Lyre Orpheus

Heir of Primordial Darkness & The Shadow Realm

Warning: This story isn’t for the faint of heart. The main character is shameless, crude, and unapologetically ruthless. If you want a clean-cut hero who plays by the rules, this isn’t your tale. But if you crave raw power, dark humor, and the rise of a forgotten legacy—buckle up. Blake Orpheus never knew who he truly was. Raised in hardship and instinct, he had no idea his bloodline was anything but ordinary—until the truth was ripped from the shadows. He is the son of Erebos, the Primordial God of Darkness. That revelation wasn’t salvation. It was a curse. In a world ruled by Great Houses, divine cultivators, and ancient politics, Blake becomes a target. His ancestral House—Orpheus—was erased from history by those who feared its power. But Blake carries that legacy, and the darkness within him is awakening. Thrown into a deadly game, Blake must navigate a society where power defines worth and survival is never guaranteed. Cultivators rise through brutal combat, mastery of ancient techniques, and divine inheritance. But within this world, betrayal is currency, and legacy is a double-edged sword. Blake’s journey isn’t a solo one. The sealing of the Shadow Realm—the Orpheus homeland—scattered his people across the realms. Some formed secret Great Houses, fighting to survive while hunted by enemies thirsty for their fall. Together with these allies, Blake begins his climb—not for glory, but to unseal his shattered homeworld, reclaim his throne, and reunite with his family. But every step forward is met with resistance. Rivals want him dead. Ancient forces seek to erase his bloodline. And power, once gained, is never without consequence. To survive, Blake must embrace his dark heritage, grow stronger, smarter, and more ruthless than those who hunt him. He fights dirty. He talks back. He’s fiercely loyal and utterly unrelenting. This isn’t a tale of saints. It’s the rise of a shadow-born legend who will burn the world down before he bows to it. The world tried to forget the name Orpheus. Blake will make them remember.

Tyrant's Obsession With The Heiress

Excerpt: “Wife?” Lady Karina repeated, almost shouting as if she'd misheard him. “I would not marry you even if you were the last man in this world,” she remarked with sweet venom, a poison Van Merikh would gladly drink. “You are a murderer and a thief. I do not want you!” “But I want you,” Van Merikh stated firmly, his dual-coloured gaze leaving no room for argument. “And that is where this conversation shall end, Lady.” Van Merikh threw open the door and practically dragged her to the base of the stairs that led to the upper floors. When she refused to mount the steps, he easily lifted her onto the first step and spanked her soundly on the bottom. “Go to your chambers,” he ordered softly. “This is not over,” Lady Karina growled. “I will fight you with the last breath in my body against this…this madness.” “Go, or you shall feel my hand on your backside again.” ************** Magic as the world of Ethuaria knew it came from the distinct markings specific to each bloodline and nation that a person may or may not have been born with. It would appear at birth on different parts of the child’s body, bringing about unique abilities passed down in their bloodline from mother to child. And for eighteen-year-old Lady Karina Hyacinth Reinhardt, life had always been one of comfort and peace with the secret abilities of her bloodline. As the beloved, yet sheltered, heiress of Moonveil Keep on the borders of the Kingdom of Caelthywn, she spent her days managing her father’s lands and overseeing the affairs of their people, never knowing true hardship. That was until Orpheus Van Merikh, the most feared warlord across the lands, invaded her home and seized it for his claims. Known as the devil himself, Van Merikh does not simply claim Moonveil for its riches, but for the rumoured beasts the Reinhardt bloodline conceals—most of all the White Phoenix, whose ashes, when reborn, are said to repel evil and break curses. But when Van Merikh leaves for yet another conquest, conspiracies arise—and all hell breaks loose when the beast returns to find his angel gone. ****** Enemies to lovers Villainous and possessive ML Fiery spirited FL Dark Romance

“Whisper Of The Veil”

A strong hum of energy and excitement could be felt. A festive celebration was held once every ten years called KIA in memory of their goddess, who was given the ultimate power, which was used in protecting and fighting for her people in her prime On this day, Necromancers were forbidden to use their powers for even the slightest of things. Everything was to be done manually without the consequence of going against it, which was a painful death. People were talking, flirting, kissing, and dancing to the Hospiko spilling out from the violoncello, harp, and lyre. The synergies made the tone expertly, and the athletes produced sweet melodies by performing on the aulos. The KIA was a gathering that consisted of loads of food which was packed at respective places, Ninos were running around and the teenagers were busy eyeballing one another Visitors get cornered by the papou, who welcomes them by presenting the person with a strip of cotton called "Hida.” They treated the visitors with complete kindness, respect, and generosity. Hog roast grilling and cooking were slowly done under the moonlight of the midnight moon Suddenly, the galloping and whining of horses could be heard, and dust rose from the surface, disrupting the joyous celebration. The chariot of horses( Triga and Quadriga) was driven by the charioteers and swordsmen in armor, who were on the horses while holding their swords high above their head The moon reflected through the swords, and shiny shadows glittered on the ground. Swinging and hitting of swords sounded in the once joyous and serene atmosphere “Protect the land of our birth.” Someone shouted in the large crowd The firing of poisonous arrows sent his victims to a slow death. The smell of burning grass huts, slitting of throats with the aid of their swords, axes, and other killing weapons CRises of children and shouts of women who were trying to protect and hide their children could be heard shouts of men and youth defending their territory from the sudden turns of events and unprepared war shook the earth; blood split everywhere and flowed like a river “KYLIA Run! RUN!! RUN!!! And don't turn back and never let them get to you!” Leah shouted, trying to push her daughter away as she fought with one of the men but her daughter kept holding onto her as she also tried to help her mother
