Born in Equinox

The Ancient World was a treacherous place to live. Hundreds of races competed to win their God’s favor as violence raged across the land. Those who weren’t favored, either died violently in battle or slowly by attrition. One such race was the human race. Created by Gaia, the Goddess of Earth and Life, humanity was created on a whim; an experiment in today’s term with only two specialties: intelligence which far surpassed other species, and an emotion which has been exclusive to the Gods - the emotion of love. They were supposed to represent the love Gaia had for life and all living beings. She didn’t give them many things, but what She gave them, they utilized to their utmost potential, shocking the Goddess many times over with their epic tales, songs, and dances.  They had slowly gained Her favor - but it was all futile.  For in the Ancient World of Pangeia, there was no place for a race to have emotions, especially if those emotions were love. In fact, this did nothing but anger the other Gods known as Orokins, who deemed humanity as nothing but copycats.  As such, humanity was swarmed and slaughtered by the different races, favored by the Gods and Goddesses and Orokin, the Race of Gods.  Ultimately, Hermanz - the God of Civilization and a High God of the Pantheon - gifted humanity the ability to form settlements and cities to protect themselves from external harm, after relentless pleadings of Gaia. But this only helped congregate humans in a small spot.  One could argue whether it was a good thing or not since, beyond the walls blessed by Hermanz, humans were nothing but livestock that was hunted and feasted. If by chance, His walls fell to a horde of beasts, what awaited hundreds of thousands of humans was nothing but slaughter. But this was about to change, as the new lord of humanity would rise and change the world’s order forever. His name is Amnos.  And he would bring war to the continent. ... GENRE - FANTASY, MAGICAL REALISM, GORE, CRUEL WORLD, ADVENTURE. Note 1 - Hi, I'm a very big fan of magical realism. I'm not talented but I will try to truly flesh a real fantasy world with a lot of world-building, character-building, lore and such. Expect mysteries and little long descriptions but I will try my best to not do a infodump on you guys. Note 2 - The world where the story takes place, Pangeia is a cruel place to live. This story WON'T be like other fantasy stories where they say the world is a 'dog eat dog' world but the MC goes on showing kindness and winning favor. This story heavily focuses on realism and our characters and MC will focus more on 'getting things done.' Expect cruelty and inhumane acts. You've been warned and lastly, if you've thoughts, please comment them. Having a collective thought will definitely increase the realism of the novel. Lastly, I will be blunt. I'm a little low on the romance department so please, forgive me for the romance part. Anyway, you're free to give your inputs anytime and I will definitely try to incorporate your advice into the work. Also, keep an eye out on the Aux Vol since I might be dropping lores and such description in there. Have a nice day, dear readers. ... The picture is not mine. Concept - Warframe.
