Circumstances Of A Fallen Lord

'In times of crisis, the fabric of humanity is tested, and chaos reveals the fragility of our collective sentiment.' *** Caelum, a poverty-stricken young man in an alternate magical Augustus era, where magic and machinery coexist—cannons, guns, and wars between kingdoms—finds himself cursed by the Graceless End. This curse transforms its bearers into killing machines to combat their enemies, drawing the attention of various beasts, demonic beings, and entities. He becomes one of the Graceless, a group of individuals who are victims of this curse. After receiving powers he had never anticipated, he is thrust onto a bloody path. Forthwith, he must defend himself, not humanity, as countless beings shall come for him and others like him. *** 'At this crucial moment, they all knew that chaos had fallen upon every aspect of the human race,' a young lady remarked.

Azahel, a once-revered battle angel, falls from grace and awakens in the mortal world as Kael, a powerless young man in the Bellum Empire—a land where strength defines nobility and ambition reigns supreme. Stripped of his celestial might, Azahel must navigate a harsh reality, balancing the weight of his angelic past with the challenges of his new human existence. Determined to reclaim his lost power, Kael embarks on a journey through a world of magic, war, and political intrigue. From the rigid hierarchy of the Bellum Empire to the farthest reaches of a land shaped by Paragons and Deities, Kael rises against impossible odds, striving to carve out his place in a society that values strength above all else. As Kael confronts dangerous foes, unearths ancient secrets, and battles his inner demons, the lines between his angelic duty and mortal ambition blur. In a world of complex magic systems, treacherous alliances, and celestial forces vying for control, Fallen explores themes of redemption, identity, and the struggle to overcome one's own limitations. Will Azahel reclaim his divine legacy, or will Kael's mortal desires reshape his destiny forever?

Long ago, the gods created a world full of beauty & resources; ready to embrace all life that would come to inhabit it, the world started to become populated with animals, plants, and sentient beings like elves, beastmen, demons, humans, and more. At first, the races lived in harmony, and the gods granted blessings to help them grow, build, and hunt. It was wondrous, but then, conflict started to rise between the races; as time passed, darkness began to fester in their hearts: they grew envious of the others strengths, anxious & fearful at what they could do, disgusted at their appearances. Pressure continued to rise until it couldn’t any longer, and the Grand War descended upon those prepared and unprepared… The gods knew the sentient races couldn’t exist without conflict, as they themselves couldn’t, but to see how fast they have fallen into madness… Destruction erupted and came to every corner of the world, nothing was untouched by the war, millions of lives were gone in the blink of an eye for the gods, and there was no end in sight. The world that they all created together was being destroyed bit by bit by the war, but only when the races started committing unspeakable acts to each other and their own, even to the very world to gain unnatural power did they intervene. They all unified and came to an agreement. They descended to their now ruined world and forced the fighting to a close with their power and might. Once that was done, they enforced an enactment across the world; a price for all the terrible happenings during the Grand War. For all things, no matter how far away they were, they heard these words: "You had peace, you had hope, you all had a beautiful world, but now, you have BURNT it to the ground, you all have done sick, twisted deeds to gain the slightest edge in battle… We gave blessings, with the goal to help and spread growth, but you have absconded from our wishes and only used them for self-interest and murder… There was no need for such a large and bloody war to happen, yet this is what it came down to, the war wasn’t going to end before taking the entire world down with it. And so, we had no other choice but to get involved. We gods have decided upon a fitting punishment for ALL to live under… The world shall be refitted anew with resources to make up for what has been destroyed, burned, and the horrid damage to the planet will be reversed, however, since all of you created conflict with each other in a peaceful world, we thought you all would make peace with one another in a violent one. In 10 years time, monsters shall start roaming the world, spreading forth the destruction you all once wrought… Apart, you have no chance to survive the tide of change, but together, you will survive. That is all…prepare with these 10 years, and we wish you all the best of luck." The entire speech was done by the leader of the gods, the Goddess of Creation. And with a bright flash of light, they couldn't see anything, but once their vision returned, they were surprised. The gods were gone, and the world was no longer broken, scarred... but it wasn’t as beautiful as before the Grand War, this was an unspoken punishment from the gods: the world would NOT return to how it was, no matter how much they pleaded for its beauty to return. There was another untold punishment that everyone noticed imminently on reawakening, that their previous powers were now gone! All forms of power were reset to zero, and they would have to start from scratch! Without them being able to curse out the goddess for this indignation in fear of the incoming catastrophe, the races began to rebuild and train to recoup their strength. While they had made peace and worked mutually, there was always an underlying conflict, intolerance, lingering from the Grand War. As their time came to a close, things came to fruition just as the goddess said, monsters now roamed the world, spreading the havoc once sown by their own hands.

In a world where kingdoms rise and fall, a seasoned player unexpectedly finds himself transmigrated into the very game he once mastered—Caldera. However, his new life as a ruler comes with a crushing twist: severe debuffs and harsh restrictions on his talents make survival nearly impossible. Against overwhelming odds, he fights tooth and nail to carve out a legacy. Despite his brilliance in strategy and marvels in combat, failure becomes his ultimate fate. But fate offers him another chance. Reborn at the start of the game, now without the crippling debuffs and armed with all the knowledge, experience, and hard-won lessons of his previous life, he faces the world anew. This novel is a bit fast-paced compared to current mainstream trends. It will delve into human nature and how far people are willing to go for meager profit. Most characters will be evil, and even the good ones only appear good because the actions they take align with their own interests, rather than being motivated by true goodness.

Some would yell, some would cry - all would pray to the earth beneath them, and the heavens above them. A deity would listen, heed their words. Who was it that heard them?
