Abyssal Chronicles
In the northern part of the world, a long-standing battle between various races and the demon race has finally reached its end. The Demon Lord, a figure with black hair, red eyes, rules from her obsidian palace, having repeatedly defeated the Goddess, the strongest being in the world. However, she refrains from killing her, knowing she will only be reborn to lead another attack.
As the goddess kneels before her, badly injured and helpless, the sounds of explosions echo outside, signaling the imminent victory of the alliance. Despite her immense power, the demon lord acknowledges the demon's overall weakness compared to humans and the Alliance. The development of fighting energy and mana has allowed ordinary humans to fight demons, leading to the demon army's defeat.
Aware of the Alliance's intent to enslave the abyssal demon, the Demon Lord decides to cast a forbidden spell that will cost her life. As the Alliance forces storm the palace, they hesitate upon sensing the spell's energy. The Demon Lord vows to resist and be reborn to save her people.
Meanwhile, the goddess reflects on the demon lord's past treatment of her and acknowledges her respect and dedication to her people. As the demon lord prepares to cast the spell, the goddess asks if she can abandon her plan and live freely. However, demon lords are duty-bound to restore the demon race's glory and protect her people.
Understanding the demon lord's resolve, the goddess readies her sword, intending to clash with the demo lord's forbidden spell. The resulting explosion creates a mushroom cloud, marking the end of the conflict and the start of a new era. The Demon Lord and the Goddess become historical figures, their stories occasionally told.

I have loved the sci-fi genre ever since I read the classics "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury, and "War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells. I have looked forward to this book ever since it appeared on What's Next. This is not a real review, since I haven't started on it yet. Three things that made me add it to my library aside from its genre: 1) its well-written synopsis, which poses a tantalizing question that begs to be answered (and read); 2) the fact that it's a complete work, not a serial novel or work in progress that might go on and on with no end in sight; and 3) most importantly because CKTalon is the translator! Finally, a translated novel that's going to be easy to read! No offense meant to other translators--I truly appreciate your work--but for once it would be nice to enjoy a book without having to struggle through grammar and idiomatic obstacles. I will be back with an actual review once I've read through this. So excited! Congratulations CkTalon, and thank you for your hard work!
