Arin Kannazuki

As the celestial realms wage endless wars, the gods have grown blind to their duty of nurturing the mortal world. The balance between Dharma and Adharma teeters on the edge of chaos, and forgotten evils rise from the abyss. Amidst this turmoil, Arin, a seemingly ordinary wanderer, stumbles upon an ancient power hidden within him—one that even the gods fear. His journey begins when fate leads him to Rishi Agnivarna, a sage of immeasurable wisdom, who recognizes the mark of destiny upon him. Tasked with traversing forbidden realms, battling cosmic beings, and retrieving mystical artifacts, Arin must prove his worth through trials set by the Saptarishis and divine guardians. Alongside warriors, seers, and tricksters—each with their own burdens—he navigates a world where deception, divine politics, and forgotten prophecies intertwine. Yet, an ominous shadow looms over existence itself—Varunasura, an ancient Asura waging war across the multiverse, seeks to unravel the very fabric of creation. As Arin slowly pieces together the truth of his origins, he realizes that his role in this cosmic struggle is far greater than he ever imagined. Will he uphold Dharma, or will the lure of forbidden power consume him? In this dark, mythological epic, where gods are flawed and mortals defy fate, the eternal cycle of creation and destruction continues. But this time, the wheel of destiny may be shattered forever.

This is story of Arin, who was transmigrated from his dying world to a strange world which was also destined to death and destruction, until Arin stepped in. This is his journey from being a simple Necromancer who had immense hate for humanity, to becoming a Dark Lord who would rein supreme and save the very Humanity he once abhorred.

Eric Langley, an eighteen-year-old boy whose parents passed away three years ago, had no known relatives and was left to fend for himself. To support himself, he worked in a bakery, using his earnings to cover his daily needs and indulge in his favorite pastime—reading chapters of the novel "Humanity's Strongest Mage," which had recently gone on hiatus. Eric had a love-hate relationship with the novel. While he was captivated by its world, he despised the Protagonist, Alex Whiteheart. Alex had it all from the start: strength, fame, money, and of course, a harem. He never faced any real challenges, effortlessly overcoming every obstacle, which made the story lack something Eric craved....... Chaos. One evening, while taking a walk with his headphones on, Eric was lost in thought. The music drowned out the world around him, and he failed to notice a car losing control and speeding toward him. The last thing he heard was a screech before everything went dark. When Eric woke up, memories flooded his mind, and he quickly realized something was wrong. He wasn't in his own world anymore; he had somehow ended up in the world of "Humanity's Strongest Mage." To his shock, he found himself in the body of Arin Vale, an insignificant character never mentioned in the novel—a true extra. Now, armed with the knowledge of future events and driven by a desire for chaos, Arin had one goal: to disrupt the smooth journey of Alex Whiteheart, the Protagonist. He was determined to introduce Chaos into the story, making it far more interesting than it ever was, and in the process, he'll also find out that there's more to his character than just being an Extra.

"The world's fate was decided long ago, when a prophecy foretold the coming of an unstoppable darkness. An ancient order, the Guardians of Light, stood against this evil and, in a final, desperate bid, managed to trap it away. But the victory was short-lived, as the Guardians fell one by one against the evil's relentless onslaught. Their leader, Arin, was the last to stand. With his final breath, he chose to split the entity into seven parts, rending its power and leaving but a husk of what it once was. Arin then sealed each fragment of the evil's power into seven sacred items, imbuing them with the essence of the Guardians. To ensure the items wouldn't fall into the wrong hands, Arin bound them with the blood of his fallen comrades, so that only their descendants could wield them. This ancient bond has protected the world for centuries, but I fear that the moment of truth is fast approaching. The seals are weakening, the fragments are stirring, and the evil will soon be whole once more. The descendants of the Guardians must now rise to reclaim their birthright and wield the sacred items against the coming darkness."

In the beginning when men began to multiply, during the era of the first men after Lilith was barnished from Eden. A demon named Azazel who was barnished by the holy gods and sent down to earth married Lilith, and they gave birth to Valyris and Arine, Valyris was a hunter and he was great upon the earth, he later married a she demon Ashtheroth, and Arine married Kein. They are the descendants of the Nephilims. Their children the Nephilims oppressed humans for ages, humans cried, prayed to the holy gods in agony waiting for a deliverer but it seems the gods shot their ears from hearing and eyes from seeing the pain of the people. The worst was yet to come, the Nephilims were immortals because they lived hundreds of years and were Giants. For ages they ruled mankind with sorcery and wisdom their parents Valyris and Arine passed to them. After a thousand years passed, the holy gods summoned Lilith and Azazel to the high court, The court of the gods, as the name implies only gods were judged, Azazel, and Lilith were chained and thrown into the great deep, a prison made for only gods, a prison of darkness, a prison of nothingness As for their children Valyris and Arine, the holy gods cursed them with an everlasting curse. Valyris was cursed with a great curse. In the words of the gods "Valyris! Valyris!! Because you hunt both man and beast, and make yourself mighty on earth, you're cursed with the curse of the beast, as you hunt shall you be hunted. So Valyris was cursed the curse of wolves, Arine, the daughter of Azazel and Lilith played the harlot and taught men and women witchcraft, to drink human blood, and eat human flesh, to cast spells and make portions. She was beautiful, as beautiful as the sun, her hair white as wool and she had the eyes of the holy gods, red and blazing like fire. She was strong but not as strong as Valyris, and all these made her exalt herself above the holy gods. She bought the hearts of men through her sorcery and made men worship her. The holy gods cursed her with the curse of darkness, they said, " Arine because you look like the sun, and you have exalted yourself above everyone, the sun is your enemy." She will smite you, in darkness you shall dwell until the day you will be called. The holy gods left Valyris and Arine to rule the earth for the pledged repentance but they lied because both ruled humans with a strong hand, and the children of the brothers of Azazel, the demons were wicked. The world was full of wickedness only the strong survive, the weak were used as slaves. Valyris and the demons didn't spare mankind. To Valyris and Arine, it is a pay back to the holy gods. They looked for a deliverer but none was found so mankind lost hope, and started eating and drinking forgetting the holy gods.

In the decadent and corrupt empire of Elaria, Arin—a trap with an alluring beauty—must navigate a treacherous court filled with nobles who feign loyalty while secretly plotting against him. Many ambitious lords and ladies outside the capital yearn to usurp the throne or carve out their own kingdoms, viewing Arin as a mere puppet in a game of power.
