You've always been angry.
Rage comes naturally to you. With how much life has messed with you it's only fair that you use your anger. That's why you became a boxer. The thrill of breaking an opponent. And hoping they might break you in turn. They never do though. Every fight is a disappointment, almost as much of a disappointment as they pay for each fight.
Enter Jackie Roth, club owner, mob boss, and former god. When she offers you a job you can't say no. Not that you would, not when she and everyone in her gang feel so familiar to you. At least with this job you'll be able to use that rage inside you more.
As you learn the ways of the criminal underground you reconnect with people you never met. Reforge bonds that you've never made. And recall memories you've never had. You were a god once upon a time, can you become one again?
God Syndicate is an interactive novel where you play the newest incarnation of Ares, The God of War. It's 18+ for violence, explicit sexual themes, drug use, morally questionable behavior, and more.
Customize your MC, play male, female, or nonbinary. With transgender options and pronoun selection. Customize your appearance and develop your personality.
Romance or befriend a cast of characters, including gods with more issues than you can count or even a mortal! Asexual and Aromantic options available.
Show the gods why you were feared all those years ago or prove that you're better than your past lives.
Uncover the mystery of disappearing gods as well as the mystery of your past.
Help out Elysium, the club where you'll practically live from now on. It seems to attract gods and that isn't always good.
Take out your anger on people who might even deserve it.
Zeus: Jackie Roth - She/Her. [Not an RO]
Jackie is The King of The Gods and she makes sure everyone knows it. Her word is law in Elysium and beyond. Fail her and you'll have a storm waiting for you. In the years since your disappearance Jackie's love for her family has seem to only grow. But she has a criminal empire to run and you're just the weapon she needs.
Hermes: Riley Liao Zhi - Gender Selectable. [RO]
The Messenger of The Gods. Or in Riley's case, the ever bored personal assistant to Jackie. Riley's an adrenaline junkie with a heart of gold. As the one who found you they feel almost responsible for you. But why do they also seem so afraid of you?
Nemesis: Verne Mercer - They/Them. [RO]
Protective? Vindictive? As the God of Retribution Verne can be described as both perfectly. As the bouncer of Elysium and Jackieâs right hand Verne refuses to allow a threat near them or their friends. And what are you if not a threat?
Apollo: Franco Valerio - He/Him. [RO]
As expected of The God of Music, Franco's your classic rich and famous rock star. Well he would be, if only he could get out of Elysium. His love of singing and love of his family are two chains he can't break that tie him here. Will your arrival help break those chains or tighten them?
Quiet and Serious, Dame is no longer The God of Love they once were. The passion of their life faded and now bitterness grows where love should. The only friend they have in Elysium seems to be their fiance, Johnny. To make their life even worse, you arrive.
The Mortal: Sigourney Hawthorn - She/Her. [RO]
Newly divorced from a god, Sigrouney struggles with juggling her (demigod) child, relentless job, and love life. As her daughter, Claudia, grows she wonders if she can keep up or if she'll be left behind. And now with your arrival Claudia's godly family gets bigger and her presence gets smaller.
Artemis: Rebel Reyes - Gender Selectable [RO]
How can The God of the Hunt thrive in the city? The prey here are either too weak or too annoying to hunt. The only thing Rebel craves is to feel that thrill again. With your arrival they have a perfect chance, who better to hunt than the God of War? They can't wait to meet you.
The Old Flame: Harper Ward - Gender Selectable [RO]
A friend from a better time. Harper and you were once inseparable. They saw you at your darkest and kept you calm. Years after an explosive break up they've reemerged into your life far different than you knew them. Can you find the dying embers of your old friend? Is it even worth the pain?

hey morgan! i was wondering, and this is definitely 100% headcanon territory, but could ares have done sex work in the past? especially ones with the sex vice, though i can't imagine in any universe they would have lasted long dealing with asshole clients lol. i was reading the story from the start and forgot how the way jackie emphasized whores pissed me off(i used to be a dancer). i really wanted ares to knock her teeth in at that point but that'd probably just get them fried haha
I can 100% see it, especially in the months between the Ares/Harper split, and Ares meeting Pete.
I canât see Ares really doing it before the Harper split, mostly bc Ares was 21 at the time, and I think Maggie would have worried too much and shut it down before discussions even properly began.
And yeah! JackieâŚJackie could use some ethics classes, her views donât get better the more we go down.

Somehow Claudia's come into possession of Hermes's old mailbag! Inside are letters from strangers, spirits, and secret admirers, each one addressed to the cast! No matter how difficult it is, Claudia's determined to make sure each letter gets to its recipient, and make sure it gets a response!
If you'd like to send a letter go ahead and leave a comment on my Patreon post with who you're asking. I'll also be accepting questions on Tumblr, or through Patreon DMs. Though, obviously, questions from Patreon supporters' are prioritized.
The answers will be Patreon only, released for both tiers at the same time.
Would their be any reaction to MCs having a name similar to Ares? Like Aries or Eres? I like the symbolism of them being the functionally same but also completely different.
I've written a handful of name interactions out. Mostly the main names (Ares and Mars), but i do have other names in there.
Aries: Yes, but a small one.
Eres: No.
This chapter comes in at around 55k with the whole public demo around 305k and patreon at 331k
Have fun, and I hope you enjoy it!
My focus now shifts to finishing Chapter 6 Part 2. Once that's complete, we'll officially be halfway through the game. And after that, I'll be returning to Chapter 1 to add Jonathan's new scenes.
The chapter skip is still in the works, but it should be ready soon.
really love a corruption arc where the character is trying way too hard to make it work but they're in over their head and it's uncomfortable and embarrassing and they're swallowing their own puke every time they do something awful and damp with sweat and trembling but insistent that they can do this, they want it, they're not a child, but it's like they're playing dressup in clothes that are too big for them and trying to convince their own reflection in the mirror that they fit and it's just no fun to watch at all
Morgan does Ares powers also make and effect in objects? Like as a god of war they can take a, for example, a spoon. Which is harmless object but with Ares power becomes a "weapon made for war" and hits as hard as a claymore
Nope, you already know most of the powers Ares has in game. I mean, Ares does have a few secret powers that not a lot of the gods even know about. But nothing as big as special weapon powers.

