Before Komia had shape or name, two divine wills awakened in the Infinite Stillness, Sundrious, the radiant force of creation and order, and Nyxathis, the serpentine embodiment of chaos and change. Their clash created the world itself, but also its greatest horror, the World Eaters, beings that devour reality itself. When Sundrious fell to save existence, Nyxathis shattered his body and forged sixteen Original Dragons from the remains, each bound to fragments of godhood called the Sun Scales. These dragons ruled, warred, and shaped Komia until they vanished.

The history of Komia is defined by three eras. The Primordial Age, The Age of Dragons, and the Era of Mortals

Komia is a vast and diverse world filled with unique races, powerful creatures, and ancient mysteries. Its lands were shaped by the Original Dragons, whose influence still lingers in the world’s foundations. Towering elemental mountains, living forests, and shimmering deserts whisper of lost civilizations and dragon gods long gone. Magic flows through Komia like an unseen river, woven into its fabric and harnessed through divine blessing, arcane mastery, or ancient runes left behind by forgotten ages. Beneath the surface lie labyrinthine ruins and underground kingdoms holding relics from the era when dragons ruled openly. In their absence, mortals, chief among them the Drakari, (dragonkin), have risen to power, forming kingdoms that mirror the virtues and flaws of their ancestors. Some rule with wisdom and order, others with ambition and conquest. Though the age of dragons has passed, their legacy endures, echoing across Komia like an ancient roar that refuses to fade.

Jakari’s eyes burned—one vivid pink, the other black with a white line—heart pounding like war drums. Soldiers lunged, bullets screamed, but he moved like a ghost, disarming, dismantling, leaving bodies crumpled in his wake. Mara’s laugh froze as she saw him, fear cutting through her pride. One final strike, her body collapsed, blood spilling, the room silent but for Jakari’s ragged breaths. He turned, walked past the chaos, pulling the necklace from his pocket and dropping it at Asia’s feet. “We’re done,” he said, cold. She stared, tears brimming, as he walked away.

As we got closer to the Ogre village some of the Ogres began to approach us. "WHAT DO YA HAVE THERE DROKEN?" One of the Ogres asked my father whose name I now know. "THIS HERE BE MY SON, WHO I BE TAKING TO THE SHAMAN TO GRANT THE LAD A NAME." Hearing this I was getting a little nervous. Droken seemed to sense this. "SORRY LADS, BUT THE SHAMAN WILL WANT TO SEE THE BOI RIGHT AWAY." The Ogres moved aside when they heard this, a few of them nodding and grunting in agreement. Droken began to carry me to the large hut in the back of the cave. "DON'T YOU START FUSSING THERE BOI. THOSE LADS ARE YOUR UNCLES, AND WOULD SOONER DIE THAN HARM YOU." As he lifted me up to his shoulder, I looked back at those Ogres and saw them grinning and waving at my curious expression. I turned to look at Droken again and he glanced my way in surprise. "YER A SMART BOI HUH?" His look of surprise honestly looked so funny that I surprised myself by giggling.

In a normal-sized living room, a tiny vintage television sits atop an even tinier side table, looking comically small against the furniture. The screen is locked on its only frequency: The Train Station, broadcasting non-stop footage of locomotives. As the tubes inside warm up, shimmering "scent waves" shaped like pepperoni slices drift into the air, a permanent pizza aroma that no amount of scrubbing can erase. The programming is delightfully bizarre. On-screen graphics transition from the political steam engines of Beltway Fever Dreams to the pastoral vistas of Rails and Cows. After hours, the mood shifts to a dimly lit train car where passengers gaze longingly at heart-shaped deep dish pizzas, proving that on this tiny TV, things get truly scandalous after midnight.

"LET'S GETCHA HOME BOI" As my father started to walk into the forest he spoke to me, thinking that I couldn't understand a word. "YE GEST WAIT 'TILL THE TRIBE SEES YA. OH, THE LOOKS THEIR FACES, YER ONE UGLY OGRE CUB YA KNOW DAT." Despite his thick accent and deep voice I understood my father clear as day. Or should I say night. It was only then that I noticed that it wasn't the sun that lit up the sky but the stars and the moons. *Wait holdup, moons, why are there eight?* "OH, WHAT SEEMS TO HAVE CAUGHT YER EYE LITTLE ONE." said my father as he followed my line of sight. "AH, THE MOONS, YE SHOULD KNOW THAT EACH ONE REPRESENTS THE DOMAIN OF A GOD."

