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?
Hell Harbor. One week after the Cherubiim attack which left millions of demons dead. Hundreds of noblesse demons, including high-ranking Barons, Dukes from most of the Seven Hells, and their Emperors as well, all gather and sit upon ornately crafted demonstone pews in a wide-open, barren field, where a makeshift obelisk and ceremonial alter has…
Annette sits beside Hope’s bed, quietly watching over the Wordsmith while he sleeps. The hours stretch into days, and visitors come and go, but aside from eating food delivered to her by various medical staff and occasionally saying hello to her sister when Debra drops by, she remains content to sit beside the man she…
Tarus II, inside a makeshift community center where people sit indoors to wind down after a long day. Hundreds of tables sit inside the large, dome-roofed building, while lightbulbs powered by the internal mana and energy of the patrons illuminate the ground below. The air itself glows faintly blue due to the magically-powered illumination, giving…
Jason and his spirit-wife join her physical self and Blinker to walk over to a nearby computer terminal. Despite the data-bead’s odd shape and seeming lack of any way to put it into a computer, Phoebe still figures out how to activate it. She takes it from Jason, holds it near the terminal, and a…
Raphael, Uriel, and Michael all stare in absolute shock at the woman curled up in the corner of the room, her arms wrapped around her legs. Cassiel, apparently known as Heaven’s Daughter, blinks her watery eyes as her gaze flicks between the three Archangels, yet she says nothing. Instead, a look of deep shame appears…
An alarm blares inside the Labyrinth Core. Hundreds of humans, monsters, and demons jump into action, rushing to activate their T-REX armor and take up defensive positions while aiming at the newly-rebuilt double doors leading out of the Core. Powerful restriction magic coats the walls, making it impossible for Mephisto to slither around and pop…
Unlike most of the Seven Hells, members of the Second Hell of Lust do not live on any specified capitol world. Rather, their many assorted Dukes live on the distant reaches of Hell Harbor, while their lower-ranked members live right inside the Labyrinth, where they have ready access to humans and other demons alike. Consisting…
Hell Harbor, at the Hidden Emperor meeting area. Ose straightens her posture and stands upright. She smiles at the other Emperors and Dukes present, of which there are now more than fifty. "So we are in agreement? I don’t want to have to change these plans a fifteenth time. The hour grows late, and I…
Hardly has the battle begun before Satan hurls a truly massive fireball down the pitch-black corridor, lighting it up enough that any observer can easily make out the blackened tendrils comprising Yama’s smoky body. The Emperor of Shadows drops to the floor and compresses himself into a paper-thin form, then slides away, easily evading Satan’s…
After explaining Murmur’s situation, Bael and the Hell of Isolation’s top demons don’t feel much enthusiasm for small talk. Viola glances around the chamber and wriggles her nose. "Is that why you wanted to chat with us in private, Bael? So Yama wouldn’t know you told us?" Bael raises an eyebrow. "Eh? Nah, sister. I…
