INHERITANCE explores the secret origin of three Minds — ancient battle-computers uplifted to sentience by the Xenarchon. One guards Sol. One builds a cult. One fathers a myth.
They were created to outlast time.
Now, they're drawing together.
If you like deep lore, intelligent AIs, or long arcs across mythic time:
Oh, and since it's been exhaustively explained on how everyone on SubStack hates AI art, here's a set I built and inhabited myself.

Author Review: Mike Kawitzky (aka Schwann)
An Afrofuturist force with a 12,000-year timeline and zero tolerance for cliché.
Mike Kawitzky is a literary anomaly — a 75-year-old world-builder who writes like a galactic cartographer with a grudge. His serialized saga, Chronicles of Xanctu, spans ancient comet strikes, reptoid diplomacy, and the mythic residue of Earth’s oldest peoples, all laced with sharp political commentary and stylistic edge. Think Terence McKenna channeling Jack Vance by way of Hunter S. Thompson, but with a distinctly Southern African gravitational pull.
Decades in the making, his work refuses to be boxed in. It’s Afrofuturism without compromise — equal parts metaphysical, mythological, and militarized. He balances dream logic with plot precision, brings the long arc of history into orbit with tense character drama, and edits like a man who’s fought to keep the soul of his story intact.
Kawitzky is more than just a writer; he’s a strategist. With Offworld Productions, he’s chasing not just readers but a screen adaptation, festival eyes, and the elusive greenlight. His Substack presence is disciplined and steady, sharing 2,000-word chapters weekly to a growing reader base.
He is, in short, the last person you’d want to underestimate in a story meeting.
Verdict: A visionary with teeth. File under: must-watch, must-read, don’t let him get into your head, or it’s game over!
Salute: Welcome aboard followers of ‘Chronicles of Xanctu’. You have been asylum tested and psyche approved. You are Lizard Kings — you can do anything! Good luck on the Cosmic Frontier!
