The God of Mischief and Madness
In a world that has forgotten its gods, Dio only wants one thing; to protect Anya, the girl who makes his broken world feel whole. But peace is a fragile lie, and the Citadels, the silent monuments appearing in the sky since the end of the war, have begun to stir.
When Anya is Marked by the Reverie, a realm of dreams and trials shaped by forgotten gods, Dio follows without hesitation. What begins as a desperate act of love soon becomes something far stranger: a journey through mirrors, memories, and impossible truths.
Because the Reverie doesn’t give power. It reveals it.
And guiding the threads from behind the veil is the man with mismatched eyes and a golden ring.
He remembers the age before the gods fell.
He remembers what it cost.
And he believes Dio may be the key to something greater… or the spark that ends it all.
To love. To lie. To become divine.
The trials are beginning.
The age of stagnation is ending.
And someone has to choose what comes next.
peak. lmao sorry for shameless author review, but I feel like I actually cooked with this one :D I don't really know what to say really so I'll keep it simple. I've drawn inspiration from many stories over the years, but most notably from Shadow Slave and Lord of the Mysteries, which influenced my recent obsession with webnovels. Shadow Slave in particular influenced some of the story elements, a few of which I’ve adapted directly. That said, I’ve reworked them to serve the story I’ve been developing for over a decade. It’s less about imitation and more about finding a vessel that finally let me express the ideas and emotions I’ve been carrying for years. While the roots may be familiar, I’ve shaped them with my own twists, themes, and direction, and I believe the story stands firmly on its own. As for how often I will update, I'm not trying to get a contract so aiming for one a day, although in my final year of school, might be difficult. Thanks! :P
