Space. An infinite expanse filled to the brim with both endearing beauties and unthinkable terrors. In a day and age far beyond into the future, psionically gifted and/or cybernetically enhanced individuals walk the streets as daily citizens. Humanity has succeeded in colonising entire solar systems and yet the inlying faults of humanity still remain. Bandits and marauders roam backwater worlds, where the reach of the human interstellar nations are waning, giving them free reign to do as they please. On top of this, the notions of jealousy and rivalries still continued to persist within humanity as they brought the rivalries and feuds from Earth and into the stars. However, dangerous bandits and warring human nations aren't the only thing to fear in this 'new world.' Humanity isn't the only species to reach the stars. Alien species with queer or odd physicalities and strange cultures threaten humanity at every turn. And far beyond them, there are the Cosmic Horrors whose very existence was enough to threaten entire solar systems. And yet, there was a threat greater still than the Cosmic Horrors comparable to that of Gods. And that was a mere human. A mere human with an idea.

The magical world of Threa is now experiencing a massive change. A new age is coming. The age of the 'gun' has arrived. Weapons of steel that could kill from a distance. However, they were not powered with gunpowder, but with magic instead. The change was so abrupt that the empires and kingdoms of the old World are struggling to keep up, with only a select few pioneers leading the revolution. One of the greatest pioneers of this new age is Maxwell Von Dunnwal. Armed with the knowledge of how to take advantage of this new age, Maxwell sets his sights on world domination. Will the might of the old world be enough to stop the world from falling under Maxwell's control? Or will the kingdoms of old become crushed under the might of Maxwell's military power? "Either way my name will be forever remembered in history." - Maxwell Von Galnus Dunnwal. ... Here's my Discord! https://discord.gg/MDQJvb7 And here is my Patreon! www.patreon.com/Acedus

There are many characters in stories. There those who are good, bad and everything inbetween. Geraldus was not one of these characters. He has no interest for power or honor. He just wants to live. He just wants to live forever. And it does not matter how many lives he must destroy to achieve his dream. (This is a spin-off story take place years before "Lineamentum Chronicle" another one of my novels)
