Disclaimers: Arc 3 - An Ill Wind through current are loosely edited by myself. Arc 1 - The Dream - Arc 2 - Second Flight are highly edited.

My co-writer isn't with us anymore. I've converted this story into a serialized novel series. I don't consider this to be just any novel, since it has personal and sentimental value. Everything from The Dream to Saucery was co-written by Sureia (Khaizard), my late fiancee'. Let's see where the story goes beyond from arc 6 through 9, where it will end.

Long ago a boy was born to a powerful clan, he was on track to inherit his grandfather’s mantle but alas he fell in love with the wrong person. ... more>>

What happened next was only karma, his own kinsman beat and flogged him to death. With a single breath left he cursed them, he would return one day and leave no traces of this wretched clan. He then used a forbidden method to condense his essence into one.

This boy would become the highest demon under heaven, leaving a reign of terror that spanned eons. His evil heritage left an indelible mark upon history but alas righteousness prevailed. The great demon fell until eras passed and his mark all but disappeared.

A Blood Moon hangs as a corpse rises from atop a mountain, the great demon returns once again!

I died being blown to smithereens as I smashed into something with a speed greater than light.
The next time, I died from a spear. I preferred the first death, but whatever. Death is death.
After that, I was killed by hunger. Not a preferrable way to die.
Next was drowning. Did you ever drown in your life? Probably not … ... more>>

I died countless times, but I always stood up and gave my best afterwards, be it cooking, knitting, caring about little cute children, or even training dogs.
Oh, did I mention art as well? I could sing and play a few instruments.

God, Jesus, Heavenly Father and Son, The Holy Ghost, The Holy Spirit, The Father of All Creation. He has many names, but the truth is that neither he nor his words ever change, nor does the fact that he holds all power and all glory. He is eternity and indestructibility...... more>>

An untraceable amount of time ago he and one of his oldest creations, Eden, departed from The HEavenly Realm and were never heard from again. Even though this was the case the Heavenly Realm remained calm as all Humana who had ascended to this Realm after death were now free of all sinful desires and lived for one another and the Glory of God. ANd even the Deavaum who lived in this Realm didn't dare to try anything due to both the Angels who continued to faithfully pursue their duties and The Ancient Codex.

They left behind three things in total; The Ancient Codex and a piece of each of their wills which cross through the cycle of space and time, fusing with two souls which would be born into the Human Realm or "The Universe" in the future.

These two beings became unsurpassable in the Universe, one became it's very the core and the other the protector of all innocent and oppressor of all evil.

Basil "Baze" Ezekiel Ambrose and Primrose Correigna Diaos are descended from these two beings and their mothers are The Mother Earth Gaia and Aphrodite respectively. The two were named husband and wife even before they were conceived.

Their only goal was to secure The Ancient Codex while protecting The Heavenly Realm it guards against those in The Demonic Realm.

Follow them as they overcome all challenges to claim The Ancient Codex and rise to become the rulers of The Heavenly Realm.

Dalric had many names. None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin. Two hundred thousand men approached him that day. All of them sought his life, none of them left with theirs. But they would not die in vain, they had accomplished their mission. Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own.

Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all.

His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them.

“My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived. My work is done...and so is yours. You’re free to be who you were meant to.”

With his contract with the gods fulfilled, they were truly free. The centuries of torment would end. No longer would they have to walk the path of a monster.

Little did Dalric know, the devil was in the details.

I found myself in a forest, with only some clothes on me and a screen hovering in front of me that gave me some vague information.
From what was written, I had guessed I was in a bad situation.
It didn't take me long to realize I was wrong - it wasn't bad, it was horrific.
Was there anything positive about this whole thing? Well yes, I could resurrect when I died.
Fun fact? It was also the worst thing of the place.... more>>

I’m a lifelong fan of the darker and more thought-provoking side of storytelling. This passion project is a molding of some of my biggest influences and enjoyments. Works like Berserk, Vinland Saga, Re: Zero, Dark Souls/Bloodborne, and Lovecraft.

I am also a musician, and I have composed a fifteen-song OST album (41 minutes in total) of mostly chill music based on the story to be listened to while reading. It can be found on YouTube and SoundCloud for free.

Right now, Ash Risen will update twice a week on Sundays and Thursdays.
