The tear in reality led to a new world, one that promised fortune, prestige and a deeper understanding of the universe. Those that entered found only death. Four survivors are stranded in a strange and hostile world, at the mercy of forces they cannot understand. Their only path forward is to travel among the ashes of a broken and dying land searching for a way to survive, to endure - and to make their way back home. Cover art by Harry Rowland.

A girl searching for someone. A boy who lost his memories. A man from another world. A woman trying to prove her worth. Follow along as this unlikely group of people join forces to help each other accomplish their own goals in this non-epic fantasy adventure. Fair Warning: This fiction contains many of the well-known light novel tropes, though I try to give them my own spin. If you’re tired of them by now, you might want to keep away. There are no demon lords however, nor any end-of-the-world cataclysm situation that only the MC can solve. This story is more about different people coming together and helping each other out to achieve their own goals and objectives.

Mist Ji, originally next in line to be one of the honored Sword Saints. He is betrayed by those closest to him, and becomes a monster. From that point on, everything goes downhill, and he can only turn to the Devil, kneeling before it and gains unrivaled power. Often, we find that demons do not exist in power, but in the hearts of humans. Join Mist Ji as he experiences the initial betrayal, and is later forced to watch as those close him are forced to leave the world of the living, one by one. Witness the darkness of society force him to become a Demon, and read on to find out how a monster slowly revives his dead heart. He gains unrivaled power and destroys enemy after enemy, conquers both gods and demons, but is destined to never be able to hold onto the hands of those that he loves. Or rather, he will hold onto their hands, but that may very well be all that's left of them. When he is able to control the world as he pleases, he finds that she has disappeared from his side. "There are tens of trillions of dimensions that I control. Yet they mean nothing to me, if you do not exist in them." Ten thousand years...I await your graceful return. "I died. I came back a monster. I died again. I came back a husk. You gave me life again. So, what could I do, when you went? I could not do anything. Like a filthy coward, I could only pick up the pieces of your soul and run. All along, I'd thought that there would be someone that was watching us above, and led us together. Turns out, there was. But they didn't care. I promised myself...never again. Never. So I turned my back on the light. And I stepped into the darkness. For you, I stepped into the pits of Hell. For you, I tore out my eyes and offered them to the Demons. For you, I was hunted for a hundred years but the Conquerors. For you, I groveled before the Devil's Statue for a thousand years. For you, I burned myself alive to appease the Devil's wishes. For you, I cut out my soul and offered it to the Devil-King below. Only...if I could see your jade-green eyes sparkle as they had before. When...will I see your jade-green eyes again?"
