Ebon Chalice

In a land constantly shrouded by crimson-hued rain, a world torn apart by clan warfare and supernatural forces, a trio of warriors bound by an ancient curse embarks on a journey of vengeance, redemption, and self-destruction. Ryoujin, the cunning, emotionless leader, leads his companions Shion and Akira, each marked by the cursed symbol of the Ebon Pact, a pact forged in the blood of the fallen and entwined with the fate of their bloodline. Decades ago, the massacre of Ryoujin's clan by the power-hungry emperor set the world on a path of sorrow, while a forbidden pact between man and spirit granted those left behind supernatural power in exchange for an inescapable cost. Now, the trio has returned, cloaked in darkness and seeking vengeance against the emperor, whose ambition for immortality threatens not only the lives of his enemies but the very fabric of existence itself. As they infiltrate the empire's power structures, their pursuit of justice grows twisted by shadow manipulation, blood magic, and elemental destruction. The three warriors are pushed beyond the limits of mortal strength, with each use of their powers severing a piece of their humanity. But vengeance is only the beginning—beyond personal revenge lies a far more dangerous truth. The emperor seeks to pierce the veil between the living and the dead, to transcend mortality and control life itself, threatening to undo the balance between realms and doom the world to an endless cycle of torment. Ryoujin’s ultimate goal transforms from simple revenge into a dark obsession to unlock the true power of the Ebon Pact. As he seeks to manipulate time and rewrite the past, Ryoujin discovers the cost of tampering with fate is far greater than he could ever imagine. With the land weeping with the souls of the lost, his quest takes a terrifying turn as he is confronted with the choice to either destroy the cycle of suffering or embrace the corruptive power to gain absolute control over destiny, ultimately deciding whether his soul—and the world itself—will be redeemed or consumed in darkness. In this epic tale of revenge, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity, Shadows in the Crimson Rain follows a trio of warriors haunted by their past, bound by an unbreakable pact, and torn between their thirst for vengeance and the haunting consequences of their powers. Will they save the world—or bring it to ruin? Only time—and the choices they make—will tell.

In a universe teeming with political intrigue, cosmic powers, and mysterious cultivation systems, Rynor Valcairn, heir to the Ebon Starline Clan, faces a destiny far darker than any of his peers could imagine.

To survive, he hides his true nature behind a carefree, reckless facade while secretly harnessing the forbidden powers of dual cultivation—light and shadow. Rynor’s journey unfolds across a series of sprawling realms and challenges that test his ambitions, rebellion against the cosmic order, and mastery over the forces of light and shadow.

In the realm of Eldoria, Prince Eldric Von Bloom shoulders the weight of his father's legacy, inheriting the revered Ebon Grimoire—a singular, ancient tome of extraordinary power. This grimoire bequeaths to Eldric an extraordinary gift: a wellspring of boundless mana, unfettered by the constraints that govern magic in this world. Eldric's quest unfurls as a solitary odyssey, a lone figure navigating depths of dungeons. The dungeons, shrouded in danger, are as much a test of Eldric's mettle as they are a source of power and growth for Travellers. Through perseverance and strategic prowess, he unearths secrets long thought lost, uncovering arcane techniques and powers hidden within the grimoire's cryptic pages. With every hard-won victory, Eldric inches closer to his ultimate goal—to fathom the full scope of his father's unmatched abilities and to master the unparalleled magic that courses through him. His infinite source Lumina, a manifestation of his boundless potential, becomes both his salvation and his crucible, shaping him into a formidable force in his own right. As the dungeons grow more perilous, and the challenges escalate, Eldric's resolve is tested. The stakes are high, for the secrets he seeks hold the key to not only his own destiny, but also the fate of Eldoria itself. Each skill book acquired, each boss vanquished, brings him closer to a revelation that could change the course of history. If in a chapter you find he is not fighting something, Eldric is most surely researching, experimenting, growing or learning. In "The Legacy of Ebon Grimoire," solitude becomes Eldric's crucible. With each step into the depths, he unearths the essence of power, unlocking a potential that redefines the boundaries of magic. In a world where dungeons guard the keys to mastery, Eldric's journey is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a prince determined to forge his own legacy, one hard-fought victory at a time.

In this night, it was difficult to close my eyes. It was hot and there was an ominous feel in the air. The visions still kept coming and I was still no closer to understanding them. The room was a heavy shade of black, sinking down like a wet cloud of mist. My eyes were hazy and heavy, waiting for sleep to fall upon it. After what seemed like hours, I finally managed to let slumber visit. I lit one last cigarette, puffing in thought, scouring the darkness before I killed it. I lied down on the bed and slumber took its toll, at least that's what I thought. I heard a shrill scream and was startled awake. The area was lit up as I took it all into focus. The room was not my own, and in front of me stood a woman, in her late twenties. Her eyes were wide and it stared into my soul, not blinking. Her head tilted to the side slowly, revealing a slit from ear to ear, reminding me of a twisted and bloody smile. She snapped her head back and I could hear a crack of bones. It took me a moment to realize she wasn't even touching the floor. She started moving towards me, reaching out, and I felt totally defenseless...

Beta Drake has seen his fair share of the supernatural. Between his Alpha's Luna being a vampire werewolf hybrid and a witch running a nightclub, he had assumed he had seen it all... Then he met Amy Lynn. Within a look, everything he and the other high ranking wolves of the Crescent pack knew was thrown out the window by this tiny but unstoppable wolf. She fought it. I watched, sensing her anguish as she fought against the Alpha's command. Amy Lynn didn't want to comply. Fear and worry washing through her eyes as she watched the Alpha cut his palm, the blood dripping down into the chalice. I cut my own hand and smiled down to her, hoping to ease some of her worry, but she seemed to just squirm a bit more. "Please don't make me do this." She begged as Alpha Flynn took her hand in his. "I don't even have a wolf..." "Then this will be a quicker death then you deserve." Alpha Flynn replied, cutting her palm with his claw and mixing the liquids. A moment later, he cleared his throat and looked down to her. "Now, DRINK." His Alpha aura flooded over her. She struggled for a while, before bearing her neck and taking the glass to her lips. Practically choking down the liquid, Amy Lynn began coughing, dropping the glass and letting it shatter on the floor below her. For a moment, I felt the pack-link tremble as she struggled with the poison running through her blood. Alpha Flynn cursed before kneeing her in the stomach, making her double over. "Waste of a good full moon." He spat as she writhed in pain on the floor, her eyes beginning to go dim. Alpha Flynn left the room then, angry and disappointed at a failed attempt. But no matter how much I tried, I could not turn and walk away from her. I sat down next to her, pulling her long black hair out of her face and resting my hand on her cheek. She was sweating and warm, but not feverish. I watched as her golden brown eyes rolled backward, the sclarea only showing. Then the link clicked, a new Bane link forming as her eyes flashed forward, crystal blue and almost white. With a deep cough, she took a breath and starred at me. ******TRIGGER WARNING****** This book contains scenes of a graphic nature, to include but not exclusive to: offensive language, gore, violence, abuse, sexual assault, and sexual interactions.
