Luminos Maximus, God of Twilight

Greetings, My name is Thorus Maxima. I will write down the story of my life for you. Because you, my descendants, deserve to know the truth and not the herofied version that the bards sing. I am no Hero. I am everything, but a Hero. I am just some orphan that was fed up with the system. Originally the system was filled with good intentions. At least this is what I want to believe. Now it is rotten to the brink. While you are reading this, be aware that this is the truth. My life has never been easy, from day one I was confronted with the darkside of humanity. My youth is nothing that I want children to read about. If you are not of legal age I implore you to close the book and ask your parents about me. Let them tell you all the beautiful stories, legends and myths about me. Come back when you think you have learned everything about me, and reached legal age. [AN: This is a work of fiction. It is written from the perspective of the main character, he is older and wiser than he was at the time these things happened.] [Attention: The First part of the book is dark, and contains a lot of swearing.] [I am open for feedback and constructive criticism but keep your hate at a minimum. This is my book and I know how I want to write it.]

Intro

On a mountain somewhere in the divine realm. In a beautiful and breathtaking forest stood a small hut. Inside the hut that had only 2 rooms were two beautiful young looking women. One of them was heavily pregnant and about to go into labor. The other one stood by her side and had everything prepared to help the mother give birth.

As the labor started, unimaginable pain spread through the mothers body, and the earth below them began to quake violently. The Hut was protected by powerful formations that began to shine like new years' fireworks.

The midwife began to chant powerful and complicated incarnations as she weaved the magic to support the mother in her pain. It only took about 5 minutes to complete the childbirth with the help of magic.

The aura of the young baby boy spread through the hut. Yet before the mother even had the chance to beg the midwife to let her hold her baby the earthquakes intensified and the Sky outside began to darken at a rapid pace.

The midwife began to hurriedly chant more incarnations, she washed the baby and warped it into a cloak made of unknown material. It was covered in a flame pattern that seemed to come alive around the boy.

"You are Luminous Maximus, never forget this name, young man." The midwife whispered before an intricate formation appeared all over the boy's body sealing away his aura. The pattern on the cloak stopped flickering and vanished leaving behind only an ordinary looking orange cloak.

Yet the quaking of the earth had no intention of stopping, and the sky only darked faster. The midwife sighed heavily and placed a hand on the mothers head.

"Neswa, I wished you could hold him but there's no time for that."

After the midwife stopped speaking she vanished with the baby into thin air while a boy that looked exactly like the one she had taken away appeared between the legs of the mother. The difference was that this boy was dead and lifeless. The mother had lost consciousness the moment the midwife vanished.

At the exact same time hundreds of lightning bolts struck the hut and blasted it into pieces, an inferno of flames and falling lightning covered the hut burning the mother and the lifeless boy into ash within seconds.

Not Far away a sole man was fighting against a group of 3 with everything he had. It looked like the fight was equal between both parties. The clashing of their weapons, fists and divine might brought space itself on its limits. The sky darkened and the earth quaked violently. Slowly but surely the man gained momentum against his opponents and even secured a small advantage. He fought with his life on the line because he had something to fight for.

Like a savage beast he assaulted the trio and repaid every hit they landed on him twofold against his attackers. He was winning, yet the fire in him only lasted until the hut burst into flames.

Seeing that the man disregarded everything else and shot down into the inferno hoping against all common sense that the women and the child would have survived. Several attacks of his enemies hit him in the back, but he didn't care. His only concern was his wife and his child. Unfortunately he only found ash and bones, two skeletons lay at the center of the inferno.

The man had lost it all. His wife and Child had died and he had done nothing in his power to protect them. Deep inside him something switched. A feeling of loss appeared in his heart. Burning hatred and rage took over the place where his wife had been. The man's eyes became bloodshot and tears streamed down his face.

Two other men that had been hidden for the man appeared above the remains of the hut. Both of them had satisfied smiles on their faces. The trio that had kept the man busy to enable these two to strike, joined them. They wore equally pleased expressions on their faces.

"Regen Maximus," the leader of the 5 men group raised his voice, He looked down on the man who was crying blood at the sight of the burning Skeletons that were his wife and child, "The council of Divinity had forbidden the existence of demigod's between us and the Reaper scum. It has found you guilty of breaking the law.

"The decree of the council reads as follows: Regen Maximus, divinity of the Sun, is guilty of breaking 21 council laws. He is to be treated as a Stage 2 criminal. He is to be captured and imprisoned for the duration of the next two million years. His unworthy lover and abomination Child are to be eliminated as soon as possible."

Regen Maximus, the man that just lost his family, took several deep breaths before he shot back into the air, a trail of flames erupted from him and like a reverse meteor he crashed into the speaking figure.

He just lost his loved ones, someone had to pay for that. Fortunately the culprits were right in front of him, he only had to kill them.

A brutal battle erupted. The consequences of this battle leveled the Mountain where his family had died. The battle 1 vs 5 was by no means an easy on for Regen Maximus but he had no care in the world anymore his only concern was to kill the murders of his family and he did everything he could to archive it.

Several decades passed while the 6 Gods fought tooth and nail. The one side wanted to slaughter while the other side needed to capture the Sun God. They weren't allowed to kill him even if they could. The council enforcer team was built out of minor divinities while Regen Maximus was a True God. He had family and friends. they could be stopped temporarily by the council, but if Regen Maximus were to die the council would have to face a divine war.

After a long and cruel battle. The enforcer team was able to subdue the True God. In the end only the leader of the enforcer team was still standing. The two gods that supported him were so heavily injured that they wouldn't make it while the two gods that killed Regen Maximus' family were dead. They were thoughtfully terminated because Regen Maximus absorbed their souls and used them to fuel his attacks against the rest of the enforced team. Even the injuries the leader suffered would take a very long time and a massive amount of resources to heal.

The Enforcer grabbed the unconscious Sun God and left the battlefield with his half dead companions. The landscape around them was still burning like hell on earth.