A shadow appeared from behind a nearby tree. *HOLY SHIT* In front of my eyes was a giant, its skin a dark green, its eyes completely black except for yellow irises. Long crooked fangs dripping with saliva filled its massive jaws. Two holes for nostrils sat above it's eyes. Its body was shaped like Hercules if he had a dad bod. Its claws were chipped and stained with blood. Its ears short yet pointy. Its arms were long and its legs were short. *IF MY FATHER LOOKS LIKE THAT, THEN WHAT THE HELL DO I LOOK LIKE* ^I don't know Master, I can only see what you see.^ *Well that's helpful. So, R.S is he going to eat me or what. If so, that would be a huge pile of BULLSHIT.* ^That is unlikely Master for two reasons. One he can sense that you are kin, and two your traits Enhanced Dark Affinity and Monster/Sentient Race Hybrid are making it so that he's more compelled to look after you than to eat you^ *So your telling me, that I have a doting father, that looks like walking shit.*

Darkness. That was all I saw. That was all I felt. Yet, after a lifetime of misery and torment, I didn't fear it. I embraced it. Then a warmth enveloped my body and with it light. As I blinked away my blindness I heard the voice of a woman in a language I couldn't understand. I realized that I was just born. ^RETRIBUTION SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION INTALIZING^ ^10% SYNCHRONIZATION^ ^20% SYNCHRONIZATION^ ... ^100% SYNCHRONIZATION^ ^SYNCHRONIZATION COMPLETE^ ^Hello Master Jack, I am your Retribution System aka R.S and I am here to help you RULE this universe or DESTROY it^ *WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON* ^Master Jack, you died in your previous life at the age of 18.^ *I KNOW THAT, I MEANT WHAT HAPPENED AFTER* ^SATAN asked you some questions and you answered this is the result^ *DO HAVE TO BE SO CALM ABOUT IT*

The ground collapsed beneath Star, slamming her into stone hard enough to steal her breath. Cold flooded the chamber as a crowned shadow descended, beautiful and merciless. Darkness surged into her eyes, her body arching as her tattoos burned and spread, carving something ancient into her flesh. Azrathion stopped the soldiers with one look. This wasn’t corruption. It was inheritance. When Star rose, eyes glowing darker pink, her smile was small and lethal. The world had misjudged her—and it would pay.

The song of the hidden twins, created by the source. Chapter one in this stream! Enjoy its an epic saga

Star sat in silence as money passed through her hands, calm where others would rush. Lives failed her. Fortunes shifted. It meant nothing. Orders were given. Blood was spilled. Empires expanded. When Jakari’s name surfaced, her attention sharpened—not with fear, but hunger. Arkansas was closing. Florida was next.

The feared supernatural event, The Red Snow, drives Stenn and his fellow clansmen into a fight overnight for survival.

I stepped away, alone in the observation bay. Holograms of Jakari’s shoulder hovered in front of me, angles and micro-movements glowing softly. Every twitch, every flare of pain, every subtle adjustment I noted. My heart counted what the readouts couldn’t: his stubbornness, his precision, the way he carried danger like a second skin. I leaned closer, tracing the lines. Not just his shoulder. Him. I sighed, forcing focus back to numbers—but I knew, quietly, I’d always been watching him more than anyone else did.

Stenn Bearclaws' adventure begins in media res. The Cro-Magnon of the Moose Rock clan are under supernatural attack. The Red Snow has come, heralded earlier in the day by a bujant attack.

A man asked the Oracle, "How can I enter the solo roleplay hobby?" And the Oracle said, "Why not hack together a simple dice pool mechanic rules system and run with it?"

Leif Erikson here is our main wheel to get the gears turning in this Alternate Universe

The hallway narrowed. No windows. Red lights bled across steel floors. I moved slow, rifle ready. The server core ahead hummed like a heartbeat. Guards froze, oblivious. One by one, I dismantled them—precision, silence, brutality. Jayla’s voice cut through static: “Jakari, you’re in the blind zone.” I plugged in her drive. Data flooded my HUD—contracts, shipments, assassinations. Alarms flared. I yanked the drive free, heart steady. “Got what we came for,” I said. Jayla’s voice whispered, “I’ve got you. No matter what.”
