Luci

In the Empire of Vaelgard, the path to the throne isn’t won by blood alone but by brilliance, battle, and the King Project. Through the halls of King’s Academy, elite guilds compete for the right to ascend as royal successors. Every student is ranked by the system’s divine seal, determined by the Aspect Talents they awaken: Valor for Knights, Dominion for Kings, Clarity for Queens... and Insight—a low-tier Aspect most suited for Pawns. Lucian Greyveil was a Pawn. A commoner. A no-name. But he was also the mastermind behind Guild Aetherion, the top-ranking guild of the Kings project. He crafted their strategies. Predicted enemy moves. Covered weaknesses. He never sought the crown—he only wanted a place to belong. That was his first... and last mistake. When Aetherion rose to the rank of eligible royal successors, the nobles no longer needed a founding member that was lowborn pawn. Lucian was discarded without fanfare—replaced by a noble-born with a higher-ranked Aspect. He didn’t rage. He didn’t beg. He simply bowed... and left with a promise: "I will return. And will claim that throne... And your heads." Vanishing into obscurity, Lucian began assembling a new guild—one made not of prodigies, but rejects. Not of royals, but rogues. He trained them, pushed them. Now, a new guild emerges from the shadows. The Black Sigil. And as the final stage of the King Project approaches, the nobility will learn: perhaps a pawn could be the strongest piece on the board when played right.

In a world torn apart by rifts that release dangerous monsters, Espers—humans imbued with powerful abilities—serve as humanity's last line of defense. But the power of an Esper comes with a price. Overuse of their abilities leads to dangerous corruption, a force that can destroy them from the inside out. This is where Guides come in: individuals with the unique ability to calm the corruption within Espers and restore their balance. Rowan Mercer, an S-class Guide, is one of the best in his field, capable of stabilizing even the most dangerous Espers. He has worked quietly behind the scenes, helping those in need, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he is called to work with Lucian Vaughn, an S-class Esper whose immense power and unstable corruption levels make him a dangerous threat to himself and others. Lucian, a tall, stoic, and enigmatic figure, has long fought against the growing corruption within him. At first, his relationship with Rowan is purely professional—Rowan as his Guide, helping him to stay in control. However, as their interactions grow more frequent, their bond deepens in ways neither expected. What started as a simple duty soon turns into a complex relationship where power, trust, and vulnerability collide. As the world around them faces escalating threats from rifts, Rowan and Lucian must navigate not only their personal challenges but also the dangerous world of Espers and Guides. Their bond will be tested as they fight together against the corrupting forces that threaten them both. In Corrupted Bonds, survival isn’t just about battling monsters from the rifts—it's about fighting the darkness within themselves and finding a way to stay connected in a world that’s constantly pulling them apart.

"I told you I was the real princess." "You shouldn’t have taken everything from me." "We’re so sorry, Lucy. We should have protected you, stood by you, and loved you the way you deserved," Xaden choked out, his voice thick with regret. "Help us... please," Caden pleaded, his eyes burning with unshed tears. "Don’t even think of crossing paths with me again," I hissed. "You already lost that chance." Then I turned and walked away, leaving them to their ruins. … They didn’t just doubt her.

However, everything changed when he awakened an F-rank talent instead of the expected S-rank talent. “It must be a mistake?” “See? I told you he would awaken a trash talent.” “All that potential, for an F-ranker?” His girlfriend who awakened a C-rank talent, “What a waste, Lucian. My father took you in for nothing!” His best-friend who awakened an A-rank talent, “You know, seeing you so weak and vulnerable is kind of refreshing. She always hated your endless confidence, so do I.

“Justice is just a story... written by those who won.” Lucian Veylor was executed as a villain. But what if he was the only one who ever saw the truth? Now, reborn in an empire on the brink of collapse—where heroes are staged, and weakness is erased—Lucian awakens with the Villain System: a sentient interface that thrives on fear, control, and calculated dominance. This isn’t revenge. It’s redirection. He sees the narrative. He understands the rules. And he will overwrite them—line by line. Power? He’ll carve his own throne. Enemies? He’ll use them as tools. Truth? He’ll twist it into a blade. In a world that worships false heroes and shallow justice, Lucian will rise as the ultimate contradiction— the villain who tells the truth... and rewrites the world in silence.

Lucian was just an ordinary human—until an unexpected anomaly thrust him into another world. To his surprise, he found himself bound to something called the Divine Gift System the moment he arrived. And then she showed up. A self-proclaimed “Goddess of Time,”who also happened to be a failure of a deity—and a half-spirit at that. Her name was Lysera, and for some reason, she decided to cling to Lucian like a parasite. “Are you a guy or a girl?” Lysera glanced at her rather flat chest, then exploded. “You idiot! Can’t you tell?! I’m obviously a girl!” … Then there was the adorable little Slime in front of him. Wait—a Demon Slime? Apparently, once fully grown, it could devour the entire world. “Contract? It needs blood?! That’s gonna hurt!” Lucian stared sadly at his fingertip. … Soon enough, Lucian began to realize the true nature of this world—one filled with magic, monsters, and countless intelligent races. And the deeper he explored, the more he uncovered shocking truths that defied everything he thought he knew. Armed with his knowledge of every isekai trope in the book, Lucian stepped boldly into this new world. This time, he was determined to live life differently—to chase the wildest fantasies he never dared to dream in his past life. But what would it cost? ============================ ……………………………………………………….
