by The devil who hates
"The Devil must return." After a devastating attack destroys Earth, a small group of survivors is thrust into a reality far beyond human understanding. They are taken to Aetherions, a city that exists between worlds, where ancient powers, hidden realms, legendary warriors, and secret organizations have operated for millions of years without humanity ever knowing. There, they learn a terrifying truth: Humanity was never alone. As they struggle to adapt to their new lives, strange mysteries begin to emerge. Ancient records are missing. Entire pieces of history have been erased. Powerful figures seem to know far more than they should. And across different worlds, a single name continues to appear: The Devil. Some believe it is a monster. Others believe it is a lie created by history itself. But the deeper the survivors become involved in the secrets surrounding Aetherions, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between truth and deception. As friendships are forged, loyalties are tested, and impossible choices begin to shape their future, they find themselves caught in a conflict that has been unfolding long before humanity ever existed. A dark fantasy mystery about identity, sacrifice, fate, hidden truths, and the question that lies at the heart of every legend: When Justice spills blood and monster saves life, Who is the true evil? --------------------------------- What to expect 1.
