《Marauding Gods (First Draft)》Book 5 Prologue:
Advertisement
Rena, Mother of Dragons. Hailed by mankind for a time as a merciful and human-loving dragon; she was also remembered by humanity as the "Dragon that was made", by none other than the goddess Aina herself.
Ages ago, on a plain, beyond the northern mountainous part of the world, stood a mountain, atop which dwelled a titanic dragon, and at the base of which lived the very first humans.
In her desire to protect humanity, the Mother of Dragons would come down from her mountain and dispel storms or call rain, only to return to her mountain once her task was completed, and only to reappear when her assistance was required.
For hundreds of years, the weak, finite, and frail humanity had seen or heard of their forefathers' legend of the mighty dragon descending from its mountain, an event which, once given humanity the opportunity to witness, all they could do was marvel at its splendid and mighty grandeur.
For the passing centuries, her legends would go forgotten, but each time she would descend from her mountain, forgotten legends would sparkle from ashes and shine again, only to fade and shine again, again and again.
One day, tired of its fear of monsters, humanity sought to seek help from the mother of dragons, but to do so, it had to first reach the mountain summit where the dragon dwelt.
Failure after failure, generation after generation, humanity tried to climb the mountain to its peak, finally, on one rainy night, reaching the top of the mountain and finally obtaining an audience with the colossal dragon, forwarding her humanity's beloved request for her to not live atop her mountain anymore but instead among them.
The dragon acknowledged their efforts. Having witnessed their struggles, Rena answered their wish.
Under her protection, humanity soared into prosperity unparalleled and unrivaled.
Until one day, the madness began.

Everyone knows how the general story is supposed to go. A man, unwittingly going about his normal and ordinary life, is suddenly whisked off to a game style fantasy world where he is expected to become the unwavering hero of the realm. That is until the summoned hero throws a Hail Mary and gets himself transported to a tutorial world before the summoning can be completed. Add in a clumsy goddess and a broken planet and that is just where our story begins... Greetings all, thanks for taking the time to read this. This is my first story here on RRL and it's becomming one of the things I look forward to working on each day. As of June 2020, the story description has been updated (now that the characters have told me what was actually going on this author thought it prudent to update this) . Updates will be sporatic as i have time to juggle real life with writing. You the readers have become an integral part of the story helping to decide how things will progress, so enjoy the story and please leave a review or rating so this author can continue to improve the story. New chapters coming soon with edits to existing ones in process As a side note, I wish I could add a science tag to this. While this is still fiction, I have been incorporating real life scientific theories and explanations for how things could be *plausibly* explained. (No, I will not lecture on these points, but they are added to author notes) ~badw0lf

Origin
A group of college students find the last known warship from the Imperium, which came to Earth and started civilisation millenia ago. They will have to repair the ship, launch it back to space and then decide what to do with it. Will they restore the empire? Explore the galaxy? Or get up to unspeakably hilarious hijinks..... This is my first work, so please comment and critique as much as possible. This work is being migrated from Webnovel to Royal Road cause RR has a muuuuch better text editor and formatting options. I aim to release five chapters a week unless this catches on. In which case I'm happy to increase the release schedule up to 2 chapters a day based on readership.
