High King

Come and read the tale of Desmond Murphy, as he recounts the story of how he went from a 25 year old office worker nobody, to the High King of Hell. Follow along as he is thrust against his will from his boring day to day office life into one of gods, magic and mystery. Stuck in a plot between Heaven and Hell, Desmond is forced to forge new relationships with demons and other unlikely mythological creatures while he struggles to understand the rules of this new world revealed to him. Will he survive Heaven’s angels that pursue his bloody end? *********** This is my first original work, please read and review if you like. Feedback is greatly appreciated! I still work a full time job, but do my best to update at least every M/F *********** Update 7/17/2022 This work is on a hiatus for a few months. My wife had twins recently, and I overestimated my available time to write. (So exhausted all the time!) so I will resume once my newly grown family gets into a new groove and the twins are old enough for me to get SOME amount of sleep again. (Hoping for early September!) Thank you to everyone supporting this novel and please note that I WILL be returning. That is a promise!

[Bonus chapter]R&R

I allowed my tired and aching muscles to relax into the soft comforter and bed beneath me as I searched the ceiling for answers to questions I had yet to fully form. I kept the partition up in my psyche so as not to annoy Lucifer with my brewing thoughts. Knowing him, he would try to over explain, or alternatively completely dismiss my concerns. 

Restlessly I rolled onto my side, searching instead the room, for which I had been given to sleep, for answers. Lilith had made quick work of my healing, and due to this now frequent necessity, a second bed sat across from me that she would soon occupy. The matching grey comforters and modern aesthetic made me feel like I was in some dystopian future, rather than an apparent millionaire's guest room.
