My heart raced as my eyes shifted to the figure standing before me: a young girl with long black hair and fathomless eyes, wearing a black dress that seemed to drink in the light itself In the Kingdom of Thane, where summoners are the pinnacle of power and the strength of their summon defines their worth, I had become the first Diamond-grade summoner in its history.

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. Reborn as Caius Thorne, the youngest son of a noble family, he is a boy haunted by whispers of a life he does not remember and a power he cannot fully control. When dark forces—the Shadowborn—attack his family estate, Caius is forced to unleash his forbidden flames, revealing a side of himself he fears. Cast out by his father, he begins a journey to uncover the truth about his past and stop a rising darkness threatening to unravel the world. Joined by Elara Belmont, his strong-willed betrothed who refuses to be left behind, and a cryptic rogue with glowing silver runes, Caius learns that the shards of the Demon King’s power are more than fragments of strength—they are keys to breaking the veil between realms. 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.

This novel is about a daydreamer whose daydreams became real

Wishes are subjective, and those who are reborn are nothing but hypocrites unworthy of the first. Words crumble to ashes, and memories of their origins resonate within fractured bodies. Amid a dream that is no mere illusion but a radiant illumination, shadows grow deeper, and the truth reveals itself, a child’s dream begins. I woke up in a world of uncertainty, a realm twisted and cruel, where swords clash, blood stains the ground, and monstrous beasts stalk the living. Flying ships drift above boundless chains that shackle the sky, while wars rage endlessly with weapons both ancient and unknown. It’s a place where beauty and terror coexist, where joy flickers like a fragile flame before being consumed by shadow. I am Celm, a man whose memories feel like shards of glass, fractured, distant, and painful. I don’t know who I truly am or why this world feels both alien and hauntingly familiar. The forsaken lands around me pulse with disasters and despair, as people endure a cycle of torment they cannot escape. And yet, hidden within this chaos lies a haunting beauty, a world that shifts and bends under the weight of forgotten truths. In this labyrinth of suffering and wonder, whispers of the Forsaken World linger, a place where the truth is absolute, where the laws of other realms erode, and where even gods lose their divinity. Every step I take feels like a descent into something deeper, a dream interwoven with reality and riddled with secrets. What is my place in this nightmare? What lies at the heart of a dream so vivid it burns brighter than light itself? I don’t know where the path leads, but I do know one thing: the truth, however unbearable, cannot be avoided forever.

In the distant and mysterious interstellar world, ancient civilizations have faded like a dying candle in the wind, with shattered ruins and lost traditions lingering only in vague historical records. In this era, Dream Forgers, with their powerful mental abilities, construct dreams and engage in fierce battles with dream beasts, becoming revered figures. They are the spiritual backbone of the interstellar world, weaving dreams that connect people to the distant echoes of past civilizations. Lily, a graduate student in dream studies from Earth, found her fate dramatically altered in an unexpected twist. She was transported into the world of an interstellar romance novel, only to become the tragic side character. Despite possessing mental power, her lack of imagination became her fatal flaw in her quest to become a Dream Forger.

As the curtain rose on the interstellar dream streaming battle, a legendary journey that would the entire interstellar world began. During the Beast Summoning Exam, while other competitors summoned common interstellar pets to engage in standard battles with dream beasts, Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

With its wings spread wide, it looked as though it could tear the universe apart, and with each beat, the winds and clouds shifted. The interstellar audience was left speechless, their gasps of amazement echoing through the air.

Amidst the swirling clouds, the Azure Dragon weaved through them, sometimes summoning rain and clouds, nourishing the mysterious dream world. And upon an ancient phoenix tree, a phoenix sang loudly, surrounded by fierce flames, its rebirth through fire a magnificent sight that left all who watched in awe. The interstellar people had never witnessed such a strange and culturally rich dreamscape. For a moment, the entire interstellar network erupted in a frenzy of excitement.

The shard flared, its light blazing like a star, forcing Erynn to shield their eyes. A voice resonated through the square, ancient and layered with echoes, each word striking like a bell in their chest. “You are not ready… but you are chosen.” The air trembled, and a searing warmth coursed through Erynn’s body. They fell to their knees as images erupted behind their eyes—worlds unraveling, a fortress cloaked in shadow, a figure whose burning gaze pierced through the darkness. Each vision felt like it was tearing through time itself, a thousand lifetimes compressed into a heartbeat. And then, silence.
