betrayal

Note: If you are a fan of stories like Lord of the Mysteries, then Grand Ascension is for you. .... Makun's life has been cursed since birth, or so he thought. When spiritual chains binding his soul begin to break, he discovers his failures weren't bad luck. Someone has been feeding off him for years. Now awakened to a world of mystics and predators, Makun must fight to survive, uncover who chained him, and claim the power that was stolen from him. But in a world where every deal costs a piece of your soul, how much of himself will be left when he finally ascends?

Once, he ruled the heavens—an emperor of light, unrivaled and eternal. But betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, and a single misstep casts him from his celestial throne. Banished, stripped of divine power, he tumbles into a world of mortal cruelty, where gods are whispers and survival is earned through blood and cunning. In this harsh realm, kingdoms clash, shadows conceal deadly plots, and ancient powers awaken in forgotten corners. Allies emerge from the unlikeliest of places—rogue sorcerers, lethal assassins, and mystical beasts—while enemies, both human and divine, close in with relentless fury. Yet the heart of a sovereign cannot be broken. Every battle ignites legend, every decision reshapes fate. His journey is not just about reclaiming the heavens—it is a war to redefine destiny itself, to wield a power that even gods dare not challenge. In a world where betrayal, ambition, and myth collide, only the cunning survive—and the banished sovereign’s rise will either shatter realms or forge a new order that none will forget.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

“This world is built on lies. If you want to keep it alive, make sure none of them are exposed. They must never reach his ears.” As long as Shuu could remember, these words had governed his life. Abandoned at the grand temple and forsaken by the gods, Shuu grew up powerless in a world that valued nothing else. Survival was never guaranteed, especially for someone like him. Yet he had one talent-he could read fortunes, and he never got them wrong. His future was decided early. He would serve the temple until his debt was paid, then fade away. But during the Hero’s fortune reading, Shuu made a single mistake. One moment was enough to strip him of his place and throw him into exile-only to be taken in by the very Hero who caused it, a man whose presence turns Shuu’s life completely off course. And as Shuu is pulled deeper into the Hero’s path, he begins to realize that something about the Hero and his companions is deeply wrong-something he cannot yet name, but cannot ignore. __________ Please leave a review.
