The Path to Supremacy
[Warning: Mature audience only]
Shidaken was an ambitious man, driven not by hope, duty, or loyalty, but by the cold weight of reality.
Raised in a world that showed him only cruelty and injustice, he matured far too early. Betrayal, oppression, and the brutal truths of human nature shaped him into a man who didn’t believe in ideals, only outcomes. Seeking knowledge and power, he joined the Royal Knight Order not to serve, but to understand how power flows, who controls it, and how to eventually bend it.
For ten years, he endured the filth behind the armor: the violence, the corruption, the hypocrisy. He watched as the system he was meant to protect consumed lives without purpose or remorse. Still, he said nothing. He watched. He waited.
As ambition means nothing without power.
Then came the Lair.
Tasked with exploring a newly discovered ruin, Shidaken joined a team of royal knight into the unknown. What followed was slaughter. His entire squad was wiped out by forces far beyond their reckoning. Only Shidaken survived. Trapped within the collapsing boss room, cut off from the world, he was left to die.
But the lair didn’t kill him. It changed him.
Bathed in arcane energy, Shidaken was remade a fusion of man and vampire with mind and soul of a human and body and powers of the vampire, reborn with power neither holy nor demonic. No longer limited by the chains of mortality.
Shidaken has gained the power to match his mind. But brute force alone won’t remake the world.
Instead, he chooses a darker path of manipulation, deception, and psychological warfare. With charm, wit, and a sharpened sense of control, he begins his campaign not to conquer the world... but to rewrite it.
He is not a savior.
He is not a tyrant.
He is the answer to a question the world was too afraid to ask.
In a world teetering on collapse, can Shidaken bend fate to his will?
Or will he, like so many before him, be swallowed by the current he seeks to control?
