The Descent and The Magician
“If I told you she was a goddess, you’d be wrong.
If I told you she was the darkness itself… you’d still be wrong.
She’s much more—
And she makes eternity feel like home.”
Rowel is a wandering, flamboyant magician with a coat full of tricks. With a mind stitched together from the memories of others—a patchwork identity held together by forbidden magic and sheer audacity. He trades in secrets and stolen recollections, paying the price of memory with pieces of himself every time he wields his dark powers.
has never feared the unknown. Until he met her.
Ravenne is her name—an ancient, eldritch being draped in human skin and sovereign silence. Worlds crumble where she walks, stars dim when she dreams. She has never loved. Never cared. Never flinched.
But when Rowel stumbles into her realm by chance—or fate—fate-the performance begins, one he'd done before.
From cursed kingdoms to collapsing realities, from magical toy soldiers to royal horrors hidden beneath gilded halls, their journey spirals into something neither of them expected: intimacy, madness, and devotion.
As Ravenne slowly lowers her godlike veil and Rowel sheds his clownish smile, the boundary between human and divine begins to fray.
But when grief bleeds into vengeance and forbidden rituals awaken ancient darkness, only one question remains:
Can such an attraction survive a descent into something far beyond gods and men? ...or will devotion turn into destruction, when even eternity becomes too fragile to hold them?”
______________
"It feels much safer with you, Ravenne,"
"Safe... near me?"
There was a note of incredulity in her tone. Not mocking or cold. Just curious.
"I’ve unraveled worlds with less reason than a blink."
Her hand lingered, fingers grazing his cheek, featherlight. Almost reverent.
"Yet you curl beside me like I am shelter."
She knelt—elegantly, terrifyingly quiet—and placed her forehead to his for a moment.
"Then rest. If I am the reason you feel safe... then let that be true. Just for you."

Dear Readers, I'm a very happy to have reached this far even though my book may not meet the standards of webnovel yet. i want to thank every reader of mine for keeping up with the novel so far. Unfortunately, i have become so I'll for the past few days, and some things are not wrapping up well with me. i really love the descent and the magician and i can see a huge potential in this novel. I'm afraid for sometime I won't be able to upload due to my sickness, so the novel will be on hiatus. I've been diagnosed with Hippocampal Atrophy. Basically a stress induced disease that causes my nose to bleed due to rupture in one of the arteries connected to the brain. (Epistaxis for short—hard to pronounce all these medical matters) 🙂↕️🙂↕️ Even though i may have not bled in a while, some of the symptoms such as enlargement in the frontal lobe and decrease of the gray matter happen, causing me to lose weight from continuous stress and lose my vision. Over all! Please remember your life and it's worth, and work hard. If you have someone you love, work for them and make sure they don't see the world you see. see you guys around! hope you continue supporting the novel, and I will be sure to find a way to make it up to you all!
Alright, so I finished even chapter 3, and all I can say about the first 3 chapters, is that the girl confused me as well as the reader lol. Your writing is even better than before, and every sentence to the subject, I understood more clearly. I don't know about you, but we have different ways of seeing characters. Rowel, his attitude and gestures, his choices of jokes and sarcasm reminded me of my favorite Jack Sparrow!!!! Very well portrayed ! Well for me at least! As for the girl, she remains mysterious because I still have questions why she was there like rowel lmao. Or perhaps I lack the grammar or comprehension and would need to read more to further understand her since this is my first time knowing her. I love when you mentioned black rabbits. They're my favorites! I look forward to reading more chapters!
Love Rowel's character. He's charming, sarcastic yet something super mysterious about him that makes him both infuriating and fun. And author's thoughts at the end of each chapter? Keeping it lighthearted and humane so keep it coming. Excited for chapter 2.
Honestly i don't read much, but it's hard to find something easy to read through and this is my first time getting into something like this webnovel seems to have these genres a lot but what I like about the author's style is how they made something unique and not a whole book in a title. My honest opinion, this should be drawn into a manga. This shit is done right but one suggestion to the author is to tell the reader more about the main character, I have a feeling that its all a rewind event.. Overall, you're a goat who wrote this.
I'm going to be honest. This story is one of a kind and it feels like I'm just reading a manhwa, not something too hard to understand and as far as i read I loved everything except the fact that there isn't enough yet! we are only given 2 chapters and that's all. I'm sure people will need more chapters to be invested in the story![img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update]
So the author of this book is a good friend of mine and I've known AND read his works for a while now. So far none was not engaging. The author is very hard working when it comes to his writing and I can see that in even his previous works. I love their style so much! See how the story shifts from Horror to comedy and finally a hint of romance? it's very hard to connect these together and I know it! Think of it as reading the beginning after the end or lord of mysteries. shifting is hard, and only someone with a talent for writing can do it and keep the readers on their toes. [img=angry] I wish everyone supports the author's works, and I hope he is convinced to publish more of his novels that many people will loooove to read!! [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]
