Devouring The Devoted

The Price of Devotion - A Dark Marriage Between a Vampire and a Human

WARNING: DARK ROMANCE, MATURE The judge's lips curved into a thin, wicked smile as her gaze locked onto Asher. She stepped forward, her black lace gown trailing behind her like a dark, flowing shadow. Beneath the mask that obscured her eyes, something cold and knowing gleamed—a predator sizing up its prey. Asher’s pulse quickened. He hadn’t expected this. No one had. From his seat, Mr. Evergland studied the scene with careful detachment, one hand resting casually on the arm of his throne-like chair. The room was tense, a ripple of hushed murmurs passing through the vampire assembly. Some watched with fascination. Others with growing unease. A few even looked outright afraid. The judge’s voice shattered the silence, calm but laced with a chilling authority. "You’ve made your choice," she said, each word deliberate. "You want to challenge this union, to save your sister... but you offer yourself as the prize. Very well. Let’s make it official." Asher froze, his breath caught in his chest. Official. The word settled over him like an iron weight, suffocating the air in the room. He had walked into this with no plan, no backup—but now it was too late to back down. The judge raised her hand, and the crowd fell into stunned silence. Her voice rang out again, carrying a finality that reverberated through the cold marble walls. "Tonight, Asher of the Kapella family," she declared, her tone unwavering, "you will not only interrupt our ceremony—you will replace it. We will honor the bond you’ve offered, and in doing so, I will bind you to me." A collective gasp swept through the room. Eyes flicked nervously between Asher and the judge. He could feel the weight of every gaze, but his own mind was spinning. This can’t be happening. This wasn’t part of the plan. "What do you mean?" he stammered, panic creeping into his voice. He had thought he was making a stand, but now it felt like the ground was slipping out from under him. "I... I didn’t mean—" The judge’s smile deepened, cruel and sharp. She tilted her head, as if savoring his discomfort. "Did you really think there would be no consequences?" she asked, her voice silk over steel. "You’ve disrupted our world, Asher. You’ve made your offer, and now... you’ll fulfill it. In the most fitting way." ______ In the desolate world of Rakan, the Evergland Clan reigns supreme as the most powerful royal vampire family. In a bid to secure an alliance, they seek a marriage candidate for their son and turn to the most coveted human family in the land, the Kapellas, who, despite their status, live in poverty and misfortune. This human family consists of a widowed mother, an eldest daughter, and two sons: the youngest son, who is mute, and the eldest son, Asher, who is terminally ill. The Evergland Clan arranges a grand dinner and ball to unite the families. Though the eldest daughter, the family’s pillar of strength, has already found love with another human, she is nonetheless chosen to marry the vampire heir. Bound by duty but conflicted by her heart, she is set to fulfill the Evergland Clan’s wishes. During the proceedings, Asher, determined to protect his sister from a loveless union, takes a bold step. He interrupts the wedding and takes over, giving himself up to a mysterious women. Unaware of the consequences this declaration will bring, Asher unknowingly opens the door to a fate far darker than he could have anticipated.

Devourer System : Infinite Paths

A Galaxy Ruled by Magic, What is Better than That? A Galaxy Ruled by Magic and Chosen Individuals with unique Systems, with each system representing a different aspect of reality. The Systems range from the simple Ascendant grade Flame Heart system, which granted simple yet strong fire-based abilities, to the pinnacle of power, the Primordial Grade System of Time, which granted dominion over the archaic force of time itself. In such a fantasy, fate weaves its own designs, sending a figure who stood at the peak, betrayed by those he trusted as comrades, back in time. The people who were once comrades are now just enemies, those who wish for only their own good, not caring if their actions will send the galaxy and its untold billions into ruins. When his misery finally ended, his mind was satisfied with having delayed the eventual fate that those traitors wished to bring to the galaxy, but it seemed his work was not done. He found himself back in his younger self, returned years back, all before he even took the first step of power, a reality that felt impossible, yet he was living the impossible. He was given a second chance to do things right, to get revenge on those who betrayed him, and to correct the mistakes he regrets, setting right all that once went wrong. However, What if the reincarnation does not go as it should? What if he returns in time but is stuck with his eighteen-year-old self in his younger body? What if he does not even have control over his physical body and needs to make a deal with his younger self to even control it? The Old is wise, calculating, and utterly ruthless, a man driven by a single-minded purpose, to save the galaxy and satisfy his thirst for revenge. He is willing to cross any line, manipulate any ally, and sacrifice anything or anyone that stands in the way of his ultimate goal. The Young, on the other hand, is an innocent soul, scarred by the greed and cruelty of others. He has lost what he loved most, stripped of a life that should have been his, and forced into the shadows to survive. These harsh circumstances have forged a single desire, to grow stronger because he understands that only with strength can he ever hope to live freely. But the question remains, while their desires align, their personalities could not be more different, so will these two opposing natures work toward the ultimate goal, or will their differences tear them apart before they can achieve it?
