Shadow Monarch Ascendence

Betrayed. Forgotten. Erased from history. Kael Draven was once a loyal knight of the Divine Order, an elite warrior who fought in their name. But when he uncovered their darkest secrets, they silenced him—branding him a traitor and executing him without hesitation. Yet death was not the end. An unknown force grants Kael a second chance, sending him twenty years into the past. Now, in his seventeen-year-old body, he has one goal: to bring down the Divine Order from the shadows. Armed with knowledge of the future and a system that grants power at a deadly cost, Kael must rebuild his strength, gather allies, and navigate a world where his enemies still hold absolute control. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes—the Divine Order’s corruption runs far deeper than he ever imagined. The world believes the Divine Order is untouchable. Kael will prove them wrong. This time, he won’t fight for them. He will bring them to ruin.

The System defined the fate of the world. For the lucky, it is the key to power. For the unlucky, it is a death sentence. Kiyen was born without a System, without opportunities, without a future. To save his mother, he throws himself into the mines, the place where the weak disappear. But when his survival instinct pushes him beyond his limits, something impossible happens.

Levi, the infamous Shadow Monarch, has lived countless lifetimes, trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth. Each time, he rises to power, only to be hunted by the same relentless enemy. But when a mysterious figure offers him a final chance to awaken from this nightmare, Levi must confront the truth—his past desires have chained him to fate itself. To break free, he must rewrite his destiny, protect those he once used, and challenge the unseen forces manipulating reality. Will he finally escape, or is this just another illusion?

Dropped!!! Recommendation: If you love magus books and something seriously unique and set in the beautiful old era with Kingdom building and something beyond the world, then read: The Wizard Prince is also a Swordsman! By FangHamburger. (Note: Not mine, this is simply a promotion for a promising author I met.)

How far would you go to save your family? Would you take a life for them? A hundred? A thousand? How many before your conscience finally screams, "Enough"? They answered this question with [Ruination]—an unprecedented catastrophe that wiped out countless universes, all for the faintest chance to reclaim what was lost. No hesitation. No regret. Perhaps the Heavens sought to reward them for their love—or punish them for the slaughter of untold worlds. Either way, they were granted a second chance—to return to the past and reshape their fate. In a world where every lifeform’s destiny is predetermined by the Heavens, NOX and Lucas uncover a chilling truth: the purpose of life is not merely to exist, but to pursue [Transcendence]. One is destined to achieve [Transcendence], while the other—whether willing or unwilling—must assist another in achieving it. Follow NOX and Lucas, as one is fated to transcend, while the other is doomed to be forgotten by history. Can they break free from their predetermined paths? Or will they scream, “I will defy the Heavens!” like a protagonist in a Dragon Country novel? Can the Heavens tolerate such blasphemy?

Accused of treason against the empire he once swore to protect, he was sentenced to death by fire, his body reduced to embers before the eyes of thousands. But death does not claim him. Buried beneath the ashes of his own execution, Cassian wakes in a ruined husk of a body, alive but forever burned.

Succumb to the monstrous power rising within him and take his place as the true god of the fallen.

In a world where fate is dictated by the gods, Lorien awakens to a power that should not exist—the depths of chaos, an ancient force erased from history. His village is destroyed in a single night, and as the last survivor, he is thrust into an unforgiving battle against destiny itself. Marked as the new Sovereign, Lorien gains access to a cryptic system that grants him overwhelming abilities—but at a cost. Each skill he unlocks is tied to a trial, a test that warps reality itself. If he overcomes them, he grows stronger. If he fails, the world reshapes as if he never existed. But the deeper he delves into his power, the more he realizes the truth: he is not the first Sovereign of Chaos. Haunted by echoes of his predecessor’s downfall, Lorien must navigate a war between the Demon King’s legions, divine enforcers, and shadowy factions seeking to manipulate his fate. Alongside unexpected allies—including a mercenary with a dark past and a cunning rogue with secrets of her own—he uncovers the legend of a child born under a cursed star, one who holds the key to unshackling Chaos from its prison. Yet among all the betrayals and battles, one revelation shatters his resolve—his fate is entwined with a woman destined to become a god, a divine being created for one purpose: to kill him. With time running out, Lorien must defy prophecy, master the chaos within him, and challenge the very fabric of existence. Because if he fails, he won’t just lose his life—he’ll be erased from time itself. And in the end, only one truth remains: Chaos was never meant to be controlled.

In the world of Tenebrous, where darkness births monsters and shadows hold secrets, Kael emerges as an unlikely protagonist. Once a promising E-class hunter, his life was shattered when his clan was massacred and he was framed for their murder. Now branded as a traitor by the Hunter's Guild, Kael survives in the shadows, driven solely by his quest for revenge against those who destroyed everything he held dear.

This ancient power recognizes his rare Shadow Affinity – a trait occurring in perhaps one hunter in ten thousand – and sets him on a path toward unimaginable strength. As he navigates this new reality, Kael discovers he can manipulate darkness itself, moving unseen and striking from the very shadows. The story follows Kael's journey through a complex world where hunters are ranked from F-class novices to the legendary SSS-class masters who can reshape reality.

His path becomes intertwined with powerful forces – including enigmatic figures who seem to understand more about his destiny than they reveal.

As he rises through the ranks, he must confront whether his pursuit of vengeance will consume him entirely, or if he can forge a different path – one that balances his desire for justice with the weight of his growing power. Will Kael remain forever bound to the shadows of his past, or will he emerge as something greater – a force capable of reshaping the very fabric of Tenebrous?
