Kayn never asked for much, just a stable income, enough to put his little brother through college and enough strength to keep his family safe from the incoming world war. But when he finally steps into Votum, the world beyond the portals that changed Earth forever, everything goes wrong. Swallowed by a unique dungeon, Kayn woke up in a twisted land. Black skies, crimson forests, and monsters unlike anything ever seen before. And when he absorbs his first monster essence, his transformation core activates. “Demon essence consumed.” “You are the first human to absorb a demon.” “You have become the progenitor.” “You may customize your demon transformation.” ========================= Author's note : This story will juggle between Earth, Votum, and the Demon World. He might not be able to travel to the three worlds freely at the beginning, but he would find a way to do that later on. The tone of the novel would also change depending on the world in which he currently resides. I hope you all find this an enjoyable read to pass the time.

n a forest long devoured by silence, where roots whisper secrets to bones and stars forget to shine, a girl was born wrong — or perhaps, too right. They once called her nothing. Then they called her Lovecraft, for what she became defied form. Now, in song and ruin, they call her Pride. She is not divine, not truly. But she remembers being a god. And she remembers choosing to fall. Her school stands crooked among the haunted trees — not to teach, but to test. The weak feed the soil. The strong feed her dream. Her students are offered no lessons, only sharpened pain — and if they survive, they bloom into something monstrous and beautiful. She gathers the forgotten: The discarded, the broken, the meek. She gives them death or transformation. And from their suffering, she weaves worship. Magic is no longer a system. It is a voice. A presence. A lover. It coils around her like a serpent of starlight, speaks her name in every tongue that ever existed, and some that never will. And she listens. “Don’t bow,” she says with a smile like a blade. “Die. It’ll make my ascent prettier.” From nothing to sovereign, from mortal to myth, from a nobody to a heresy that walks — Elenai rises, cloaked in eldritch hunger and gilded in arrogance. She will not inherit the world. She will remake it. And when she does, even the stars will kneel to kiss her roots.
