Beyond the Apocalypse
Everything functions in a cycle, be it an ant, bird, lion, human, or even a celestial body. This cycle initiates with one's birth and governs one's end, yet there exists the potential to surpass it. Among the billions of planets floating in the cosmos, destined to merely occupy a void, some have the capacity to ascend, reaching new dimensions, standing shoulder to shoulder with realms like Heaven and Hell. --- Vlad, a young man, found himself ill-fitted in a world that scarcely offered him any luck, weighed down by a mysterious secret that initially seemed more of a burden than a boon. Yet, the powers he had dismissed as trivial eventually became his most formidable strength when the apocalypse broke, unleashing literal pandemonium as angels and demons walk among the human race. ---- Discord link: https://discord.gg/am5hkAdmhp Weekly updates: 14 chapters 100 Power Stones: 2 extra chapters 200 Power Stones: 4 extra chapters 300 Power Stones: 6 extra chapters.
To the war (III)
As the end of the year arrived and preparations were completed, the forces of the Xaos Kingdom began their march toward the Azarin Empire's capital. The defenses of Xaos City were left in the hands of Overlord.
All the cities surrounding Inkmetal City had been completely cleansed of any possible threat to Xaos City. Any force wishing to harm the Xaos Kingdom's civilians would have to traverse thousands of kilometers, giving Vlad more than enough time to mobilize his forces.
The only military power that did not march to war was the forces stationed at Nagan Mountain led by Brigadier General Mitchell. The pool of Demonblood Molten Essence was critical for the growth of Vlad, Jormungandr, and Ouroboros, and it only took one person to destroy it, so it could not be left unprotected.
