Demon's Reign
SUMMARY
The world has ended and from its ashes a much crueler existence was born. In a realm ruled by demons only pragmatic cruelty prevails.
He will seek to change this wrong, unjust world, only to find himself corrupted completely by its bitterness.
Demon's Reign is a postapocalyptic story set in a fractured world dominated by sprawling cityscapes, remnants of cataclysmic destruction, and the unrelenting struggle for survival. The narrative follows Zeke, a determined and broken young man seeking redemption and purpose in a society where demons, contractors, and a stark class divide dictate the rules of existence. Within the labyrinthine city of Lower Babel, Zeke grapples with his past, confronting personal demons and systemic injustices while pursuing the elusive Contractor King - a figure said to grant unimaginable power through demonic contracts.
As Zeke navigates this brutal world, the story explores themes of power, morality, and identity, delving into the complexities of human and demonic nature. Alongside allies and adversaries, he partakes in dangerous competitions, uncovers hidden truths, and confronts the tantalizing possibility of transformation in a world where hope is scarce and survival often comes at a great cost.
Arc 1: Prologue does not follow the protagonist. Instead, it spotlights the story’s main antagonist, highlighting his cunning, personality, and worldview. He is a shattered figure - a deeply scarred existence. Yet what circumstances tore him apart so profoundly? You can also read this novel here: Read free novels online
