Description

Mighty abominations and their more powerful gods dance between the galaxies in eternal migration, exploring, experimenting and playing. They leave destruction in their wake, heedless of the suffering of the sapients they slaughter, alter or drive to extinction as they toy with entire star systems for passing amusement. These monsters are called mankind.

They are finally betrayed and defeated, but they cannot be killed. They are diminished and stripped of all memory of what they were, locked in a bottle reality on a false world called Earth.

For thousands of years, mingled shards of their Broken Gods continue to chance across the cage that holds the species of their birth. The shards merge with suitable hosts to create empowered archetypes who awaken to supernatural Gifts and fractured dreams of a lost history. The greatest among them are magnificent heroes and villains: The Vigilante. The Mastermind. The Assassin. The Polymath.

This is the story of their inferiors: The Beggar. The Homewrecker. The Gambler. The Henchman. The Miser. The Monster. Together, they will attempt to save the world, free humankind and escape the Cage. This will probably endreallybadly.

    So, we got an epic beginning in a world that seems to be well structured and interesting to read.
    4 stars on style simply because I think the chapters a bit long and hard to read because of it (never liked reading on the pc for an extended period of time).
    The story starts off slow, with a proper introduction to a very wide cast of characters each interesting in their own way.
    Give this story a go if you want some serious reading material, well thought through plot(so far at least) and a story that seems to be properly structured.
