Once upon a time, Amir, Leigh and Robin lived in a beautiful city, where they made friends with amazing people and went to one of the most prestigious schools in Twistrose, the land of flowers. Their lives were practically perfect. There was no lack of places for our trio to explore. From the towering bio-organic skyscrapers to the slightly more rustic brick shophouses, the Twistrosier city of Hurtlespool had everything.
But three curious children can only stay in one city for so long. Thirteen years in, Amir and his friends yearned for adventure. And when their history project required them to travel around Orbana studying Angelic relics from the Old War, they jumped at the chance to fulfill their wishes. Great things awaited them - things that would eventually lead them down a rabbit hole full of old gods, ruined cities, dead angels and eldritch beings so powerful they could destroy Orbana in a day if they wished.
Maybe we should go into this blind. Completely clueless, like our intrepid trio of junior adventurers. Who knows? We might meet Death himself, or maybe one of Life's Angels. Perhaps even discover a city buried beneath thousands of tonnes of sand. In a new world like Orbana, many things remain to be discovered.

Crown of Greed and Power

First of the Fallen (Neophyte Series 1)
The End is inevitable; this much has always been certain. Debate as to the manner in which the world will meet its demise remains a mystery, the details cryptic and well hidden within literature of forbidden knowledge, not meant for the eyes of the general populous ... until now. Unknown to mankind, there exists a common link in our history, the crux of the survival and thriving of human civilization resting upon the shoulders of a small group of individuals. They where there at the Great Flood, at the fall of Troy, and even set the foundation of American Justice in Tombstone Arizona. They are the Neophytes, the knights of the ancient world. Their biggest obstacle is the flaws of human memory, a blank slate with the birth of every new life cycle, but though the body may whither and die in every passing generation, the soul remains immortal, and carries a veiled memory on its own. What secrets remain buried, in the deepest crevices of Michael Archer's mind, he cannot possibly comprehend. When he wakes one morning in an urban alleyway, stark naked and drenched in blood, with no memory of who he is, or how he got there, nothing but questions remain. After a narrow escape from authorities, he is abducted and taken to the Sanctuary; a remote, arcane castle on the Northern border, older than the country itself. There, the Neophytes must unlock the secrets of his mind. Little by little, Michael begins to realize his crucial role in the pattern of the grand design; that of an ultimate theme of good versus evil. He must come to grips with a devastating truth; that if he will not stand against the coming insurrection of terminal darkness, no one will.

~Innocent Demoness~
Femi's life was always quite chill, even as Satan's daughter. She wasn't the typical evil demon everyone thinks she is. But things are starting to get a lot more hectic and she is finally starting to become a true demon. "Then all I felt was rage. Rage because they were ruining my time with my mates, rage because they were messing up my really peaceful life as Satan's daughter, and rage because they were hurting people around me. All I saw was red, and before I knew it, my horns and tail were sprouting. It hurt like f*cking hell. During that, somehow the ground had started opening up because of me. I didn't know what I was doing but it was happening. There were flames coming from the cracks on the ground, and I recognized them as hellfire. "Hell's nature wants you to use its power," said Dimona, shocked. My eyes widened. Hellfire was extremely deadly. Any living thing that touches it dies. That's why it's only found in the barren parts of Hell as it's too dangerous to have in the actual Hell city. I calmly collected my thoughts and agreed. I had nothing to lose. I wanted to put an end to this madness. The flames rose even higher and before I knew it, they were hurling towards me."Complete
