Aetherium Rising: The Divine Anomaly

Lux_Dei
Too divine to be human. Too flawed to be angelic. Too pure to be demonic. Sometimes the deepest pain isn’t nothing but existing without belonging. Seven was never meant to exist. Born of a forbidden union, he is a walking contradiction in the eternal war between Heaven and Hell—cursed to walk between realms, plagued by visions, hunted by spirits, and pulled into battles that were never his to fight. Thrown into the heart of a hidden war, Seven joins a secret order of gifted warriors and relic-bearers who fight back against the infernal breach leaking into Earth. Beside him stand friends—scarred souls whose hair turned white from what they survived, yet who never turned from him. And Zephyr, a mischievous spirit wearing human skin, who claims to protect him… but harbors secrets of his own. But as spirit becomes matter and flesh, vessel... Seven must ask what’s more dangerous—the demons outside or the ones buried within? Can he trust the Cativan, who shrouds its faith in secrecy? Can he trust Zephyr, who walks the thin edge between redemption and ruin? Can he trust his friends, or worse—should they trust him? Because the darkest enemy may be a soul convinced it is unworthy of love. And when Heaven won't claim him, and Hell can't control him… The final decision—to fall or to rise—will be his alone.

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!
