Ashes & Authority

SYSTEM ERROR: You weren't supposed to do that. What are we gonna do with you? Ryan is a big medieval fantasy nerd making the most out of his little urban life when something happens that upsets his daily routine. A whole lot can change in just an hour, so just how much could change in the time it takes for the modern world to end? The real questions are, how long does that take when the world is invaded by monsters integrated by The System, dungeons start appearing, magic becomes reality, mana suffuses the world and everything within? Especially when anything living or inanimate with enough mana is forcibly assimilated into The System in some way? What happens when that Assimilation gives inanimate objects sentience? What will The System do if you break the rules of the Assimilation? I'm a big fan of Easter Eggs and references to pop culture within media. I love when creators refer to their own separate projects in another work or to their favorite works by other creators. I feel like it's a great way to connect people in a surprising way. Keep an eye out for my own, and call em out if you want ;)) I was originally inspired to try writing again while reading one of my now favorite series, Runeblade. Written by Bacon Macleod, a fantastic author. I highly recommend you go catch it before he gets published and it comes off of RR. But this will be very sporadically updated due to a chaotic schedule, and for that I apologize. I’ll make more effort to become consistent with it if I find that you’re enjoying it! Pinkie promise.
