“Illithesium: The Awakening” by Adam Zomparelli

For fans of Hyperion, Game of Thrones that want to discover something new …

Our current reality on planet Earth is plagued by social problems, such as piracy, the sex trade and Death, which seems to constantly undo God’s creations. Are there any powers in the universe which can set humanity onto a more positive path, by cleansing corruption from civilization?

Fuelled by Illithesium—trillions upon trillions of micro-organisms fused into every one of his cells—the humanoid being called Oron has God-like powers. His role is to nurture the futures of civilizations on many planets, by ridding them of undesirable influences under God’s cosmic hierarchy. Yet on Earth, Oron meets a human who teaches him what he has never known: how to act based on emotions rather than pure logic and duty. His protégé, Aurelia, is a young woman whom Oron coaches to become powerful in myriad ways, and yet she has the power to change how he acts, based upon love. This informs Oron’s decision to challenge the legendary and archaic being Death itself to save humanity. Oron cannot hope to survive this encounter, but Aurelia fuses with his power, and together—leaving Earth to recover from the epic struggle as they continue with their missions. Aurelia does not yet know it, but she will be facing Faelot, spawn of Lucifer, in her future role as the cleanser of planets.
