Imagine a world where Christianity never came into being. Where the gods of Rome have survived into the present day.

Tensions are rising between China and the nation of Nova Roma. A cult of Isis-worshippers known as the Sons of Horus has protested Roman activity in the Middle East. The Senate has recently decided to lift the ban regarding Kee Kanuntee's theory of evolution, all while the Emperor continues to push piety as the greatest of all virtues.

"One Nation, Under Jupiter" is the story of Diagoras Cinna, a journalist out to explore the impact religion has had on modern society. Diagoras travels around the city of New Antioch, interviewing the city's most pious residents, from priests to political figures to ordinary citizens. As he continues his report, Diagoras risks more and more in his quest to attack the gods. His employers question the wisdom of printing anything that would draw the Emperor's ire. His slave Servius, himself a faithful believer, begins to question his loyalty to his master. Even Diagoras' own mental condition worsens, as he suffers the consequences of living as an atheist in a world where blasphemy is a criminal offense.

Daniel Reas Age: 23 Profession: Game - Alpha Tester Social Status: Single/Virgin While testing a new game he is transported to a new world know as the Verdant Realm. It is filled with Gods and Goddesses, Elves, Dwarves, High-humans known Aesir, Vanir and Barbarians, Animals, Dragons, and more. However, the world is not what it seems, and a foretold cataclysm may yet destroy it before he's strong enough to save it. --(!)-- The backdrop of this fantasy world is both beautiful and harsh. The Prime Races escaped Midgard just before a global cataclysm at the height of their Age of Science, Sorcery, and Pagan Religion. of their pagan religious culture. Within there side-slip dimension called the Green Realm, Verdant Realm, or the Garden. They grew side-by-side with mankind on Midgard until present day. 5000 years later their culture is steeped in pagan traditions that have led to prostitution being sanctioned and promoted by various churches, and very open and even incestuous life-styles. The ratio of monogamous to polygomist relationships is about 50/50. Harems and reverse harems are equally commonplace. Given the very limited animal resorces they brought with them they used science and magic to splice every animal species with Alari, Dvergr, or Giant DNA creating hybrids named the Animals, Insects, and various marine life. Later they spliced certain tree's DNA into Alfari thereby creating the Arboreals. Even in a fantasy there is oppression, racism, religious anamosity, political corruption, and corporate greed. In the Garden Realm the fantastic is everywhere, and sometimes it's hard to live but brutally easy to die. (Warning: This is an adult fantasy with graphic adult themes and scenes. Graphic nudity, sex, violence, and language.)
