Choose a world. Try episode zero.
Experience the opening without signing up. Enter a name and answer the final question.
Turn your answer into episode one.
Save to an account to generate it. Your first episode is free while your allowance is available; daily and lifetime limits apply.
Read, then decide whether to continue.
Season one covers episodes 2–8 with one payment. Check the amount and covered episodes on the purchase screen.
READ & LISTEN
Enjoy published stories
Start with a free episode of a musical, mystery, or another story. To continue, choose an eligible episode purchase or reading membership on the story page.
Reading membership covers eligible published continuations, conversation cards and member participatory series. Studio Lumina and “Become the hero” season purchases are separate.
CREATE
Turn a spark into your own creation
Images, music, video, games, picture books and comics. Try the free examples, choose a format and mood, then generate your own work with AI.
Creation uses Lumina credits. Before generation, you see the output scope and credit cost. Picture books and comics are charged per displayed spread or page, rather than per complete book.

Purchase, sharing & storage FAQ
What can I try for free?
Free published episodes, listening samples, creative examples and “Become the hero” episode zero need no account. Generating episode one requires an account, and its free allowance has daily and lifetime limits. Creating an account does not charge you.
What does a personalized story include?
It is a digital serial with short text shaped by your answer and a scene image. Answer each episode’s question to move to the next. If there is no new image, you can read the text with the world’s setting image. Results vary; a particular result is not guaranteed.
Is a season a subscription? What does it include?
Season one is a one-time purchase to create and read episodes 2–8 for that hero and world. It does not renew automatically. The amount and covered episodes appear before purchase. Completed episodes can be shared by link. Reading membership and Studio Lumina are separate products.
Can I make a story for someone else and give it to them?
Enter the name you want the story to use, then use “Show someone” on a completed episode to send a link. Review the name and content before sharing. An adult must handle registration, purchases and subscription management.
What can someone see through a shared link?
Anyone with the link can read completed episodes in the same series while they are stored, without signing up. Episodes you create later join that series too. The link can be forwarded, so send it only to people you want to show. The hero’s name, the answers you entered and the story text are visible.
Can I return to a story I created?
Sign in with the same account and open Saved projects in the creative studio. New creations are normally stored for 90 days from the start of generation. Use shared links while the work remains available. Studio formats that offer downloads can be saved to your device for longer keeping.
What if generation fails or a purchase has not appeared?
If no output can be delivered, reserved Lumina or the applicable free first-episode allowance is returned automatically. If access has not appeared after payment, use the purchase check again before paying a second time. Contact the operator if the issue remains.
How do reading membership, seasons and Lumina differ?
Reading membership covers eligible continuations of published stories and other included reading features. A season is a one-time purchase to create continuations of your own hero’s series. Lumina credits pay for creations such as images, music and games. Existing Lumina can also continue a hero’s story. Check each product’s scope before purchasing.
Can children use it?
Children should use the service with a parent or guardian. Worlds have different age and content guidance, and available worlds and their presentation vary by age. An adult must handle registration, purchases and subscription management, and check the content guidance before beginning.
If you need help, contact the operator directly. Include shared links or story text only when needed.
