Centuries ago, the fearsome Demon King made a fateful choice: to shatter his immense power into shards and scatter them across the world, vowing to protect the delicate balance between light and shadow. In his final moments, he swore an oath to prevent his return, even if it meant erasing himself from existence.

Each shard Caius claims strengthens his connection to his former life, but it also risks corrupting him, pushing him closer to the shadow of his past. Meanwhile, a mysterious masked figure leads a faction determined to bring the shards together and resurrect the Demon King. They believe Caius is the catalyst for their plans and will stop at nothing to claim the shards—even if it means destroying the fragile balance of the world. As Caius battles Shadowborn, unravels ancient secrets, and faces trials that test his humanity, he must decide what defines him: the monster he was, or the man he wishes to be. But with every step, the shards whisper to him, pulling him closer to the edge of destruction. The world’s fate hinges on Caius’s choices. Will he wield his power to protect or destroy? And can he resist the pull of the very destiny he swore to escape? The Demon King’s Last Oath is a tale of redemption, power, and the enduring struggle between fate and free will.

Never before had I, a sovereign of vast realms, tasted the bitter draught of death. My life, a tapestry of minor scrapes and swift recoveries, had known no true peril until this dire moment. A void, cold and unyielding, crept within my royal flesh, whispering the grim truth of my mortality. How had such realization dawn upon me? It was not through understanding, for knowledge eluded me; it was a feeling—a premonition of an end that wrested from me all semblance of dominion. I stood alone, as I had in life, now in the shadow of death's embrace. My power, once unassailable, held no sway over this fate. My strength, a mere memory; my cunning, rendered futile; and my magic, a dormant force that stirred not in my need. There, before the gaping maw of oblivion, I knelt, my sword—a steadfast companion—my sole comfort as the eternal slumber beckoned. My limbs were betraying me, their vigor lost to the encroaching frost. My grip faltered, the hilt of my blade slipping from weakening hands. Darkness veiled my sight, its inexorable tide engulfing me, offering no quarter, no hope of retreat. My last thought were only how quaint the instruments of my undoing were—a youth, an enfeebled sorcerer, and the cursed relic of my lineage. Such a trifling coalition, I would have scorned in days of yore, yet it was they who heralded my fall. And what about the legacy I was leaving behind that moment? Might it all collapse? This last ponderance lingered as I crossed the threshold into the unknown. Holy Shadows, it seemed that I might be reborn with already deep-seated regret and disgrace. I wished to end it quick.
