Power Of The Sword Wilbur Smith

[WSA Entry 2025] Ash Burn was just an ordinary gamer—an orphan scraping by in the real world—until he accomplished the impossible: beating the hardest VR game ever created, Apocalypse Online. But instead of the promised riches, he’s thrown into another world—one eerily familiar. It doesn’t take long for Ash to realize where he is: the chaotic, doomed universe of Heaven’s Favorite: Wrath of Gods, a novel he once read. Worse, he’s not the protagonist or even a supporting character. He’s just an extra. Armed with fragmented knowledge of the future, an unyielding will to survive, and the secrets of the Runes—mysterious power coveted by gods and demons alike—Ash must outmaneuver a reckless hero, power-hungry angels, and an inevitable war that threatens to consume everything. But as he treads the fine line between altering fate and unleashing chaos, he begins to realize something chilling: the endgame may not be as simple as he thought. In a world where survival hinges on power and cunning, can an ordinary extra change the fate of an entire world, or will he become just another casualty of destiny? Was he ever just an extra to begin with?

Many centuries ago, when the first demons set foot on the Land of Man, they brought with them a tide of fire and fear. For the first time, humanity trembled. But the war did not last forever — the demons were vanquished, cast back into the depths of hell, and peace slowly returned to the world. Yet, the scars of that age never fully healed. Before their banishment, the demons had defiled human blood, fathering children through mortal women — abominations known as Drakes. Seen as unholy by the High Church, the Drakes were hunted to extinction in a brutal crusade. All but one. Darius Drake, the sole survivor. The Church spared him, not out of mercy, but because they needed him. When the seals of hell begin to crack open once more and the shadows of old rise again, they send him to do what no man can — kill the returning demons. But fate has other plans. The demons are no longer mindless beasts — they move with purpose. Whispers speak of the old gods stirring from their slumber, and the world teeters on the brink of a new war. In the midst of it all stands Darius — neither man nor demon — cursed by his blood, driven by vengeance, and caught in a battle far greater than himself. Scattered across the earth lie the Keystones — remnants of the gods' last will, holding unimaginable power. Who will claim them? And where are they hidden? This is the story of Darius Drake. The last of his kind. The first to challenge the gods.
