Demons Among Gods

A reckless Earth adventurer (also a gamer) dies and is reborn in Celestia—a stunning, dangerous world filled with powerful creatures, diverse races, extraordinary beings, and formidable warriors and mages. Eric finds himself in a countryside orphanage with barely any recollection of his current family's whereabouts. He also unexpectedly discovers that a mysterious girl silently inhabits him. During his soul's journey from Earth to his birthplace, a strange injury occurred, splitting his essence and creating a second soul inside him—this girl. This girl (a unique soul mutation) lacks the ability to physically intervene in the world, but her unique nature grants capabilities beyond anyone's comprehension. In this world, all Mana Wielders, Beasts, and Creatures have their strength measured by their Ranks and four basic stats. No one in history has ever reached the peak of their Rank's stats. Thus, no one could fathom what lies at its zenith. Yet, due to this split soul, Eric now gains the ability to reach that peak. When he maxes his each stat at Rank 1, the powers he unlocks defy his wildest imagination. --- **Author's Note:** This novel has a steady start; don’t expect fast-paced power-ups until Arc 3. **Expect:** 1. **OP Protagonist**—OP doesn't mean the most powerful in the world. He must grind toward it at each Rank. 2. **Epic Battles**—Cataclysmic clashes, destruction, terrifying powers, formidable foes and beasts. (Not in early arcs.) 3. **Playful Protagonist**—Jokes internally but ruthlessly sharp when needed. 4. **Small Harem**—Multiple lovers/subordinates. It will not be excessive. 5. **Powerful Lovers/Companions**—Capable harem members who fight alongside him, not to be sidelined. 6. **Epic Adventures**—Emotional and intriguing quests/missions/story (Witcher/Elder Scrolls vibes). Adventure begins in Arc 4. **Warning:** Humor, Gore, horror, occasional mature content. Smut? Undecided—reader input welcomed. --- Updated daily or every second day. -- Read 50 Chapters Ahead, Includes Character and Other Images. https://www.patreon.com/Asura009 ---
