t typically achieve. Even the Volgrim, once the complete conquerors of the entire Milky Way, could only afford to keep a few scattered grams of Trifrancium aboard their military vessels, at the upper limit. As for civilians, travelers seeking…
Exolis Whitspur. One of the five Clan Leaders of Clan Dyna. Due to his youthful age, he might not be the highest ranking member, but he quickly rose to power due to his innovative solutions to longstanding technological blockades that plagued Volgrim society for more than a quarter of a million cycles. As such, he…
Sangin Lidra finishes her meeting with the leaders of Clans Victor and Hadron. After they depart, she remains in the office for a moment, deep in thought. Her eyes idly glide around the empty room while she thinks. The Plague continues its advance. I have my tentacles full juggling fifteen different red-level tasks, but these…
Volgarius. Some time before the Stormbringer Tribunal. Hope Hiro continues his mission on the Volgrim homeworld. He forcibly rejuvenates his mind through Wordsmithing, never taking the risk of going to sleep in the middle of enemy territory. Over the course of a full week, he scouts out more than a dozen Psion strongholds, but he…
The world of Numaria. A lush paradise-class planet completely covered in trees with little to no open space anywhere. Gifted to the Hell of Punishment by the Volgrim following the conclusion of the Energy Wars, it has long become Emperor Auger’s home, his sanctuary he never sees fit to leave. Even when the other Emperors…
Unsure of how to react to Demila’s sudden reappearance, Jason finds himself in a bit of a bind. On the one hand, he would love to quickly check and see if he can detect her soul inside her body. If he can’t, then that means it must be inside the underground facility on Planet Mudball….
The Wordsmith’s expression becomes more and more grim. It doesn’t take long before he realizes this facility is far, far more top-secret than he first imagined. Jason follows a batch of 100 Psions after their ‘birthing’ through lightning, trailing the robots that carry them with a wary gaze. Luckily, the newly-created Psions appear too weak…
Jason slowly begins to make his way toward the unknown world below. As he descends toward the ugly mud-ball, he calms his nerves by thinking about his tactical options. I can’t communicate with Fiona remotely. We don’t have any way to talk to each other, not even if she tries to Wordsmith a connection. For…
In front of the entire audience of onlookers, Jason Hiro proceeds to spend three full minutes elaborating on the conditions required for the release of Stormbringer’s perpetrators. Under his logic, if Beelzebub cannot be executed, then Stormbringer’s lesser criminals also must not be executed. However, the Wordsmith will not allow these people to walk free…
Recommended Listening Beelzebub, the Emperor of Hellfire, arises from the bottom of the platform. He levitates a few feet off the ground, an incredulous expression on his face as he gazes at his healed arms. A mixture of emotions washes across his face, all while his captors gaze at him with looks of abject horror….
