I CREATED A WORLD TO SURVIVE THE ONE I WAS BORN INTO. When I was a kid, I escaped into a world of my own. I had questions about the world I was born into, about suffering, about why the old gods weren't stepping in to help people. I didn't have answers. I had an imagination, and I had a place I could go when the world around me became something I couldn't bear. I carried that world with me for years. Then I got sober, and the wonder came back. Then I experienced a loss that knocked me back into a darkness I thought I was finally climbing out of. But I kept working on the world I'd been building since childhood. GODstatic helped save me as a child. In its own way, it helped save me again. It's about taking the world that helped me survive and finally letting other people step inside it. The world I once escaped into is finally a world I can share.

About GODstatic: AWAKEN

Magnus S'tyrling didn't know gods still walked the earth — until Thoth took his son. For nineteen centuries, the world has run on a lie: that magic died, that the old races vanished, that the sky was only sky. It didn't. Since A.D. 35, a suppression structure called the Ring has cut humanity off from its oldest power — held in place by seven Anchors where the old world still bleeds through. Magnus S'tyrling works the Pinnacle at Manzanita and 6th in Grants Pass, until Thoth takes his son, AB. He isn't the chosen one. He isn't even, by his own accounting, enough. He shows up anyway. "The distance between meaning to and having done — that gap was where the compound interest of loss and pain existed. It's where I must live." — Magnus S'tyrling, King of Almost Start free with The Three-Pound Debt at godstatic.com.
