Long ago, Earth became a battleground for its most powerful deities and monsters. War ravaged the land and humanity was pushed towards the brink of extinction. A group of fallen angels, demons, monsters, and dark gods led by Lucifer sought to dominate the Earth and unleash chaos in the cosmos. They called themselves the Krugen, and they spread their darkness across the universe. Only by the combined power of the Seven Archangels, were they able to decimate Lucifer's forces and strike a crippling blow to the Prince of Darkness.

Eons have passed since then, but the war still rages on in secret. After the Krugen scattered millennia ago, the Archangel Gabriel was tasked with assembling a team of immortals with enough power to defeat the Krugen once and for all.

In the year 2023, five young college students living in New Orleans discover the existence of the supernatural and join Gabriel's team of immortals to fight against gods, monsters, and everything else in between.

At the Fields of Fire and Blood by crisyah_
30 parts Complete Mature
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.

"To tell you a story, you'd need to know how different things were back then. The world was filled with creatures who could destroy us at any moment. Some people even managed to control them, not that they stood a chance. Anyways, there were also gods and goddesses who sometimes watched over us-not all of them were good people, keep in mind. With that out of the way, let's begin..." • Volume 1 | Phoenix | Chapters 1 - 24 A world full of monsters from every mythology and people who can summon weapons to defeat them at will. A few groups of special people abruptly unite to fight a threat that has watched them for some time. • Volume 2 | Nexus | Chapters 25 - 75 Though nine years pass, some people never really forgot that day. After all that happened so suddenly, a few people remain.
