Roderic05

In a world ruled by gods—ancient Greek gods, elemental deities, and even angels and devils—mortals are mere pawns in the hands of the divine. For centuries, humans have bowed before these gods, their fates decided by the whims of immortal beings.

But not all mortals are content to be ruled.

Amidst this divine hierarchy, Elias stands as a broken man, consumed by rage and a thirst for revenge. His family was slaughtered by the strongest of the gods, a being so powerful, so terrifying, that no mortal could even comprehend their true strength. Elias was left for dead, the ruins of his home smoldering as his family perished in the divine purge. All he has now is hatred and a singular goal: to gain power—enough to challenge the god who took everything from him.

His only hope lies in the Trial, a legendary dungeon created by the gods themselves. This dungeon is rumored to grant immense power to those who can survive its challenges, but there’s a catch: only the strongest can endure the Trial’s horrors.

Though Elias is weak, his burning desire for vengeance has awakened something within him—a mysterious ability known as Absorption. Whenever he kills an enemy, he can absorb their power, taking their strength for his own. But each victory comes with its own toll, and as Elias grows stronger, he learns that absorbing too much power can come at a great cost.

As he ventures into the Trial, Elias faces not only the powerful creatures of the dungeon but also divine obstacles set in place by the gods to protect their secrets. But with every challenge he overcomes, his power grows, and he begins to uncover the dark truth behind his family’s murder—the identity of the god who killed them.

With his newfound strength and a thirst for vengeance, Elias must decide whether to continue down the path of revenge, or to challenge the very gods who rule over the world. But time is running out, and the gods are not so easily slain.

Will Elias become the harbinger of a new era—one where gods no longer reign—or will he succumb to the trials and his own dark ambitions?

Trial Of The Fallen Gods

The battlefield was a storm of steel and sorcery. Elias, Althea, and Lyra fought with everything they had, but the spectral generals refused to fall easily.

[WARNING: THEIR STRENGTH IS INCREASING.]

Elias barely had time to react before Varkos, The Blade of Conquest, vanished in a blur-his speed doubled.

Elias barely raised his sword in time to parry,

but the sheer force sent him skidding backward. The cursed blade hummed as Varkos swung again, its aura seeking to drain Elias' remaining

through the air where his chest had been. Reappearing behind Varkos, Elias lashed out with Death's Touch-his sword flaring with necrotic energy.

The attack struck. Varkos staggered, his spectral body crackling as the necrotic energy ate away at him.

But before he could follow up, Sythra, The Shadow Tactician, reemerged-this time with dozens of copies.

Elias cursed. He couldn't tell which was real.

Lyra's hands flashed with crimson energy.

A circle of hellfire exploded outward, consuming the shadow clones. Most vanished instantly, but one stumbled back, real.

A wave of sheer bestial fury erupted from him, shaking the entire battlefield.

Sythra clutched his head, momentarily dazed.

He flickered forward, his blade driving straight into Sythra's chest.

The shadow tactician's form shuddered.

Then he crumbled into wisps of darkness.

SHADOW TACTICIAN, HAS BEEN DEFEATED.]

On the other side of the battlefield, Althea struggled against General Draven, The Blood Reaper.

He was monstrous every wound she inflicted

Althea dodged a wild slash, her breath ragged.

But then-Elias' roar echoed across the battlefield.

It was a brief opening, but enough.

Althea's hands glowed with divine light.

A beam of searing radiance shot from her staff, engulfing Draven completely.

The bloodthirsty general howled as the light burned away his spectral form.
