Downright Darius

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

"Take her," the dangerous man orders casually, like I'm the most boring little human he's ever encountered in his life. "I said stay the fuck away!" I yell at him this time, causing him to tilt his head in amusement. "A little girl like you shouldn't be swearing at your elders. It's bad habit. Your daddy should have taught you better." Hold on. 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. I am definitely impressed, and your value, my dear, has just gone up." --------------------------- Allison, a confined young woman who finds solace in books and writing, is thrust into a world of danger and deceit when her father, Frank, a reformed gambler turned priest, sells her to Darius Hunter, the infamous "Devil of California," to settle an old debt. Darius tries everything possible to break Allison for his pleasure, promising himself not to touch her innocence. Yet, as Allison navigates the treacherous waters of her new life, she discovers hidden strengths, forms unexpected bonds, and unravels the dark secrets of her family’s past. Amidst turmoil and passion, Allison and Darius find themselves entangled in a powerful and transformative love story, punctuated by shocking twists and turns.

Xion ends up saving Darius Rael Darkhelm, the feared Archduke of the North, notorious for his ruthless and deranged nature. The silly Xion tried to run away but... Xion's heart thumped loudly as Darius effortlessly pinned his wrists using only one hand. "I've heard you tried to run away." Darius gently caressed Xion's pale cheek, "That must be a lie... 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. Darius never smiled. And whenever he did, it only meant trouble. "You're right," Darius said calmly. "So, let's get married." Xion "...!!!!"

In the kingdom of Azmoria, where noble blood dictates power and destiny, Aldric is nothing—an orphan abandoned at St. Ardin’s Haven, a nameless street rat fighting for survival in the ruthless city of Blackreach.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself face to face with Darius Thorne, the main character of [Arcanus Academy], who was looking at me with disdain. Many questions raced through my mind. What is happening? Is this a dream? Why won't he stop yelling? Am I dead? Does he have something stuck in his teeth? Have I somehow entered the world of my favorite game, like in those Web Novels I read so often? I opened my mouth, about to ask one of the many questions that had come to mind upon realizing the huge mess I was in. What I was about to say would be my first words in this new world. I had to be careful; the slightest mistake could worsen my current situation, which, judging by how things looked, didn’t seem good at all. "Can you get that thing out of your teeth? It's distracting me." Everyone nearby fell silent and stared at me until a burst of laughter erupted. Darius covered his mouth, clearly embarrassed. 'Damn, I already messed it up.' ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ ♠ ♣ - English is not my native language

A World of Bonds and Battles In this world, a person’s strength isn’t just their own—it’s shared with their familiar, a mystical creature that becomes both a companion and a source of power. Every familiar is unique, but they all fall into five tiers based on their abilities and potential: 1. Ember Tier – The most common familiars, good for learning but limited in strength. 2. Veil Tier – More specialized and adaptable, strong enough to give their summoners an edge. 3. Dominion Tier – Rare familiars that can change the course of a battle. 4. Apex Tier – Legendary creatures with stories behind them, the kind that make people stop and stare. 5. Ascendant Tier – Beyond legends—these are familiars that defy history itself, but they don’t start that way. They have to evolve. How Familiars Grow Familiars aren’t just stuck the way they are. They can evolve, but it’s not easy. Some have to survive near-death experiences, others need rare energy sources, and some have to merge with another familiar. Every evolution is different, but for students in training, there’s a limit—no one should have anything stronger than Veil Tier during their assessments. Kyle Corvayn & Boneclaw – A Pact with Death Kyle wasn’t supposed to come back from that fire. But he did. And when he did, he wasn’t alone. Boneclaw, a rare and feared Apex-Tier familiar, was now bound to him. Its presence is unsettling—cold air follows it, shadows shift when it moves, and it doesn’t quite belong in the world the way normal familiars do. Unlike most creatures, Boneclaw doesn’t evolve in a straightforward way. It absorbs power through battle, taking on traits from its deadliest versions—Wraithclaw, Graveclaw, Bloodclaw, Echoclaw, and Famineclaw—until it reaches its final form. But there’s a cost. The more Kyle grows, the more his abilities start shifting toward something darker, something unnatural. Life at the Military Academy Kyle’s not the only one with something to prove. The academy is full of students trying to rise through the ranks, each with their own familiars and ambitions: Darius Holt, a Level 5 student with the lightning-fast Stormfang Panther, is Kyle’s main rival. Their clashes push both of them to their limits. Vivian Marchand bets on Kyle’s abilities, throwing him into a high-stakes sparring match. Jace Torren, Kyle’s roommate, hides his own secrets—like a rare familiar he spent everything to summon. Instructor Vaughn has seen something in the security footage. He doesn’t know what Boneclaw is, but he’s watching. An investigator at the academy is digging deeper, sensing that Kyle is at the center of something unusual. The Phoenix Order & The Coming War Outside the academy, tension is rising. The Phoenix Order, a rebel group that despises the familiar system and the power it upholds, is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A war is coming, likely sparked by a broken peace treaty, and when it does, everything the academy stands for will be tested. Kyle was never meant to be part of this fight. But with Boneclaw by his side, he may not have a choice. His strength is growing, his mana is changing, and the world is watching. The only question is—will he control his power, or will it control him?

