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: The Gate Beneath The Ice Siberia did not welcome them. The transport plane rumbled to a stop on the snow-blasted ridge, its steel frame groaning from the subzero temperatures. Wind howled across the tundra like a dying god, lashing their suits with powder-fine snow. Myles stepped off the ramp first, the wind catching the hem of his charcoal trench coat. The cold bit like razors, but he barely flinched. Anna followed, her visor scanning the endless expanse of white. Jack, Melissa, Leo, and Alex disembarked in quick succession, their petanium-loaded weapons secured and eyes sharp. "Welcome to hell frozen over," Jack muttered, hoisting his rifle. "So where's our gate to damnation?" Anna activated her tracker. "Coordinates lead us through that ravine. Half a klick east. No signs of life, but there’s residual heat buried beneath the ice crust. Something’s down there." They moved in tight formation. Snow crunched beneath their boots. Above, the sky was a bruised gray, low and oppressive. Myles walked slig

Chapter: Shadows Over Ice The interior of the Paragon stealth transport was cold and sterile, humming with a low-frequency drone as it cut through the stratosphere. Inside, Myles sat near the back of the dimly lit aircraft, eyes fixed on the black steel of the reinforced walls. His wrists rested on his lap—no longer bound by suppressors, yet still tingling with the phantom burn of restraint. He slowly flexed his right hand. Purple veins shimmered faintly beneath the skin, pulsing with raw energy. Freedom felt heavier than chains. Across from him sat the Alpha Response Team—Paragon's finest. Lieutenant Anna Storm exuded command presence even in her flight harness, her arms crossed and posture razor-straight. Beside her was Jack, the team's tech-and-field specialist, all smirks and restless energy. Melissa, the data-seer, calmly adjusted the lens interface on her temple, reviewing neural readouts. Alex, the demolitions expert, sat hunched with a coil of explosive line draped over one leg, while Leo, the ever-

Chapter: Ashes In The Ice.The Paragon Archives weren’t built for comfort.Beneath the surface of the organization’s demolished headquarters , the subterranean archive resembled a digital tomb—floor after floor of sealed data vaults, blinking terminals, and pressurized, cryo-stabilized containment units. Time didn't flow here; it slept.Lieutenant Savannah Storm adjusted her thermal jacket as she stepped out of the elevator into Archive Sector 7. With her were Jack Hadley, field ops analyst, and Data-Seer Melissa Morrow, Paragon’s foremost expert in neuro-coded intel. Even underground, Anna held a military bearing like iron forged in war, while her eyes darted like a predator tracking something just beyond sight.“This is the last known trace Kaelin ever interacted with before his descent into full demonic possession,” she said, her voice echoing off the steel walls. “He left something here. Something we missed.”“And you think it’s connected to Trumpet Two?” Jack asked, scanning the dimly lit corridor, one han

Chapter: The Verdict Of PowerPresident Maverick Maddox stood alone in the glass-walled war chamber at the heart of the Paragon headquarters, his arms crossed behind his back. The city below looked almost peaceful—rows of glowing towers gleaming like distant stars against the midnight sky. But He knew better.Peace was an illusion. And illusions cracked.Behind him, the briefing table blinked to life with blue holograms—dossiers, video feeds, and heartbeat analytics. All centered around one name:Myles.He exhaled slowly, the weight of her title pressing on her shoulders like a steel mantle. This wasn’t just a choice between justice and mercy.It was a choice between survival and annihilation.The doors hissed open behind her.“Sir,” said General Harlow, stepping into the room, boots crisp on the polished floor. “The council’s final proposal just came through. It’s unanimous.”He didn’t turn to look at him.“Let me guess,” He said quietly. “Termination.”Harlow paused. “They believe Myles is too unstable. Too dang

Chapter: The Ashes Within II The world was burning.Myles stood frozen in the living room of his childhood home, the air thick with heat and the acrid stench of smoke. Curtains flailed violently like possessed spirits, tongues of fire licking the peeling wallpaper, devouring every photograph, every trophy—every memory—one by one. The flames crackled hungrily, a choir of destruction singing in hell’s own harmony.Each breath scorched his lungs. His eyes watered from smoke, blurring the horror in front of him into a surreal, flickering fever dream.It was exactly as it had been ten years ago.The same nightmare. The same choking air. The same overwhelming helplessness, as though time itself had shackled him to this moment and refused to let go.He was thirteen again.Barefoot. Trembling. Skin sticky with sweat and ash. The floor beneath him creaked like it was alive, groaning beneath the weight of the fire’s fury. The distant thump of collapsing furniture echoed like distant thunder. Every heartbeat felt like a cou

Chapter: The Ashes Within Director Sandlers stood by the reinforced glass wall of the subterranean command wing, overlooking the remnants of the Paragon compound. What used to be a fortress of order was now a landscape of scorched concrete and sparking ruins. Fire retardants still hissed from collapsed conduits, and cleanup drones buzzed quietly like flies over a battlefield.Footsteps echoed in the corridor behind him—soft, measured, familiar. He didn’t need to turn."Anna," he said.She stepped in, boots clicking sharply before she stopped just shy of the glass. "Director."He said nothing, eyes locked on the ruins. For a long moment, the silence between them was almost reverent, as though the Paragon dead still lingered in the walls. Anna's arms were crossed, her expression unreadable."The president is... wavering," Sandlers finally said. "She wants to believe he deserves a second chance.""You want him to have one," Anna replied. Her tone was cool, precise. "That’s why we’re having this conversation."He

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.

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
