Neru the Fallen Wizard
Neru is the son of the world’s greatest wizard, but after his father’s death, he was cast down to the slums of Chasm City for being born without magic. Now, he works as a server in a demon bar, but knows that this is not his destiny. Neru is determined to prove himself a capable wizard, so he may return to Caelira and live up to his father’s legacy.
Raya the Last Angel
Raya is the Last Angel, the most powerful magical race in history. After the death of her mentor, the great wizard, Senzo, the other High Wizards deemed her a threat and had her trafficked to Chasm City to the Demon Mafia, where they had her mana siphoned and distributed as weapons across the abyssal city.
Now escaped and weakened, Raya seeks help so that she may regain her power and exact revenge on those who used her power for wrong.
Sai the Half-Demon Prince
Sai is one of the princes of a demonic gang that rules over Chasm City. However, because of his heritage as a half-human, half-demon, he is considered weaker. Seeking any opportunity to appease his father and prove his worth, his chance comes in the form of Raya, an Angel whose power can change the destiny of all the demons that have been condemned to Chasm City.
Lord Senzo of Caelira
Lord Senzo, Neru’s father, Caelira’s greatest wizard, stood amongst the city’s most revered leaders. A guardian of balance, he sought peace between the skyborne wizards of Caelira and the forsaken demons of Chasm City.
However, his murder during the Great Angel War marked a turning point in history, shattering the order of the High Wizards and igniting a new struggle for power that resulted in the banishment of Neru and Raya to the abyss.

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.
