x18 FEATURED | ONC 2024'S SHORTLISTER, AMBASSADOR'S PICK AND HONOURABLE MENTION While fighting an Archons' system, which was designed to kill them one life after another, a demon goddess and a young woman will eventually reclaim their true identities. *** Lilith is the only woman, conceived by the Archons leader, Yaldabaoth. She is also the first one to say no to him. The first to have eaten from the tree of knowledge and evil. But now, she is just a tamed goddess into the submission of fearing her own destiny within his material world until she crosses the path of Norea. Her brother Seth saved her in extremis from death so she could reach out to Lilith. Only she-the first woman-could protect Norea from the Archons. And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned when they both teamed up to take down Yaldabaoth. *** CW: Loosely inspired by the Bible's views by the Gnostics, this story is in no way intended to offend anyone's religious beliefs. It is also a reimagining that is written with themes suitable for a mature audience. See foreword for detailed trigger warning.
