I'm dropping this novel. It performs poorly and is taking up too much of my time. It may or may not return in time. In the aftermath of a cataclysmic event that abruptly brought the world to an end, Apophis, an Ancient Dragon of unparalleled power, found himself among the fallen. Yet, unlike the countless others who succumbed to the sudden demise, Apophis clung to a glimmer of hope. In possession of a long-forgotten token bestowed by a bygone god, he holds the key to resurrection. However, the token demands a slew of staggering prices that pushes him to the boundaries of magic, draconic might and science alike. As Apophis- no, Nemes- navigates the merged realities- a shattered world and its parallel-, he must grapple with shattered ancient powers and the echoes of a forgotten era, as well as the unfamiliar beings of an alternate reality. Moreover, he must grapple with his old self, Apophis, Gaia's Nemesis and the World's Destroyer. Will he master this fusion of magic and science, using it to reclaim his place in a scarred reality, or will the price of resurrection prove too steep, unleashing consequences that ripple through time and space? Going forward, chapters will be released on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. If a chapter does not release on a chapter release day, two will be uploaded on the next.
