A neon pink inferno burns across a dark, liquid surface, with sparks and embers flying into a pitch-black sky. In bold glowing serif text at the center it reads:
โAGENTโS AVOIDANCE GUIDE: THE DYING RELIGION.โ
Beneath that, in all-caps white text:
โBrought to you by the unholy trinity of God complexes, Emotional Trauma, and Daddy issues.โ
A dark forest is lit by surreal glowing pink embers scattered across the ground, giving the entire scene an eerie, post-apocalyptic vibe. Overlaid in all-caps white text:
โIn a world where therapy is expensive but divine wrath is government funded, two underqualified gays and a himbo must weaponise blasphemy, a chronic lack of survival instincts and generational trauma to save the Gods. Again.โ
May I introduce to you, the anti agentโs guide for The Dying Religion.

A aesthetic in tones of lava red, black, and ash. Images include molten lava flowing across land, a volcano erupting into smoke, a waterfall of fire pouring off a cliff, hands crackling with magical lightning, and a deep red rose with scorched petals.
Overlaid text reads:
โMagic was not a wound to cauterise but a limb to amputate.โbehind which very faint is a silhouette before a burning building.
โAnd so the continent turned on what remained of the Gods.โ behind which very faint is a a winged figure falling through the clouds.
โAnd began to cut.โ behind which very faint is a trail of blood trekking through snow towards a river.
No one expected orphans to survive the war to end magic, let alone win it. But triumph saw a God bleed out on the altar of their peace.
Now, as mortals race to slaughter the five who remain, the children raised for holy war must decide if the divine deserve saving.

The background is a man in the water pointing a middle finger toward the camera. It is overlaid with a darkish purple
โReasons why THE DYING RELIGION f*cking sucksโ
Magic isnโt power. Itโs a parasite.
The gods are *ssholes.
I rip religion a new one.
The MC and Villain are in love and very angsty, but no kiss.
So much cast diversity in terms of LGBTQIA, disabled and people of colour the Mango Mussolini would pop a vein.
The prose is so purple Thanos asks for skincare tips.
Iโm the one writing it and I am, at best, mentally unstable.โ
Blasphemous, batshit crazy high fantasy brought to you by a chronically sleep deprived pansexual who really ought to be under some kind of supervision.
Consider yourselves warned.

n aesthetic divided into 8 diagonal parts, at the centre on a black box is the quote โdo you know what it costs to be loved by a god?โ
The images are as follows, described from top left and following around in a clockwise manner,
- a man crouched to the ground, covering his ears.
- a dragon setting ablaze a town
- a man struck through the chest by lightning
- a ship afloat on the waters, on fire
- an army split down the middle to create a path
- an eye with fire burning in place of the iris
- a volcanic erupting
- old, rusted clocks

An aesthetic in a 3x3 format, photos in column 1, row 1 & 2, and column 3, row 2 & 3 are divided by a torn scrap of paper with a little quote on both. These are described going from top left to top right and so on for each row.
A silhouette stood before a wall of ocean, a whale in the waters.
A silhouette on horseback, riding through flames.
A hand half buried by dirt, twined with vines and branches.
Meteors crashing into a hillside and town.
A skull partially buried in dirt.
A silhouette stood hunched over, watching a distant fire.
A hooded figure and an unclothed man, his soul being sucked out dementor [eeew] style.
The close up shot of an eye, fire replacing the iris.
Hands held partially apart, electricity flickering between them.
For column 1, row 1 & 2 the intercepting quote is "do you know what it costs to be loved by a God?"
For column 3, row 2 & 3 the intercepting quote is "Grief makes monsters of mothers."
The Dying Religion - Kaos x Witcher x Witcher
No one expected orphans to survive the war meant to end magic, least of all win it.
Victoryโs cost? The death of their God.
โYour first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.โ

The title cover to an agents guide for the project.
The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.
The words
โAn Agentโs guide toโ - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.
โThe Dying Religionโ - in an echo effect in black and white font surrounded by an orange glow.
โAdult epic fantasyโ - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.
The pitch page for the project. The pitch itself is in a large black box with dashed orange borders, the word pitch intersects with the box and is in a black and white echoing font.
The pitch is:
No one expected orphans to survive the war
meant to end magic, least of all win it.
But victoryโs price? The death of their God.
Now war returns to a still healing continent,
the enemy intent on slaughtering
the five remaining Gods.
and the children raised as Holy-War cannon
fodder must decide if theyโre worth saving.
The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.
The comps & tropes page for the project.
The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page. Every box is black with an orange, dashed border, and the boxes for tropes and comps have the appropriate title, partially intersecting the relevant title. The quotes do not.
Comps:
Kaos, Witcher and Godkiller
The quote โmartyr, coward, traitor or fool. Your choice, really, youโll serve our needs one way or the other.โ
The quote โthere is only one religion in war, and believe me when itโll you itโs a godless faith.โ
Tropes:
Gods pay their dues
Hero x villain
Found family
Heist into hell
Friends to lovers to enemies
Morally grey mc & villain
Magic comes with a price
A villain and hero page for the project.
The hero and villain both have information about the individual characters in two separate black boxes, both with orange dashed borders. The word โheroโ and โvillainโ intersects the relevant boxes (right and left respectively)
The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.
Villain
The gods killed all he loved
Out for revenge on the gods
Brainwashed veteran
Waterbender
Raised as cannon fodder
Reborn as propaganda
In love with the hero
Hero:
Raised to be the weapon of the gods
Out to destroy the institution that forged him
Guilt ridden veteran
Electricity bender
Raised as cannon fodder
Remade as a national threat (not what graphic says but need to resave that one)
In love with the villain
In the centre is the quote โyour first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.โ
With arrows pointing from hero (the receiver) to the villain (the speaker.)
โMagic untended festers. Magic forgotten rots.โ
