Conquering the Stars with the Undead
“You shall command… Legacy.”
Charon thought he would grow up to be a hero, a savior, a shining light for all humans across the galaxy.
But humanity is at war.
Beset on all sides, their empire is standing only through the combined forces of technology and magic. Massive mechs were constructed, the fabled Colossus Machines, designed to defend the galaxy. The Mages were rallied, bringing forth elemental destruction.
Yet it wasn't enough.
Planets fell, their people enslaved to the enemies of mankind. Even the Colossus Machines, strong as they were, could not keep up.
Charon was one of the orphans caught in the war effort, surviving through determination and courage, earning him the gaze of the God of Death.
Gifted with a great and terrible power, the reviled element Soul, the dead around him suddenly become gateways into a realm thought lost to time. Through it, he can chain undead beasts to himself, forcing them to serve in his legions.
With these powers, he learns something new about magic and technology: He can fuse souls into the Colossus Machines, allowing the power of Death to run through their cores. They become warped, twisted machines of vengeance that earn malevolent abilities.
They become strong enough to win a war.
Magic and machine are mixed to create something more, something darker. An army fit for a master of magic, a general of legions, a conqueror of the stars...
An Archon of Death.
**WARNING**
The story has a lot of nuance and subplots. If you like complex world-building and lore, you'll love this.
