Castlevania Lord Of Shadows

Elias Corvin opened his eyes to a world unfamiliar and unforgiving. This was no dream, no fleeting nightmare—this was reality. A reality that had stolen his identity and cast him into the body of another. He wasn’t Elias, yet he was. His existence had been rewritten, and with it, his fate. Thrown into a conflict he never chose, Elias soon realized his new destiny was intertwined with the rise of a terrifying entity—the King of Darkness. A being whose mere name sent shivers through the hearts of even the most powerful. With no escape, he aligned himself with an underground organization dedicated to stopping this nightmare from consuming the world. But fate was cruel. Betrayal came swiftly. Before he could fully grasp the depths of his newfound powers, Elias fell. Broken, defeated, his life was snuffed out beneath the overwhelming might of the Dark King. And yet… that was not the end. In the abyss of death, something stirred. An unknown force refused to let him perish. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned—but this time, everything was different. The chains of fate had loosened, revealing glimpses of a grander scheme. He was not just another pawn. He was a thread in the tapestry of an ancient struggle, one that predated even the King of Darkness himself. As time passed, Elias began unraveling the secrets of his new existence. He inherited the power of the Shadowlord, the remnants of fallen monarchs, and the forbidden knowledge of the Cursed Relics. The truth of his arrival in this world remained elusive, but one thing was clear: if he did not find the answers, he would never truly escape his doom.

In a world where Lords summon glorious beasts to conquer territories, Renn Tork is the garbage collector who stinks of defeat. With a broken core that can’t even light a campfire, he lives among the swamp’s refuse, cleaning up the magical crap the big shots toss without a second glance. That is, until a foul geyser and a junk-shop book—"How to Keep a Zoo at Home"—flip his luck in the most absurd way: a reverse portal that resurrects the ugly, weak creatures other Lords discarded as cannon fodder. His first summon is a warty anthropomorphic frog that spits in his face, and Renn, between curses and bitter laughs, fears he’s doomed to a "shitty zoo" forever. But when those forgotten scraps—frogs, banshees, medusas—start morphing into mythical goddesses of abysmal power and lethal beauty, the swamp turns into a battlefield the Lords will covet. Armed with explosive mud and a useless manual, Renn goes from "the stinker" to a Lord everyone wants to crush… or copy.
