Chapter 1 - Intro

"They say power corrupts... but what if corruption was the price of power?"

In a world where seven great spirit books govern the fate of nations, history is written not by kings, but by those who wield the ink of destiny. Each book carries a truth so profound, so terrifying, that only the strongest—or the most desperate—can bear to hold them.

Lucian never asked for power. He never sought the weight of history on his shoulders. Yet, when his grandfather fell to an unknown fate, he was left with a single book, bound in shadows and secrets.

The Book of Envy.

A tome whispered about in legends, feared even among the great seven. It grants its holder their deepest desires, shaping reality itself—but only once it deems them worthy. And worthiness? It is not measured in strength, nor wisdom, nor will.

It is measured in control.

But what does it mean to control Envy—when Envy itself seeks to control you?

"Tell me, child… if your greatest wish came true, would you still call it yours?"
