The Apostles of the Improbable One

The flames of war are rising across the world of Aelkris, devouring everything in their path. Some flee from the coming storm. Others choose to walk beside it, believing power is the only path to survival. One truth has become clear to all: Either stand in the shadow of the new Emperor of Arier, or be reduced to ash beneath his advance. Never before have the many races of Aelkris witnessed such terrifying power. A power said to bend reality itself. No Sorcerer King of the past has ever come close to his might. To his followers, he is the symbol of mankind’s supremacy on the continent of Baylon. Rudas Iskarion, the leader of the chosen people and the vanguisher of the forsaken. But what is the true source of his power? Is it supernatural… or something else entirely? Against this rising tyrant stands an unlikely figure, a disgraced sorcerer, branded a coward and traitor by the very people he once served. Now punished with imprisonment within Fort Iskon, his future seems all but sealed. Yet fate intervenes. Through an unlikely escape, he encounters a mysterious figure known only as the Improbable One, along with those who devote themselves to his teachings. Through them, he begins to witness truths that defy magic, reason, and everything he once believed about the world. Truths that may either save Aelkris… or bring about its ruin. Though much remains beyond his understanding, one thing becomes certain: The one he has chosen to follow is not of this world.

Gods fall and mortals rise throughout the endless eternities of existence. Countless beings, divine and mortal alike, struggle ceaselessly for the ultimate prize, the power to rule, to dominate, to be Supreme. Across the infinite realms, the cycle of ascension and downfall repeats without end. Yet, in the far reaches of creation, an infant world is awakened. From this world, a single champion will emerge, destined to challenge the ways of old and rise against the combined forces of all existence itself. Since the dawn of time, and even before the birth of creation, one rule has reigned above all others: the absolute might of the System. It governs reality, binds every being to its will, and shapes the flow of existence. None among gods or mortals have ever dared to defy it. None have even imagined a world beyond its rule. Samael faces the end of the world. He does not cower. He does not fear the end. He embraces it. Having lived a life of solitude and escape, he has nothing to lose in this new world. His only goal is revenge on the people that took his father from him, and this apocalypse is more than it seems. The Guild, the organization behind his fathers death, has been hunting him for as long as he can remember. He had to survive, even as a small child, alone in the wilderness. Now he has the chance to use his cultivated skills for a different purpose. To use the gifts provided by the System to grow into a being of unimaginable power. The only question is; will the take the leap into the unknown…
