Welcome to this story, a one-shot serie of a dieselpunk/fantasy/steampunk set in an alternate reality, in 1921. Please this description until the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1916. World War 1. Verdun. It's 6am in the morning, and hell is unleashed, shells are fired, and dozen of men die in less than a minute as the world turn fire and brimstone. Yet, there is one thing Germans didn't expect... It was when the world exploded... Litterally. Storms and Magic Winds swept over the world, annihilating cities, killing thousands before they could react. In the wake of this disaster came creatures that everyone thought could only be found in books for kids... Yet, here they were, and it's in a panic that survivors sheltered themselves in hastily created underground cities, leaving behind a desolated wasteland, infernal depiction of hell... But if one thought that the war would stop there... They truly did forget the nature of humanity... Only the dead saw the end of the war... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING!

Welcome, traveler. Step into the Crownless Lands-a realm that should have been golden but never was. The maps still show grand borders; the songs still promise glory. But up close you'll find frayed banners, broken vows, and people trying to live between the teeth of history. Here, adventurers hunt fortunes that refuse to be found. Heroes rise late or fall early. Lives are traded, stolen, and sometimes-miraculously-saved. And the creatures? Some stalk the roads and terrorize the villages. Others arrive with a lesson sharp as a blade. And the kingdom's worst monsters wear crowns made of lies. --- What You're Getting Into: A weekly high/dark-fantasy pulp serial-fast, moody, full of intrigue, sorcery, and razor twists. Each episode lands a complete beat and ends on a cliffhanger. Where It All Unravels: A continent under a failing crown: forts crumble, roads go quiet, new rules harden. Towns and frontiers fend for themselves-more grit than resources. Bloodlines, Beasts & the In-Between: Shifts among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and classic creatures-some scourge, some uneasy allies. How the Story Moves: Chapters leap across the map, braiding many plots into one struggle. Local skirmishes mirror the bigger fight for a crown no one can hold. The People Worth Bleeding For: An ensemble of adventurers, exiles, heirs, and schemers. Not every arc finds light-some rise late, fall early, or trade all for one mercy. Your Weekly Drop: New chapters every Thursday, 6-10k words. Each deepens the world, sharpens the cast, and drives the saga-great for weeklies and first-timers. Important Note: The story follows multiple destinies; chapters are non-sequential and jump between plots across the Crownless Lands.
