Starting As A Black

Demonic Cultivation: Starting As a Horse Bandit

[Demonic Path Cultivation + Cold-Blooded + Ruthless + Eerie Immortal Path] [Male protagonist is a regular man, has women but no main female lead.] Xu Sanyan, born as a horse bandit, understands the harsh truth that human life is as insignificant as grass. Kill, or be killed. To survive, he cuts off his compassion, unleashing his darkest self. For a single cultivation technique, he slaughtered a city and wiped out villages. For a spell manual, he cut down those he once cherished. From the "Blood Demon Corpse Refining Technique" to the "Soul-Condensing Ghost Art," his cold blade drips with countless lives. In a world like this, he knows reliance on others is futile. Xu Sanyan’s only desire is to wield his blade and cultivate his inner strength to claim the celestial fruits beyond the Nine Heavens. Translator's Note: if you think this story might be similar to Korean "Demon Sect" stories then be warned because the themes explored in this novel maybe too graphic and inappropriate for certain audiences. Although I have seen reviews on my previous novel (RDC) stating that it wasn't as demonic as the synopsis made it out to be. But since I am bringing this to you, I feel this is my responsibility to put in this disclaimer. Still in the beginning phases of translation, so I don't know how true the synopsis is to the story. If you do find it to your tastes don't forget to leave a 5-star review. Read ahead on Pa.treon@CindelTL

THE BLACK AGE

Genre: Dark Fantasy / Supernatural Thriller Tone: Gothic, Introspective, Violent, Mysterious Setting: A fractured world where the mystical and mortal coexist in a fragile truce, post-cataclysm. Centuries ago, a celestial event known as “The Rift” opened a gateway between the mortal realm and the Veil—a dimension of raw magic and forgotten horrors. In its wake, humans mutated, evolved, and interbred with supernatural creatures. In a crumbling world where ancient pacts once kept order between vampires, werewolves, witches, revenants, and other mystical beings, those fragile lines are shattering. The Age of Balance is gone. Now, a deeper darkness stirs beneath the surface—a forgotten power long buried is clawing its way back into reality. The story follows Aeron Vale, a revenant with fragmented memories; Elara Nyxis, the last scion of a powerful witch bloodline with ties to a realm of dream and prophecy; and Riven, a half-werewolf, half-something-else hybrid whose true nature is barely restrained. Together, they become entangled in a rising war between factions: The Crimson Conclave (they are a collection of ancient vampire lineages that once formed the ruling elite during the last age of balance). The Pale Synod’s Ember Paladins (holy warriors hunting down the corrupted). The Eclipsed Moon Order (a cult-like faction dedicated to lunar mysticism). The Hollowed, whose godlike patron seeks rebirth. The Faeblood Courts, eerie, ancient, and politically manipulative. Themes & Twists: Memory vs. Identity: Can you trust who you are if your memories are lies? Cycle of Betrayal: History repeats—unless someone chooses to break the loop. Moral Ambiguity: No faction is purely good or evil; survival has twisted all of them. Reality vs. Illusion: Faeblood magic distorts time and memory—what the reader believes is real may not be.
