"They called him a hero, a savior, but he is neither!" 

I am Lucas Lafayette Marie-Joseph Moses David Berger LaVoie. I used to be a soldier. But now, I am dragged into this situation.

They call themselves Fiercœurois, from Fiercœur, they asked for a savior, they found a guy who simply thinks about thoughts.

I looked at them. They said they needed my help. This country, in an upcoming civil war, tearing itself apart.

But one of them has to keep their power. Peace can't last long, everyone was scheming!

That is when I found out that they knew how to keep power. They told me: "People are sinners."

They are correct! They would do evil just to get ahead in life! You are lucky to find a good man!

Why did I fight for them? To gain power. Having virtue without power to use it is like punching the air, meaningless. I can have the purest soul, but if I can't do a single good thing, that means I'm evil! Better to hide an iron fist under a velvet glove than offer a woman flowers but be unable to love her!

I have done many things that will make heroes and villains kneel down to me or my compatriots. I shouted compassion, hatred, loyalty and treason.

And I will tell you myself. I am Proud of it! I am not American for now

Revolution... Sometimes it's either a shadow or a scream

This is not an apology. This is not redemption. It is a journey. After all, a life can be a journey itself.

This is my life. I am proud of it. I don't care if you hate me for the things I did.

Where does Fiercœur come from? Fier - proud, Cœur - heart.

Observe carefully, receiver of my message. There is something too little understand: sometimes, kindness is cruelty, and cruelty is kindness. This is more bitter than hemlock.

« La fortune ne favorise pas toujours les audacieux, mais le destin s'incline devant les puissants ! »

- Le Berger de Fiercœur

"Fortune does not always favor the bold, but destiny bows down to the powerful!"

[BOOK 2] This is a continuation of the first novel, and it is recommended that you read Return of the Demon Sovereign: Udanfold [MxM] before starting this one. •••• In the aftermath of their tireless wars against the Devils in the depths of Undanfold, Erebus and Leo find themselves in the realm of Halrland. As they navigate this new terrain, their enemies draw ever closer, their relentless pursuit threatening to unravel the fragile peace they've fought so hard to obtain. Erebus, haunted by the memories of his past as the Demon Sovereign, is in a constant battle to keep his identity hidden. The revelation of his true self would not only endanger his life but also the lives of those who stand by him. His inner turmoil is further complicated by the presence of Jericho and Kore and their plots to destroy Shadowbane. However, they must also face the greatest threat to the realms: the Titans. Their awakening could engulf the realms in chaos and destruction. Erebus and Leo must find a way to thwart Jericho and Kore's schemes while preparing for the imminent threat of the Titans. In Halrland, alliances will be tested, secrets will be unveiled, and the battle for survival will reach new heights. Erebus must confront his past and embrace his destiny to protect those he loves and prevent the realms from descending into darkness. The path ahead is fraught with peril, but with Leo by his side, Erebus is determined to face whatever challenges lie in wait. Genre: Fantasy|Action|MxM Trigger Warning: This novel contains fighting, blood, death, gore, and torture. It also contains mature language and scenes. Although this will have romance, it will not be the primary focus of the novel. I love Erebus and Leo (don't get me wrong), but I may love vengeance a little more.
