Boxer Rebellion

The victors of the Second Celestial Civil War were the council and the Goddess. What was strange, however, was that the traitor turned out to be Michael. Like Lucifer, he too was exiled... Just like me... Being in an unfamiliar universe with unknown powers was terrifying. Especially when being hated by both Angels and Demons didn’t exactly come with any perks. On the contrary, it meant my second life was constantly in danger. Allowing that to happen was impossible. No matter what, I would survive. The Multiverse could go to Hell... ________ The MC is someone who has taken over the body of Archangel Michael, essentially a reincarnation. His powers are at a Multiverse level but were split into 20 fragments and scattered across the Multiverse after the rebellion. In other words, he is just an ordinary mortal now. However, even as an ordinary mortal, Archangel Michael stands as a superior being among humans. In short, he’s a semi-OP protagonist. As for romance, I’m undecided. It might change later, but for now, there won’t be any.

To awaken an ancient force that will ensure their dominance for eternity. However, in the shadow of oppression, a spark of rebellion ignites. A diverse group of outcasts, warriors, and visionaries—each with their own reasons to despise the empire—join forces to fight back. Among them are a disillusioned imperial tactician, a spirited rogue from a forgotten tribe, and a mysterious artificer who holds the key to the empire’s darkest secret. United by their hatred of tyranny but divided by their ideals, the group must learn to trust each other as they unravel the mysteries of the empire’s power. From infiltrating heavily-guarded fortresses to uncovering allies in the most unlikely places, the rebellion wages a desperate war to reignite hope in a world consumed by despair. But with the empire’s grip tightening and betrayals lurking around every corner, can the rebellion rise like a phoenix from the ashes—or will they fall like countless others before them?

When the flames die down, will Elias be the saviour England needs—or the king it never expected?

Every villain has a backstory—a tragic loss, a moment of rejection, or a life tainted by hardship. They are shaped by the cruelty of the world, pushed to the edge by a string of misfortunes.

I embrace it because it is my dream, my desire, my rebellion against the predictable, the expected. I do not need a reason to be dark—I choose this. And that, in itself, makes me dangerous.
