[WARNING: 18+ SCENES] Azrael, a nameless soldier of an ill-fated legion, perished in a desperate battle against winged giants that heralded humanity's doom. Betrayed by fate, he had accepted his end, believing his legacy to be nothing more than bloodstained soil and forgotten heroics. But death wasn’t the end. Awakening in his eighteen-year-old body, Azrael finds himself at the start of the timeline—before the plague, before the beasts, and before the winged giants descended to destroy the world. Armed with memories of the future and the battle-hardened instincts of his former self, Azrael vows to rewrite fate and protect humanity from extinction. However, the odds are stacked against him. A mysterious system has fused with his soul, granting him cryptic insights and dangerous quests, but offering no clear path to victory. As he pieces together the origins of the winged giants and the chain of events leading to the apocalypse, he must face brutal foes—goblins, corrupted beasts, and power-hungry humans alike. Time is slipping through his fingers. With every wrong choice, Azrael risks repeating the same mistakes that doomed the world before. Can he rise above his former failures, unite scattered allies, and uncover the truth behind the giants’ arrival? Fate gave him a second chance, but changing destiny comes with a price. Will Azrael defy the inevitable, or will he fall once more as the herald of humanity’s destruction? Rebirth. Resolve. Redemption. Azrael’s battle to reshape fate has begun.

Lucivar Asarafall, a man of humble origin—failed to awaken his bloodline. Despite his good deeds, his family loathed him. In his final trial, he swore to succeed but fate intervened, he was chosen as the monthly sacrifice for his city. In a near-death experience, his bloodline awakened, an Angel. A turning point in his life, but soon he realized that he was not the Angel he thought to be. In a world where the rulers were descendants of Dracula, the Dark Prince—or Chi Long, the Inferno King, the bloodline of malevolent beings from realms beyond mortal comprehension coursed through Lucivar's veins. While others became Hybrids, Lucivar became the messenger of Evil Gods, a False Angel. "Who cares about good or evil? If I kill someone wicked, it's a win, one less rival in my way. If I kill someone noble, it is still a win—the world would've consumed them sooner or later. So why not let it happen by my hand? After all, I'm more practical. I became stronger and you get a painless death, win-win" ——— Very manipulative and unhinged MC, be warned. He's a slave to the Evil Gods. A trickster God. An arrogant God. A chaotic God.

Chapter 1 to 22 will be focused on the MC's descent to villainous but once it kicks off, you won't be disappointed!

'Why can't life be simple? I just wished to be the next baron of Grindeston. Now I have to face the world and Heavens above, only because of the damn stone acting like my heart?' Hex Darkenmane, scorned and despised by people and his fate, struggled in the dark chasms of the Endless Mountains to have one chance at becoming Blessed. Once he threaded the path of Knights, he would challenge the baron and gain everyone's respect. But things weren't as simple as he imagined. Only after gaining a Blessing and starting as a Squire did he learn the truth about the world and the Heaven governing over it. The baron's power knew no limits, Heaven wasn't as benevolent as preached, and his origin wasn't as simple as he believed. To make things worse, his master didn't seem interested in teaching. He landed in a battle between powerhouses and Heavens and was confronted with his origin. But like he never despaired in the deepest chasms of the mountains, he never considered giving up no matter how high the odds were stacked against him. "Give up? Why? Isn't it just the entire world and the Heaven around it, coming at me? Even if I stand alone, I won't be disheartened. Step by step, I will thread on my foes, going beyond Heaven itself. The road is long and lonely but don't pity me, for I don't pity myself. Toward others but especially towards myself, I am stonehearted." _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I have a discord.
