Aston Fisk serves the Mercian crown as part of a sect of assassins, known only as the Inquisitors. Abducted from birth and trained extensively in the arts of subterfuge and interrogation, he is selected to "eliminate" the leader of a well known Heretical group - the Orphites- before they can open a gate to then Black Realm and unleash the swarms of the undead upon Human kind. As he nears his target, he is flung through the portal into a world starkly contrasting to his own, along with a majority of the Orphites, who quickly decide that this new world they've stumbled upon should be destroyed as well.
this shows promise, though i'm reluctant with judging a story on the first chapter
3355033 'Merican? I'm confused..
3355037 people trying to type "merica" on their phones will often have it autocorrected to Mercia
3355111 well to be honest i pronounce it as "mershan" when i read it and i keep thinking of Marvin the Martian

3355111 Oh, I understand the confusion. No, it is Mercian; I got the name from an Anglo-Saxon country in the 400s.
I think this is going to need some context for spike's sake
Fuckin' cults
Thought I'd comment, since I so rarely do, and tell you to keep up the good work! I'm really enjoying this story.
"I've been chosen to pay with my life"
this is a lyric in the Avenged Sevenfold song heretic
3834788 Yes, quite. In fact, that song alone is practically the inspiration for this fanfiction.
Entirely new domain and rules be damned...there is no stopping an Inquisitor from their duties once their mind is set.
