《Playing Games of Despair》Prologue
Advertisement
Power. Ideology. Resources. The tripartite ingredients of big power rivalry.
For as long as humans have existed, war has torn through Earth. To-date, four nations continued to struggle in constant bloodshed and turmoil. Each had successfully built their nation based on their own version of the truth and created social contracts around their values. Each survived through largely self-reliant means, but it was never enough. They hungered for more power, more resources and ultimately, ideological dominance. With each generation, cultures evolved with history. But the core of human nature remained the same, as nations dug deeper into their ways.
Unbeknownst to the people of this world, a singular almighty being watched over all. Tired of seeing the strife blemishing his creations, God intervened by dangling an opportunity for peace and change:
A grand tournament to be contested by fighters from all four nations. In this battle for peace, there can only be one winner. The grand prize is a single wish to be fulfilled by God himself. In addition, that fighter's allegiance—their country—will henceforth prevail as the ruling ideology in a world free of conflict.
Who would prevail?

Force Majeure: A web novel
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the city press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with essence to power the city in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. Please note this is an edited version of my story ‘city of captives’. It follows a similar structure but I’ve ironed out some of the kinks. If you read that version, much of this will be similar though there are some differences. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less!
