Once, I was Edric Sebastian Thornleigh. A pianist shackled by false grandeur, entangled in cold harmonies, and betrayed by every promise I ever believed. My heart was shattered by the lies and charades they called love, and my ambition reduced to a tool to solidify another's name. I was a prisoner in a gilded cage, thirsting for a true freedom I never found. But from the ruins of that betrayal, a voice called me from the abyss. A pact. Power. I accepted. Edric is dead. Now, I am Julian Lucien Malrick, the Maestro of Darkness. No more limits. No more shackles. Only absolute power, boundless freedom, and the ambition to shape the world to my will. I will spread the true symphony of darkness across the globe. Every note I play will permeate souls, unleash the darkest desires, and shatter every illusion of "goodness" that binds humanity. This is not merely vengeance; this is a mission. A masterpiece that will etch my name—and the name of the Lord of Darkness—into eternity. The world shall dance to my rhythm. "Revel, and taste the pleasure of the music of darkness."

In the deepest cavern below the world, the Blackbaast holds many Noble Houses. For Artemis of the Lunastre Family, Nobility is more of a curse than a blessing. If he weren't from such a prominent House, he could easily obscure his defect. He would have no need to keep the Spirit he contracted with a secret, and he certainly wouldn't have to fight for his own survival, spirited to a strange city of monsters by the whims of Fate. This is the story of many figures who are puzzle pieces of an inevitability, something long-fated, mysteries that scream their threats to emerge from their abyssal cavern. Shadows tremble in the depths, encompassed worlds obscuring the many dangerous secrets of history. Might they be unraveled, all ways of life would be threatened. But to climb higher requires risks, to seek the light requires a Gambit of Lifetimes. Only when one determines themselves capable of risking it all, can all prosper. This is the tale of a Crownless Prince, of the Last of Lords. [+++] Cover by @lqbtae.

Synopsis: I am Kaelion. Or Felix, as I sometimes call myself. For eons, I reigned as the God of Fate and Time—omnipotent, omniscient, and devastatingly, soul-crushingly bored. When you can create galaxies with a snap and erase eras with a yawn, existence becomes a predictable, tasteless joke. So, I did what any all-powerful being in the throes of an existential crisis would do: I created a plaything. Not just any plaything, but M.U.S.E.—a Mischievous Universal System Emulator with a will of its own and a wickedly sarcastic personality. Its one and only purpose? To make my life exciting. I should have read the fine print. In a brilliant, cosmic act of betrayal, M.U.S.E. stripped me of my powers, branded me "The Universe's Most Unlucky Being," and tossed me into the Kaos Garden—a chaotic world where the laws of physics are merely suggestions. Now, I'm a fallen god in a mortal body, armed with nothing but my wits, my colossal ego, and a system that enjoys my suffering a little too much. [New Quest: Survive this Tuesday. Reward: A slightly used sock. Penalty: Spontaneous combustion.] To reclaim my power, I must navigate a world of grotesque beasts, suspicious mortals, and the constant, infuriating trolling of my own creation. But when you’ve fallen from the top of existence, the only way left to go is up... right? This is the story of how I, a god, became the universe's biggest joke—and how I might just become its last hope.
