They thought I was just a background extra in someone else's story. Born into one of the most powerful noble houses in the empire, I was the unwanted child — ignored, forgotten, discarded. When my father remarried, I was nothing more than a name in the registry. My step-siblings got the titles, the wealth, the legacy. I got the dungeon. They left me to rot. But in the shadows, I built something far greater. I am the Master, the unseen puppeteer of the Crimson Veil, an underground organization of elite assassins trained in magic, seduction, and death. All of them — beautiful, deadly, and bound by blood contracts are succubi I saved from slavery, war, and extinction. Where others saw monsters, I saw tools. And now they worship me like a god. The world thinks we’re a myth. A whisper. A tale told to scare nobles into behaving. But that’s about to change. When my family is caught in a political war and cries out for help from the very shadows they once banished me to... I answer. Not for mercy. Not for forgiveness. For revenge. This is not their story. This is not a hero’s tale. This is The Master’s POV.
