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?
The doors to the Hidden Emperor’s meeting hall fly open, allowing ‘Bael’ to stride in first, followed by ‘Ose.’ As Bael enters, Emperor Gorn rises to his feet in surprise. "Emperor Ose! Duke Bael!" Ose, now inside of Bael’s body, reveals a self-confident smirk. "Hello. Did anyone miss me?" Some of the guests immediately detect…
The atmosphere in the Hall of the Damned turns awkward as the junior acolytes adjust the weight of their feet, shooting nervous glances at one another. The hundred or so human slaves wielding ceremonial daggers, once put in place to spill their blood in a moment of jubilation, now appear relatively useless, given how poorly…
A few hours earlier, elsewhere on Hell Harbor. The Baron of Leprosy, Ozzar, slowly walks through the Hall of the Damned, his skinless feet audibly clinking against the floor. He stands tall and proud, more than happy to identify himself as a valuable servant to the reigning necromancer, Mephisto. Rotted black and red rags stick…
Benjamin Brown silences the meeting hall with a declaration of war. However, what he receives in response are several seconds of awkward silence before Yardrat finally speaks. "I beg your pardon? I was under the impression the purpose behind this meeting was to determine which Hell’s members would ascend to the First Hell in order…
After Fae’s appearance, more than half an hour passes before another group of demons shows up. Surprisingly, when the giant double-doors to the room open, a massive group of half a dozen Emperors, Dukes, and their attendants walks in, with more than thirty attendees in total. Benjamin Brown turns slightly in his chair to inspect…
Hell Harbor. Three short days after the failure of Stormbringer. Beneath the surface of the lush, utopia-like world, in a hidden demonic compound several kilometers underground, in a facility reinforced by a combination of magic and technology, a lavish meeting room sits. This room features a long, rectangular table with seats for up to fifty…
Three days earlier, halfway across the Milky Way, beneath the surface of a certain planet. Hundreds of demons and goblins trudge back and forth between a series of interconnected caves. These demons, low-ranking Burrowers, assist their small-statured monster subordinates in the slow, gradual excavation process of digging down further and further into the planet’s bowels….
Due to the events of Stormbringer, humanity suffers a devastating loss. After well over two of the three million people on Tarus II perish, only half a million remain, with eighty percent of them being human, and the rest a mixture of monsters, along with a handful of allied demons. Three days after Stormbringer’s conclusion,…
Jason Hiro sits beside his wife while she bursts into tears. The news of her daughter’s death hits her harder than even Jason could have imagined. She sobs and weeps while enveloping him in a pained hug, revealing a level of emotional distress nobody has seen from her in all of her life. Compared to…
Half a day passes. Jason Hiro and his remaining allies tentatively gather together to assess their situation. In total, they find that of the three million allied humans, monsters, and scattered demons who joined together at the start of the Stormbringer War, less than half a million remain. Of those who survived, some four hundred…
