It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the heavens, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor’s will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, and bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Astra Militarum and countless planetary defense forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition, and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants—and worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting God... and New Stranger's menacing silence.

Samwise was as ordinary as they come. The kind of guy who blends into the background at high school parties or your mom’s second wedding. At 27, he was living alone, an orphan, unmarried, kinda sick in the head, and carrying enough stress to fill his bathtub, except he didn’t even have a bathtub. His life was like a dog on the street. He kept convincing himself that everything shall pass, so he passed every fortunate thing in life. Until one fateful night when he met his untimely demise, shot by a police officer who turned out to be a terrorist. Then in the dark of a void, just when he thought it couldn’t get any worse, he was slapped by a glowing figure. “What the—?” he thought, before everything went blue, red, and white. When he finally woke up, he found himself in the body of a newborn baby. Yes, a baby! And not just any baby—this was a baby who had a mom he never got to meet. Cue the sad violin music. But wait! Just when Sam thought he was destined for a life of diaper changes and baby food, a system popped up in his mind. He congratulated himself, as he thought: “Finally, at the end of the journey, it is still the end of the journey.” He was set for life!!? To be the Main Character of his own story. Yet, when he discovered the world he was living in, he was horrified. Surprise, motherfck##, he had been reborn in the world of his favorite novel, Earth Against The Abyss. And while he loved the book, living in it was a whole different fetish entirely. Set in a medieval dark age thing, humans were currently struggling against the Abyss, a terrible force set on conquering Earth and ushering in an era of chaos and death. Not exactly the cozy life he had in mind. “Will I survive?” he pondered, staring at his tiny baby hands. The odds were slim, but hey, at least there was a chance! So, what’s a simple guy to do? He decided to latch onto the MC team as their… Master? “Wait a minute,” he thought, “I’m a baby! How am I supposed to be a Master?!” But Sam was determined. He might be a baby, but he was a baby with a plan. “I’ll just charm my way into their hearts,” he said, practicing his best baby giggle. “Who could resist this adorable face?” And so, with a mix of baby babble and sheer determination, Sam set off on his new adventure. After all, if he was going to be the Master of his own story, he might as well do it with an innocent smile—and maybe a few well-timed coos. Coos, coos, coos…
