The Wild Sea Beneath the Banyan Tree

[Fantasy novel] [Slow-paced] [Slice of life + Passionate adventure]

[The gods of this world willingly tore away their “personalities” and donned their “divine natures.” They gained unparalleled power, but lost all reason, roaring in fury day and night...

Except for Athena and Hermes.

Hermes vanished without a trace, no one knowing where he went. Athena blew herself up, granting divine power to all humanity and creating countless half-gods, half-humans.

Together, the half-gods and half-humans founded an academy to fight the gods, who had gone mad and attacked them relentlessly. They created a barrier to keep out every god bearing a “divine nature,” and only occasionally needed to clear away the divine creatures that emerged along its edges.

Rong Qin was admitted to the academy at the lowest, most pathetic point in his life. The gods had gone mad... so what? How could that stop him from earning credits? He was sure that even if a god came knocking at his dorm, he could smile faintly and carry on drinking cheap liquor with his friend from the noodle stall and his goofy senior apprentice...

Of course, Rong Qin had no idea that in the future he would go mad, yet be the clearest-minded of all; that he would take up a long sword and fight before everyone’s eyes, yet have no one support him.

Was the war between gods and humans really started by the gods and humans themselves? Was some more secretive presence manipulating or allowing it all to happen...?]

Xiao and I shut the laptop we’d found in the condemned building. The novel on it was seriously creepy...

I can feel something invading reality, and it has something to do with me...

A new author with a new book. I’ll do my best, so I hope you’ll show your support! This is a slow-burn fantasy, and the main plot takes a while to get going, so please be patient!
