Calamity has struck the world, Solemn Grace. A seemingly endless number of strange invaders have assaulted the world. All bent on killing and looting every denizen of that world. 

Unkillable but able to kill anything that challenges them. The force titled the “swarm” drives the world into dire straits. Forced with little choice the Righteous Sects gather the world’s geniuses and attempt to ally with the Demonic Sects. 

However, they are refused. Indignant this allied force chooses to handle the Demonic Sects first. And so, a great battle unfolded between the three leaders of the Demonic Sects and the allied forces that would be come to called the Undaunted Cloud. 

Unbeknownst to them the leader of the Demonic Sects, Qing Ruo Xuan Yu, had long intend to join them. Albeit in a way they would never guess. 

Do you wish to see what happens when the final fate of a world is left to a monster known as the Devourer of Hope? To ponder if any sacrifice is too great?

Solemn Grace is a story in which instead of the hero or an anti-hero going back in time the villain is the one who does

Solemn Grace

The Cloud Garden was destroyed and what remained of it was just the thirty-seven chairs and the formation. It was now completely exposed to the clear skies that surrounded it. 


The room remained connected to the tower that once supported it by a stream of transparent ice.  So, clear that it seemed the remains of the Cloud Garden was floating in the sky. 


In the center of the room, Xuan Yi had taken control of completing the formation. While Feng Yue sat in the centermost chair.  


Each word was slow, hoarse and painful. Liu Wenji who could be mistaken for a withered, dried-out corpse. Slumped in the seat that was hers. 


"In our arrogance, we did not think. We did not think they could strike the Cloud Garden." 


The regret in her sunken eyes carried through to her rasping voice. And if tears existed in her they would be shed. 


"Rest easy, sister, it was 'my mistake' (due to my actions)." 


Confusion crossed her and the intuition she had ignored screamed at her. Her thoughts spun, and insight flashed. She tried to speak, give a warning but she lacked the strength. Her discovery using up the last bit of life she could muster. 


Her eyes closed heavily with regret. An arrogant fool and a twisted monster. Was her last thought. 


Liu Wenji unable to hold on seemed to slowly fade away. Dying just like Duo Wen before her. 


Out of the thirty-seven, only one was filled now. Feng Yue who now sat in the center laughed. Sounding half-mad he leaned back and looked up into the sky. 


"Losing always has such a bitter taste… can you finish it?" 


Feng Yue asked his gaze on Xuan Yi's back. The latter seemed to think for a moment and then stopped working on the formation. Confusion flittered onto Feng Yue's face. As Xuan Yi turned to face him.
