Samuel Cadrian Ark never saw himself as a war hero. He just knew that his mother needed the money back at home, and that the country needed fixing up. Equality sounded like a daydream that needed fulfilling. So he threw himself into war, and amidst it all, found someone who would prove to be more important than the original goal itself.

As the battles and expectations escalate, Sam is faced with an important decision; save his new-found love and die in the process, or save his fellow soldiers?

He chooses death.

But he never expected to be sent to Hell and back. A world of spirits, demons, and guardians exists, and Sam may just start a war himself. He may even find his love again, a new life coated with buried memories alive in the not-so-distant future.

Destiny could also get in the way of it all.

"Project Icarus will be forced upon us all, and when it is, your damned wings will carry it."

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.

Rise of the Demon Monarch

62 parts Complete Mature

Book 1 of RoDM series. The black-robed man gave me an indifferent look, and I saw a twisted smile forming on his lips. "All your positive emotions and feelings, and you shall never again become happy or feel joy, cursed to forever pursue power. That is the price for your life and your revenge." I smiled. "I agree." I never had anything of my own anyway. This price was very cheap in comparison to my greed. Let a monster be born in my stead. Let the blood of my enemies flow like rivers. Let my pursuit of power be obsessive and never-ending. These were my last thoughts before the darkness engulfed me. ❆ ❆ ❆ Raphael Langston was despised, enslaved and thrown away. Right when he was about to die, he gained another chance at life. He will have to travel the Demon World, enter the incoming wars and change the future in order to perform his revenge and rise to the top of the world. However, there are too many mysteries about his own reincarnation that even he cannot understand. Who is he? What is the true purpose of the war between demons and humans? Why did they get invaded by Otherworlders? Raphael will do anything to get to the bottom of these secrets and find out the true meaning of his existence. TRIGGER & CONTENT WARNING!
