What if the hero who was celebrated for defeating Hell lied to us all? When a high-stakes heist targeting the kingdom’s treasury leaves Luca with only his life and a seemingly simple calcite stone, he's unaware that he's holding the key to a centuries-old mystery. The legendary hero who had brought peace to the world for hundreds of years didn't tell the whole story. And while the world assumes Hell's resurgence is just another cycle of demonic invasions, the truth is far more complex, and the calcite stone is at the heart of it all. As Luca evades powerful forces - heroes more ruthless than villains, and the archdemons of Hell - he begins to uncover the nature of the hero's lie and the stone's true significance: it could either complete what the hero couldn't or unleash an even greater catastrophe. But Luca isn't interested in saving the world; he just wants to survive. Will the skills that kept him alive in the city be enough to save him from the dangers beyond? *** What to expect: - New chapters every Monday and Thursday - A slow-burn story (the protagonist has some advantages due to his background but will need to grow stronger to stand a chance) - First-person POV with complementary chapters (decimal-numbered) from other perspectives - Dark and mature themes set in a fantasy world where power and ruthlessness are the keys to survival
