Rise Of Hades' Hellborn: Trumpets Of The Damned
When demon hunter Myles Cross is killed during a mission gone wrong, he expects hell—or worse. What he gets instead is an offer from the Lord of the Underworld himself.
Reborn as the Hellborn, Myles becomes Hades’ last hope in a cosmic chess game where the Seven Trumpets—ancient relics powerful enough to trigger the apocalypse—have begun to surface. With one strapped to his wrist in the form of a mysterious watch, Myles must now face a brutal new reality: hunted by demons, betrayed by humans, and haunted by what he's becoming.
As the Paragon—an elite faction sworn to exterminate all supernatural threats—capture him and question his existence, Myles finds an unlikely ally in the cold but conflicted Lieutenant Anna Storm. Together, they must survive assassins like the sadistic Kaelin, the shape-shifting shadow Nixx, and the monstrous Infernox.
But as each trumpet awakens, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. And with his powers growing and his past life crumbling, Myles must decide—
Is he the world’s last defense?
Or its doom incarnate?

Chapter: Ashes Of Requiem Sorran moved through the ruined Paragon corridors like a phantom made of death. Black flames licked at the walls behind him, eating metal and soul alike. His footsteps made no sound, but his presence crushed the air like a thunderstorm bearing down. His skeletal helm glowed faintly, reflecting the distant shimmer of containment cells rupturing in violent bursts.His mission was not conquest. It was orchestration.The first trumpet had sounded, but not fully. Not yet.He had brought the instrument of chaos with him. The Watch—its polished obsidian shell smooth as mirror glass—hung at his side, cloaked in dimensional stasis. He could feel its hunger. Its song longed to be heard.And so did Myles.Sorran didn’t need to hunt him. Destiny would guide him straight.He stepped over scorched bodies, their faces frozen in horror. Mortals who had thought they could protect the world. Naive.He stopped as a Paragon mech unit blocked his path. The giant warframe locked on, target indicators flash

Chapter: The First Trumpet Sounds The night at the Paragon base was unnervingly quiet. Security lights pulsed dimly along the sterile halls, casting long shadows that crawled across the floor like restless spirits. The reinforced boarding rooms were filled with the heavy breathing of off-duty soldiers lost in deep, dreamless sleep. Exhaustion had taken them like a lullaby.All except two.Myles sat on the edge of his bunk, drenched in sweat, shirt clinging to his back, breath uneven. The vision from Hades still burned behind his eyes—ash falling from a dead sky, the black columns, the cracked hourglass. And Sorran. The name felt like poison in his throat.He hadn’t moved since waking up. The digital clock blinked steadily on the wall: 3:12 AM. The hum of the suppressor field gnawed at his nerves.“The Black Flame walks again,” he whispered to himself. “And Hades is conveniently bound by ‘cosmic law.’ Figures.”He stood abruptly, pacing. The room felt smaller than usual. Tighter. Like the walls were leaning in to liste

Chapter: Ashes Between Realms Myles sat on the edge of his Paragon-issued cot, elbows on knees, hands laced, eyes blank. His quarters were about the size of a janitor's closet, with white walls that smelled like disinfectant and reeked of containment. There was no window, just a single metal door and the low, ever-present hum of energy suppressors embedded in the walls.A surveillance camera blinked red from the top corner, watching. Always watching. He wondered if they even bothered reviewing the footage anymore or if it just fed into some bottomless archive for bureaucrats to ignore.His fingers twitched.Something was off.The temperature dipped sharply—cold, not the clinical cold of AC but the bone-deep chill of a tomb. His breath misted. The air went thin.Then—Blackout.The fluorescent lights overhead sputtered and died with a pop, plunging the room into darkness.But it wasn’t just his room that vanished.Reality itself fractured.The walls, the floor, even the pressurized air—gone. Myles stood in an alien

