Synopsis

The story you are about to read is based off a diary found in the outskirts of The Mary Ruins. Archeologists believe that it was written by a lone caretaker of a small orphanage, who was a victim of The Nuclei Exploitation Project during the end of the January World War of 1387, nearly four hundred years ago. A journalist was inspired after reading this ancient work of art, and wrote a novel detailing his ideas of life during this tragic event. You are reading that novel. (Author’s Note: This world takes place in an alternate history of my own creation, do not believe that these people or events exist in real life.)

Chapter 1Prologue:

27 January 1387.

Three weeks after the Second War World. (We in the future now know it as the January World War.)

Already, in less than a month, more than twelve million people died all over the world, including soldiers, and their civilian families.

But that number would be minuscule, as compared to the number of deaths caused by The Nuclei Exploitation Project, which in total, has a death count of 1.8 billion.

Of that 1.8 billion people that perished so suddenly, five hundred million lost their lives to the bombs dropped, but the rest were caused by the radiation that plagued the world for decades after.

This story is about a few of those victims of war, and their lives in that god forsaken radiation.

The return of the fallen king

In a usurped kingdom , amid a war-torn and blood-soaked Italy, Conradin's battleground is set. To reclaim his birthright the crown of Sicily, he must tread a path paved with blood, learning that he must do whatever it takes to ascend the throne. --------------- In the year 1266, the tale of Conradin, the last scion of an ancient imperial dynasty, unfolds. His once-great kingdom, Sicily, has been ruthlessly usurped first by his own uncle and now rests in the hands of the cunning French Count Charles. Through a treacherous plot involving the Pope, Charles managed to oust the Hohenstaufen from the Kingdom of Sicily and crowned himself as its king. In the East, powers such as the Despotate of Epirus are keenly observing the instability in Sicily, poised to seize any advantage that may arise from the chaos. Meanwhile, the small Italian communes are caught in the political crossfire, aligning themselves with one side of the conflict or the other based on the prevailing political party in power and their vested interests. These shifting allegiances turn the Italian peninsula into a powder keg, where all-out war seems inevitable. As the shadows of history close in around Conradin, the world watches with bated breath. Will he emerge triumphant, his name forever etched in the annals of Sicilian glory as the rightful king who defied insurmountable odds, toppling both the Pope and the usurper? Or will he, in his valiant struggle, become a tragic figure, a symbol of lost opportunities and shattered dreams? The future of Sicily hangs in the balance, and Conradin's destiny remains uncertain, poised on the precipice of history.
