I Became the Hero and the Demon Lord

HJ_Crimson
In a world torn between light and darkness, a forgotten soul returns. Once bullied, mocked, and left for dead, Kael awakens with the fused souls of the world’s two greatest legends—the Hero Alaric and the Demon Lord Veyrion—locked inside him. But instead of choosing one path, Kael chooses them both. Using forbidden magic and a mind sharpened by divine knowledge, Kael creates two soul-bound clones: One, a radiant savior who becomes the world’s beacon of hope. The other, a ruthless demon god who spreads terror across the land. All the while, the real Kael remains in the shadows—cold, calculating, and watching the world dance in the palm of his hand. Let the world cheer for their hero. Let them tremble before their demon. In the end, both serve him. > This is the story of a forgotten soul who became the puppeteer of gods… and the true ruler of a world built on lies.

House of the Celestials: The Eclipsed Vault

Half a half-century after the events of the Crown of Stars, Terra stands transformed. On Terra, the shattering of the Grey— the mystical veil that once hid magic from mundane eyes—has fused two realities into one. Cities now share their skylines with floating citadels, arcane ley‑lines hum beneath once‑quiet streets, and ordinary Terrans awaken to powers they never dreamed possible. In the vacuum left by the fallen regimes, the mage‑conclave Octagram and the chivalric order Golden Dawn broker a fragile new world order alongside the rulers of the former Hidden World. Amid the upheaval, Samantha Sinclair—reborn as Asha’Yee, Keeper of the Sacred Flame—guides the newly awakened through their first sparks of power. Together with Emily Legens and her comrades she turns her focus to a deeper enigma: the vanishing of the legendary AurenIdril Empire, whose secrets may hold the key to stabilizing (or toppling) the newborn age. Every clue draws them closer to the mythic Eclipsed Vault, a place whispered to house the empire’s final legacy—and the reason the gods themselves fear Terra’s rise. Far from home, Leonard Haravok—now a full demigod—has returned to the Divine Federation and vanished from public sight. Rumors hint at celestial trials, forbidden bargains, and a destiny that could either save Terra or condemn it. As cosmic forces converge on the planet, Leon and Sam’s intertwined fates edge toward an inevitable collision—one that will test old loyalties, spark new alliances, and decide whether the light of the new era will blaze or be snuffed out before it can truly dawn. In a world where the veil is gone and the gods are watching, the greatest secrets lie in the shadows of the Eclipsed Vault—and unlocking them may cost more than anyone is willing to pay.