Chapter: The Black Flame In the heart of Kaelin’s underground chamber, the summoning circle began to pulse—a seething array of glyphs glowing blood red across the obsidian floor. Every wall in the chamber trembled with the pressure of what was being called forth. The air turned viscous, humming like a distorted bassline from the depths of a dying star.Kaelin descended the spiral staircase carved into the stone, each step echoing like the ticking of a doomsday clock.The cultists knelt before the sigils, their voice taut with strain as they chanted in an ancient tongue. With every word, their bones seemed to creak under pressure.The circle burst open—wind howled inward, dragging light and heat into the void at its center.From it stepped a tall, ragged figure wreathed in flickering black flame. Its face was cloaked in a metallic mask etched with infernal runes, and its hands were wrapped in barbed gauntlets that radiated cruel heat. Charred wings fluttered briefly behind its back before crumbling to ash.The

Chapter: Hell's Gate, Heaven's Prison Myles came to with a jolt, breath sharp, chest rising as if he’d been drowning. The sterile white walls surrounding him buzzed with overhead fluorescent lights, humming like an irritated wasp’s nest. He didn’t need to guess where he was—Paragon’s detainment unit. Again.His eyes scanned the room until they landed on the one familiar face that didn’t reek of authority or suspicion.Louise.The older man sat cross-legged on a cot opposite him, arms folded, worry clouding his weathered face.“How ya feeling, kid?” Louise asked, voice low and thick with concern.Myles rubbed the back of his neck, wincing at the soreness from the high-voltage arrow. “Honestly? I think they’ll need to hit me with something stronger next time. I’m getting used to the aftereffects of this one.”Louise chuckled, though the sound was hollow. “Tough bastard. But we can’t keep waking up in holding cells and calling it resilience.”Myles nodded slowly, his expression tightening. “Is there any way we’re getting out

Chapter: Herald Of Famine"I am Vhorak," it growled, its voice crackling like dying embers underfoot. Each word reverberated in the air, thick and suffocating. "Herald of Famine. Soul-Seeker. You carry the scent of the Hades-bound. Where is he?"Alpha Team reacted with military precision."Engage!" Anna barked, her voice cutting through the tension.Jack and Leo opened fire without hesitation, unleashing precision rounds that struck Vhorak square in the chest. But the bullets fizzled into nothing upon impact, as if swallowed by the creature’s dark aura."Bullets aren't doing a damn thing!" Leo growled, reloading as he rolled behind a scorched pillar.Alex darted left, sleek in her combat gear, her boots crunching broken glass. She lobbed a plasma grenade with practiced ease. It detonated in a pulse of blue fire, shaking the ground and momentarily obscuring the demon in flame."Come on, come on," Melissa muttered, fingers dancing across the tablet secured to her arm. "Deploying spectral dampeners now!"With a h

Chapter: A Fiery EncounterHikari gave a maniacal grin while he surveyed the destruction he had created. Around him were burning buildings and police cars. He was at Makuso's apartment to abduct him but did so none too quietly. Some concerned neighbors tried to call the police and after a tough fought battle which to Hikari had been like playing a game of chess, they had eventually fallen. " Makuso consider this your final warning" Hikari said and watched the drama of his wife and children holding onto him while he tried to disentangle himself. " I will leave with you but you have to promise me that my family will remain safe" Makuso replied. Hikari gave a nod of consent and once again evaluated the archeologist, he was a fairly handsome man in his late forties and with the beginning of a paunch pressing at his beltline. In the face of danger he managed to keep a stoic expression which Hikari, inspite of himself, admired. His family, however, were distraught. The wife was pleading with him to let her hu

Chapter: The Fall Of The SavagesRyu stepped forward, his eyes scanning the room. Ten pairs of hostile eyes stared back. The Savage Lions formed a semi-circle around him, trapping him."Take him down!" Kazuki shouted, retreating to safety. Ryu drew his katana, its blade gleaming in the dim light. The air thickened with tension.The first attacker, a burly man with a baseball bat, charged. Ryu sidestepped, using the momentum to fuel his counterattack. A swift slash sent the bat flying, followed by a precise kick that sent the man crashing into the wall.Nine remaining opponents closed in. A knife-wielding thug lunged. Ryu parried with his katana, then delivered a rapid combination of punches, sending the attacker stumbling back.Two more assailants rushed forward, one swinging a chain, the other wielding a pistol. Ryu dodged the chain's wild swing and disarmed the gunman with a swift kick. The chain-wielder stumbled into the line of fire, and Ryu took advantage, striking him down.

