Godskin Apostle Lore

Ishar Valtor’s comrades betrayed him. They offered him as a sacrifice to a demon in a forbidden ritual. But something went wrong. As cold steel pierced his heart, death never came. Instead, he was reborn—not as a man, but as an Incubus. Alone and hunted, Ishar must navigate a world teeming with scheming factions, ruthless adventurers, and monstrous horrors lurking in the dark. Strength is the only currency that matters, and if he wants to survive, he must take it—one kill at a time. Through brutal rituals, deadly trials, and a structured LITRPG system of Orders, Classes, and Relics, Ishar will forge his own path. He will rise through blood and sacrifice, embracing the darkness within… or fighting to keep his humanity intact. Daily Updates!

DO NOT READ! Additional tags #Gods #Devil #Ancient beings #Creators #Monarchs Discord link - https://discord.gg/2sM5QrxBtS -- Author, God or Plaything? Zar had just finished writing the prologue of his magnum opus—The Nexus Verse—a boundless universe of multiverses, godlike beings, and an elite academy meant to shape the strongest entities in existence. Years of meticulous world-building, complex power systems, and lore so deep it could drown a god… and yet, it was all just fiction. Until it wasn’t. On the night of his 22nd birthday, reality shattered. What should’ve been a normal cake-cutting moment turned into an out-of-body experience, and when he opened his eyes… He was no longer home. He was inside the Nexus Verse. But there was a problem. He had only written the prologue. Everything beyond that? Just scattered ideas, half-baked concepts, and power systems even he didn’t fully understand. Now, trapped in a reality of his own making, Zar finds himself at the heart of a multiversal storm. His once "brilliant" designs have become his worst nightmare. There aren’t just a few multiverses—there are over 9,000, each teeming with civilizations that could rewrite existence, warlords who make gods look like insects, and cosmic horrors that even he forgot to balance. And at the very center of it all? The Nexus Academy—his ultimate creation. The elite training ground for beings who defy logic, where students can level entire galaxies before lunch. Zar is now a participant in its entrance exam. Armed with fragmented memories of his own lore, a system that seems just as unreliable as his writing skills, and the horrifying realization that he might have made this world way too overpowered, Zar has only one goal: Survive. Because in a world where gods are mere stepping stones, where the strongest beings follow laws he barely remembers writing, and where his own creations may see him as a threat... Being the Author might not mean he’s the one in control. And then, amidst the chaos, a voice—ancient, boundless, and filled with unfathomable power—echoes in his mind. [At long last… I have found you… Welcome, my sole wielder.] Zar’s blood runs cold. What the hell did he create? --- ALERT! The main story begins in Volume 2. And you know someone was asking for Mass release (•↓•), So A new Rule. 100 Power stone= 1 Extra chapter.

"31 Days: Origins" by Lapis L. Lazuli --Timeframe: 31st of October - 07th of November 2023 --Stage: UNKNOWN A black card with a silver mouse drags a twitchy schoolboy into a 31-day nightmare—underground, cutthroat, and damned relentless. 32 strangers, from killers to kids, claw through lethal games where brains and blood weigh the same. An AI whispers the rules, a shadowy outfit pulls the strings, and powers twist the odds. Alliances fray, secrets bleed, and one name—“Raiko”—haunts the chaos. Survival’s a gamble, trust’s a death sentence, and the truth’s a skull-crushing muse. What is humanity when the clock is ticking? ("31 Days: Origins" is the second novel in The "What is Humanity?/Lapis L. Lazuli" Lore and the first novel of the four-part "31 Days" Novel Series by Lapis L. Lazuli.)

"Stuck..." by Lapis L. Lazuli --Timeframe: 3218 --Stage: Andromeda Galaxy, Planet Alpha Four astronauts—Graham Young, Celeste Wong, Jennifer Cross, and Michael Forrest—blast off to Planet Alpha, a last-ditch shot at saving a bloated, broken Earth choking on 32 billion souls. Tech’s slick, hope’s thin, and Michael’s the odd man out: a quiet, brooding pessimist/realist who’d rather sleep than play hero. They’re hunting a new home, but when their ship vanishes, leaving nothing but a hole in the ground behind, and buzzsaw traps start snapping, Alpha turns into a spatial meat grinder. Graham’s charisma can’t save him, Celeste’s grit hits a wall, and Jennifer’s just trying to keep herself together while Michael’s calm cracks into something... else. "Stuck..." kicks off a sprawling lore asking “What is Humanity?”—not with grand answers, but with a cold, hard look at the wreckage. Is it the evil that festers, the good that fades, or the mess in between? This ain’t a fairy tale; it’s a bloody warning.

In the celestial expanse, the planet of Osiris hangs like a luminous opal, suspended amidst the starry tapestry by the silken threads of fate. This world, a marvel of wonder, is home to nine realms, each governed by godlike monarchs who wield powers both mystical and mysterious. The royal bloodlines of Osiris possess a prestigious gift – the ability to harness the power of Quantum Energy. This arcane force, a manifestation of the cosmos' inherent majesty, courses through the veins of the nobility like liquid starlight. Those who wield this power are known as Warlocks or Quantum Kinetics, and they are the epitome of esoteric prowess, their abilities rivaled only by the celestial bodies that light the firmament. Yet the star-kissed realms of Osiris tremble on the cusp of cataclysm, the Shadow Terrestrials, ancient harbingers of darkness and despair, stir from their celestial slumber, their malevolent presence threatening to unleash unfathomable chaos. Against this apocalyptic backdrop, the monarchs of the nine realms convene at the Glazier Ball, a dazzling spectacle of wonder and majesty, where the fate of the luminous Daughter of Light hangs precariously in the balance, a delicate pawn in a grand game of power, mystery and ancient lore, as the realms themselves teeter on the brink of oblivion.

When it would have 10 chapters here? 28 chapters are there. So... You know? You can support my life there for 18 chapters ahead of the curve. I will be very grateful!
