All but one are destined to perish as the sole survivor is transported twenty years back to save the kingdom from total subjugation. Instead of control, he wakes in a decayed, impoverished home and discovers paralysis, forcing panic and urgency while uncovering the demons’ escalating brutality and their predatory intent toward humanity.","Serge Winterkey  \nTHE ANTIDEMON  \nBook I  \nA Portal Progression Fantasy Series Published by Lexera Books  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © Serge Winterkey 2026  \nThis book is a work of fiction.

Not until it was evident that there were no other options—the demonic forces were inevitably going to triumph in this war. Moreover, there were fears that, should they wait any longer, there wouldn’t be enough mages left, as so many had fallen in the endless battles, one after another. They needed at least sixty-one mages for the ritual. All but one of them was slated to die in the act of launching the spell. The sole survivor would be transported back in time twenty years with a mandate: He was to save the kingdom from the demons.  \nThe tension was high and rising in the group of sixty-one. All of them, young, old, and middle-aged, wanted to live. Nobody wanted to die. Anyone with a lesser will to live had long ago perished in the ceaseless battles against the demons and their puppets. Each of the mages was hoping against hope that he would be the “chosen one,” but there was no way of knowing who would be tapped by fate to travel back in time. Such were the requirements of the ritual.  \nFinally the time had come. A remarkably intricate spell had been prepared, and once it was launched, the mages started infusing it with mana.  \nFive minutes after the ritual  \nThe Demon Lord, truly the first from the nest of lords. Encampment of the demonic army five hundred kilometers from the capital.  \nClearly agitated, a mage appeared at the threshold of the chamber in which the Demon Lord was working on his plans. He didn't bother looking up, as he could sense his subject’s emanations and thus he knew who it was already. In like fashion, he could sense any other entity that entered his chamber.  \nThe mage bowed and delivered his report.  \n“Master, word has come in that the humans are about to deploy an unusually powerful spell. Never have we seen them attempting something like this! We never even imagined they were capable of it!”  \n“Ah, well, the race of man has managed to surprise us. Tell me, then, did you carry out all of the instructions for such a turn of events?”  \n“Yes, Lord and Master! We introduced a note of dissonance! Whatever it is that they’re hoping to achieve with this ritual is doomed to failure! It isn't going to turn out quite like they expect.”  \nTen minutes later. The lone surviving mage.  \nI felt strange, as if I’d undergone a brutal beating and then been left to die. I opened my eyes, wondering what this body was that I was now inhabiting. As I understood it, the survivor of the ritual would end up in the body of a powerful mage. How else could a lone man hope to stop the demonic invasion seeking the complete subjugation of humanity, much less in the span of a mere twenty years?  \nAt first I
