Number One Divination

Title: **Darkness: road to divine** As a Dark Warrior, I have traversed the ravaged expanse of a world in turmoil, guided by the whispers of the wind and the thrum of the obsidian dagger. My journey is a testament to the existential struggle between the dichotomous forces of power and control, as I navigate the labyrinthine complexities of allegiance and deception. This treatise delves into the fantastical realm of shadow magic, exploring the symbiotic relationship between the artifact and its wielder. Through a narrative of self-discovery and ancient lore, I unravel the mysteries of the god-beast's essence and the residual magic that permeates the shattered landscape. Theoretical frameworks of artifact manipulation, forgotten magic, and the consequences of wielding unbridled power are juxtaposed with the pragmatism of survival in a world torn asunder. The intersections of fate and free will are examined, as I confront the nuances of trust and suspicion in the face of an enigmatic ally, Lyra. This abstract serves as a portal to a realm of uncharted possibilities, where the boundaries of destiny are pushed and the fabric of reality is reshaped. As the Dark Warrior 'solace', I invite you to embark on a perilous odyssey, where the shadows themselves become a canvas for the unfolding drama of power, choice, and the unwritten future. **Keywords:** Dark Warrior, Shadow Magic, Artifact, Power Dynamics, Destiny, Allegiance, Deception, Ancient Lore, Forgotten Magic.

In an era where war was an everyday occurrence and death was nothing but a mere consequence of being weak, his journey towards the labyrinth of revenge had begun. - - - - - Read at least six chapters and please be prepared to crave the rest.

Dragos didn't look away, his gaze glued to my throat, and I saw his eyes gradually start to turn red, revealing his bloodlust. But he pulled back, flinching as if in pain. "No. No. No," he muttered repeatedly, his back to me. When he turned, his eyes were fully red, and the veins around them stood out. "I haven't even fed from you yet and look… look how out of control I am." He sounded frustrated, but I didn't care, I was turned on. This was how hard it was for him to resist me. This was how much he wanted me. "It's okay," I whispered, moving closer, but Dragos fell another step back each time I neared him. "Please, Dawn, don't," he begged. I stood still and began to remove my pyjama top. I had pulled it halfway up, exposing the underside of my breasts, when Dragos hissed in disapproval, scolding me for trying to tempt him. "Don't" he warned, but I could feel his eyes linger on my exposed boobs. "Or what?" I asked in a daring tone, stepping closer and letting my hands wander down to caress him through his pants. I wasn't surprised to feel him hard beneath the fabric, and I looked up with a teasing smile. "What will you do, Dragos?" ††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††† Dragos Nicolae Vlad III has chosen solitude over his destined role as the leader of vampires.

In a world where divine power dictates fate, strength alone is not enough to survive. The strong rule, the weak are discarded, and trust is a fool’s gamble. Xenos learned this the hard way. Betrayed by those closest to him, he abandoned all faith in people, choosing to rely only on his intelligence and power. To trust is to be controlled, and Xenos refuses to be anyone’s pawn. Unlike the Diviners—who are born with innate abilities that tie them to the heavens—Xenos views power differently. He does not submit to fate; he bends it to his will. Every alliance he forms is temporary, every step he takes is calculated, and every enemy he makes is just another obstacle to be removed. Yet beneath his cold, ruthless exterior, a question lingers. What is his purpose? What does he truly seek? He moves forward not just to survive, but to find a goal worth chasing in a world that has given him nothing. As gods watch from above and powerful forces conspire in the shadows, Xenos walks a path of his own making—one of manipulation, defiance, and absolute control. But in a world where power is everything, will he ever find the answer he seeks? A tale of betrayal, strategy, and a relentless search for purpose. In a world without trust, can Xenos find something worth believing in?

Under the alias Ace, he became a master thief, never caught, never seen—until one heist changed everything. Betrayed by a partner and cornered by a god’s champion, Alister should have died.

With this power, Alister assembles a crew of those wronged by the divine. Their target? The heavens themselves. After all, if the gods won’t share their power… he’ll just take it.
