Why Comics Are Dying

It is I—Henry Novar—the one and only, master of terrible luck and even worse decisions. My life ,so is my body, was a beautiful disaster, but it truly hit rock bottom when I got caught in Dahlia Vayne's web of lies and manipulation. She was poison in human form, turning my world upside down with a curse that robbed me of my free will and made me betray the only person I ever loved—Nyssa Albright. If Nyssa was a beam of sunlight, Dahlia was the storm. She waltzed into my life wearing my family heirloom, claiming she was my long-lost childhood sweetheart. Spoiler alert: she wasn’t. But I try explaining that to my parents, who decided that my seven-year-old self’s decisions were ironclad. Nyssa was my light, my anchor in the storm, but I pushed her away, broke her heart, and watched as Dahlia's schemes tore her apart. When Nyssa was killed, the curse lifted, leaving me free but empty, haunted by regret. And just when I thought the pain would kill me, I woke up—18 years old again, back before it all went wrong. Now I’ve got a second chance, and I’m not going to waste it. Dahlia thinks she’s got me figured out, but this time? The game is mine to win. Nyssa deserves better. And for once, I’m going to make sure she gets it. Even if it kills me... again. (Temporary cover cause the original one I made is too inappropriate lmao)

Update: Mon, Wed, and Fri [Mature Content] Amongst the battlefield of death and destruction, a lone warrior, her body ravaged by bone charring burns. Spirits of the recently dead drifted aimlessly, and hungry Burburus devoured both souls and body, sparing only the living and strong-willed. Yet, she found herself fixated on the Demon Lord, Ose, and the fact she is convinced he is in love with her. ... A vile smell rose from the brimstone red of blood and entrails that spilled from allies, foes, and those that were supposed to be protected. Hundreds of bodies blanketed the landscape of debris that was once a great city, wails and cries of the dying were heard over the strong winds, their hands wet as they tried to hold their own life in their wounds.

The spirits of the recently dead roamed aimlessly, not yet aware they were dead and that they would meet true nonexistence if they were not to seek shelter from the real horror to come.

Above, she could see the sunlight having its own battle with thick clouds that were a profane-black with only a little light caressing her skin, deep as rich earth. The lack of sunlight only made her colder, and fortunately for her more impassive to her surroundings, or that could also be because of the fact that a large part of her body weren't charred until her bones were blackened. Her skin was covered in the soot of the nerves and flesh of her right arm, shoulder, and parts of her torso that were completely disintegrated. "Dammit, Ose," she thought bitterly, her frustration boiling within with each sharp breathe in her chest. "If it wasn't for your ridiculous obsession with me, I wouldn't be here--suffering in hell and then some." Ever since he first laid his eyes on her, she was convinced the Demon Lord had secretly fallen in love with her. The threaded sigil of his eyes that seemed to hold the magic of the aurora lights remained visible on the back of her uniform, though her body was barely there. In the name of her tormentor, the 'Great' Demon Lord Ose, she walked towards the edge of the battlefield.
