Oh man this is so good. When the guard showed up I could feel the shock and surprise and my mouth widened for a second! I know this is a grimdark story but I couldn't help but cheer on the guard in my head! But alas, you stay so true to the lore and there's little chance they'd ever win against a greater deamon, I can also see the changes now in solomon as his character develops, although I think I know where it's going, and it isn't towards the emperors light. Can't wait for the next part.
That was the response I was hoping for! I'm glad it translated that way. Halfway through writing the third part now so you'll just have to wait and see where this tale goes 👍
@xavis_dad considering it ends with him continuing to march with cultists after reminiscing about how pleasurable it felt to murder an imperial guardsman after taking the bait of a demon near the start of the first chapter, I don't think he's resistant to anything here.
The Absolute constant state terror Solomon feels witnessing all of this, and his inherent cowardice compounding him to survive while also I belive driving him mad and slowly corrupting him. Not to mention the first person he killed was a guardsman. Yeah he's on his way to the warp. Thank you soo much for such great work , really transports you into 40k horror.
@@geeljire9247 well yes he did kill a corrupted guardsmen in the first ep, but he really didn't kill him he stumbled and triped on his own guts and fell on the blade solomon was holding. So more or less aided suicide
From the very start of this tale Solomon has been corrupted. He worshiped slanesh the moment he first craved for excess, an excess of life. He lasted after one more day, and he did not care what he gave up for it. The mask he wears fits him perfectly.
Honestly mate that battle is better written and narrated that likely any BL audiobook I’ve ever heard, you’re a genuine gift to this community, Thankyou.
Damn, you actually made the Guard sound terrifying! That was fresh - I loved the distinction you made between militia and Guard. Loved the series, you deserve support. Part II really hit hard compared to the others imo
"Desperation spread like a quick-acting nerve gas" I love this channel cuz the descriptions are so creative! It gives the scene more life and thus makes it more enjoyable to listen to. The narrator also has the perfect voice for Warhammer audiobooks, sounding like some veteran guardsmen, telling grimdark stories.
I listened to this 3 times in a row everything is so detailed i didnt want to miss anything, its like im right there with Solomon..... im worried he might be liking the twisted ecstacy Slannesh provides too much to come back, his sanity may be to far gone especially since his first body was a guardsman. Then again *All The Gods Are Dead* ... im hyped for part lll for sure.
I loved how visceral you described the action scenes with the Guard suddenly appearing and poor Solomon slowly succumbing to Chaos... looking forward to part 3!
You really do a great job of describing action scenes. Played out like a movie in my head, very well done, can't wait for part 3! Interesting to see the characters progression from the start of the first episode to the end of this one, can see (what I at least assume to be) the corrupting powers of Chaos taking its effect on him.
I was going to ask who wrote this, but then I read the description. Well done! This is fantastic! I am very much an Imperial fanboy but I am quite happy they didn't win the engagement in the forest and deprive me of this wonderous writing. How very hedonisticly slaneshi of me...
Just noticed this one is an original. It's absolutely amazing. I'm a listener to many different creepasta narration channels and other horror channels for years and years. I also do narration myself from time to time. I'm a massive lifelong horror fan and recently becoming obsessed with 40k. And i do have to say this series is one of the most engaging and well written stories I've listened to in a long time. Great work. Just finished part 2 and am about to lay down and start part 3. Really, fantastic job, my friend. Obviously keep up your amazing narrations, but also, DONT STOP WRITTING!
This is a beautiful work of art! When you get to a 100k followers, you should definitely submit something to the Black Library. Loved every second of it!
I’ll be a bit less broad with my compliments this time: the choice of focus on the gore and barbarism is perfect enough to push your mind to grotesque thoughts but not outright disgusting in its imagery, not to mention every action of Solomon feels so real, you can understand his thoughts his actions, how his body is running on instinct while his mind hides away behind the iron mask. It’s so perfect in its choice of description, the right stuff so you know where you are and what the place is but not to much to spoil the image it creates in your mind. This whole series is just so there, I can’t say I’ve found a single issue with it it just feels so enveloping.
Me, when the Painter disrobes: Oh, wow, you're really going there, uh? *Dude paints a painting* Me, embarrased: Eh...that's what I call playing with expectations
