《The Devourer》Chapter 19: History of Ariwarsle and the Insane Hero (3)
Advertisement
The world was in Chaos once again.
The insane hero wreaked havoc everywhere she went.
Many great Warriors, Witches, and Mages came to stop her but all was futile.
She was destroying and killing without any reason or cause.
When everyone saw that there was no stopping her, they went to Alnera once again for a solution to this calamity.
But Alnera was nowhere to be found.
She had stopped answering people's prayers and was not even responding to her Saintess.
Everyone was starting to panic when Goddess Ukdite’s Saintess came with news about Alnera.
Alnera summoned a hero in the divine realm, even when the World’s Will warned her not to do so, and was punished for it.
All her divinity was taken and she was imprisoned somewhere on Ariwarsle.
People were confused and could not understand why she was imprisoned so they started to demand a clear explanation of what led to this.
Ukdite’s saint explained that Alnera summoned another hero and trained him in the divine realm so he would be ready to fight the Insane Hero as soon as possible but this angered the World’s Will.
Not only did Alnera break the rule of bringing a mortal into the Divine realm, but she also broke the rule of summoning another hero.
When Alnera made the hero summoning ritual, the World’s Will warned her not to summon more than a single person from the other world or there will be consequences.
She broke both rules and was now punished.
The whole world was devastated after hearing this news.
The only goddess that cared for the people of Ariwarsle was no more.
Most of the Humans had lost their will to fight and now were waiting for the Insane Hero to just destroy everything since they thought it was their negligence that caused all this to happen.

Days passed and the destruction was happening all over the kingdoms when suddenly, news came that the Insane Hero was Slain.
No one believed this news until a Knight wearing full plate armor that was white from head to toe came with a girl’s head in his hand and tossed it in front of the Alliance in their meeting hall.
He called himself Sage and that was all the introduction people needed as everyone knew who that person was. The hero that their goddess sacrificed herself for had finally come and saved them from destruction.
People were relieved that the Insane Hero was dead but were not happy with what it cost to achieve this result.
They deiced that no matter what, they will not stop praying to Alnera and will always remember her sacrifice.
The Hero demanded nothing from the Alliance and just went to the Witch Queendom to spend his time studying all the things other heroes created.
Everything was returning to normal when ridiculous news came from the Witch Queendom.
The Insane Hero was back and had attacked the Witch Queendom.
An alliance meeting was called urgently to discuss this event.
And when Sage confirmed that the person who attacked him was indeed the Insane Hero, everyone started to assume the worst.
She could come back from the dead.
Everyone started to believe this idea which was later proven true when she once again attacked Sage in the Witch Queendom after he had killed her just recently.
But no one panicked since Sage was there to kill her whenever she came back.
They just needed to find out how she was coming back and stop her once and for all.
Until then Sage will keep on killing her because the power difference between them was too big.
But that did not last long as Sage was injured in their most recent fight.

It did not take long for everyone to figure out that she was getting stronger with every resurrection.
People were starting to despair since they still knew nothing about why the hero was resurrecting when Sage declared that he will take care of her once and for all.
The alliance did not know what he was going to do but they had complete trust in his judgment.
After the meeting was over, Sage went to Ukdite’s temple and shut himself there until the time the Insane Hero came back.
No one knew what he had done in there and no one asked about it either.
They fought just like they always do but this time Sage narrowly defeated her but did not kill her. Instead, he forcefully put a pendent around the Insane Hero’s neck.
After wearing the pendant she stopped moving as if she was frozen in time, and crystals started to grow around her.
When the crystals stopped growing, she was frozen and trapped inside a crystal prison.
Sage did not explain much about how he managed to do this or what that pendant was and asked for the Alliance to gather since he had things to tell them.
At the meeting, he declared that he will take the Insane Hero and will be sealed inside the Loswarire Forest with her.
Every witch and scholar will be removed from that forest and a barrier, made by Ukdite’s magic will be placed around it. All the journals and writings with mentions about the Insane Hero will be taken with him to the forest.
And finally, no more heroes shall be summoned under any circumstances.
No one protested anything the hero said and everyone started to execute Sage’s orders.
…
I pinch the bridge between my forehead and nose in frustration after gathering everything I could gather from all the writings.
There were a lot of things that I could not understand, things that were incomplete or were not explained properly.
How did I get here when no ritual was performed?
What are the Lamias doing in here when everyone was supposed to leave the forest?
How much time has passed since all of this?
But the main thing to focus on was,
I release a big sigh and say out loud,
“I am trapped inside a prison”.

Journey Towards Dao
What is infinite, possessing no beginning nor end? What is imperceptible, appearing both indistinct yet intelligible? What is indecipherable, unable to be interpreted or understood? What is quintessential, unfathomable, eternal? What is Dao? The main focus of this story is detailed cultivation, professions, and combat systems. It's a slice-of-life with a cultivation system that delves into psychological aspects (including minor psychopathic/sociopathic elements). Protagonist is the low-key sort. Be prepared for a slower start. This is my first ever experience writing fiction. I'm trying my best to put out quality content initially, but my main goal is to improve. Comments, ratings, and reviews are greatly appreciated!

Dead Circus
Sylas never knew he was a Cambion, a being with supernatural abilities called Arma. Society discarded him out of fear and subjugated him out of jealousy. Now, Sylas has joined Dead Circus, a group bent on achieving equality for Cambions, no matter the cost. Sylas has been given a chance to fight the injustice present in the city-state of Concordia, and fix society for everyone to live free of chains and tyranny. However, there are those who would rather see it all burn down so they can start over from the ashes. Who decides what is right and wrong? Who decides what freedom costs? At the end, who will stay true to their virtues and who will be swallowed whole by the jowls of a twisted society? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Circus is an original dystopian light novel heavily inspired by Japanese light novel style storytelling, character design and world building. My hope is that every chapter will include a few full illustrations to use as supplementary material to the chapter itself. Dead Circus will contain mature themes and some uncomfortable topics. Any chapters containing these types of themes will be noted before the chapter begins. All art associated with Dead Circus, including the cover art is made by me. Fanart or any artist collaborations for the chapter release will be tagged with the respective creators. Dead Circus is divided into volumes and will release weekly with small gaps in between the ends of volumes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I deeply appreciate your taking the time to read both this description and my work and I look forward to any and all feedback I receive. -Branime
