Overnight the fate of humanity was rewritten. Modified and given unfathomable potential, they are made to take part of the Ascendancy. To gain strength, valour and for the entertainment of their new overlords. Few suspected they would wake up under the thumb of the Gibborim. In territories divided up among the new rulers. Some had the good fortune of being in a stable area with a nurturing overlord. Jacob though had the bad luck of being in the area ruled by a godlike sadist with a twisted sense of humor. Struggling to stay alive and keep their new masters entertained, the ascendancy of mankind begins.
