Caught in a perilous struggle of fate and magic, Richard must unravel the secrets of his past and face the looming threat of Tesior’s schemes. With alliances tested and ancient prophecies unfolding, he races against time to prevent Cadearus from descending into chaos once more. But Richard’s journey is only the beginning—this is the first chapter in an epic trilogy that will span realms, unravel destinies, and challenge the balance of power itself.

The Godborn: A Legacy of Chaos and Divinity From the celestial expanse where gods weave destiny and chaos battles order, Ikeng, the trickster god, walks among mortals. Cloaked in human form as Richard, he suppresses his divine abilities, knowing that revealing them would summon the wrath of the Agents of Chaos, beings sworn to eradicate divine interference. For centuries, he moves unseen, avoiding deep attachments—especially love—for any child of his blood would act as a beacon to those who hunt him. But in 1984, in the bustling city of Onitch, fate sets a different course. A Love That Defies Fate Working at The Guardian Telecommunication Company, Richard has blended into the mortal world. That is, until he meets Beatrice, a fiery activist fighting against government corruption. Her passion awakens something long buried in him, and despite his caution, he falls in love. Their union leads to the birth of Vincent Ikenga, a child whose very existence threatens the cosmic balance. A World Consumed by War As Beatrice and Richard expose corruption, the country descends into turmoil. Protests, bloodshed, and rebellion grip the land. When the president is assassinated, dark magic carved into his chest, the world erupts into chaos. Forced to intervene, Richard breaks his centuries-old vow and uses his godly powers to restore order—drawing the eyes of the Agents of Chaos. The Night of Betrayal In 1993, on a storm-ravaged night, their home is attacked. An Agent of Chaos, wrapped in shadows and wielding eldritch power, comes to claim Richard and his son. A battle of godly proportions shakes the earth, but even a god has limits. Knowing he cannot destroy the Agent in the mortal realm, Richard makes a terrible choice—he banishes himself and the Agent into the Realm of the Gods, leaving Beatrice and Vincent behind. The Godborn Rises The world believes Richard died a hero, and a memorial is built in Onitch, honoring him as the Superhero Dad. But Beatrice knows the truth—that one day, whatever took Richard will return for Vincent. As Vincent grows, so do his unnatural abilities: the power to see through deception, hear whispers of the divine, and summon forces unknown to men. By his eighteenth birthday, he stands before his father’s memorial and vows: "I will find you, Father. And I will destroy those who took you." The ground trembles, the winds roar, and power surges through his veins. And so begins the legend of Vince Ikeng, the Godborn—a child of both mortal and divine, destined to shake the heavens.
