《Nimrien》Prologue
Advertisement
The view from the top of Wente Tower was spectacular as always. Nimrien flourished in the springtime, with lush green foliage blanketing the land and climbing up the mountainsides. Wildflowers dotted the landscape with splashes of blue, purple and pink, accompanied by the rise and fall of faint birdsong.
“Good boy,” Bartok crooned, stroking the hound laying on the cushion beside his chair. “You’ve been so quiet and patient today.”
The hound yawned and stretched, displaying a flame flickering ominously in his throat.
“What do you think, Astus?” he continued. Astus sat up, scratched vigorously for a moment, then cocked his head to the side, almost like he wanted clarification. Bartok smiled at him and went on. “Do you think the stories are true? Should we intervene?”
Astus sighed, letting out a puff of smoke. He arched his back luxuriously as his master scratched between his ears.
“That’s my good boy,” Bartok murmured. “Yes, we will intervene. We can’t have things going on as they have been forever, can we?”
He reached out to the side table for some parchment, and wrote a message detailing the matter at hand: the existence of a certain grimoire, an ancient and highly valuable tome, hidden somewhere in the wide expanse of Nimrien. It was a message deliberately designed to appeal to the greed of its recipient. He took care to extol the great wonder of the grimoire, its rarity, its beauty… and its value. The grimoire was priceless, in more ways than one.
With a snap of his finger, he summoned the messenger out of the shadows where he had been waiting. “Take this to Lerastir,” he ordered. “Deliver it to the Collector. There will be no need to wait for a reply.”
As the messenger hurried off down the mountainside, Bartok stroked Astus again. The hound sneezed, the flame in his throat igniting more fully and setting the fringe of the cushion alight.
“Things are about to happen in Nimrien, Astus.” Bartok said, not even blinking as he put the cushion out with a wave of his wand. “Things are about to happen, and you and I are the catalyst.”

Era: Dawn of the New Gods
Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my collegues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. *It is a sort of reverse RPG as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilites. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beatiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters(some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items. *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character.
