Postmortem is a 2013 story written by Minato Hikari (Mikari for short) and published online on the brazilian website Nyah! Fanfiction
, currently only available in portuguese.
Lucifer and his legions of hell have been summoned in our world by a woman named Yui. The demons created an empire here and it's up to Shinji (a mysterious boy with mysterious powers), Drake (an half-demon ex-mercenary), Kuro (a cold-blooded femme fatale assassin) and the group Postmortem to put an end to the so-called Genesis Empire.
