But not all who rise from the depths seek salvation. Some carry the darkness with them. In the shadows of Orinith, a storm is coming. And when it breaks, nothing will remain the same.

For five hundred years, he remained in the darkness. Raviel, the demon bound to the Vermillion family, had known nothing but chains and silence for centuries. Deep beneath the grand castle, locked away in an underground cave, he sat motionless inside an enormous iron cage, his wrists and ankles shackled by ancient, glowing runes. The magic pulsed with a soft, eerie light, a reminder of his eternal servitude. The air was damp, thick with the scent of old stone and forgotten power. Time had long lost its meaning to him. He had witnessed generations of Vermillions rise and fall—greedy, selfish, and cruel. None had dared to free him, nor had any of them been worthy of his protection. But then, something changed. Far above, within the golden halls of the Vermillion estate, a child was born—the heir of the family. And with his first cry, the chains around Raviel's wrists shuddered. A sharp crack echoed through the cave as one of the magical seals flickered for the first time in centuries. The demon's crimson eyes slowly opened. He exhaled, his breath a whisper against the cold air. "So… the heir has finally arrived." His lips curled into a slow, dark smile. The silence of five hundred years was about to be broken. --- The grand Vermillion estate stretched across acres of land, surrounded by towering walls and an air of untouchable wealth. But within those walls, past the marble halls and golden chandeliers, there was a place untouched by power struggles and whispered schemes—the secret garden. A small boy, no older than four, ran barefoot across the soft grass, his silver-white hair shining under the golden sun. Nao Vermillion, the only true heir of the Vermillion family, giggled as he chased after a butterfly, his tiny hands reaching for the delicate creature. "Careful, young master," a gentle voice called out. Amara, the aging housemaid, watched over him from a distance. She was the only one in the household who truly cared for the child—not as an heir, but as a boy who deserved warmth. Nao turned to her, his icy blue eyes filled with innocence. "Ama! Look!" He pointed excitedly as the butterfly landed on a white rose. Amara smiled, stepping closer. "Butterflies are delicate, my dear. Just like you." Nao pouted, puffing out his small cheeks. "I'm not delicate!" He stomped his tiny foot, making Amara chuckle. "You are," she teased. "But one day, you will grow into a strong young man." Nao didn't understand her words yet. All he knew was that the garden was his favorite place—a hidden world where he was just a boy, not an heir. But deep beneath the castle, locked away in the dark, a pair of crimson eyes had already opened, waiting for the day their paths would cross...

That day, he died thirty times. Life had always been hard, but poverty was nothing compared to being jumped by gods and angels. He thought he knew how messed up the world was, Nobles who think they’re above Gods, The dark Seas which no one has ventured, Churches which are more of a business than a Church, Constant bombings and attacks in the city by enemy nations, But— Magic. Angels. Devils. Gods. Demon Lords. Manabeasts. Aether— I don’t want to get corrupted and become a mindless monster. And this Johan guy is really excited about this? Leor finds himself entangled with thousands of years old conspiracies of Churches and secret organizations—While he slowly develops his Aether core—becoming a Numina, all thanks to the help of a ‘Benevolent’ God. “I’ll save you, even if it means losing myself.” AN: This is a dark fantasy with heavy mystery, psychological depth, and high stakes.

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?

NO RAPE! MATURE CONTENT/ VIOLENCE BUT NOTHING TOO GORY FOR READERS TO HANDLE. Lilith was a rebellious child while growing up and didn’t have a belief in marriage as she saw it as a fancy prison. She was adopted by Lycan foster parents who saw her as nothing more than a burden. Because she was human, they repeatedly sold her to men seeking mistresses, but each time, she was returned after a single night. At last, she thought she had found an escape, falling for a man who promised her freedom. But instead of a life of love and freedom, she awoke in chains, barely clothed, imprisoned in a room in the pack house of the Alpha Lycan of the Purple Phoenix Pack. Suddenly a voice spoke, “So, you have awoken?” Slithering down her spine like ice water. Never before had mere words unsettled her so, but this one did. It was laced with menace, whispering of danger…of death. As she shifted, pain lashed through her body, sharp and stinging. She winced, squeezing her eyes shut against the agony, only to realize her situation. She was bound, barely clothed, and trapped. How did this happen? She had been on her way to her husband’s house and…oh, no. He had betrayed her! “Who are you?” She demanded, forcing herself to swallow her fear, to summon courage despite the quiver in her voice. She strained to see the source of the voice, but the oppressive darkness yielded nothing. Frustration flared within her. “Humans…” The word dripped with disdain and disgust. “Always asking unnecessary questions.” His hatred was palpable, seething. One wrong word, and he would not hesitate to end her. “Whip her.” Lycans were cursed beasts who rarely had mates. After a hundred years of waiting, the Alpha Lycan was commanded by the gods to take a virgin human bride to conceive an heir. But he despised humans and had no desire to rule with one by his side. So he agreed; he would mate with her, but once she bore his child, she would be discarded. Before she could part her lips to talk, the order was given. The lash struck her back, sharp and searing, and she cried out in agony. … Days passed. The whipping continued, lasting for thirty minutes each day but Alpha Zayd never returned. “Kill her. She is of no use.” He ordered, but instead of despair, something unexpected flared within her…hope. “I will be your slave,” she whispered, forcing the words out. “And I will offer my body only to you, Alpha Zayd.” He stilled. His golden gaze flickered toward her, considering. “Take her to my bed,” he ordered. Then, just as swiftly as he had appeared, he was gone. Determined, Lilith agreed to be his slave but only to find a way to escape and make everyone pay.
