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!

Extravagante

The next few hours blinked by in a flash. I had raced down to the common area to find all of my companions laughing and eating breakfast without a care in the world. Theseus and Asterion both seemed especially happy as they chewed bacon with greased fingers and wet lips. They had not had many real American meals in the past few weeks, so they were understandably rejoicing in the "fine" breakfast cuisine.

Lilith reclined in her chair, feet up on the table as she tipped a mug of what I assumed was coffee into her delicate lips. Even she seemed overly relaxed. Which made it all the more awkward that I needed us to move on so quickly.

I had told everyone it was time to go, my sense of urgency giving everyone but Lilith pause. Seeing as she had little trust for Azazel in the first place, she was quick to smash her cup into the ground, jump to her feet and stand at my side.
