Fallen War God Novels & Stories

William corrected. The man who still earned the nickname "The Strongest God of War" didn't like the idea of people misunderstanding Riley. He still wanted his son to be known as one of those soldiers who wouldn't kill his opponent. That would make him a prouder father. According to him, the mistakes he had made in the past should not be made by Riley. He was once known as the "God of Death" because of his great killing ability, but then he turned into a general who was able to defeat enemies without killing them.

The horizon glowed with the first hints of dawn as Rayka stood at the crest of a ridge, surveying the battlefield below. The enemy stronghold, carved into the jagged mountainside, loomed ominously. It was a fortress of steel and stone, bristling with defenses and cloaked in a thick veil of intimidation. Every brick of that fortress symbolized the new faction’s hold over their world, and Rayka’s heart ached at the thought of the lives already lost to this escalating war.

For Kalias, who had waited so long for his revenge, the things he felt were contradictory; the loyalty that seemed to well up in his chest and the gentle way the Goddess's eyes rested on him—but the fallen one had decided that he would not be shaken, nor would he forget his purpose. "How will you... change what has already happened?" he asked when he met Aynur the next day. His eyes were filled with doubts, especially... if there was still a part of the human he had kidnapped, or if now, only the Goddess resided in that body.

And I watched, from two paces away, blood blind in one eye, as the ascension of the Sigen Lord failed. The armor cracked. Plate by plate, the black abyssal shell splitting along lines that hadn't been there, and what bled out of the cracks was unstable energy, red-gold-dark and ragged, unfinished god rotting off him in real time, the purchase failing because the payment had stopped. The glow in his eyes guttered. And he knew it. I watched him know it, watched the knowledge go through the ruin of him, and then the being who had arranged a war like a man arranging a harvest, who had thanked us for the final deposit, came apart into his single notes, and one of the notes was panic.

he said, “you burn out. Whatever’s inside you, the thing that fuels the Starbrand, that silences the god, it consumes you. Entirely.” Her voice, barely audible: “And if I spare her, ” “She kneels,” he said. “The mirror-children collapse. The armies fall quiet. The war ends.” A pause. “But the God Below rises.” She didn’t flinch. Didn’t cry. Only gravity filled her lungs. Kael closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, something had cracked behind them. “I'm certain enough,” he said softly, “that I wrote your name in the Book of Endings.”

Elias turned toward the three who had once sat highest among the Ascended. Cassiel looked up at him, expression empty. “Do what you must.” “I will.” Elias raised a hand, divine fire crackling in his palm. “Because if the gods fell once for their lies—” His voice dropped. “—they will fall again for mine.”

But I know that he must be nearby. I typed: “Evan, could you do me a favor?” However, no one reacted after the words were typed for a long time. After I took off my equipment and put it down again, only half of my blood was left. System: Lucifer’s madness erupted and she activated the Slaughter mode. A large poison was released, and the invisible Phantasm beside me was immediately beaten out. I received three more small poisons. System: God of War died. Looking at the crops lying on the ground, I manipulated the character to sit beside the crops and typed: “Why did you switch your account again and give it such a disgusting name?”

You’er Father was one of the Fallen’ Sensing my confusion she decides to explain. ‘The Fallen are the group of angels that left heaven, not wanting to be controlled or restricted by the laws of God. Vic as he goes by, fell in love with your mother and had you. When you were born, your father knew he had to protect you, not only from the other Fallen but other wolves and humans. When I say you are special Lizzy, you really are’ I sit up actually intrigued now.

The words settled over me feeling heavy and final, but I wouldn't let it be final. "I know what you are," I said quietly. "A fallen god, but I don't know why or what you did." He turned away from me then and walked a few steps towards the wall. For a moment I thought he wasn't going to answer, but when he spoke his voice was low and edged with pain. “I broke the first law." I waited knowing he was going to continue. “In the beginning when the realms were divided the gods ruled through balance. Creation and destruction, life and decay and the Aeschylus of them held their place. I was born of war and my purpose was to protect the human world from what lurked beyond it."

The Ash she cared about had been replaced with a ruthless general, a tool of the empire, whose very name had become a symbol of the regime’s cruelty. Yet, when she knelt beside the tub on the fourth night, the familiar steam swirling around them, something inside Nia stirred.