You really are fantastic at this. The pace of this was so well done, honestly it's probably the best short story/series I've every listen too mate. Bloody top job.
I was really hoping they would save him. but alas... thus is the world of the grim dark. I admit, I don't know much about the 40k universe. but this is a great audio peice even for those that dont know much about the universe.
The tale takes us further down the rabbit hole of this man's break with who he is now and who he was and who he shall be... Am loving every narration !!! I am off to listen to act 3 now.
Damn!! I finally find a time to continue on your work when i chill with painting... This was great! The battle part give me a real goosebumps! You are growing so quick brother! Great work
Bravo! Got pulled in so deep, that I actually felt some disappointment when it was over :D Very much looking forward to the next part! Do you have a patreon or paypal account where one could show some appreciation?
Many thanks hunter. The third part is about halfway through the writing process at the moment. If you look on my channels art at the top of the page you'll find a PayPal link. I really appreciate the support and generosity Vox
I cannot get over the battle near the end, the efficiency of the guard, quickly disintegrating into fear versus the ecstatic brutality of the cultists and Demons. This is how I always imagined Slanneshi Demons fighting, not with bloodthirsty rage like Khornate Demons but with elegance and grace. A truly amazing battle description Vox
Wow.. thankyou so much for sending me this message. Means a lot to know people enjoy my writing and share my opinions on how certain units and daemons should fight
@@AVoxintheVoid I've always had my own view on how Chaos Demons fight. Khornate Demons would be blood crazed bezerkers, Nurgle Demons would be slow and deliberate like Death itself, Tzeentch Demons would be cunning sorcerers and Slanneshi Demons would be just like this, fast, majestic and brutal, as if they were dancing more than fighting. I won't lie when I say that this story has helped inspire me to get back into writing and the fight has given me inspiration in regards to how to write a battle description
I keep coming back to this series and every time I feel pride and horror with the battle at the end. Still one of the best 40k battle descriptions I've ever heard
**Tries to imagine a 40k Universe with all the gods being dead, begins hyperventilating.** W-what is this? Did I just witness a half-Aeldari female Astartes that was also a Votanni Genestealer all along request that Guilliman "beam 'us' up!(singular/plural hivemind self-description)"!?!? ...I finally understand why Horus did what he did, and the need for Chaos...
I see a fantastic tale unfolding…. Farm owner loses everything but his life to the horrors of the warp….. to then make it through nightmares of untold horror that would have a greater Demon of The blood god blush To rise up and single handed turn the tide of battle and attain victory for the AllFather… 😀 or that might just be a story in my own mind lolol Such a pleasure is listening to each new chapter so excited for more. Only complaint is having to wait for more after each content drop I’d love a 2 hour chapter drop 🙏🏻
Vox you have truly captured the true horror of the 40k universe, the savage bloodletting of an uncaring universe. Your voice has given me inspiration for an encounter in my wrath and glory campaign.
@@AVoxintheVoid I will keep you posted, the sessions are few and far between. I was thinking if maybe having another imperial citizen in a similar situation to Solomon, and how the party will react to him.
Maybe he saw something in him...the white feathers are a little hint as they symbolise something. There's definitely more descension on the cards, we'll have to wait and see if I'm feeling generous enough to give Solomon any form of retribution...
Great work!!! I realy feel sorry for the guy. Even if he would throw down his weapon and surrender, he would only be burned as a heretic. As the inquisitorial saying goes: "Innocence proves nothing!" Although you hardly cant call him innocent any more after killing a guardsman. Even if done in self defence.
I'm glad my writing has elicited such a response. I wanted people to initially hate the character but begin to question how they would react in the same situation. I think a lot of people would be surprised...thankyou again!
@@AVoxintheVoid You did a great job with that. I probably would not have mustered the strengh to go through that ordeal for seven days, like Solomon did. In a way his cowardice turned out to be a virtue as it kept him going till he got a chance to redeem himself. May he rest at the Emperors side.
@@AVoxintheVoid I enjoyed it a lot, this depraved cruelty and corruption is the true essence of Slaneesh, and you wrote and narrated it perfectly. Thanks for the quality content again!
Dude i keep listening to the 3 vids because I'm a fresh face in warhammer and I was hoping to find a narrative look at a demonic incursion. Also as a novice writer I'm super impressed with this short story.
Oh man this is so good. When the guard showed up I could feel the shock and surprise and my mouth widened for a second!

