Now rewritten and available in paperback on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PJM3C9L A city of beasts. A black fog. A portal to hell. Demons roaming the streets. When Palethorn was covered in a thick, black fog, anyone who entered never returned. Now Sir Alexander is tasked with entering the fog, traveling the city, and putting an end to the demons once and for all. Joined by Alexander is a small group of survivors. Some of the monsters of Palethorn have managed to escape during the demon invasion, and lie hiding in the sewers under the city, waiting for the nightmare to end. Birdmen, bugmen, lizards and kobolds gather underground, hoping to assist the humans in vanquishing the demons from their home. Dragons roam the outskirts of the city, offering a glimpse of hope for the people of the city. Some powerful beasts oppose the forces of hell. Originally rated mature, but after getting this added to various smut lists I removed the mature tag. The opening is tame, but there's some serious violence later on. This story was inspired by other works such as Dark Souls and D&D.
