Black Onyx: Phoenix Resurrection
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of an immortal vessel. Thus, through pain and flames, I forged it.
"From death through flames, to life again, the Heavens will forge, an eternal man!"
***
He was once but a man, a young one from Earth, a man that crossed over to another world.
After a long string of both fortunate and unfortunate events, he was killed, only to be resurrected by the powers of a Phoenix. Gerald, in his eternal pursuit of power, went and joined a Sect of powerful Cultivators where he learned to properly use his newly gained magic powers in the unfamiliar world, and with a tiny compounding advantage, began to dominate his enemies.
He pursued not strength, money, or women, though those too were gained along the way, instead, he craved a body to withstand and witness the end of the world.
"What use is money without a long life to enjoy it? What use are the fancy sword techniques and mystic arts, if you can’t take a hit? How many mistakes can one make, before a mortal wound brings them down? It takes just one, and you never see it coming."
***
Join, and follow the story of Gerald Fireborn as he explores his new world, pursuing immortality at any cost while avoiding succumbing to death for the second time.
PS:
Although the story is a continuation of the previously completed book Black Onyx – Forgotten Magic, NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PREVIOUS STORY IS REQUIRED!
The book is written to be enjoyed on its own, so yeah... Enjoy!

Hooked from the Start! Intrigued by the world and characters. Imma only 4 chapters into Darkest Onyx (Soulmates and Lovers), but I am already deeply invested in Onyx Axion’s journey! You've done a fantastic job building a tense, ruined world right from the opening pages🫶🏻🤌🏻
