Oracle of Tao Novel

Thousands of years in Earth's future, spiritual upheaval causes the barrier between the physical and spiritual worlds to weaken, unleashing ghouls and demons upon humanity. While most are resealed by new religions, the demon Belial proves too powerful to contain without angelic intervention. In the present day, a street beggar named Ambrosia Brahmin is chosen by God for a divine quest. She assembles a diverse party including a swordsman, shaman, thief, druid, exorcist, angel, and demon to aid her mission. Unbeknownst to them, the ancient demon Belial—sealed away in a jar for millennia—is gradually being released by a deceived wizard who has been promised false rewards in exchange for breaking the seal. This novel, originally created as an RPG Maker 2003 video game, has been published on Amazon KDP and continues to be developed with occasional additions.
