6 parts Ongoing MatureRoger Codus never wanted to be a savior-just someone who could keep smiling through the chaos. Born on the desolate farmlands of Asha-A30, where crops refused to grow and winters bit like wolves, Roger learned early how to laugh in the face of despair. With little more than a sharp wit and a grin, he traded his family's broken tools for a soldier's rifle, chasing a dream of escape.
But the universe is far crueler than he imagined. The war-torn galaxy is ruled by distant leaders who treat lives like disposable currency, and Roger finds himself just another cog in the relentless machine of the Human Sovereignty. By day, he fights battles that feel more pointless with every passing moment. By night, he becomes "Jolly Roger," a black-market hustler trading drugs and secrets in a world that values survival over morality.
Through it all, Roger's humor is his shield. Whether he's dodging enemy fire, cutting deals in the shadows, or sparring with self-righteous zealots who claim divine purpose, he refuses to let the darkness extinguish his spark. But when a relic of unimaginable power-revered by zealots and feared by scientists-falls into his hands, Roger becomes the unlikely center of a conflict that could tip the galaxy into chaos.
Armed with nothing but his quick tongue, questionable morals, and a gnawing desire to be better than the world around him, Roger must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, faith, and galactic warfare. Can he keep laughing when the stakes are the very fabric of existence? Or will the jester finally bow to the cruelty of the universe?
The Tale of Jolly Roger is a dark, action-packed odyssey of war, faith, and resilience, told through the eyes of a soldier who never stops cracking jokes-even when the galaxy is falling apart. For fans of gritty adventure, biting humor, and characters who grin in the face of doom.
