While I love the architecture of the late Viking era, adhering to their documented customs makes little sense to me. If you took a Viking kingdom and gave them all the power of modernity, I have no doubt they’d embrace it… and probably use it to subjugate the weak.

What I really love about them is their fascination with exploring. It’s why I like Elon Musk, Jacques Cousteau, Einstein, Oppenheimer, and so many more. They are driven to expand our knowledge, and thrust our species out into the universe, for better or worse. My love for the Vikings extends to all the daydreamers who push the boundaries of human engineering and science.

By extension, I have little to no empathy for those who don’t at least want to expand human knowledge. If a person simply exists with no useful drive, I want nothing to do with them. The idea of wasting resources on useless eaters repulses me.

Ascension, The Ymir Trinity

A clandestine American military project, created to stop the emergence of another hostile demigod, betrayed the world they swore to protect. Led by an Air Force General with his own secrets, they did the unthinkable. They negotiated a partnership with the most powerful being in the known universe, an unassuming demigoddess from Iceland named Alma.

Alma and her young eugenics obsessed American companion, Dawn, unwittingly plunged humanity into war after brutal war. With each hard-fought battle, human military and technological progress took a quantum leap forward.

Will humankind’s violence-accelerated evolution raise them to the level of the gods? Was this Ymir’s plan from the beginning?
