Matthew, a 25-year-old otaku, never imagined his obsession with fantasy worlds would turn into reality—until a fatal gas leak ended his life and transported him to another world. But this wasn’t the second chance he hoped for. Born as the illegitimate son of an affair, his very existence was a stain on his family’s honor, and his father relentlessly sought to kill him. Yet Matthew, now Claude, survived, again and again, driven by an unyielding will to live. Until one day he discovered his power darkness. Feared and reviled in this world, dark mages were hunted and burned alive. Knowing his gift could become his downfall, he trained in secret under Theo, his true father. When he turned sixteen, he, his mother, Dalia, and Theo planned their escape from the small town. But their attempt was thwarted by knights and clerics from the Promised Land. Though he narrowly escaped with his life, the cost was high—his family’s safety shattered. Wounded and desperate, Matthew fled to the fabled Elysian Plains, the last hope for those like him. However, just as they neared Elysium, Claude was struck down by the Saint—killed in an instant. Yet, against all odds, he lived again. The voice of the man before him confirmed it. “You are the descendant of the Lord of Calamity. I grant you this kingdom and the power to crush all who stand in your way.” The man’s lips curled into a chilling smile. “Write your own bloody history, Claude. Until we meet again, I expect you to have conquered this world.” And with that, Claude awakened to a power beyond his imagination—the legendary system he had longed for. Yet, as he soon realized, it was no system at all. [Oh? So you expect me to be like the ones in your memories?] [A system that grants you quests and guides your hand?] [Very well.] [Welcome to the Elysium of Darkness System, Lord of Calamity.] A series of commands etched themselves into his mind, each word dripping with ominous purpose. [Your first quest has been issued.] [Increase the number of dwellers in Elysium using your seed and blood. Spread your legacy by making demons and witches bear your children.]

Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored.

She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her. And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers. But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned. When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love? ****Excerpt**** “By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden. Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy? Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second. It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head. “I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.” Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head? Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?” Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.” A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral. Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.

Matthew Callahan, a Special Detective trying to become a better person for his family. He wants to suppress his twisted nature.

Hai. Aku Leonard Mahesa. Dulu, aku seorang polisi. Kini, aku hanya pria yang menghabiskan terlalu banyak malam dengan rokok separuh terbakar dan segelas kopi dingin. Seorang detektif swasta yang mencari jawaban di antara bayang-bayang kota yang tak pernah tidur. Kasus ini seharusnya sederhana—menyelidiki korupsi seorang pria yang terlalu berkuasa untuk disentuh hukum. Tapi semakin dalam aku menyelidiki, semakin aku sadar ini bukan sekadar permainan uang dan politik. Ada sesuatu yang lebih tua, lebih dalam, sesuatu yang seharusnya tetap terkubur. Sebuah sketsa kuno. Sebuah kalung ruby. Simbol-simbol yang seharusnya tak kasat mata. Dan wajah itu—samar, nyaris tak terlihat, tapi cukup untuk membuat bulu kudukku berdiri. Aku mengenalnya. Atau mungkin dulu aku mengenalnya. Tapi ingatanku dikaburkan oleh sesuatu yang lebih kuat dari waktu. Sekarang, aku dihantui oleh pertanyaan yang tak bisa kuabaikan. Ini bukan hanya tentang mereka yang ingin kuungkap. Ini juga tentang diriku sendiri. Tentang masa lalu yang berusaha kulupakan—atau yang berusaha melupakanku. Dan satu hal yang kupelajari setelah bertahun-tahun berkubang dalam kegelapan: Ketika kau mulai menggali kebenaran, bersiaplah untuk ikut terkubur bersamanya.
