Hello, everyone. If you're reading this, you may have read my other stories. I'm starting this one as a bit of a "getting back into it" story. (The synopsis will be further down) Both stories I've written will continue in the near future. (I have to re-read them because I've experienced a massive bout of memory loss.) Apologies for those of you waiting, but I had unavoidable circumstances that impeded my writing experiences. The cover isn't mine but it's been lightly photoshopped. If you want it taken down, tell me. (Signed by Author on April 25th, 2023) Anyways, time for the synopsis: Lia was a simple girl in her previous life. Well not really, considering she was the hit woman for the largest mafia organization that operated within the United States. Over the years, her exceedingly high kill count, and overall success rate was something to be afraid of. Her personality was something akin to pure confidence, bordering on arrogance. She dealt with people the same way she did her enemies. By ruining their lives in the most horrific ways. IE: Setting them up for FBI investigations, having their houses repossessed by the government, or even having them framed for a serious crime. Lia was someone that no one wanted to ever cross. If you did cross her, you might as well have signed your own death certificate! That was until she was smacked in the head by a falling piano. While following through on a hit, no less! I mean, come on! A piano?! that's unfathomably crazy. Well, despite getting hit by a literal piano, she still managed to finish the job. But the very next day, she choked on a sandwich and nearly died! Her luck seemed to have literally bottomed out. This "streak of bad luck" had continued in her life for years! Literal years! She had come so close to dying so many times that she was genuinely confused as to how this could happen to someone! From falling down a flight of stairs to nearly breaking her neck during a cartwheel (despite having so much experience that she could do them with her eyes closed.) Lia had experienced so many near-death experiences that she had become entirely immune to the weird circumstances happening around her. Eventually, the bad luck did catch her. She was minding her own business, walking through the streets of Seattle when a coin rolled across the ground and tripped someone else, who dropped an umbrella, which she tripped over. Her fall had her land directly into the flow of moving traffic. She was then hit by a small square-body pickup truck. It had a small sticker of a smug smiling face attached to its front bumper. Lia had died because of what was essentially a coin. A coin had actually managed to kill a human being. Not just any human, but one of the most feared people within the US. Warnings for all readers: -This novel will (at some point) contain lesbian sex scenes. -System tag doesn't mean in the most literal way. (you'll find out more if you read it.) -This may become a Yuri harem novel (haven't decided.) -Will contain very strong LGBTQ+ themes

As he unravels the mystery of his origins, he discovers a truth even more terrifying: the gods' fall was merely the beginning of an ancient and destructive cycle, and he is destined to either save or destroy the universe. With his newfound abilities, Arin wages a war against the gods themselves, battling their remnants in a brutal quest for vengeance and justice. But as he grows more powerful, the line between hero and monster begins to blur. Each victory comes at a steep price, and Arin must wrestle with the weight of his immortality and the consequences of his actions. His rage threatens to consume him, and the once-human boy begins to question if the price of vengeance is worth the destruction of everything he holds dear. In the final chapters, Arin must confront Zeraphon, an ancient god of creation and destruction, who seeks to merge with him and remake the universe in his image. Faced with the choice of becoming an immortal god or sacrificing himself for the greater good, Arin must make the ultimate decision—one that will either end the cycle or condemn the universe to eternal chaos. "Eternal Rebirth: The Fall of the Gods" is a high-stakes, action-packed novel of revenge, redemption, and cosmic balance. Filled with epic battles, shocking betrayals, and a deeply personal journey, it explores the consequences of power, immortality, and the price of love in a universe on the brink of collapse.
