Black Onyx - Phoenix Resurrection

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of an immortal vessel. Through pain and flames, I forged it. From death through flames, to life again, the Heavens will make, an eternal man! *** He was once but a man, a young one from Earth, a man that crossed over to another world. After a long string of both fortunate and unfortunate events, he was killed, only to be resurrected by the powers of a Phoenix. Gerald, in his eternal pursuit of power, went and joined a Sect of powerful Cultivators where learned to properly use his newly gained magic powers in the unfamiliar world, and with a tiny compounding advantage, began to dominate his enemies. He pursued not strength, money, or women, though those too were gained along the way, instead, he craved a body to withstand and witness the end of the world. What use is money without a long life to enjoy it? What use are the fancy sword techniques and mystic arts, if you can’t take a hit? How many mistakes can one make, before a mortal wound brings them down? It takes just one, and you never see it coming. Join, and follow the story of Gerald Fireborn as he explores his new world of monsters and gods... while avoiding death for the second time, of course. *** Although the story is the continuation of Black Onyx – Forgotten Magic, I plan on writing it so that no prior knowledge is required to enjoy the story! Feel free to read the previous book if you are interested though, there will be plenty of downtime for that. *** I am trying a different approach for this piece, so it might be a bit wonky at the beginning, but don’t fret! I’ll be sure to make a beautiful chaotic mess that you can enjoy as always!
