AUTHOR’S NOTE
Stories are living things.They grow in the dark, in the quiet corners of the mind, shaped by every heartbeat that aches for meaning. This book began with a single spark, a question of what happens when love, war, heritage, and destiny collide, and it grew into a world woven with magic, bloodlines, betrayal, and unbreakable devotion.From Snake, whose soul carried a thousand scars yet never ceased to protect the people he loved…To Evilside, who wandered through grief only to rebuild herself into a force that could change ages…To Dendra, whose rage, loyalty, humor, and stubborn heart turned him from a reckless god into one worthy of love and legacy…And to every liroid, goddess, child, and fallen house in between, this story became larger than any one character.It became an entire world surviving its own history.In these pages, gods fought and fell, families shattered and healed, lovers challenged fate, and a broken realm found a second chance, a chance called Second. Yet even vict
THE FIRST PEACE, AND THE RISE OF TON
THE WORLD AFTER TANSecond, the city built on the ashes of Tan’s old kingdom rose in gold and vine, carved with liroid runes and god-blood symbols. It was a city of rebirth, discipline, and fierce law. Snake, crowned as king, ruled with Aria beside him, once Tan’s daughter, now the Serpent Queen.Dendra and Evilside governed from Dren, reshaping the divine court with newer, leaner laws. No more endless cycles of vengeance.No more “old god privileges.”No more chains on power or purpose.For the first time in centuries, the world breathed.THE SIX CHILDREN OF SNAKESnake and Aria’s six children were, according to Dragon, “the greatest natural disaster since the fall of Mogro.”RiotThe eldest, proud and reckless. Had inherited Snake’s venomous tongue, Aria’s temper, and Doom’s terrifying stare.Rena and Reni (the twins)Tricksters. Could confuse entire battalions. No one knew who was who. Not even Snake.FoeA silent child who could paralyze a grown liroid with one look. Glass swore F
THE AGE OF SECOND, THE DAWN OF A NEW EMPIRE
The Founding Laws of the New EmpireWhen Snake was crowned, the valley fell silent as he stepped onto the obsidian dais.He raised his serpent-twined staff, crafted by Rebellion and blessed by Cirax, and spoke:“No empire stands on blood alone. We will build this one on balance.”Thus began the Laws of Second:Liroid PrinciplesHonor before fear.Family before power.Every child, liroid or mortal, was protected by sacred decree.Any god or liroid who raised arms unjustly would face the Circle of Roots.Mogro PrinciplesSnake kept the good mogro laws:Equal justice regardless of race or bloodline.Trial by truth stone.Mercy granted to the repentant.New LawsThen Snake added his own:No throne may be taken by force again, only chosen by the Council.Sons and daughters of Tan may never claim dominion over any realm.A king must have advisors from all three worlds: liroid, god, and mortal.The Goddess Evilside has full authority over the realms of death, rebirth, and balance.Dendra has
THE WEDDING BEFORE THE WEDDING
The Condition: “Snake must marry first.”Evilside crossed her arms, staring down Dendra, Cirax, and half the gods.“Unless my son is married…or at least betrothed…I’m not taking a single wedding step.”Dendra nearly fainted.“EYELA, PLEASE.”“No. Snake must marry. Otherwise, your harem will riot.”Cirax smirked.“Well, she’s right.”Snake rubbed his eyes.“I literally just came back from death….Can I breathe?”“No,” Evilside and Dendra said at the same time. Dendra bullying Snake into courting Aria.Dendra grabbed Snake by the collar.“Listen here…if I do not get my wedding, I will hang you and Aria from the same tree for delaying me.”Snake shoved him off.“WHAT DID I DO?!”“You exist,” Dendra growled.“And your mother refuses to wed me unless you’re off the market.”Snake groaned.“I hate this family.”Dragon patted him on the back.“Love, my friend. This is love.” Snake meets Aria and regrets everything.Aria was sharpening her blade when Snake approached.She didn’t look up.“Yo
THE FUNERAL RITES OF TAN’S HOUSEHOLD
The City of Second stood quiet again, not with fear this time, but with solemn respect.The gods gathered around the pyres erected at the far edge of the valley, where the flames burned blue and gold: the colors of endings.Tan’s wives, children, and favored kin, those who had stood with him in cruelty and refused peace, were laid upon separate platforms.Even the gods who had killed them now stood beside the bodies, silent, heads bowed.Day was the first to speak.“Death is not punishment,” she said.“It is a return. May their souls heal beyond the veil.”Harp stepped forward next, plucking one sorrowful note on his celestial lyre.The sound echoed across the valley, vibrating through every bone, stirring memories and regrets.Delia approached Tan and Felt’s joined bodies.She placed a single flower, the silver bloom of Dren, symbol of release, upon Felt’s chest.“Sister,” she whispered, “at last your suffering is over.”Then she looked at Tan.“You could have chosen love. But now yo
THE AFTERMATH AND THE NEW WORLD
The battlefield was quiet.Too quiet.Only the faint echo of Tan’s last scream drifted through the air, dissolving into ash alongside the tyrant god who had ruled through fear for centuries.Gods and Liroids alike stood frozen, staring at the crater where Tan once stood.Then a soft voice broke the silence.Felt Tan’s First Wife Walks ForwardFelt, mother of Iswa, Tan’s first wife, and the woman who suffered the worst of his cruelty, stepped toward the fallen body of her former husband.Her steps were slow, steady.Unburdened.She lowered herself beside the corpse and gently touched his cold cheek.Her voice was soft as a dying breeze:“Thank you… for finally giving him peace.”She leaned down and kissed his forehead.“Now I can rest too.”Without another word, she lifted Tan’s sword, the symbol of his pride, his cruelty, his legacy.In one graceful motion…She plunged the blade into her own chest.Gasps erupted everywhere.Felt fell forward, collapsing on Tan’s chest, her lifeless bo
