Virtue's Ronin

In ancient Mesopotamia, a boy named Anu was born in royalty. From outer space, a mysterious blue rock called 'Omnistar' unearths itself via meteor crash. Against his will, the boy and rock bond into an indestructible, 'omnipresent' deity; throughout history, whether in the East or West, the spirit of a prince stirred with the unknown, powerful energies of an alien ore to initially save humanity. However, evidence of hostility, corruption, and decadence led the lone 'deity' to wage opposition against the infantile, history-repeating species. As the millennia advanced, his tactics shifted to ensnare followers like a parasite. In the year 2051, the remnants of the soft, innocent Prince Anu dissolve and reveal a bitter, hardened leader known as Kaiser; he unravels the latest phase of his utopian prison, called 'Virtue', on Earth. Six individuals, and a host of others, live different yet jagged paths which orbit around the enigmatic, self-proclaimed king of the high throne. Virtue's Ronin explores the indisputable darkness of religion and cult worship, while it dissects the numerous themes related to the ills of said religion/cult worship such as bullying, erosion of the family unit, and human beings with their addiction to death. Age group/audience is 16-24. Rated for heavy language, intense violence, nudity, and sexual situations. Any name/person, living or dead, is a work of fiction and is purely coincidental.#satire #novel #religion #covid-19 #reading
