In a kingdom where bloodlines dictate power, Prince Kaelen Varenthis was destined to rule, but fate has other plans. Born into a long line of kings, Kaelen is the heir to a throne embroiled in political turmoil and bloodshed. His family has long wielded the power of Form Shifting—a mystical ability to transform one's body and essence into powerful beasts, elemental forces, and even abstract concepts like time and shadow. However, Kaelen's Form Shifting abilities far exceed those of anyone in the kingdom, even his ancestors. At the height of his coming-of-age ceremony, a deadly rival faction orchestrates the elimination of his siblings, thrusting Kaelen into the heart of a ruthless battle for the throne. With his kingdom divided and enemies lurking in every corner, Kaelen must master the full extent of his powers and reshape not only his own destiny but that of the entire kingdom. The Form Shifting system is a complex and taxing art—each form requires mental strength, physical endurance, and spiritual fortitude. As Kaelen learns to harness his abilities, he discovers that he can alter not only his own form but also the infrastructure of his kingdom—crafting cities, technologies, and even bending nature itself to his will. But with great power comes even greater challenges. The more versatile the form, the greater the toll it takes on his body and soul. As Kaelen works to reunite the fractured kingdom, he must navigate political intrigue, forge powerful alliances, and defend his people from both external invasions and internal betrayals. With every step, he learns that true power is not just in shifting forms but in forging a vision of the future—a vision that can unite the fractured factions and build a new era of prosperity. But Kaelen's rise will not be without sacrifice. To conquer the shifting tides of politics, master his powers, and build a legacy, he must decide how much of himself he's willing to lose. Will he overcome the limitations of his Form Shifting abilities, or will the infinite power that courses through him be his undoing?

A good story with interesting characters and a mature, dominant, uncompromising MC. The system will be relatively light, meaning it won't be all-powerful, and the MC won't get bullied by it. If you enjoy a slightly overpowered villain MC using his unscrupulous methods to work towards a somewhat positive goal while having plenty of sex along the way, you'll enjoy this novel. I intend for Earth to be somewhat of a cyberpunk style, but that won't be the focus. Mainly because the novel involves multiple planets, and so far, I have only planned for Earth to be this way. I will probably do some Netori (meaning MC steals other people's women), but absolutely no Netorare. No Yuri, either. (By which I mean no intimate interactions between harem members without the MC present, but it might happen at his direction and with his presence.) I'll offer a bonus chapter for every review, at least for a little while. Of course, only one per person; bad reviews still count, but they should consist of constructive criticism.
