His journey into the dark arts begins with a single, ancient grimoire, but the path to omnipotence is paved with blood, betrayal, and the ghosts of a war that refuses to stay buried. Will Nyx become the savior his people crave, or will his thirst for revenge consume him entirely?

To survive, he must defy the divine, outwit the zealots, and embrace the forbidden. The gods are watching. The abyss is calling. Survive. Ascend. Or be erased.

The jeers followed her like a persistent shadow. "Murderer!" the crowd screamed, their faces contorted in a grotesque parody of the adoration she once commanded. Just months ago, they had screamed her name, their voices a deafening roar as she shimmied across the stage, a beacon of light and pop perfection. Now, their cheers had morphed into venomous hisses, their eyes burning with a hatred that chilled her to the bone. Noelle clutched her lawyer's arm, his face a mask of grim determination. The cameras flashed, capturing her every move, every tremor of fear. The headlines screamed: "Pop Princess Plummets: Noelle Accused of Murder." The irony wasn't lost on her.

The whispers, the sneers, the relentless scrutiny – it was a constant assault on her senses.

They devoured every salacious detail, every whispered accusation, every tear she dared to shed. The verdict was a foregone conclusion. Guilty. Noelle watched the judge pronounce the sentence, her mind a whirlwind of disbelief and despair. Death by lethal injection. ‘At least they did not give me the electric chair’ she thought to herself in a poor attempt at humor. * Months later, a solitary figure knelt at her grave, the wind whipping at his hair. Rain lashed down, mirroring the tears that streamed down his face. "I'm sorry, Areum," he sobbed, his voice hoarse with grief. "I'm so sorry I was too late." He clutched a single, wilted rose, its petals stained crimson, a poignant reminder of the life that had been brutally extinguished. * Noelle is a bright star who has the world at her feet, she feels no guilt about being the other woman coming between a husband and his wife.

Every year, the Realm-Heart selected a cohort of prodigies from the esteemed families and cast them into an unknown plane—an ancient tradition devised to test the power, intellect, and resolve of the next generation. To triumph was to return wreathed in honor and prestige; to fail meant to perish, leaving behind only disgrace and the taint of failure upon one’s lineage. Among the most esteemed families, there once existed a prestigious lineage of blade masters—warriors whose power struck both awe and fear into the hearts of their peers. Their strength, coupled with ideals that clashed against the ruling factions, made them an obvious target. United through a unanimous fear, the other families conspired against them, orchestrating their downfall through a ruthless betrayel. Their legacy soon faded into obscurity, buried under with the rest of the great families' crimes. Asko was the last remnant of that lost lineage, a descendant of the blade masters whose very name had been erased from the annals of time. Though his abilities lay dormant, the Realm-Heart, perhaps moved by some old memories, unsealed his potential and cast him alongside the prodigies of the realm. It expected great things from him. Asko, however, had something else in mind—debts of blood still unpaid, and the family’s honor left to reclaim.

Simione needed to become a mistress. Not just another rich man's mistress, but M Conglomerate's President, Hawk Monsanto's. Truth was, the young billionaire does not interest Simione of any sort nor was his very attractive gorgeous looks concerned her. She just needed him for one thing, his fiancée Feather Han, owed her big time and that ballerina bitch had to pay with the most precious thing Simione desired, her broken heart. Hawk Monsanto rose to the top for one reason; he wanted to be the perfect match for the Han Scintillait's heiress. When he thought it was the right time to get what his heart desired, he willingly bleeds millions just to arrange a wedding engagement. However, whether it was work of fate or work of an evil seductress, he stumbled upon a rare beauty that he cannot set his eyes off. And before his money and rationality could ever warn him, Hawk had fallen into something his billions cannot buy. *** "Who are you?" Hawk managed to ask between his ragged breath. "That depends on who you want me to be," The girl uttered and for the first time, Hawk saw her upturned honey-colored eyes. Looking into it was like drowning yourself into something magical, something hypnotizing and very much irresistible that when the girl tiptoed to meet his lips, he willingly lowered his head to welcome her. And he was right there, opening his mouth for her—warm and wet—giving everything he must give and was kissing her back with equal ardor. The girl wrapped her arms around his neck, and he responded by pressing the girl's body closer, the fiancee forgotten. However, when Hawk was at the point of wanting more, the girl pulled away and Hawk opened his eyes bewildered onto her sudden retreat. He was gasping for air and would very much like to pull her back to finish the bliss she had started. But she only smiled at him, feeling very empowered by the fact that the M Conglomerate's President had already fallen into her trap. "What's the matter?" He asked, confused as to what made her stop. "Nothing," Her smile widened a little more, making her face bright and goddess-like and Hawk became more defenseless with that. "It's just that I only want you to have a free taste. The next of course comes with a big price"

Gods symbolized concepts.  Mortals prayed to Gods for the power they symbolized.  The more believers a God had, the longer they lived.  The blessed of the gods, the pope and the priests similarly received a boon in lifespan along with the powers they obtain. It was a win-win relationship. Except the Witch of Eternity, who symbolized Eternity, Immortality, Infinity.  The only everlasting existence of the universe. She had no need for believers. So when she raised the Tower of Transcendence which promised a completely new power system based on Sigils, the Gods were enraged. The Gods and the various churches couldn’t sit still as the mortals they ruled over now had no restriction to obtain extraordinary power and could threaten their endless lifespan. The Witch of Eternity fought countless Gods, fracturing the Nine Heavens before she was finally sealed. But the Tower of Transcendence had already taken root in the existence of the broken Nine Heavens; they couldn’t stop mortals from obtaining boundless powers now. Little did they know that the Witch of Eternity had adopted a child.

By some miracle, he survived the past four months on his own—attending high school, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and enduring sympathetic gazes that pained him. The only respite he found was in books, which offered him an escape and some semblance of joy. One day, while engrossed in the book 'Path of Heroes: Battle Against the End,' his life took an unexpected turn. Halfway through the story, he inexplicably found himself transmigrated into the world of Path of Heroes, inhabiting the body of Azriel Crimson—a character never mentioned in the story's first half.
