Death punishment: Quest for vengeance (book 1)
In 1950, a cosmic event reshaped the world. Ordinary people awakened extraordinary abilities—some benevolent, others catastrophic. To control the chaos, hero organizations formed, offering power, wealth, and status in exchange for loyalty and strength.
For decades, the system held.
Ember City became the symbol of that fragile balance—until it nearly vanished.
Five years before the present day, a Demon King threatened to erase the city entirely. Two legendary heroes, Tempestia and Moon-Light, defeated the demon and sealed it within a stone statue. The victory came at a cost. Both heroes disappeared. The world believed they died. Others believed they chose to vanish.
Peace followed.
But the seal did not last forever.
On Thanksgiving night, five years later, a villain known as Oblivion shattered the statue that bound the Demon King. The demon returned—stronger, prepared, and ruthless.
Ember City fell.
Heroes rushed to defend it. Civilians were caught in the slaughter. Streets burned. Blood soaked the ground.
Among the defenders was Black Mentis, the strongest hero alive—and Alan Winchester’s father.
Mentis led the heroes into battle against the demon army. But before dawn, the fight took a fatal turn. Oblivion revealed his true hand, ambushing Mentis alongside a mysterious cloaked man. Betrayed and overwhelmed, Black Mentis was mortally wounded.
Knowing he would die—and that the city was already lost—Mentis cast a forbidden spell.
The spell gathered the power of every hero who had fallen that night—every strength, every ability, every fragment of will—and transferred it into one vessel.
His son.
Alan Winchester.
The spell saved nothing else.
Black Mentis died as the sun rose. Ember City lay in ruins.
Alan survived—but his body was never meant to contain such power. The inheritance burns inside him, tearing at his limits, threatening to destroy him from within.
Grief leaves him hollow. Rage gives him direction.
The truth of his father’s death—and the role Oblivion and the cloaked man played in it—drives Alan away from what remains of his old life. His path leads him to China, where ancient disciplines, brutal training, and forces beyond modern hero society begin reshaping him.
He is no longer training to be a hero.
He is training to become something else.
This is not a story about heroes and villains.
It is the story of a boy crushed by inheritance, reshaped by loss, and hardened by survival—moving through a world of hidden realms, infinite realities, and beings that rival gods.
Alan’s choices will decide more than revenge.
But revenge is where his journey begins.
