What would you sacrifice to save a loved one from a fate worse than death?

 

That is the question Ashyara faces on a daily basis in this broken, dying world.  Mortally wounded and running out of time, she was forced into a deal with the devil.  Now she continues her quest well beyond her natural lifespan.

 

 

Her existence sustained by the consumption of souls, Ashyara and her demonic partner Qaj find themselves in a bit of a predicament.  Their target is nearby, but a series of unfortunate events have left them completely drained with no time to recover.  And if that wasn't bad enough, another threat approaches the nearby town of Strin.

 

 

Will Ashyara give in to demonic influence and sacrifice a few to save many?  Will she decide it's not her problem and let the town fend for itself?  Or will she offer herself up in an attempt to save everyone?  Why do we even need to ask?

 

 

In the #CurrentYear comic book industry, which is filled with villains being sold as heroes, that sadly becomes a question we actually need to consider.  From this desolate, hopeless landscape, witness a new hero rise to become the ray of hope the world needs!

 

 

50 Page Main Story, with 3 side stories!

 

  • Haunted - Ashyara is stalked by a stealthy foe that refuses to engage her head on and slowly whittles away her strength.

  • Deadly Detour - A squad of Ignom Hunters face off against a fallen brother.

  • + a preview of what's going on elsewhere in the world...

The Characters:

Ashyara

The hero of our story. A former knight whose centuries long journey has refined her swordsmanship skills to perfection (on a good day), earning her the nickname "Blade Devil." Or maybe that was because of her Exoskeleton armor...

 

Qaj

Ashyara's demonic partner. While extremely weak on his own, he is capable of greatly boosting the strength of his contractor. As long as said contractor keeps him well fed anyway. And we know what demons like to eat!

 

Iuna:

The Witch of the Wastes. She is credited with destroying most of the world centuries ago, and is recognized as one of the most powerful beings in existence. And she is Ashyara's quarry. Her broken mind is all that stands between the world and total annihilation.

 

Hunters:

Special Forces who spend their lives fighting humanity's greatest threats in the wilderness. It's only because of their sacrifice that average people can sleep peacefully within safe, walled cities. Though some tend to forget this fact.

 

Barrel Shota:

Just an average boy who's simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, there's nothing special about him at all... Or is there?

 

Risks & Challenges

We already have at least half of the book finished (I say at least because it keeps growing...) and it's coming out regardless of how much money we raise.  How well this campaign does determines if there's enough interest to continue the series.

The only way this isn't happening is if either me or my artist die, end up in a coma, or some other freak accident occurs.

 

Stretch Goals

$65,000 REACHED: Each physical book will come with a pinup poster of its cover, AND this one of Moth-chan (Just a sample, with a simple background, logo, etc. to be added)

 

$90,000 REACHED: A monster(girl) bestiary will be added to the book, explaining what all these critters in the Blade Devil universe are and making them even more pleasing to look at!

$100,000 REACHED: Foil covers on all books!  We'll try a few things to see if it looks better to put foil on the entire cover or just key parts of it, but we'll make sure these books dominate your shelves.

$125,000 REACHED: All signed copies of the book will be signed by me AND the artist (provided there are no travel bans getting in the way by then).

$150,000 REACHED: Fanart Gallery added to the book!

$175,000 REACHED: "Xenodevil" jam cover art print with each book.  Be sure to check out Xenotype (also on Indiegogo) as well if you'd like this as a cover!

$200,000 REACHED: Art team gets a bonus!
