PureDarkness

[NOVEL STATUS]
Unfortunately, I've decided to pause the story and it's unlikely that I'll continue it in the future. I realized that I needed to start fresh and create a story with better quality.
I had two options: either to rewrite all the current chapters or start a completely new story. After thinking it over, I chose to end this novel and focus on a new one. The new novel is still in progress and hasn't been published yet on the platform. I'm taking my time to ensure that it's perfect before I share it with you all. It might take some time, but I'm determined to make it the best possible story that I can create.
I want to thank my small community that has been reading Demonic Contractor. You guys are awesome! And if some of you liked the characters, I think you'll be happy to know that the new story will take some inspiration from Demonic Contractor in certain aspects.

[Excerpt of chapter 0]
The God of Creation created a space called the void, then to fill it he created a new space and added matter and constraints. He named the constraints he used to shape reality, laws of reality. These laws reshaped the new space and life, planets and stars were created. 

One of the five primordial laws of reality states that the end is never truly the end, it is nothing but a state. This law is known as the cycle law, it is absolute and cannot be broken. 

Life is no exception, it also follows the cycle law. The end of life is not a true end, it's only the beginning of death. But what happens after death? 

Does death escape this law of reality? Is it a true end? Or does something new start? 

Death is only a state, and it is not a frozen one, it can be changed. It also a force that ensure that souls of the dead don't come back to life, it's an opposite force to the cycle law. 

The cycle law may be absolute, but death is not easily defiled. For the cycle law to manifest, one must have a powerful will to live that doesn't weaken against whatever trial comes before him. 

All souls of those that attempt reincarnation and fight Death will have to face a pain that can't even be explained with words or compared to any over kind of suffering, it's what can be called absolute suffering. 

The soul is crushed by the invisible force that is Death, the closer the souls get to the gates of reincarnation the more the force increases and the more pain becomes unbearable. 

Only those the souls can accomplish the trial of reincarnation and reach the end of the path can break free from the influence of death. It is only then that the cycle law can exercise itself on the soul and that the soul can be reborn into the mortal world.

The story of the first arc of the novel will revolve around a lot of different characters, and the story will be seen from different viewpoints. I think this will allow for a better reading experience by giving the user a better understanding of the different forces in action.


I want to show that they are not truly evil or good. The reader will witness the actions of both forces involved in the first arc and will hopefully be able to see that there is not the bad guys side and good guys camp.


As for the division of the chapters, I will try to maintain a similar screen time for the different parties involved so that I can develop all of their stories.


Damian's apparition will be on the lesser side, as I plan to mostly follow the story of the confrontation. He will not be the "main character" of the arc in a literal sense. How either he will still be present and impact the confrontation of the first arc. They will also be chapters only about him and his adventures ​​that will intertwine with the main story of the arc.


I will make it so that the story stays interesting even if it is not revolving around Damian, so don't quit after reading this post, as you won't be here to regret it later.


I will post one chapter on Damian once every 4 to 5 chapters, and you can expect to get them by groups of two near the six month mark of his arrival in the forest. You can as well expect a minimum of 8 chapters about Damian to be posted at the end of the arc, the war will last 8 month and the last two month are focusing only on Damian and his advancement. Don't forget he has to stay 1 year in the curse land before meeting the guardian of the forest for a second time and receiving a huge reward.


Making a wild assumption, I would say that 1/4 of the first arc will revolve around Damian directly. The other 3/4 will not be about him, but will still serve his progression indirectly and give the reader more knowledge about IVENTAL Damian's new world.
