Scorched Deity: The ALL POWER is mine
Before Reginald Fletcher, the world was shaped by two wielders of All Power, but none were as formidable as the first. The Eternal Phoenix, matriarch of the Guerrera family, used her boundless might to forge a perfect paradise, a world of harmony and order. But in her hubris, she saw the inherent flaw of sin as an unforgivable blight upon her creation.
With a heart of fire and an unyielding will, she declared war upon the very foundations of existence of sin. She gathered a legion of the world's most divine and powerful beings and launched an unprecedented campaign to invade Hell itself. Layer by layer, she tore through the infernal realms, her righteous crusade a blazing beacon against the eternal realm. The denizens of the abyss, from the lowliest imps to the greatest demonic princes, fell before her wrath. She conquered every level, her victory seeming absolute, until she reached the 7th layer where she met her end, leaving her legacy—and her power—to the next wielder.
The world was left in disarray, the very power that held it in peace was lost, and anguish and pain reigned as the portal to hell was left open, spewing forth unending torment upon the mortal realm. For 300 years, chaos persisted, until a new wielder of All Power was born: Emperor Sora Archeron. The Conqueror. He sought to finish what his predecessor failed to do. He ushered in the Steam Age, and armed with first-generation firepower, he invaded hell once again. He recruited most of the world's men and launched his own divine campaign.
He and his army met with the same grim fate. The endless hordes of hell swallowed his army whole, leaving him the sole survivor to return to a world he could not save.
A century later, a new wielder of All Power is transmigrated into a matriarchal, female-dominated world, a world of the Scorched. The scorched is a term used to refer to those who cultivate the energy of hell, Miasma. His name is Reginald Fletcher, and he is haunted by a fractured past he can't remember. All he knows is that his daughter, Marigold, has been kidnapped, an act that leads to a vicious attack by a former rival, Yierch Mann. Poisoned with Miasma, the same substance that powers The Scorched, Reginald's near-death state awakens a dormant legacy: the Guerrera family's Book of Blood.
The book's power floods his body, making him the third wielder of All Power and the new master of the very hellish energies that once threatened to consume his predecessors. Now, to survive and reclaim his daughter, Reginald must navigate a world of lurking shadows and forgotten evils, all while wrestling with the same power that once saved a world and then nearly damned it.
