Redemption Arc, Book 2: A GameLit Progression Fantasy

With a new 'ally,' Aurelia, at his side, Lucian Villamar hasn't yet gained the chance to rest in his struggle for survival. The threat of assassination by demons remains a very real possibility, and he has to sleep with both eyes open. A trial looms large overhead, its outcome deciding which direction the future will take. His advantage of knowledge is slipping out of his grip as his actions cause the timeline he knew to butterfly further out of control. But hard times have made a hard man, and Lucian finds himself increasingly capable of enacting change. In fact, he sets his eye toward the prize that the main antagonist, the First Emperor, covets. If he plays his cards right, he might be able to steal a grand opportunity right under the noses of the demons. His 'ally,' meanwhile... can he trust anything Aurelia does? Is her cooperation genuine, or is she merely waiting for the right moment to strike?

Or could their association end in ways neither predicted?
