Clawmark Rune Bloodborne

[Warning: Mature Content R-18] In a medieval world where magic is both coveted and feared, power comes with a cost. Centuries ago, a witch made a pact with a devil, trading her soul’s peace for untold magical abilities—and an unquenchable lust that haunts every mage in her lineage. Known as “soul-lust,” this curse compels each mage to crave sex, growing stronger and more powerful with each encounter. Over generations, the origin of magic was lost, but the curse of lust remains. Six young mages—Liana, Caelum, Elara, Rune, Mira, and Finnian—enter an elite academy, each hoping to become the most powerful mage of their time. But as they navigate rivalries, forbidden spells, and dark secrets within the academy, they’re forced to confront the soul-lust that stirs within them. Desire and ambition intertwine, driving each character to seek strength at the risk of losing themselves to the curse’s insatiable hunger. Bound by destiny and cursed by lust, these six must decide whether to embrace their powers fully, risking their souls, or find a way to break free from the darkness that threatens to consume them all. Their journey to the top will reveal buried truths about the origins of magic, forcing them to choose between power, loyalty, and the freedom of their own wills.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Their expressions ranged from astonishment to sheer terror. 'Monster', everyone thought in their hearts. Looking at the faces of disbelief in front of him, Kael thought helplessly, 'It didn’t even take a second.'
