Watch him grow, and change from a lovable pervert to someone that everyone respects.Horrifying and unique creatures which can never be seen unless your literally messed up.You're wrong if you thought it's one of those typical harem adventure stories as it has lots of twists.Saladin would gain a ring which would be the main core of the story.By the way, if you think the romance is cliche and predictable, then guess again.The main plot would appear later in the chapters but if you stayed all the way, than you're going to have the time of you're life.Warning it contains tragic, mature and gore scenes

Sub
Rob is an unremarkable young man. Lonely, unmotivated and may very well be stuck in a dead-end job. Nothing to look forward to but see his days repeat like any other, and he does not appear to take interest in anything besides frequenting a cafe, drinking and smoking. There is a lack of rhythm and melody in this gent's life. That is, until his coworker, Lisa begins to accompany him for coffee. And perhaps the questionable dreams he begins to have. And Elizabeth was in it. A sad child, really. Do not expect much.

Riddick/ Against the Heavens
SUMMARY: In a world where magic and magical beasts are omnipresent, the nature's law of strong ruling over the weak is followed everywhere. Controlled by Immortals who transcended the limits of mortality this world has mages and warriors as it's elites, all with the same goal of becoming an immortal. In the vast universe this world is an unremarkable one with no treasures but countless dangers where mortals are seen as nothing but cannon fodder for the strong. Riddick was born in this world as a son of a mere mortal. Join him in his journey as he paves a path to the epitome of immortality. He starts his journey with a small dream but will soon realise his destiny as the fate shows its cruelty.IMP NOTE : My work has no relation to Vin Diesel's Riddick movie. This is not a Riddick fan fiction but some thing which will come under Xianxia genre. Edit #1 - Please understand that this is my first work and I have improved a lot till the current chapter. I have yet to rewrite the beginning chapters and I am aware that they aren't really good. Still I hope you can read past the book 1 so you can enjoy the book just like many others who wait for it.Edit 2 # - This is an initial draft and sooner or later, I will definitely rewrite it all into an authentic book.Thank you, Gsd reddy.
