Trickster Deities

Forebearer's Sight: Strangers Among Us

A young British child, Frederick, who was adopted by Portuguese sailors finds himself struggling for survival on the shores of West Africa. He soon discovered that the lands he found himself in were troubled by the aura of ancient cosmic darkness, Okunkun, that instilled hate against the indigenes of Africa in other races as their punishment for banishing it from its reign on the world. The remnants of Okunkun’s minions, Egbe Okunkun, commence a plot to bring back their glory days by attacking the Olodumare Festival, an iconic festival celebrated between the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausa in honour of their historic victory against Okunkun. Yet to recover from the shock of the attack, a mystical war broke out between the deities of Olodumare and the ancient Benin Kingdom when their spy, Warewa, discovered a secret slave trade allegiance between the Benin Kingdom, and Prince Henry the Navigator, son of a Portuguese Monarch, with Egbe Okunkun at the heart of it. Frederick gets caught in an unimaginable battle between the deities of Olodumare who swore to protect their people from Okunkun’s hate, the Benin kingdom, and Egbe Okunkun. Buoyed by their duty to prevent hate from destroying their land, the deities of Olodumare made it their duty to ensure that people from the outside world had no access to their lands. When Frederick’s presence on their land became known to them at the end of the battle, they were torn between letting him live, being a child, and the fear that he would succumb to the hate of Okunkun and be a danger to them all. Frederick builds a bond with the son of a powerful deity, Ifaromi who was convinced of his innocence and will for good. All hell broke loose when the plot of Egbe Okunkun bore fruit and the very darkness they sought to protect themselves against threatened to rise once more with Frederick at the heart of it all.

It is no ordinary competition; fighters enter the arena not just with martial prowess but with Divine Marks, supernatural abilities granted by forming contracts with ancient gods, legendary warriors, or forgotten spirits. Aarav Sen, a rebellious street fighter, enters the tournament with one goal: to find his missing sister, who vanished after the last tournament. But as he fights his way through brutal rounds against warriors wielding the power of deities, he discovers the tournament is a front for something far older and more sinister. The tournament is controlled by The Keepers, a shadowy organization that claims to maintain balance between gods, humans, and the unseen forces that shape history.

Return of the Sinful Devourer

Dropped but expect a new one. --- Since the dawn of time, there was Primality, the foundation of all existence. Then came Chaos, bringing destruction. And after Chaos emerged the Primordial, giving rise to countless lifeforms born from its endless creation. In time, Myth appeared, records etched by mortals, immortals, deities, and mortality. Stories of triumph, failure, divinity, and mortality. Then came the invasion, from beyond this universe. The Supreme Deities, the Heavenly Sages, and the Zenith of Mortality rose together to repel it, and they triumphed. But in their blindness, they overlooked what had already been born. From scattered myths that wandered the cosmos, abandoned and unclaimed, I emerged. A being formed not of flesh or soul, but from record. I gained sentience from myth. Knowledge from myth. Emotions from myth. And from myth... I inherited desire. The desire to be whole. So I devoured, relentlessly. Consuming all myth, growing ever stronger. Until even the Supreme Deities, Heavenly Sages, and the Zenith of Mortality were forced to strike me down. They sealed my power and cursed me to an endless cycle of reincarnation, hoping to erase me through time. But I endure. I am The Harbinger. And I will awaken again... To devour everything. To become complete. --- Author notes. Read at your own risk. This story contains extreme gore, actions, and sexual contents that are truly morally questionable.
