Silhillian

Europe, 1832. The Roman Empire, having survived civil wars and the fall of their nation has conquered land from Calais to Jerusalem thanks to the discovery of magic in the 5th century. Standing as the last bastion of resistance, the United Federation of Britannia and the Norse Alliance have battled tirelessly for centuries in defence of their lands. In Jorvik, a city in the north of Britannia, a serial killer runs riot as the war runs on. A young messenger named Ed Cidrec, while delivering a package one day discovers a victim of the 'Slayer' and after a message is seemingly left specifically for him, becomes the contractor of mysterious magic that reduces his life to chaos. Amid advanced steam-powered technology and mind-bending magic, Ed navigates the complicated world of war, subterfuge and espionage, while simultaneously trying to survive the onslaught of a powerful organisation trying to obtain the magic thrust upon him.

We called them lurkers, the aliens came to earth. After the first sightings of them were confirmed in the earth's vicinity, governments confirmed their existence to the public. Pooling their resources, the United Nations took the initiative and attempted to make contact. Months went by without any indication our alien observers intended to reply. So, we went about our daily lives as normal, merely waiting for something to happen. The day they decided to make a move marked the start of the apocalypse. Civilisation as we knew it coming to an end and from the ashes, humanity rebelled. Unexplained lurker phenomena metamorphosed human biology, giving birth to a new superpowered group of humans called 'the fractured' 20 years after the chain of events that caused humanities downfall, alien technologies, creatures as well as lurkers themselves pose unprecedented challenges for the surviving population. 'A World Within Reach' tells the story of Peran, a fractured human who woke up 20 years after the day the lurkers attacked to find he was now humanities best hope to turn the tide of human fortune.

A millenium ago, humanity went to war with the gods. The 'Pantheon Wars' devastated the entire continent of Afeuria. Nations led by humanity waged war against nations led by gods. While the power the gods bestowed on their armies was formidable, humanity cultivated new techniques, utilising anima - the life-force of the world. The advent of war gave birth to the magi, soldiers able to weapons anima. It was thanks to the power of these new soldiers that humanity were able to tip the scales in their favour. Forging a new path, an age of technology flourished, but without an enemy, humanity warred among themselves. Lemuel, a magus mercenary, is accustomed to war and unbeknownst to those around him, is a demi-god. His lineage hidden from the world, he lived in peace with an adoptive family until his village was massacred in the opening battles of the war. Amid explosions, airships and riflemen fire, Lemuel uses his exceptional skills as a magus to traverses one battlefield after the other in hopes of taking vengeance on those responsible for his family's deaths. His skills extraordinary, he yearns for the day he can take revenge and finally leave war behind. Until his mission is complete, he causes death and destruction with every battle he enters, all the while hiding his god inherited power and discovering new revelations about his place in the world.