Selene thought she had found her forever when she became the Luna of the Moonveil Pack. But the moment Alpha Darius discovered she carried another man’s child, he shattered her world. Rejected. Branded a traitor. Cast out to die. With nowhere to go and enemies hunting her, Selene stumbles into the forbidden lands of Shadowcrest, the domain of a ruthless Alpha whispered about in fear. Killian is a mystery, a man with golden eyes that see too much and a presence that commands obedience. What she doesn’t know? He is more than an Alpha. He is the exiled Lycan King, a predator hiding among wolves. But Selene is no ordinary rogue. The child she carries holds a dangerous secret, a prophecy that could shift the balance of power in the werewolf world. And there are those who will stop at nothing to claim it. As war looms, Killian offers her protection, but at a cost. Strength. Loyalty. Obedience. She must train, fight, and prove herself to a pack that does not trust her. But the more time she spends with the fierce and enigmatic Alpha, the more fate pulls them together. Yet, trust is a luxury neither can afford. Because in a world where mates betray and monsters wear crowns, love is the most dangerous risk of all. Will Selene rise from the ashes of her past? Or will her enemies tear her apart before she can claim her destiny?

"A first time huh?" Darius' voice echoes into my ears. "You have two months to make me fall for you. But if you fail, I'll kill your best friend Rosemary, her mate, and every member of your pack."

Synopsis: The Sword of Blood Once, the five kingdoms were united under the reign of King Zain, whose sword, The Sword of Blood, was a symbol of immense power. But after his death, the sword became a mystery, and the kingdoms plunged into chaos. Zain’s wife and eldest daughter were killed, but his youngest son, Khael, survived. Khael disappeared, never to be seen again. Now, the question remains: Who is the rightful heir to the Sword of Blood? Can anyone claim it, or will its power only bring destruction? Five Kingdoms, One Sword, Endless War Dravania: Prince V, the illegitimate son of King Aldric, seeks to prove his worth and claim his place in the royal family, despite being rejected.

The Search for the Sword An unknown girl, Arena, embarks on a mission to find an ancient temple, armed with a map that leads to The Sword of Blood. Along the way, she crosses paths with Prince V, a powerful but self-serving warrior. But are Arena and V on the same side, or do they have different agendas? The Bloodline Secret Is Khael still alive? Is Prince V’s true bloodline also shrouded in mystery? And the biggest question—why did King Zain say on his deathbed: “This sword should never fall into anyone's hands.” The Final Battle The five kingdoms will clash. Illusions will unravel. Kingdoms will fall. And the victor—will they be able to wield the power of the Sword of Blood? Or will it lead to a new era of destruction?
