Tom Riddle Tribute

In the fractured world of Luminora, where the arcane hums through the veins of steel and whispers linger in forgotten corners, a boy with hair as dark as the void walks unnoticed, his silence a riddle to the world around him. Beside him, a girl with golden locks treads lightly, her smile a fragile mask for a truth that could shatter everything. She clings to dreams too vivid to be mere memories and to a longing for something lost—something never spoken. Their lives entwine, not by choice but by the pull of unseen strings, as shadows stretch across the light, and every step seems guided by forces neither can name. In a realm where hope glimmers faintly between cracks of despair, their journey unfolds—a delicate balance of joy and sorrow, of wonder and fear, as they seek to unravel the secrets binding them to the shifting edges of a world that defies understanding. What they find may reshape more than their fates, for some truths are too vast to stay buried, and some destinies too great to remain untold.

One day, I awoke as a raven in the midst of the dark, mysterious world of Norse mythology. My life as a bird was initially uneventful, until I decided to step beyond the boundaries of comfort and embark on an adventure. That was when I met Fenrir, the one who would change everything. She wasn’t just a girl with a wild charm—she was the legendary wolf prophesied to bring about the end of the world, the harbinger of Ragnarok. Yet, behind her grim destiny, I saw something different. Loneliness, rage, and a fierce determination to defy fate. A lot happened before the chains binding Fenrir finally broke. Together, we embarked on a journey fraught with danger, riddles, and an unbreakable bond. What we did went far beyond an ordinary adventure—it was the beginning of a monumental change that would shake the very foundation of Norse mythology forever. Author note: This story is more aimed at exploring Norse mythology. In addition, the author adds a number of elements of ancient Norse history and culture.

The era of human dominance on Earth had come to an end. Dragonborns, powerful beings with divine abilities, now ruled the world. Humans were relegated to slavery, forced to construct grand castles and labor on farmlands for their dragon overlords. The dragons had conquered every kingdom on earth except for one that thrived despite their oppressive reign - Eldoria. This prosperous kingdom had a dark secret behind its success and resilience against the dragonborns’ threats. Every decade, the dragonborns of Scalethorne demanded a tribute of slaves from Eldoria, and the time for the next offering was drawing near. In accordance with the kingdom's customs, King Rodric prepared slaves and a rare mineral resource to appease the dragon king. However, Rodric was horrified when the demand turned to something far more precious. His daughter, Aria.

In a dark room, a tall man stood arrogantly, like an emperor, and she was the slave girl who paid tribute to him. After a week of torture for seven days and seven nights, what awaited her seemed to be the beginning of another world. However, this was just the prelude to a more complicated story - when she was pregnant, the doctor asked coldly: "Do you want to keep the child or not?" Her heart was broken, and the whole world seemed to collapse. Four years later, the woman had become a beautiful mother, but her little boy made her heart tight. The little boy hugged her neck dissatisfiedly, and his tone was full of domineering: "Mommy is mine alone, I don't want to share it with others!" Facing this precocious child, the woman's heart was filled with complex emotions - she could only give this deep love and protection to the only baby in front of her. In the constant challenges and growth, she gradually transformed from a weak girl to a strong mother, determined to protect her most precious existence, no matter how many storms there are ahead.

[Warning: r18, smut, MC does morally questionable things] [Disclaimer: The Gods and Goddesses in the story's world have absolutely no relation to any Gods that are worshipped in the real world. The purpose they serve is also entirely different.] This is an action + kingdom-building story where the MC and his kingdom (realm) are metaphorically powered by his lustful acts. Hiro (our boy, the MC) gets transmigrated into a magical world filled with dungeons, monsters, mythical races, warring kingdoms, heroes, heroines, villains, rulers, and all manner of gods. He starts with a small amount of land that is riddled with problems and makes his way to the top. Of course, his golden finger, the Diadem of Carnal Sin has greatly altered the intended experience by adding a great deal of smut into his story. This novel has great plot. This novel has great *plot*. Yes, I know I wrote that twice. No, it was not a mistake. NTR - MC NTRs others, never gets NTRed himself. Yuri - No P.S - Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, adding this to library, reviews, comments, paragraph comments - all these things help immensely and are greatly appreciated. Thanks and Enjoy! :)
