Spain, 1519.

An ancient world simulated for research and entertainment, filled with players who compete with one another in the shadows of kings and queens and global conflicts. Rika is a player-killing mageknight who stumbles into Aztec Mexico, befriends a native youth, and embarks on a world-spanning adventure. Inquisitors, conquistadors, rogue religious figures, and effeminate cannibals cross paths throughout their journeys as the world of NPCs struggle against the arrival of the heretic players.Disclaimer: This story contains lighthearted cannibalism, sexual innuendo, spooky clowns, Hispanophobes, grandma harems, consensual torture, and swear language.
