A Demon's Ascent

Why me? What the hell did I ever do to deserve this pain? What the hell did I do to have my heart ripped from my chest, to be stomped on over and over again? Why does the filth of this world deserve to breathe the same air as me? I focused on myself, kept to myself, and always tried to succeed no matter the odds. I blew through school with the best grades. I killed myself every day to be someone who matters. What do I get for it? I die a horrible death only to watch my sister be tortured right before my eyes. I'd do anything to change that night. What do I matter? I never felt a day of light in this cruel world, but why did she have to experience that? The light of my world snuffed out in a second. I've been given the chance to change the past. Who cares how. I'd do anything to make things right. A deal with the devil was the easiest choice I ever made. I'll reincarnate however many times it takes as long as he holds up his end of the bargain. I'm going to lay waste to this world and unleash the hell's wrath upon all who get in my way. Not a soul will stop me. The sheep of the world just follow the status quo. Time for that to change. The end times are coming and it's me. My name is Conrad Stein and I'm gonna conquer this world. No matter the cost. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Join the Discord for novel related art and announcements!

Siege (Pt.1)

"Get down!"

Harald grabs Lucian by his collar and throws him to the ground.

"Bang!"

A fireball crashes into the parapets, scorching flames surging over and engulfing where Lucian had just stood.

Lucian's hands cover his ears as more spells crash into the walls sending Guardsmen flying or turning them to ash. A choir of muffled screams erupts from those lucky enough to be wounded from the first volley. Many of their cries dying out as flaming arrows silence them.

Terror fills Lucian as he watches the ensuing chaos.

"Why is this happening?" He screams his thoughts aloud.

Harald sees the confusion on his face and rises from his knees dragging Lucian to his feet.

He points to the forest as shadowy figures litter the snowy fields outside Faerdham.

"This army comes to invade the North. They've brought the might of the Cevan Empire to take our lives." He answers calmly.

"Cevan?" Lucian questions.
