Shadow Monarch Manhwa

Rise of a Tainted Monarch

Nobles. Hunters. Warlocks. Sorcerers. Monsters. Beasts. And Loch, an orphan with a tainted arm, is about to get a perilous crash course on how these mighty creatures weave their webs of power in a world where the supernatural goes hand in hand with science. The world of Aegis is filled with all manner of powerful beings, but these powerful beings didn't start strong; they grew, evolved, and ascended. By twisting the power of the Tainted Aether, the very lifeblood that runs through all things in the world of Aegis, humans have taken a step to rise above their original status as prey and have joined the ranks of the predators. After millennia of fortifying and no small number of sacrifices, Humans have cut a slice of the hazardous lands for themselves, with their ringed cities built on blessed soil and defended by magic and machines, each ruled over by a being so powerful they are title with the name of royalty, Monarch. Some Humans have begun to be born and die without seeing a shadow of the many monstrous existences that used to have a human or two for breakfast. It is in one of these ringed cities where an Orphan born with a common deformity due to Tainted blood is about to learn what it takes to rise above the masses and ascend to the almost mythical level of Monarch. A GRIMDARK story filled with classic sword and magic elements but also a very heavy sprinkling of guts, guns, and glory. Humans can only rise past their limits by hunting the many beasts and monsters that roam the lands of Aegis.

Married To The Cursed Monarch

Carmela never wanted to marry Logan Cross, the cursed and forsaken fifth prince. Thrown into exile within a desolate palace, he was treated as if he didn’t exist, unloved and unwanted. When Carmela's family was forced to sacrifice one of their daughters to wed him, she was chosen against her will. Filled with resentment, she treated Logan with cruelty, neglected him, and ultimately betrayed him. She eloped with another man only to learn too late that he had used her to gain wealth and power, all while secretly loving her own sister. By the time she realized her mistake, Logan had already risen to the throne, no longer the powerless outcast she once scorned. And his first act as king? Sentencing his unfaithful wife to death. As the guillotine fell, Carmela closed her eyes, awaiting the end. But when she opened them again, she was back in her wedding gown ten years in the past. This time, she will not make the same mistakes. She will love Logan, cherish him, and protect him from the fate that once awaited them both. But will he ever trust her after everything she had done? And more importantly, is the curse truly as simple as everyone believes? --Excerpt The iron scent of blood filled the air. Carmela’s knees ached against the cold, hard platform as rough hands forced her down, the heavy chains around her wrists biting into her flesh. The crowd below roared in anticipation, their faces filled with scorn, with hatred. She wanted to scream, to tell them she wasn’t the same woman who had once scorned their king. But it was too late. Above her, the executioner stood poised, his hands gripping the lever of the guillotine. The sharp steel glinted under the dim sunlight, its edges stained with old blood. "Adulteress," the royal advisor announced. "Traitor to the Crown. Unworthy of His Majesty’s mercy." Carmela lifted her head, her tear-streaked face searching for him. And there he was. Logan Cross. No longer the outcast prince she had once abandoned, no longer the quiet, unwanted shadow that the world ignored. Now, he was a king a powerful, terrifying one. His once hollow golden eyes burned with icy fury, his lips pressed in a firm line. He sat on his throne, watching as justice was carried out, unmoved. She had done this. She had pushed him away. Betrayed him. Left him to suffer alone. And yet, she had loved him too late, far too late. "Your Majesty," the executioner spoke, awaiting his command. Logan’s gaze met hers for the briefest moment, filled with something she could no longer understand. "Proceed," he said. Carmela's breath hitched as the blade came down. Darkness consumed her. Then— She woke.

shadow Ascendants

In a world where power and magic govern all, Ren was once a weak, unremarkable youth. Born in a distant, forgotten village, his only hope for survival in the chaotic land was to endure and work tirelessly. But fate had other plans for him. Ren’s life changes forever when he unknowingly stumbles upon the ruins of the Shadow Monarch, an ancient being who once ruled the realm through the power of shadows. Through a series of trials that push him to the edge of death, Ren inherits the legacy of the Shadow Monarch, gaining control over the very shadows themselves. However, power is never a gift without consequence. With his newfound strength, Ren embarks on a journey to build his own kingdom, starting from the heart of the ancient land where the Abyss Knight—a being of pure darkness—had once laid waste to civilizations. As he conquers magical beasts, warriors, and rival kingdoms, Ren’s growth accelerates, and the people of the land begin to whisper of his power. But his rise is far from uncontested. Facing divine beings, who see him as a threat to their dominion, Ren must not only defeat beasts but also challenge gods, fighting for survival and progressing toward godhood with each hard-won battle. Along the way, he faces challenges of loyalty, betrayal, and sacrifice. As Ren’s power grows, so too does the responsibility of being the Shadow Monarch, and he must decide how far he is willing to go to secure his future and the legacy of his kingdom. With shadow magic, kingdom-building, divine invasions, and a journey of personal growth, Ren is on the path to greatness—if he can survive the enemies that will rise against him. Will Ren remain the same man who once feared the world, or will he become something more, shaping a kingdom of shadows that will stand the test of time? The Shadow Monarch's Rise is a story of growth, power, and the unrelenting pursuit of destiny in a world where gods, monsters, and mortals collide.
