Last Orders

Magic corrupts over time and the Starborn are the only ones that can cleanse it. A terrible tragedy ensured that Ash is the last Starborn left breathing and it now stops the gods from interfering in the world that they govern. A new god, an upstart that is only part of their pantheon in a singular world, offers a deal that none of them can refuse. He will create a connection between the world they can no longer touch and another. In exchange, he will join them in full, part of their number in all worlds they govern. The gods have no other choice. Some of them seek a way to save the world that will die without the Starborn. Some of them seek the loving connections they lost when they were forced away from the world. One of them seeks more power, the chance to build something new. Perhaps the world the Starborn kept from ruin will be saved or perhaps it will fall. Either way, there's entertainment to be had.

For a thousand years, the monstrous Alzarel has remained imprisoned, defeated by three legendary sorcerers and locked away in a cage reinforced by twelve mystical seals. Over centuries, these seals scattered across the world, hidden in ancient ruins, forgotten tombs, and even human vessels. Now, a fanatical group known as the Vortex Order has made it their mission to destroy the seals and release Alzarel, believing his return will bring them ultimate power. The Crimson Vanguard, a renowned order of warriors, has trained tirelessly to oppose them, waging a secret war to protect humanity from the shadows. But the balance shifts when eleven of the seals are destroyed, and the twelfth is revealed to reside within a seemingly ordinary 16-year-old boy. Hunted by the Oblivion Cult and barely protected by the Crimson Vanguard, he must navigate a world of hidden dangers, unraveling secrets about his destiny and the dark power he harbors. As the seals' destruction nears completion, the boy faces a harrowing choice: will he sacrifice himself to keep Alzarel imprisoned, or risk unleashing an ancient evil that could end the world?

After the judgment, the ire of God was revealed with the words: "Be cast unto eternal damnation!" And so it was that humans and jinns alike found themselves scattered across the Nine Circles of Hell, left to burn and suffer for eternity. Until after an untold number of eternities, an angelic voice called out, announcing God's decree: "One soul shall earn the chance to return to grace." Humans and jinns found a shimmering screen appear before their eyes, tallying their sins and something called 'Fragments of Divinity'. "Cleanse away your sins," said the voice. "Do what must be done!" Now, a human known as Wretched Nameless One—the only human found in the Ninth Circle—sets out on a journey to claim his spot in Heaven, tasked with fighting hellish monsters and devilish hell-dwellers competing to return to grace. Will he escape eternal torment and rise to grace or return to the everlasting cleansing fire once more?

The grand doors of Edelweiss Swordschool creaked open, revealing a vast courtyard surrounded by towering spires and the impressive silhouette of the castle. Lein stood at the entrance, his eyes wide with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. He adjusted the cloak around him, feeling the warmth of the earring given to him by his father's old swordmaster. As he stepped forward, a hand clapped down on his shoulder, causing him to turn. A fellow student, a girl of his age with fiery red hair and a mischievous glint in her eyes, grinned at him. "Hey there, new kid! You must be Lein, right?" she said with a playful tone. Lein gave a nod, managing a small smile. "Yes, that's me. Lein von Hrunting." "I'm Elara. Welcome to Edelweiss!" She gestured to the sprawling campus. "Come on, I'll show you around and help you get settled." As they strolled through the courtyard, Elara pointed out the training grounds, the library, and the various towers where students attended classes. Lein couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the school. "So, why did you come here?" Elara asked, glancing at him. Lein hesitated for a moment before replying, "My father believes I might have a talent for being a Spellblade, like him. He arranged for me to study here." "Ah, a Spellblade! That's impressive. You'll be training with the best of the best," she said with a grin. "That being said, you'll be expected to beat them if that is truly your goal." They reached the entrance of the castle, and Elara opened the door for Lein. The interior was just as imposing as the exterior, with polished marble floors and towering pillars. As they walked through the corridors, Lein couldn't shake the feeling that all eyes were on him. Elara led him to a room with a wooden door bearing the emblem of Edelweiss. "This is your room," she announced, pushing the door open. Inside, Lein found a neatly arranged space with a comfortable bed, a small desk, and a window that offered a view of the surrounding mountains. His luggage was already placed by the bed. "Your stuff arrived earlier. We've got a few hours before the welcoming ceremony, so take your time settling in. If you need anything, I'll be around." Elara said, giving him a friendly wave before heading out. Alone in his new room, Lein took a deep breath. This was the beginning of a new chapter in his life. As he unpacked his belongings, he couldn't help but wonder what challenges and adventures awaited him at Edelweiss Swordschool. Little did he know, the journey ahead would test not only his skills but also the mysterious power that lay dormant within him. The cloak of anonymity provided by the earring would prove to be both a blessing and a curse in the days to come.

What is Human? What is Evil? What is Good? What is Life? What is Death? What is a Beast?

Pride? Honor? What do those words even mean? I’ve never felt the need to indulge in such fleeting emotions. As long as I can survive another day, nothing else matters. Fame, power, wealth, even the affection of women—I’ll throw them all away in an instant if it means I can take just one more breath of freedom. The only thing that drives me now is the desperate need to escape this unrelenting enslavement. Magic has returned to the world. Divine artifacts, long thought to be lost, have resurfaced, bringing with them nothing but chaos. The gods have descended upon us, enslaving humanity and forcing us into their merciless game—the “God Games.” A cruel competition where we, the powerless, are nothing more than pawns on a living chessboard. Manipulated, controlled, and discarded for the gods’ amusement. But I am no pawn. I refuse to accept my fate. I will fight tooth and nail for my freedom. I will sacrifice everything—my pride, my honor, my humanity—if it means I can escape this nightmare and carve out a life of my own. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that survival is all that matters. And no matter the cost, I will live. —— Chapters 1-30 are primarily prologues building up to the first main arc. There will be world-building, action, betrayal, kingdom-building, and world-hopping, - Tags: Fantasy, Male MC, Schedule: 4 Chapters a week. (Unless I’m ill or stuff happens) Chapter length: 1300-3700 words Warning: The MC is not a forgiving character. He is not merciful and does not go around saving people in distress; he is an MC who only cares about himself; if you are looking for otherwise, this isn’t your cup of tea. This MC will have Character development, but he would be classified as an anti-hero, villain

Revan Kylo was born with a gift that felt more like a curse—his face could never show emotion, even though his heart was full of them. He felt joy, sadness, and anger, but the world only saw emptiness. From childhood to adulthood, his life was a stage of tragedy, leaving him shunned, abandoned, and forgotten. Everything changed when a mysterious portal transported him to another world—a realm of magic, mystery, and gods who toyed with human fate like pieces on a chessboard. In this new world, Revan found a fleeting happiness he'd never known. A woman named Liora Caelum, with her warmth and tenderness, taught him the meaning of love, family, and even how to smile. For the first time, Revan laughed. But that happiness was short-lived. A curse from the ruler of the gods took everything away—his loved ones, his newfound joy, and the hope that had just begun to grow in his heart. Left alone, Revan vowed to take revenge on the gods and reclaim something precious: the ability to express emotion on his face. Traversing dimensions, uncovering the secrets of the universe, and defying fate, Revan transformed from an ordinary young man into a force even the gods feared. Along his journey, he gradually regained his expressions—smiles, tears, and rage—leading to the ultimate climax: the final expression that would decide the fate of everything. "If I must defy the gods to become fully human, then I will shatter their thrones and tear down their heavens." The Last Expression is an epic tale of tragedy, vengeance, and the quest to become human in a world of divine chaos. Will Revan find his freedom, or will he become the monster he swore he’d never be?