Chapter: A Shadow's Imitation III"Kage no Shūen Kage no Shūen" Ryu began softly and felt that the darkness eating away his soul receded a bit. "Kage no Shūen Kage no Shūen" Ryu repeated and fired it back towards Kage, who having seen it coming, promptly leaped out of way...After the dust cloud settled, Ryu saw Kage approach him." All that in a day's work, your ancestors called that the shadow imitation technique" he smiled. " It was used to mirror someone's attack back at them but a somewhat shadowy variant" " Can it be used to mirror fire related attacks" asked Ryu. " Hmm... Tricky... Yes probably but you might need some help from the entity though.***" Kazuki Masahiro, twenty years old with a slight build. An expert at Intel gathering and reputed to be the head of the Savage Lions, sure enough he and Hikari were buddies" Hanzo declared. Hayato smiled as he borrowed a phase from Ryu. " Why am I not surprised?" " Yeah his best friend as it turns out, his gang specializes i

Chapter: A Shadow's Imitation IIThe attack found its mark and knocked the air out of Ryu while the environment around him changed. " Till we meet again Ryu" Kage said, his voice sounding like he was speaking at the other end of a long tunnel...Ryu jerked awake in his room. " Phew back to the land of the living" he joked and had a shower before going to the KoKuryūkai tactical room which was overlooking the training room. There, he met Kenshi watching a training Hayato and Kasumi. " You're up late today" Kenshi observed. " Yes Master, I was busy with Kage" Ryu replied." Kage? Who is this Kage?". Kenshi said and glanced at him while raised a grey eyebrow. " He's my subconscious, sort of like a helper" Ryu said carefully." Hello Ryu!" Hayato called jovially and entered the room along with Kasumi. " Hanzo's calling our attention, I think he found something." Kasumi said.Soon enough Hanzo bursted into the room holding a laptop. " I think I've gotten a name, Kazuki Masah

Chapter: A Shadow's ImitationRyu found himself in the realm of his subconscious, his otherwise identical twin known as his subconscious had a somewhat expressionless mask slipped on his face. " What do I call you?" Ryu asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. " You may give me any name you so please, however, I can hardly see the use since I'm part of you" it replied. " Okay I'll name you Kage, can you tell me the source of my powers?"" Your lineage was one that once consisted of shadow weavers but during a time of it's rampant misuse, Lord Tetsujin decided to take away the power flow. However because you were a powerful shadow weaver in your previous life, you still had an affinity for shadows and enclosed spaces"" But if he stopped the power flow years ago why did he open it again? If he saw the need to close it the first time why did he open it now?" Said a confused Ryu. " I am sorry Ryu but that is one question I cannot answer" Kage replied with a stoic expression.Ryu gazed on while his mind raced. " Your

Chapter: The Ring Of TetsujinIt seemed that Ryu had just fallen asleep when the chirping of his phone awoke him. " Ryu Tanaka" came his curt reply. " Ryu, we have some information on the artifact Hikari might be looking for, so we need you to get down here" it was Hayato's voice. " Fine I'm on my way" Ryu said, his voice clipped from a hint of anger at being disturbed until he checked his watch. " Seven hours." He mumbled. It had felt like seven minutes, the reason behind his exhaustion was that he had engaged in a training bout with Kasumi and had found it mentally fatiguing.In the aftermath, he was sent on an operation to apprehend some criminals who had escaped from prison and promptly set off abducting wealthy individuals and then see demanding for outrageous sum of money for their release.Ryu ran a hand through his black hair which was all over the place as usual, sometimes he remembered the time when he'd once took a picture of his mother and his as a child then wonder what i
