Nearly two hundred and fifty years have passed since the world ended, and humanity, though changed forever by the otherworldly forces that once destroyed the land, lives on. Soldiers of the God-Emperor Aivor have come to the village of Etyslund, seeking out what they believe to be a dangerous cult that could bring a second apocalypse to the world. In this village lives a family, members of the very organization these soldiers came to fight against. The old city, where help might be found, is weeks away, and the Empire's outposts too scattered to gather reinforcements.
"I fear that the peace of a new world cannot last forever, for we are not so different from the old humanity as we would like to believe." So warned the scholars of the past.
In a new world, where old gods walk again, humanity has changed, but some part of the old world lives on.

I like the beginning
Reviewed at: Part 1, Marga: The outskirts
This author knows how to sell a story, and that skill has clearly been refined when writing the first few chapters. While I might have some criticism against the ways that sound-effects are made, that comes closer to personal bias rather than anything else.
Prose is weird at points but not enough to hate it. Good enough to read casually at least. 4.5/5 from me
A promising start

There's only two chapters at the time of this review, so I can't say for sure where the characters or the plot is going. The world building is very cool, and I am intrigued. There are some parts where the prose switches from 'formal old English' to 'modern English' such as the sentence "Anyway, since those two weren’t born soldiers like himself". There are some punctuation in the dialogue such as "Plato gave a shallow nod and intoned:" should be a comma not a colon. Overall it's quite a nice read.