just a thought that I had a while back, how would Harper react if Ares only started to transition during those 5 years they were separated, coming back to a completely different person?
I hadnât even considered that, but now that Iâm thinking about itâŚI have to add something for that. Could be spoilers but answer under the cut.
Probably something along the lines of: Fuck, theyâre so much hotter now, does that make me a chaser? Oh jeez, I canât be disrespectful. You can do it Harper, just be normal and compliment them. âYour ass is so fat it makes me want to kill myself.â
But fr, Iâm actually adding it to ch3 now, itâs worthy of a discussion, so thanks!
there's a quest in cyberpunk 2077 where you have to fight in a boxing ring and your coach asks you to take a dive and the entire time im like "ares from god syndicate wouldn't stand for this..."
Punch the coach, and join Samurai bc youâre the reincarnation of Johnny Silverhand
hi morgan i feel like hurting myself with some angst so i wanted to ask does Harper ever think about how betraying Ares was Bad Enough bc not only did Ares lose their best friend/partner in crime, but also theit actions resulted in them losing the only version of a family Ares has ever known outside of their mysteriously absent mom.
i'm thinking about Ares needing a mom hug from Maggie more than ever after the breakup, but knowing that's not their safe space anymore and they'll never have that again.
alternatively, maggie quietly worrying over this kid they managed to raise to adulthood, who now with very little information is just out there alone in the wind asdfhhjkl GOD
DOES HARPER EVER AGONIZE OVER THIS đŤ
In the last 5 years Harper has agonized over every single possible aspect of what happened, lmaooo

The Bonewitch is a horror fantasy inspired by the German Baroque period. This is a standalone IF and is currently in progress.
Content warnings: Please note the game is rated 18+ for scenes including body horror, trauma, blood, drug/alcohol use, dubious consent, sexual content, and mentions of cannibalism.
PLAY THE DEMO / RO INTROS
You are a Bonewitch, born into a bloodline steeped in ancient magic. When you came of age, you were whisked away to the imperial palace to fight and bleed for country.
Soon the wrong kind of blood stained your hands and their words plotted against you. Spared from the executioner's sword, you were exiled to an island, left in isolation.
Alone and scared, perhaps angry, you left to wonder what went wrong. They promised you a pardon, but that was a lie. When a herald summons you to return home years later, you want to feel relief.
Now serving as a confidant of a disgraced noble, you are to realize your role holds more weight than you imagine. You can try to return to normalcy: reuniting with old friends and your past, or perhaps someone new. Despite the freedom, you dread becoming a pawn once more. These years living on the island made you different, your emotions raw.
Will you piece together your mind or let your sanity crumble?
Play as female, male or nonbinary character.
Customize your name, gender, sex, family lineage, and appearance.
Select one out of the three origins to shape how you perceive the world, and how others perceive you. Some scenes will vary with branching options.
Romance one of the four love interests and flings: all of them, or no one.
Choose your patron god and strengthen your devotion. Or stray from their path.
Navigate court politics, befriend, or perhaps make enemies.
Understand (or not) why you are summoned to return. Something in you has changed, and so has the world.
MILENA DORN , the noble (f) - The youngest sibling of House Voryev. You have known her for years, you know every laugh lines, her dislikes and fears. Since your separation, your kinship with her is a distant memory. Nowadays, she only speaks in riddles. (PLAYLIST)
IHRIN CZERNIAK, the knight (m/f) - One of the friendly faces you meet. Newly appointed knight with a heart of gold, and a former soldier of the Nasherein army. But beneath their adoring eyes, there is only pain, both body and mind. (PLAYLIST)
FLORIAN (m/nb) / FLORCIA (f) , the godling - As a child of a god and a mortal woman, they are already been blessed and cursed since birth. Yet, they are nothing more than another replica of the Pale God. Silver hair with porcelain skin, a perfect body in every way. (PLAYLIST )
VINZENT / VANESSZA MASING, the tailor (m/f) - They work for the imperial family as the royal tailor, a respectable position. Vicious, perhaps commanding, they hold some power influencing the court fashion and to a lesser extent, imperial treasury. (PLAYLIST)

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy this short prologue. Let me know if you come across any bugs or issues, or if you have any questions, suggestions, or simply want to encourage me! My inbox is open and I try to answer all the questions as quickly as possible.
Other notes:
This was posted to cheat the system so the anniversary of the game is July 7 like ICARISâ anniversary, so on that note happy 14th year anniversary to ICARIS too!
Start portion is a placeholder. I plan to format it in a way that fits the universe more but currently stuck on how to do certain choices.
No stat page yet. Havenât decided on how to do it yet and there wasnât enough stat variable changes to warrant a stat page at this point in time.
Name choices are all from known idols from western pop, kpop, jpop, ppop, and tpop!
That is all. Thank you again and I do apologize for such a short prologue đ I just really wanted a 7-7 anniversary and I obviously was not going to wait an entire year.
I will now continue writing Chapter 1, which will be much beefier, much longer, maybe more dramatic, and will also introduce some of the other characters. I will be updating progress updates and might post spoilers here and there as I am writing!