when the tiger striped sentinel blew up I lost all hope
BS. The guard kill those filthy things all the time.
There’s something very satisfying/cathartic about listening to the music of heretics getting purged by the Guard.
"This was no militia outfit... This... Was the Guard!" *Cheers and frenetically stumps the ground with lasgun's cross*
Y'know, on one hand, the Maidens of Excess are quite alluring. On the other hand, is a crab claw.
I am now wondering how many like Solomon are "loyal" servants of the Emperor in the battalion
Quite literally hiding in there armor. Those eye sockets in their helmets, windows to the Madness.
It's probably dudes like this who end up becoming high ranking Inquisitors. Dude is pretty resilient to the taint of the Warp. Slanesh anyway.

@@AVoxintheVoid my pleasure man, we all appreciate your interaction with fans too. Have a good one.
Indeed
Holy shit. Just 5/5.
This captures Slaneesh ultra good. Best damn writing and narration job in years.
I am totally humbled by this message. Thankyou so much my friend. Hope you enjoy part three!
Damn, you actually made the Guard sound terrifying! That was fresh - I loved the distinction you made between militia and Guard. Loved the series, you deserve support. Part II really hit hard compared to the others imo
My lord, how are you this on point with Chaos/Slannesh? This is some of the best Slannesh representation I’ve ever read! Great work!
It's a worry right? 😜
Let us not ask questions. ;)
@@MandoMTL best not to...
Almost as if... he's corrupted by chaos
We need more of this level when having audiobooks on chaos
I am dedicated to bringing some chaos fun into people's lives!
I was sent here by a commenter from Balder's latest Slaanesh video. I had to subscribe. Great work brother.
Thankyou so much! Glad you found your way here brother!
Amazing work. I don’t understand why you are not bigger. This beats out Audible any day.
Really appreciate this message James. I'm just happy to have listeners like yourself
Agreed. This is so dark and hopeless 😭
These 2 parts have been some of the greatest depictions of Slaaneshi daemons. Great work Vox! I think I'll have to re-listen to this come Halloween
Means a lot to me friend. I'm glad you're digging my take on chaos
This was horrific. In a good way! I have never seen Slaanesh and it’s followers in a more terrifying light. Well done.

this is really good ....the maturity gives a clear description of the grim drack of the 40k future
I loved how visceral you described the action scenes with the Guard suddenly appearing and poor Solomon slowly succumbing to Chaos... looking forward to part 3!
The escalation of your voice with the action is so enthralling.
How do you not have more subscribers, the quality of your content is amazing

This is a beautiful work of art! When you get to a 100k followers, you should definitely submit something to the Black Library. Loved every second of it!
Thanks David! That should be my challenge for sure.
Agreed. Personally, I think black library doesn't do enough horror stories.
Stellar work! Really impressive how concistent the extraordinary quality of your work is.
Thankyou so much Dino! Can't wait to show you part three!
Too bad the guards lost the attack. This battle was extremely well written, the way you manage to color the scene is really impressive. On to part 3 !

Finally, the wait was killing me.
Bro your action scene was unbelievable. Gripped me so intensely and the background sound adds so much depth.
at this point hes just a play thing for slanesh whos probably savouring his slow desent into madness
bingo
My feelings throughout: Oh no, OH YES, OH NOOO.
Yes. Now This Is 40K. Great Narration of a Great Narrative.
Many thanks boss! Glad you enjoyed my tale. Third part coming by next weekend
Me, when the Painter disrobes: Oh, wow, you're really going there, uh?
*Dude paints a painting*
Me, embarrased: Eh...that's what I call playing with expectations

im gonna call this writing style Pickman's Novel...cause holy fuck this is some horrifically vivid prose. yet it is captivating in its repulsion.
I'm going to take that as a huge compliment Sam
@@AVoxintheVoid oh a gigantic compliment. Like emperor class Titan sized compliment
Loved the mental images you gave me with the artist section, and of course incredibly well written and told as a whole as always!
Thankyou my friend. I had a lot of fun writing that scene.

Absolutely excellent story so far! I loved every moment of it.

You are truly too kind Kenny. I'm super glad you enjoy my writing. This has definitely given me the taste for it going forward. 🤘
Man I love it. You never fail to crush it every time. By the end of the story every time I'm on the edge of my chair.
It's ironic Slaanesh receives so little love, glad this exist to remedy that.
What a masterpiece of descriptive story telling
Thankyou so much, I can't wait to get part three to you!
These are too dam good can't wait for the next part

Brilliant, cheers for doing this.

It's a grand party until a flare goes up.
For all the gods being dead, there is a lot of talk about chaos gods 🤣
10/10 story I'm excited to continue 🤗
The painter selecting him must be an omen... I truly do want to see him descend, and then ascend: reborn.
Maybe he saw something in him...the white feathers are a little hint as they symbolise something.
There's definitely more descension on the cards, we'll have to wait and see if I'm feeling generous enough to give Solomon any form of retribution...
