Sanji Oath

In a realm where legends breathe and the dead walk, the murim world exists on the knife’s edge of honor and savagery. Here, warriors aren’t just born but forged through relentless trials, wielding powers that reflect the very spirit within them. Ancient clans, bound by intricate codes and ancient feuds, vie for dominance, each cultivating their own martial secrets, whispered only through generations or carved into scrolls soaked in the blood of those who sought them. This land, cloaked in myth and shrouded in mystery, is one of harsh beauty, a tapestry of vast mountain ranges, haunted forests, and ruined temples where ghosts of fallen warriors linger. Among the wanderers, ronin, and hidden assassins, a delicate balance holds; it is a peace that trembles under the weight of long-held grudges, greed, and the thirst for power. Through silent pathways and forgotten villages, those who dare to walk alone, like Ebon, move as phantoms, forging their paths beyond the constraints of clan loyalty or kinship. These wanderers are nameless shadows, bound only to their own purpose and haunted by the spirits of their past. Yet, for all their independence, even they are touched by the unseen hand of the murim’s brutal politics and mystical forces. In this world of veiled faces, blood oaths, and silent vendettas, every step echoes with danger, and every encounter holds the potential to turn friend to foe. Those who dare to follow this path walk a line between life and legend, their fates lost in the whispers of the ancient and unyielding murim.

Now stuck in the body of the crippled illegitimate ninth prince, the First Demon Lord had one goal – to regain his power and make this crippled body the next emperor of this continent. And in his goal, nothing shall remain forbidden. There are no boundaries, and human greed is his bridge. He, who the god once damned, shall rise again to regain control of the human race and take his place at the top of the human race once more. The dawn of the Damned race should come soon.

The Hollowing came like a thief in the dead of the night - silent, merciless, and absolute. It was an event that permanently scarred humanity’s history, stealing along all of the possibility, wonder and hope that this world once had - for it was the year that the spark of wonder had been wretched from existence, the year that magic had died. But many soon came to realise that the Hollowing was not the end but the beginning. Cracks opened around the world, bringing about the descent of the Dark fog, and along with it, a dread unbound by mortal thought which devoured the weak and hunted those who still clung too closely to the memory of magic. Year 3999. 1800 years after the Hollowing, humanity has been pushed to live inside the walls of Domes: monolithic walls, encasing gargantuan swaths of land protected by an ancient being from the era of magic, the Acacia. Yet, the peace that it brought was like a festering wound, throbbing with unresolved mysteries and bringing about feelings of hatred and fear, of that day 1800 years ago when one decided to break an oath. As tensions beneath the surface simmer and an unknown group threatens to sink humanity down once and for all, a meeting that would change the fate of a young boy - one that had the potential to shake both sides, one that would bring about change to the whole continent of Paradoxia - was about to take place. The meeting of disciple and master. It was at that moment that the goddess of fate began to spin her wheel to weave tales for this forgotten world once more.

In the world of Eryndor, a magical realm filled with countless creatures, powerful beings, and ancient ruins, everyone is born with a System—a personal magical interface that determines their destiny. Most are granted systems that focus on personal power, like swordsmanship, elemental control, or healing. But some rare individuals are chosen by a unique system: Guardian. The protagonist, Kael, is one such individual, born with a Guardian System, an ancient and mysterious power. Unlike other systems, the Guardian System doesn’t grant Kael direct magical abilities; instead, it allows him to summon powerful spirits, known as Guardians, that he must protect and nurture. Each Guardian is a being of immense power, capable of defending entire cities or bringing about great destruction. Kael’s job as a Guardian is not only to command these spirits in battle but to ensure they are cared for, forming a bond that strengthens both him and his Guardians. However, there’s a catch: each Guardian is bound to Kael’s life force. If a Guardian dies, so does he. The more powerful the Guardian, the higher the risk to his own life. As Kael matures, he must juggle the pressures of being a protector, leading expeditions to battle monsters, and uncovering the truth behind the mysterious origins of the Guardian System. Along the way, he builds his team of diverse Guardians—each with their own personalities, abilities, and backstories—while unraveling a conspiracy that threatens not only his life but the entire structure of the System that governs his world.

A bond to ensure peace in Black territory and White Clans stop more bloodshed in between two big clans on this earth, B Clans and the last W Clans feud that clashes more than 2000 years.
