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?
Small fires burn throughout the ruins of Hero City. The once-brilliant sights of the Pyramids no longer line the horizon. In their place, only shredded metal and molten bricks remain. A smell of death pervades the air. Jason Hiro consoles Blinker as she continues choking out sobs. The emotional wounds they’ve both suffered have completely…
Tarus II. My home for the past six years. A world where I matured into a man. A leader. This planet has been the place I lived the longest, aside from Earth itself. It carries countless memories of mine. And now… it has suffered irreparable damage. The demons attacked humanity. They used every method at…
Recommended Listening "ONE MINUTE, THIRTY SECONDS TO ATOMIC FUSION!" Centurion bellows in the ears of all humanity’s exosuit-wearing soldiers. Along with Beelzebub’s increasingly pained cackling and the screams of terrified humans, Hero City transforms into a scene of abrupt chaos! "Evacuate the area!" I yell. "Get everyone out of here! Belial, take Phoebe and Daisy!"…
My soul aches. It burns. After suffering from Ose’s unexpected sneak attack, it took me the better part of a day to recover. Had my mind-wife not succeeded in treating my condition with medical drones, I’d have probably ended up incapacitated for weeks, perhaps even a full month. Luckily, that eventuality didn’t come to pass….
Bael falls silent. So do the others surrounding him. The Duke of Pain releases his grip on Ose’s throat, causing her corpse to flop to the ground. Her face appears partially sunken in, though not totally destroyed beyond recognition, while her shattered ribs and broken limbs paint a gruesome picture of a terrifyingly violent end….
At the Eastern Front of Tarus II, a horde of demons stands idly and watches as a distant battle between the Sphinx and a pair of Demon Barons plays out. This wall of demons stays put, keeping out of the battle they haven’t a chance of influencing. They simply decide to wait for their superiors…
Much earlier in the day, at the far edge of the Western Battlefront. "Baaaaael!! You bottom-feeding sludgebrain!" Ose teleports away from the Duke of Pain, leaving demonkind’s strongest warrior punching at the air. Bael mindlessly swings his fists a few more times before finally stopping. "…Eh? Where’d that fella go?" Bael spends the next thirty…
Emperor Ose activates her magic, zipping five hundred meters straight into the air. She narrowly avoids a gruesome death as the five Titans charging her position stomp on the spot where she stood only a second before. Daisy Hiro, still shielded atop the Hydra’s back, easily follows Ose’s movement. Her eyes seemingly lock-on to the…
In the skies of Tarus II, an unimaginably terrifying thunderstorm swallows the horizon. Covering the entirety of Hero City and all of the battlefronts, it swells to more than forty miles wide. Inside, Ose draws energy from the planet’s magnetic field, capturing small amounts of its potential to energize her ultimate weapon, Limitless Demonic Thunder….
Ose’s eyes lock onto the huge, lumbering behemoths rampaging within Hero City’s borders. Despite a distance of several miles separating her from the action, Ose still easily picks them out and observes how the Titans battle against the lone Hydra. What’s going on? Ose wonders. How could Titans appear here? We exterminated their entire species,…
