When the bombs were done falling and the War Days were over, the world thought the worst of it all was over. Until the Great Phenomenon. Insects suddenly warped and became the object of obsession, greed, power. Now we feed off their backs: merchants driving beetle caravans across wastelands, bloodied arenas with aristocrats cheering for their dueling mantises, and scientists poring over the 'tinies' in their glass terrariums.

You stand at the edge of this world, a child. Will you become an apprentice to the Great Scientists at the Academy? Or are you the heir to a Warlords fortune? Or maybe your neither; a child of the ruins; a raider scum. Everything you do will shape your stats, the perception of others around you, your adult self, and even the world as you know it.

AN: This is my first storygame, so I just wanted to say that I hope you enjoy because this took me a really long time. Please leave a review and comment! Also, this one is heavy on the world mechanics and building. While it's not super necessary to read every single page, it is highly recommended. Your stats and character description will be avaliable at the end of every chapter! Enjoy!
