Darius Zackly

Ahh, hello. Umm… I should introduce myself first. My name is Darius Ren. I celebrated my 17th birthday a few months ago. What else? I’m not a genius. I’m not strong. I’m not a prodigy. I’m not some poor underdog. I’m not dumb, either. And I’m not… whatever else you might want to add. It would probably fit. Wait… I am a boy. I know that much. I forgot to mention—I awakened my Soul Sea a month before my 17th birthday. I was excited, thrilled, overjoyed. I grew up admiring mages who fought to protect others—the usual childhood superhero fantasy. Even though I looked up to them, I never actually considered becoming one. Okay, maybe I did want to be like them. But… I can’t. You’ll see why. After awakening, I immediately learned three Runes—Fireball, Water Blade, and Telekinesis. Without a second thought, I imprinted them in my Soul Sea. I used them until I ran out of mana. As soon as it replenished, I started using them again. Over and over. Then, I noticed something strange. Usually, imprints fade after eight to ten uses, but I had cast my spells over twenty times, and they still hadn’t disappeared. At first, I was overjoyed—I didn’t have to worry about reimprinting Runes! But then, reality hit me. Mages have limited Rune slots. F-Rank mages can only imprint three Runes at a time. Normally, they can replace old ones when they fade, but mine never disappear. I’m stuck with these three Runes for life. I held on to some hope that they’d eventually vanish. But after a month of spamming Telekinesis? Still there. No need to worry—I can gain more Rune slots. Just kill some dangerous beasts and absorb their cores. Haven’t you read fantasy before? Even if I reach M-Rank—the highest rank known to mankind—I’ll only have seventy-eight Runes. And every single one will be permanent. I’m cooked. So… what should I do? No clue. Let’s see what happens. …Maybe I should try to surpass M-Rank. Don’t overestimate yourself, you weak-ass idiot. Hey… if I’m a weak-ass idiot, doesn’t that mean you are too? Because, you know… you are me. Yeah, an idiot who talks to himself. And still an idiot, even inside his own mind. I should stop thinking. I’m in the middle of a fight. No one’s telling you to stop. Wait… who even has this much free time? If you do, just go find a job, you idiot. Maybe I overthink things. Oh, now you have the guts to say ‘maybe’. You’re a brave idiot. Stop wasting time, moron. You have important things to do. Oh really? I know what my important things are. Stop overthinking. Just surpass M-Rank and get some cool purple aura already. …Wait. Did I just cheer myself up? If you don’t like it, just add an insult afterward, you baka. Instead of arguing with myself, I should have talked to someone in my class. A girl, maybe—because I am a boy. I could have made friends. Maybe even gotten a girlfriend. Yeah, yeah. Get your ass kicked by that girl’s boyfriend. Hey, there are girls without boyfriends, dumbass. I can find a girl without a boyfriend. So, you want a girl’s shoes printed on your face? Nice fetish. To sum it up, my goal is to surpass M-Rank. To do that, I need to absorb beast cores. So, I have to hunt beasts. I’ll start with F-Rank beasts and work my way up as I gain new Rune slots. I need to choose Runes that will be useful for my entire life. I should focus on cultivating, too. There’s no point in getting new Runes if I don’t have enough mana to cast them. I have to think long-term. Like a true businessman. Not a scammer—scammers don’t plan for the long term. You don’t need to think like a scammer. You are a scammer. Oh yeah? And you’re a saint, enlightening the world with your wisdom? Ignoring him. So, bye... bye... see you later. Wait, I forgot to mention one more thing—I know how to swing a sword. I spar with my mother whenever she has free time. That might be helpful. I’m not completely hopeless. Maybe.

After all, I've given you things even the royal family can't have. Isn't that right, my dear healer?" Xion gulped when Darius's thumb brushed his lower lip as a chilling smirk remained on his handsome face. "I-I think I should leave, Your Grace. I've overstayed my welcome..." The room grew cold, and struggling Xion shivered. Darius's green eyes dimmed before lighting up with a dangerous glint. Xion felt a pit growing in his stomach when he saw the deranged archduke smile.

My daddy. And if I heard correctly the first time, the other man had mentioned something about 'daughter' and 'grown woman'. Shit! What's going on? This must be Darius Hunter! And how do they know about my existence!? Oh no! My father! Have they taken him? Have they hurt him? "Darius... Hunter?" I stutter in sheer terror, the dangerous man tensing as I mention his name. "You know my name. I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed," Darius chuckles, amusement seeping into his tone. "Errrm... I... Where's my father...?" My demand sounds more like a plea, my voice shuddering in painful anticipation. "Waiting for you at my place. He said we should come get you. I didn't expect you to be old enough to beat up my man.

In the Slonia Empire Mages reigned supreme. They are nobles who monopolized and controlled their knowledge and wisdom in the world where Arcane Energy riddled every nook and cranny from easily going out or leaked to the commoners and peasants. Darius, an orphan from the most remote village in the Northean Kingdom, had the highest Magic Aptitude. But of course, he was oblivious to this fact since surviving the all-year-long winter was harsh enough for him, let alone learning the magic that would bring nothing to the dining table for his little brothers and sisters in the orphanage. Until one day he met with an old man who gave him the… Arcanium System which would change his fate and the entire world altogether. ==== [Checking connection with the host.] [Synchronizing Host’s information, please wait…] [Updating Host’s information] [Update completed] [Downloading the universe’s data] [Download completed] [The Arcanium System has been installed successfully!] [System: All green] [Arcanium System: Linked] [Good morning, Master Darius] ==== “Nobles?

Betrayed. Executed. Forgotten. Emilia Sylvester, the once-feared vampire queen, was dethroned by her husband, King Darius Lysander, for his sweet and seemingly innocent half-blood mistress after the victorious war. Locked in a dungeon for fifty years with her legs cut off, Emilia thought death would be her only release. But when she opens her eyes after the brutal execution, she’s back at that grand ball, the very night her husband demanded a divorce to marry the woman who ruined her. “Because of your callous attitude, our marriage is over. I intend to take Rosalia as my bride.” Divorce was rare in vampire society, especially among the royal bloodlines. For a prince to divorce his wife and take a hybrid vampire, a half-blood, as his queen? It was scandal of the highest order. But Emilia was no longer his obedient pawn. “If that is your will, my prince,” she said, her voice calm and composed, “then who am I to stand in your way?” This time, Emilia has no intention of fighting for a war that only brought her pain. Let the half-blood Rosalia and Darius deal with the backstabbing court and the weight of the vampire kind on the brink of chaos. Emilia has better plans. She’s done playing by anyone else’s rules. Walking away from the vampires and into the territory of the werewolves, Emilia discovers she’s far from powerless. As a former peace negotiator, she knows how to handle wolves, especially the dangerous alphas, but she never expected them to be so eager to handle her. This time, she won’t choose love anymore. Once is enough.
