《I'm a Bat?》The long war between Human and Demon
Advertisement
The world had always been a dark place and human and monster alike were always hidden, scared, and afraid of the dark. Beings born with no power, nothing to look forward to, no one to help them... this was until at the end of a long blank tunnel when a hope, a light had finally emerged, The will to live, the desire to fight and strive, the desire to flourish had settled onto both entities as they graciously accepted it as allies. When both had rejoiced at their newfound discovery it created a catalyst of power that rested in each being...
The soul, The very existence of both's will to survive, the ability to fight and conquer, Both sides had cheered and loved each other as allies at the push of the darkness that had plagued them so far into a corner. Soon monster and human took each other into embrace creating the various race's that covered the world. When human and monster had reached new heights they had found a peace that could not be replaced. The peace lasted many a millennium, Peace had sustained until the humans had lost their way and forgot the love each other had. Humans were quick to strike at the monsters with their newfound fear which pushed them on to kill the one's they once loved.
The monster and non-human alike, had become scared as a seed of doubt was pushed onto family, friends, and lovers between the two races that had once loved each other. When the first human killed the first monster a "miracle" happened the humans greed absorbed the soul of those that opposed it, and soon humans had completely taken the soul from those who were not alike them. The monsters had become afraid and scared for their lives developing the will to survive even more which acted as a power source for the humans. Soon the monsters were backed into the very corner that they had pushed the very same darkness they both hated, The darkness beckoned sweet pleasures and words to the monsters, in exchange for their anger and human lives they would gain power.

Miasma, Darkness, insanity it goes by many names but it is a primordial evil that takes no sides it only benefits from hosting onto beings that would embrace it for darkness is only alive as long as its user is alive. Nothing is born evil and nothing has to stay evil, soon the darkness had become a hope for monsters and non-humans alike. With the revenge of the monsters 12 leaders had risen with the most human deaths on their hands. The Ancient Demon lords of Dark was a group banded of 12 mysterious and old individuals who had lived through the passage of time and had felt the most fear, the most betrayal, and the most anger at the ones they used to love and look up to.
Soon The 12 demons ruled together and had branded themselves with titles
The Demon lord of despair: The grief at the loss of love The Demon lord of Insanity: The crazed feeling at losing everything that the demons had worked for. The Demon lord of Blood: The Blood shed over two loved ones. The Demon Lord of Anguish: The pain felt from the betrayal The Demon Lord of Lust: The Craze to gain what was once lost to the humans The Demon Lord of Love: The unfading will that refused to leave the humans who had once been one even through the very same loved ones rejected them. The Demon lord of Anger: The anger that had developed within the monster who had unjustly been betrayed. The demon lord of Envy: The new feeling that had developed amongst the generous monsters The Demon Lord of Greed: The human like emotion that had now been created in monsters. The Demon Lord of sin: The blame that had been pushed onto monsters who had done no wrong they were branded sinners The Demon Lord of Kindness: The feeling that monsters always had from the beginning, The Demon Lord of RULE/Hate: The strongest Demon Lord who had embraced the Darkness the most, The Demon Lord who hated the most.

The Demon Lord of Hate had begun massacring humans almost religiously, a select few of monsters who had still loved their aggressors banded together and a civil war had broken in between the race with one side branding themselves Demons and the other sticking to Monsters embracing their HATE.
The Demon Lord of Kindness, Anguish, Love, Lust, Blood, Insanity, Sin, and finally Despair fought and destroyed the remaining 4 who had slowly become human like in their greed for killing.
The remaining Demon Lords had adopted a creed letting in the powerful who represented the trait that they adorned the most become demon lords. The Remaining Demon Lords had brought Kindness onto the humans, even though it was not returned the demons brought peace and tranquility. Once again the humans had felt scared, so they turned to something heinous, A religion made by the humans that helped them through their fear and gave them a pitiful, and sick sense of self-justification amongst killing the innocent who gave them the kindness they didn't deserve.
Now hundred's of years later a minuscule amount of Ancient Demon Lords remain.
Violence had died down between the two, with small skirmishes happening between the church and 8 Demon Lords remaining.

Sylver Seeker
After fulfilling the duty all arch necromancers are tasked with, Sylver Sezari was not expecting to ever wake up again. But he did. And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he’s alive once again. In a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face. Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content. -The story isn’t grimdark, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either. There will be lighthearted and positive moments, as well as some sad ones. That being said, it’s a whole lot more light than dark. -This is a LITRPG story. Chapters are published every 2 days at 21:00 GMT. Author’s note:-It can get very GORY. I’m somewhat desensitized to gore and violence. So while the story isn’t full of gore for the sake of gore, it can get a little too descriptive.-The MC is a necromancer, so corpses and decay, and all the things that come with it, will be mentioned from time to time.-I’m a huge fan of Egyptian, Slavic, and Greek mythology, so expect quite a bit of that. That said, so much is altered, you’ll be hard-pressed to guess how exactly it is being used.-Despite being ‘immortal’ the MC can die. In the event he does, the story doesn’t end, simply time skips forward. Which in some cases is going to be worse than just dying.-I love plot twists, as much as I love red herrings and Chekhov guns. Deus Ex Machina’s not so much. Cover: https://angshumandhar.artstation.com/projects
