Crawling From Hell

Hell isn’t just a punishment. It’s a game with rigged rules. Have you ever felt the pain of being incinerated? For Aurelien, this is only the beginning. Cast into the heart of a massive labyrinth rising from an ocean of lava, an amnesiac skeleton stumbles to its feet. He has no flesh, no memories, just a mysterious purple flame pulsing within his ribcage and a half-destroyed system interface. All around him, humanity’s worst criminals are killing one another in an endless cycle of death and resurrection orchestrated by invisible jailers. But as strange alert windows flash before his empty eye sockets, he realises a horrifying truth: his skills are sealed, his stats restricted, whilst he’s condemned to suffer for eternity in a place ruled by the Occultists. Worse still, some of the millennia-old monsters that inhabit the abyss seem to recognise him. They see in him a superior presence. But if there is one thing Aurelien is certain of regarding his past, it’s his humanity. His Spiritual Potential is almost down to zero. He’s exhausted, frail and defenceless. But to uncover his past and escape the underworld, he will have to fight his way through the abyss, skill by skill, soul after soul. Even if, to escape Hell, he must become worse than the demons who guard it. ----------------------------- The 'AI-assisted content’ was added because I used it to help me translate the work from French (my main language) to English.
