Hello, my kind readers! This is mora. I am writing this section as a means of granting the reader some additional information about what 'Demon's Reign is and how it's being made. As I am writing this I have just finished editing ARC 1 and have drafts for the next 3 ARC ready to go.

Now, first of all, Demon's Reign as a concept was initially created over 12 years ago. Back then, when I was still an angsty teen I became fascinated by how people are reacting to the entire 2012 end of the world thing, an over blown bubble made of countless 'what ifs'. And so I started my own 'What if'. What if the world was invaded by massive building sized, kaiju-like demons. What if those demons destroyed the world? Several characters were born from these countless scenarios and soon a central plot was born. But that was not enough for me. I thought, 'But what would happen in 50 years after the end of the world? How would this new world function?' And this became the setting of what we now call 'Demon's reign'. Of course at that point it didn't even have at title.

After 10 or so years of plotting the story as my life continued to progress, I never thought I would actually start writing it. To get this out of the way, 'Demon's reign' is not my first book, nor is it my only long-term project. It's just that at this time I primarily focus on writing song lyrics. To be honest I am far from being able to call it a full time job, maybe a side hustle? Anyways, back to the main to topic. Two years ago, I got the brilliant idea of starting a webcomic. I found an artist and we began working on preproduction. I believe back then the working title was still 'Souls of the end' (haha). A couple of months passed and my artist left without saying anything, he simply stopped working on the project without telling me, or so I was informed by a common acquaintance. I got angry and decided to turn all of the storyboards I had produced into a novel and here we are.

Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.

For ARC 1 my intention was quite simple. I had to write a prologue that would compliment the story further down the line. I am unsure of how well I was able to achieve what I set out to do but It's quite interesting to compare it to the later arcs because of how different it is, both in tone and style.

This was everything I wanted to say. I'll talk to you more after the end of the next arc and hope that you continue reading my story.

Love,

~Mora
