《Manifestations of Faith》Prologue
Advertisement
Keep to your faith, send your devotion. Bless the divine and be blest in turn.
Keep to your path, your sight true, your mind clear. For blessed souls of Wargain, the Shadows are watching, listening. Be pure, your nature a shining light to pierce the dark of the Ruiner, the Maker of monsters. Shine, shine my fellows, cast down his tempting thoughts, shatter his many plots, burn the heretic corrupted by his touch.
Keep to your purity, for our gods are always with us, our ascended brothers at the ready to end the machinations of the Ruiner, he has no power here, so have no fear. Shine bright and hold your weapons high, for all is clear. We are the future, Wargain followers, the shepherds to herald the age of Order. We shall cast down all the vile distortions of chaos, we shall rise and shine like none ever before. So dear brothers.
Keep to your faith, keep to your path, keep to your purity, for war calls, Wargain beckons, new lands await us. The realm shall shake, civilizations shall bow, the savages shall be converted, the heretic shall burn.
Keep to your faith, keep to your faith, keep to your faith. For the Shadows are amongst us, their whispers closing, his touch nearing. Keep to your path, keep your purity, do not listen, to not falter. Ignore the words of his champions, the offers they peddle.
The power…
Keep faith. Keep faith, devotion is rewarded, the halls of Valor await all worthy, high and low. Keep faith, shine bright, keep his words from your mind, his lies, his secrets.
Such secrets, such power.. Such freedom.
Keep faith!
Even as conquest takes all you love.
Keep faith!
Even as you are left behind to rot.
Keep faith!
Even as you lay forgotten in a bed of death. Alone, neglected, just another follower out of millions.

Keep, keep. Do not listen to the offers, in all of Wargain name, do not, do not…
You will hear secrets, you will see the truths, you will be freed from all the lies. You will rise, you will ascend.
Do you hear his words? So kind and understanding, do you see his Shadows, always guiding, always tending. Do you see how close you are to your fellows, welcomed and appreciated? Power given without fear, none planning against each other. Devotion answered with warmth, blessings often granted. Knowledge provided that even the most studied scholars lack.
Do you see it my fellow, how death means nothing? A moment delay to the inevitable. We have all the time in realm to work our trade, to free those chained to gods only interested in themselves.
Do you see we are eternal? The Shadows always watching. The Shadows always listening. The souls that are truly free.
Send your Devotion my fellows! Spread his name!
Malan the Healer, Malan the Lifeworker, Malan the Guide.
Malan the bringer of Wonder!

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
