Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

DEMONS x DESIRES (Bound by Darkness)

"My heavenly fiends, go forth into the last living world and cleanse it of the evil demons that have risen from the darkness of my creation! When your eyes open, your mission shall be clear." At least, that was what was supposed to happen ... Instead, Nercia's eyes opened to a cataclysmic world—dominated by none other than the demons they were sent to exterminate. Scattered bones and skulls were the only remnants of humanity. She had no memory of what transpired after she arrived in the human world with her siblings, Lodre and Madaira, fueled by the burning urge to fulfill their Lord's command. How did she end up here, in a human body, lying helpless on the soil of a ravaged battlefield? She watched as demons dragged away human corpses, feeling ____ as she saw the vanishing corpse of one of her siblings lying right beside her. But it didn’t end there. Soon after, she found herself in chains, confined by the very demons she was meant to destroy. Among them, a crazy woman claimed to be her sister. On the other side of this devastated world, Michael's eyes opened to a strange and alien landscape. The world he once knew was destroyed, and he found himself trapped in a mansion within a city that harbored the last survivors of humanity. The city, barely standing after narrowly escaping the apocalypse, faced a new threat—an internal struggle for power, survival, and control. What was once a bustling city was now the last lawless stronghold of humanity. Join Nercia and Michael on their incredulous journey as ill-fated lovers struggling to break free from the chains binding them, seeking to reunite in a world dominated by bloodthirsty demons and power-hungry humans. Will their doomed love prevail? This is a multi-plot story that shifts seamlessly between settings. You’ll never get bored, but you’ll need to be adaptable and able to track multiple narratives simultaneously. Cheers!
