Ethan Blackwood was an ordinary young businessman. At least he was until, during a trip, he found himself involved in an event that defied all logic he knew. Unwillingly and unexpectedly, he becomes entangled with supernatural beings, and to make matters worse, he has to deal with a demon inside his body! Now, he must become stronger if he wants to survive the challenges ahead. Will Ethan, with his new abilities, be able to survive the new challenges involving gods and demons?
During the following week, while Ethan focused on meditation, the rest of the group devoted themselves to intensive training. Lilith had granted them access to the vast outdoor areas of her home, including an expansive battlefield shrouded in the perpetual shadows of the underworld.
The training was intense and varied. Anuket supervised Lyra and Yassmin, helping them hone their skills and build their endurance. They frequently sparred with one another, including Arachne, who faced off against Zhilan. The latter quickly began to regain her extroverted and lively nature thanks to the constant battles.
"This is amazing!" exclaimed Zhilan as she agilely dodged a series of sharp threads from Arachne. "I finally feel alive again!"
Arachne smiled, launching another attack with impressive speed.
"Don't get too confident, Zhilan. If you're not careful, my threads could slice you in two," she warned, though it was clear she enjoyed her opponent's enthusiasm.
