In SerialICOMO ODYSSEY Sci-fi Adventure Virtual Reality Drama Slice of Life Psychological
Jonathan Vélo never expected to be famous. Not for riding his bike all the way around the continent of Icomo.
Every adult knows his story, and children learn about him at school. This, however, is the first and only biography written about that great man with foreigners in mind. We, his biographers, imagine they will be immensely grateful.
Of course, readers will find the people of Icomo an unusual sort for glorifying a young man who did nothing more than quit his job and ride his bike from town to town, city to city… But in an age of robots and computers, when little escapes the notice of the historian, there is a quiet epic to be told.
It is the epic of cozy nights in a tent below the stars, of warm wind and ocean waves. It is also the epic of missing old friends in faraway places, and that feeling of needing to make life mean something.
***
‘ICOMO ODYSSEY’ is a nostalgic slice-of-life adventure about a utopian sci-fi land. No clever villains or epic fights here. Just cozy pleasures, charming towns and villages, interesting cultures, and the people who live in them…
This story will update bi-weekly on Friday and Saturday.

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ???

At the culmination of a galactic conflict, an experienced sergeant is once again deployed on the battlefront. After a series of events, he perishes and awakens in a foreign body, far stronger than he could have imagined, where the laws of nature as he knew them have ceased to exist. But in this primitive world ruled by kings and monstrosities and magic, two forgotten terrors are emerging. The Elven King in the south has assembled an army and seeks to establish a new age, while in the north stirs the ancient corpse of the White King and his desires to plunge the realm into an eternal frost. But then these seemingly undefeatable powers make a grave mistake. They assail the reincarnated vampire lord. And they find themselves facing a greater terror than anyone could have imagined—Reith Lornhart.
