Well, so this was "Depths of Hell: The Demon Rebellion Arc".

To be honest, in spite of naming it Arc, I wasn't really counting on continuing the story after finishing it. In fact, I wasn't counting with many things.

I thought this would end at about 25-30 Chapters at most, but your support along with my own inspiration convinced me of taking things further and adding and creating a lot more stuff than I had thought when I first planned it all.

Needless to say, I hope that everything seemed okay to you as you read and that nothing seemed too out of character or disconnected from the rest of the events.

Of course, this is a Fanfic. I changed stuff, I developed both characters and their relationships in order to work and to convey as best as I could, but there will always be people who seem off with some of the choices one makes as a writer.

For example, while not confirmed, Nelliel's aspect of Death is supposed to be Lamentation, but honestly from my perspective, it didn't fit her as well as Betrayal.

Then we have all the backstory I made with both the Gods, Hueco Mundo and stuff, so... If you want to think of this World, I'd rather have you think of it as an alternate version of Bleach.

For the reckon, while we follow the same TYBW, CFYOW... structure, many things aren't the same way they used to be, so a lot of stuff will have to change and occur in different ways, and to that I wanted to get now.

The next part planned is of course a TYBW rewrite that takes into consideration DoH as its prequel.

Because of this, I wanted to clarify that I'm going to make a lot of stuff up, in the sense of backstories for the Sternritters and stuff of that kind, cause in the Manga, these guys just come out of nowhere being total psychopaths in some cases, or just behaving in a very special way, yet we rarely saw why this happened.

There are some exceptions like Äs Nödt, Jugram, Bazz B, and a couple others, but I want to go deeper into this, especially with the Femritters.

Who is this OC, Atticus, for example?

Well, that's something left to the story, right? But I can leave you a little data piece:

Atticus Arctopus

Age: 20

Blood Type: O

Height: 180 cm.

Race: Human?

Skill: Archétype

Eye color: Dark purple

Hair color: White

Well, with that part closed, let's go into the more organizational stuff.

So, what's gonna happen from here? When is next part coming out?

Well, I want to start by saying that I want to take a little hiatus from writing Bleach for three reasons, ordered from less to most important:

1. Rest: I need to breathe for a moment, watch other Anime, have other sources of entertainment and inspiration and also dedicate to College, guitar, videogames and attempting to draw.

2. Investigation: I want to reread TYBW and have everything clear about the different characters, abilities, places and all content that appears in this Arc.

3. Light Novel: YES, the time has come. I'm gonna release my original Light Novel in its Raw Format (no drawings) in Web Novel, in a couple days.

This last point is the most important cause I NEED your support. I need to know whether my story is interesting, what do you think about the characters, tell me what seems off or what I could improve, and of course, if you enjoy it, support it by sharing it or telling your friends about it.

Cause, mark my words...

This story is my life's work.

I want to be a LN writer.

I want to be able to live of doing this.

I want to see this turned into a Comic/Manga and, my greatest aspiration is to see it turned into an Anime.

So I need YOU, whoever is reading this, to at least give it a try once it's up.

Of course, my account's name is "Evhron" in Web Novel as well, and I'll only release that story for the meantime, so it's gonna be pretty easy to find once it's up.

With that said, I want to leave clear that I still want to write Fanfics cause it's a nice way of practicing and having fun, but I'm gonna need more time to focus in my Original Work above it, that's all. I hope you all understand.

About Depths of Hell:

OCs inspiration:

Koichiro and Soichiro: Unicorn and Amduscias from Castlevania CoD.

Mizuwari: Medusa of course.

Kachiki: Based on both Kenpachi from Bleach and Akuma from Street Fighter.

Four Horsemen names: They are all Japanese guitarists, with the exception of Kento, who comes from Sugisaki Kento, vocalist of 7YEARS TO MIDNIGHT. None of them are evil, and they are all amazing artists, so even if I killed all Horsemen, do not mistake this for hate. I admire them all greatly.

Nakagawa Nageki: There are various inspirations for this one. Name-wise, it is Daijiro Nakagawa, guitarist from JYOCHO. His appearance is more like Yoshida Shouyo from Gintama, and his character is a mixture of this and Lloyd from Code Geass. The name Nel knew, Quasimodo Gandolfi, is a mixture of two things: Quasimodo is a great song by Monuments, and Gandolfi comes from Rinaldo Gandolfi, alchemist in Castlevania LoI.

Neberu: In its previous state, Legion, it comes from Legion/Granfalloon. On its luminous being state, it's based on Nuculais, secret boss of Castlevania CoD. His name comes from an underground Djent band.

