Void of Veneration
“Rebirth of the Demon”
Sheng Cheon was once a feared demon of Murim, a being so powerful that even the heavens trembled before him. But after six thousand years of battles, betrayals, and bloodshed, his reign came to an end at the hands of the high realms. With his final breath, Sheng thought his journey was over.
But fate had other plans. Reborn in the fragile body of a 12-year-old boy, Alex, the second prince of a royal family in a world of weak mana, Sheng Cheon must confront the brutal realities of his new life. Stripped of his former strength and surrounded by the political intrigue of the royal court, he is burdened by the emotions of new bonds and the shadow of his demonic past.
Will he embrace his new life, rise as a knight, and protect his new family? Or will the demons of his past compel him to conquer this new world, just as he did before?
With the mysteries of a royal treasure beckoning and an entire world to explore, Sheng Cheon must decide whether to remain the protector of this new life—or unleash the demon within.
I've noticed that some of you are dropping the story due to the early chapters. Please read at least 18 chapters to give it a fair try, and I hope you will enjoy it.
Hello. You posted a comment asking for honest reviews, so here is mine. Though I do not prefer this particular genre, I am an avid reader. The first thing I would like to mention is that you have the makings of a great story here. The main character is witty and endearing even in his overbearing arrogance. The supporting characters, though, feel like more of an afterthought; as if they only exist as they interact with the main character and have no background of their own. I understand that, by only reading as far as chapter 15, I have not seen the full extent of your vision, but that brings me to my second point. The writing is not hitting the mark of fluidity one would hope to find in a published work, such as this. There are passages that are well written, engaging, and entertaining. Then, there are passages with so many errors in grammar and punctuation that they are difficult to read through and even distract from the story. I acknowledge that this could be from an effort at editing as I do believe that by editing from top to bottom, this could be resolved. Finally, I understand that you have begun releasing an updated version of this story from another account. I will only say, it may have been a better choice to edit this version or mark it as abandoned so as not to confuse readers who want to follow your story. I am glad to know that you are sticking with your creation and working to improve it. It just concerns me that your potential audience may grow wary of your commitment to seeing this through to the end. Ultimately, I truly believe that with patience and editing, you can find success with this story. I wish you all the best.
Author here, I just want to thank all of you for reading my novel. English is not my native language, so I hope you will forgive me for my grammatical errors and misuse of words sometimes. Also this is my first work so the starting chapter quality is not definitely the best but I am improving myself with each chapter so you freely can give it a try, the story is getting good as I am finding writing really enjoying... also after this arc I am gonna refine the whole work but don't worry the content is not gonna change just going to adjust minor cliches and repetitive sentence... Thanks for reading.
I think its a good story with an engaging male character also he is ruthless and develops every chapter but still, I think author needs to focus on a little refined writing that way I think it will be better for story in long term still I really liked it waiting for future updates
Quite an interesting story, transitioning from the murim to a fantasy world. I really like it! Keep up the great work.
