"They called him a hero, a savior, but he is neither!" 

I am Lucas Lafayette Marie-Joseph Moses David Berger LaVoie. I used to be a soldier. But now, I am dragged into this situation.

They call themselves Fiercœurois, from Fiercœur, they asked for a savior, they found a guy who simply thinks about thoughts.

I looked at them. They said they needed my help. This country, in an upcoming civil war, tearing itself apart.

But one of them has to keep their power. Peace can't last long, everyone was scheming!

That is when I found out that they knew how to keep power. They told me: "People are sinners."

They are correct! They would do evil just to get ahead in life! You are lucky to find a good man!

Why did I fight for them? To gain power. Having virtue without power to use it is like punching the air, meaningless. I can have the purest soul, but if I can't do a single good thing, that means I'm evil! Better to hide an iron fist under a velvet glove than offer a woman flowers but be unable to love her!

I have done many things that will make heroes and villains kneel down to me or my compatriots. I shouted compassion, hatred, loyalty and treason.

And I will tell you myself. I am Proud of it! I am not American for now

Revolution... Sometimes it's either a shadow or a scream

This is not an apology. This is not redemption. It is a journey. After all, a life can be a journey itself.

This is my life. I am proud of it. I don't care if you hate me for the things I did.

Where does Fiercœur come from? Fier - proud, Cœur - heart.

Observe carefully, receiver of my message. There is something too little understand: sometimes, kindness is cruelty, and cruelty is kindness. This is more bitter than hemlock.

« La fortune ne favorise pas toujours les audacieux, mais le destin s'incline devant les puissants ! »

- Le Berger de Fiercœur

"Fortune does not always favor the bold, but destiny bows down to the powerful!"

- The Shepherd of Fiercœur

99 parts Complete Mature
[BOOK 1] REBOOTED COMPLETED Legends once spoke of Erebus, a great cultivator who stood against an army of darkness. He fought bravely alongside his brothers for many years but found himself betrayed. Those he called family poisoned and tortured him-seeking his death. When he escaped, he was demonized and painted as a villain of the realms. Thus, Erebus turned to the army of darkness and discovered the truth. His foe was never the darkness but the great beings manipulating the realms-Titans. He picked up his daggers and spent centuries fighting against these monsters, but fell short of his goal and lost his life. When he believed death would give him rest, the Shadow Deity revealed another plan for him and offered a new life. Erebus found himself in the body of Eri Themis, the outcast and trash of the prodigious Themis family. Starting over again, he will find himself standing by new allies and facing his old enemies. Can they stop the corruption and deceit spread by the gods? ***This novel will have mature language and violence.*** An earlier version of this novel was released a couple of years ago; however, I have rebooted it to this current version. This is an MxM novel but is considered a slow burn.

Their awakening could engulf the realms in chaos and destruction. Erebus and Leo must find a way to thwart Jericho and Kore's schemes while preparing for the imminent threat of the Titans. In Halrland, alliances will be tested, secrets will be unveiled, and the battle for survival will reach new heights.

Genre: Fantasy|Action|MxM Trigger Warning: This novel contains fighting, blood, death, gore, and torture. It also contains mature language and scenes. Although this will have romance, it will not be the primary focus of the novel. I love Erebus and Leo (don't get me wrong), but I may love vengeance a little more.

One day, the Cult of Ios kidnapped a young girl right in front of her sister, Mera. Unlike her fellow citizens, Mera would not stand by and do nothing. She vowed to fight. To do whatever it takes to save her sister. This is a story of tyranny and oppression. Of pain and loss. However, it's also a story of hope. Of unity and revolution. This is the story of Mera and her fight against those who would dare to use their power to hurt others. This is Xtreme Saga. Written by Terrence Sellers. Illustrations by SIU. New chapters added every two weeks.