Yomi: It literally means Hell in Japanese. Her appearance is based on the character on the cover of an EP by Imperial Circus Dead Decadence. Her potential is that of Yama himself, without the ability to manipulate energy however.

Arikado: Based on the angel of the fifth trumpet, Abaddon. His name comes from Alucard's secret identity in Castlevania AoS and DoS, Arikado Genya. Design-wise, he's somewhat similar to Isaac of Castlevania CoD, but in spite of his longer hair, he's way more masculine lol.

Bryssling Bildungsroman: Name-wise, he comes from the Spawn Of Possession guitarist, Jonas Bryssling; the second part is a style of book in which a character matures psychologically as he grows physically as well, referencing how Bryssling changed greatly across the ages, starting as a Nnoitra-style Adjuchas that was surpassed by a stronger female who dominated him afterwards, and instead of rejecting this, learned how to idolize this leader, to the point in which he felt it was the only way of living. When Nel encounters him again, he has developed a sense of leadership on his own, yet he knows it isn't in him to be in this position, thus happily allows Gin to rule over him and his men as he recognizes him as a capable man in all senses. Finally, upon his death, he had understood Hollows were way more than what he learned at the Blood Forest, and protects Satya as he sees him as a way more valuable person than he is himself, perfectly understanding why Nel never came back in spite of her power and position. His phrase comes from the song "Lash By Lash" by Spawn Of Possession.

Satya Żytecki: Name based on the song Satya's Diary by Jakub Żytecki, one of the most outstanding modern musicians and guitarists in the world. Appearance-wise, he's based on Horibe Itona and on his mature form, I'd say he's a mixture between Bakura Ryo and Uchiha Madara. Personality-wise, he's still similar to Itona, but honestly, he's a character of his own. He's meant to show a degree of autism and a detachment from the world in general, but this disconnection is also the reason he can see things others can't, and his thought process is more chaotic yet way faster than other characters'. He's a genius, but his lack of communication makes it difficult for others to see, and the only moments in which he can escape the chaos completely is either when fighting or in his mature state, but even then, he fears his own abilities for how dangerous they can come to be. He also sees Lilynette as a "big sister" figure, thus calling her Lily-nee. He also finds her attractive. His powers also resemble Shaka from Saint Seiya.

Scar Queen and Dark Nel: While still retaining Nelliel's essence, most of this Siren's traits were based on Esdeath, Dark Roll, Shion, Yuno, Albedo and above all, Yubel. Dark Nel as a plot twist was an idea I had after rewatching Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and drinking too much Whiskey tbh... After that I went into a Yandere Spiral, and since I've always hated mind-control, brainwashing, extortion and such sitiations tainting lovely and wholesome relationships, so I figured it would be the best way to both change the course of the story, make everyone cringe and suffer (including me) and force Ichigo to grow, while still having some pretty awesome moments and interactions from her part. As crazy as she is, I love Dark Nel, not gonna lie ahahahaha.

Places inspiration:

Jigoku: Mixture between Dante's Inferno, the Buddhist Hell and the Greek Underworld.

Carved Desert Canyons: Literally, the album cover of a Scale The Summit album called "Carving Desert Canyons".

Blood Forest: Based mainly on the Red Forest in Ukraine, desolated by the Chernobyl Disaster. The area known as the "Hidden Gardens" is possibly one of the most beautiful landscapes in Hueco Mundo however, and the name comes from the album, Journey Through The Hidden Gardens by DispersE.

The Holy Mountain: Based upon Slice The Cake's album "Odyssey To The West". Is it real? Is it an illusion? A mere challenge inside Ichigo's mind? No one knows...

Castle In The Sky: Another one from Slice The Cake, but it's also based on Laputa and Dracula's Castle in Castlevania.

Blackwater Park: Of course, this was inspired by one of my all-time favorite albums, by one of my favourite bands as well, Opeth. We didn't really get to see this place this time, but don't worry, cause we'll go deeper into it on the next Arc.

Well... To finish, I'd like to specially thank everyone who read this story from start to finish, it means a lot to me.

Also, a little more special greeting to Antex-The Legendary Zoroark for his feedback and participation on every Chapter, even though I told him it wasn't necessary haha.

Back to the general public, I hope this is not the only Story you read from me. I really want to offer this world something more... I really wish to be able to print many feelings and ideas in my Novel, in order to be understood better as a human being.

I've never connected really well with other people, but when I play music, cook or write, this is possible, and that's my main aim when writing all these stories.

Thank you all for your time and your support...

Evhron.
