In the realm of Aeilierion, Queen Orelia's dominance and control over the land was absolute. Born into nobility, her lineage imbued her with an innate sense of power and authority. From a young age, Orelia displayed a keen intellect and ruthless ambition that set her apart, swiftly ascending through the ranks of the court through calculated manipulation and a web of strategic alliances. When the time came, Orelia seized the throne with an iron grip, her coronation marking the dawn of an era defined by her absolute rule. She governed with unwavering command, her very word carrying the weight of law. But it was her mastery of the spoken word that truly made her formidable... more>> - her voice, smooth yet razor-sharp, held a hypnotic sway over all who heard it, bending others to her indomitable will. In her court, Orelia was a force to be reckoned with, her presence demanding obedience and respect. Those foolish enough to defy her swiftly faced harsh consequences, for the Queen tolerated no dissent. Beneath her regal facade, however, lurked a darkness born of insatiable ambition and unfulfilled desires. Though she projected confidence, doubt threatened to consume her at times. But Orelia refused to show weakness, instead channeling her inner turmoil into an ever-intensifying thirst for dominance. Her first target was the legendary assassin Malketh Alazorious. Through dark sorcery, Orelia stripped Malketh's soul from his body and bound it to a warforged construct, subjugating his will to her own. Now little more than a weapon in Orelia's arsenal, Malketh was sent on a bloody campaign of conquest across the plane of Eternum. First to fall was Sanctum Forge and its king Arkhonen, slaughtered by Malketh's cold, arcanometalic hand. Blood spattered the walls as screams echoed through the halls. From there, an unrelenting path of destruction was carved - the great repositories of Sanctum Eternus burned to ashes, the brilliant spires of Sanctum Progressus systematically annihilated by weaponized onslaught. The lawless Dross Sanctum fell to Malketh's overwhelming force, its scrap-born gangs powerless against his merciless arcanometalics. Even the treacherous tangle of The Maze, rife with predators and killing underbrush, could not halt Malketh's rampage, leaving a scorched path of desolation in his wake. At last, the holy sanctuary of the Basilica of Fallen Tears was profaned, its fanatic demagogues helpless before the Queen's unholy wrath. The screams of the innocent filled the air as Malketh destroyed everything in his path. But Malketh's path of conquest was not to end there. He was brought before Urabrask, the very embodiment of freedom, who promised to return self autonomy - at the cost of his memories. In a final, gruesome act, the newly-named "Church" brought Urabrask before the Empress Orelia and slew her in a frenzy, blood covering his metal frame as he tore her apart. Fleeting fragments of his torment flashed across his consciousness only to be torn away, leaving him an empty vessel. As Orelia's lifeblood pooled at Church's feet, Urabrask kept his bargain, stripping the last shreds of memory and naming the former assassin the Grand Artificer of the newly-conquered Sanctum Forge. And so the reign of the domineering Queen Orelia came to an end, slain by the hand of the very weapon she sought to master, who now stands reborn - a soul freed from its shackles but bereft of the past that forged it.

It is a world nearly controlled by the necromancer, Grymr, who extends his power over the remaining kingdoms. The cruel butchery of his undead Gravers and the trapped spirits of his unfortunate victims give the necromancer an advantage as he sends his forces against the last bastions of the old world.
The last fortress island of Charax remains independent of the necromancer. However, the decrepit kingdom holds the Nalith, a sacred object sought by Grymr and the ultimate goal of his control. Unfortunately for those inside the fortress, like the society inside, the walls are just a crumbling symbol of a grand past. Strict social and economic stratification bring misery among most of the population.... more>> However, it allows the Chara clan to control the island using the help of pirates who dominate the waters.
Like many trapped in the decaying society that waits for the necromancer to overwhelm the island, Hilko hates everything about his world. He is a nobody with only a single friend who doesn’t know of Hilko’s ability to see and talk with ghosts. When the quick-witted smuggler takes a job with the encouragement of his female friend, Silna, they steal a royal artifact called the Nalith. However, he soon learns that the object holds a power that gathers spirits and can help one foresee the future.
In a forced journey of escape and discovery, the smuggler fatefully decides on a path for him. Can Hilko use the power of the Nalith to escape his fate or change his world?

"In the bustling city of Lumina Prime on the planet of Primitia, a pod of humanity seeks sanctuary from a galactic rebellion, only to face a new threat - a demonic invasion. Led by the determined Lysandra, humans and neighboring civilizations unite to defeat the malevolent demon lord, banishing him from their world. But victory comes with a sinister twist - some demons remain, masquerading as impostors, consuming identities to infiltrate human society. Yes, there are literally sussy impostors among us.... more>>

Enter Vernadette, a vigilante driven by grief and fuelled by vengeance. Haunted by the loss of her parents to the demon horde, she roams the city's shadowed alleys as the Scarlet Serpent, determined to purge Lumina Prime of its demonic infestation. But her solitary crusade yields little progress, and as hope fades, she finds herself at a crossroads. She's literally just like me(Batman) fr.

Damien, a downtrodden mobster trapped in a downward spiral, stumbles upon Vernadette's path amidst the chaos of a demon assassination. Their fateful encounter ignites a spark of purpose in both souls - Vernadette, seeking a way to pierce the veil of darkness shrouding her city, and Damien, yearning for redemption in a life marred by regret and betrayal. He's literally just like me(Loser) fr.

Bound by circumstance, Vernadette and Damien form an uneasy alliance. With Lumina Prime teetering on the brink of chaos, Lysandra grapples with the looming threat of the Impostor Epidemic. As tensions escalate and loyalties are tested, the fate of the city hangs in the balance.

As Vernadette's relentless pursuit leads her closer to uncovering the truth behind the impostor epidemic, she must confront her own demons and reckon with the consequences of her actions. With Lumina Prime hanging on the edge of chaos, the looming threat of Jerma, the demon general turned renegade, casts a shadow over the city's fate. Can Vernadette and Damien unravel the sinister machinations of Jerma before it's too late, or will Lumina Prime succumb to the darkness that lurks within?"

Okay guys, that's the synopsis. Now, we ball.

Sussy Baka Impostor Amogus Jerma. I know, brain rot writing style before GTA 6 fr. But yeah, all this, inspired by the whole sussy wussy Jerma impostor. Not like, copying events like Among Us games and that, just the elements of "impostor amogus" and names like Jerma will be incorporated, but generally, it's a story of its own. Btw, the name Jerma is from Jerma, but in no way represents him. Jerma fiction here is different from Jerma real fr, it's just names that are similar not their personality. I'll be making YouTube videos explaining our thought process soon, just search "The Ordinary Observer" then look for Yapping Sessions. So yeah, tune in, and that video will go live once the first chapter is published! Also, my boy, Rob, incredible work, great characterization. Him and I are in charge of the characters and dialogue, T.O.O. handles the plot. For parts that are serious, fr, and ong, that's all Robert, everyone. Amazing work from my boy, actually. Made me tear up sometimes especially on the Maverick mom part which was really tragic, but enough of that, LET'S START THIS ALREADY DAMN! Now, I recommend that you turn off your brain and just enjoy the story we want to tell :D

Also, vices aren't cool and they are very bad for your health. Do NOT imitate the people smoking in the story, very bad. If you already have a nicotine addiction, I recommend you lessen until you stop. Also, any gory subjects and pushy issues, don't do that in real life. They're there only to intensify the story, an artistic choice, and to make a statement that we are not playing HAHAHAHA
