Apollyon - Chapter 1 Preview
In APOLLYON, the world is divided between the radiant city of Caelira, a utopia suspended in the clouds, and Chasm City, a grim underbelly encircling a vast abyss, magic is both a blessing and a curse. Neru, the son of Caelira’s most powerful wizard, struggles under the weight of his father’s legacy. Despite his immense magical potential, he’s never been able to cast a single spell. Thus, he was banished to Chasm City, an urban pit carved into the center of the world where the magicless live amongst demons. Neru believes his life is doomed to mediocrity… that is until he crosses paths with a magical entity that was believed to be extinct, a fallen Angel, that unlocks Neru’s ability to cast spells. At last, Neru has a chance to reclaim his father’s legacy. But he is not the only one who covets the Angel’s power… Apollyon is created by Valkyrae, Brandon Chen, ThirdPHP, in collaboration with GlobalComix, Hihi Studios, and Inspired Productions.
