A Demon Within

SOME BATTLES NEVER END.

Born a Pureblood Demonio through his mother's secret experiments, Valentin "Val" Hart's story begins as a love story — until the truth beneath it can no longer stay hidden.

A Demon Within emblem

Story Overview

A dark sci-fi/fantasy trilogy — novel with anime/manga adaptation potential.

Valentin "Val" Hart is a teenager born a Pureblood Demonio — a human-Leviatan hybrid — through secret in-utero experimentation carried out by his own biological mother. The story opens deliberately disguised as a YA romance, told from love interest Marina Vasquez's point of view, concealing its true dark sci-fi nature for several chapters before the reveal.

Set on a post-apocalyptic 22nd-century Earth, power is split between the corrupt Luminous Covenant, the scientific Aegis Corporation, and the holy-warrior Inquisitors — whose Levi Core-powered suits slowly corrupt them into the very demons they're sworn to fight.

The World

A post-apocalyptic 22nd-century Earth, fractured across four key locations:

  • Prometheus Citadel — Aegis Corporation's laboratories
  • The Wastes — where the rebel Demonios hide
Concept art and location renders in development.

The Three Powers

Every faction believes it alone can save what's left of humanity.

  • Luminous Covenant — a corrupt religious order
  • Aegis Corporation — the scientific antagonist behind the Demonio experiments
  • The Inquisitors — holy warriors whose own armor slowly turns them into what they hunt
Nine named Inquisitors fully profiled, corruption designs in progress.
