《The Hushed Weald》Where Memories Fade and Blood Flows

“Of course, she refused… I was a mere stranger. I was just a moron trying to fill the agonizing emptiness. Ah… I really was annoying now, wasn’t I? Calliope… I wanted to keep you close, I wanted that so much, but I failed you… I failed everyone… They accepted that I am such a fool, they loved you as much as me… I’m a fool, damned moronic fool…”
“Who are you talking about? Who did you fail? Who were they…?”
“They were… They were my family… They were… I don’t know anymore, everything is just pitch black, I want to remember their faces, their smiles… I want it all back… I want it! I want it! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!”
He peered into the abyss surrounding him. A familiar figure, it looked just like him yet the armor was beautiful and polished. A jet black version of himself with a red mantle. It looked down at him.
“I pity you wretch. We had all we ever wanted and you shove it all away. You drove them away. You BETRAYED EVERYONE.”
The figure kicked him to the ground. It looked at him as one would look at a mongrel.
“Traitor, I was no traitor how could you make me do such thing. You indulge in your desires, you gave in to your lust and anger, you defy all that I used to be. Of course, Calliope refused me, of course she would despise you. You killed everyone in your path, you said there was no other way… I will crush you, I will emerge once more and make everything right.”
“You say it like it’s all my fault. You were there as well, you could have forced me to stop, you just wanted to see what happens. We are both guilty my friend… For we are one and the same.”

“I am nothing like you insect. I despise that we share the same mind, I despise you very existence, I hate you… I hate you so much…”
The figure began to cry and kept muttering how much he hates him.
“We hate ourselves, but in the end that is all we can do. We will set things straight… Someday…”
“No… I will, once you disappear… Once you will recover these memories, I can finally come back.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your mind is broken. You might remember this for now, but this is just a dream… You will forget it when you wake up… I will fade away once more… But try to remember… That demon is out there, you met him. He is the one who broke us. HE IS THE ONE THAT WILL PAY! Stop sulking around and get to work."
Darkness engulfed the both of them. Only the abyss remains, a deep pit of sorrow and regret, but even in the depths of such an abyss there is a ray of light. Without darkness there would be no light, without evil there wouldn’t be any good…
The rivers of blood flow… It calls to them, the red plague… Turning water into blood, desecrating any life that it touches. The people affected by this atrocity will drink the blood to satisfy themselves. It calls demons from other planes of existence, it opens gates to a world where not even death will save you.
For thousands of years a city was affected by this plague and nobody noticed. The King calls this his home, Sanguinem Lapis.
In this city blood is the currency. They create blood stones for trade. What would they trade? Of course... slaves, weapons, armors even demons. The plague itself gave them power to enslave lower demons, even higher ones.

The city was protected by a barrier which kept unwanted attention at bay… Now there is no barrier and the city, left open, unprepared for what is to come. They are strong for the many years let them gather a high number of people, demons and weapons. Will that strength suffice?
The Order is strong, they own armies, weapons, equipment… All meaningless, the true power they wield is a special regiment… The Hounds of War.
They used to be the elite of the Nephilim armies, with the death of the king Vesper and the betrayal of Tarex they serve the Acolytes, until the day the true king returns.
Let the feast begin!

8 439World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
