Not Named Like A

Soul leech– One of the ‘named horrors’ witnessed by humanity centuries ago. It's said that a King surnamed Dante formed a contract with it for the sole purpose of revenge. The leech said - “I shall help you if you're willing to pay the price” to which the king agreed. In the days that followed, King Dante unleashed a reign of terror against those who had wronged him. He exacted a brutal vengeance only to realise by the end, that he and his nation had turned into mere vessels for the leech. “Scary story indeed, but what does all of this have to do with me?”

In a world where history fades like whispers on the wind, young Tobias stumbles upon a forgotten relic—an ancient blade with a voice from the past. When he meets Siegfried, a warrior bound by fate and trapped within the sword, Tobias unknowingly awakens a legend lost to time. Siegfried reveals that he was once part of the Ten Nameless Oaths, an elite guild forged during the Great Age of Ash, when monstrous Fiends first emerged from the Rift at the heart of the Casderia Waters. But to Tobias, the past is nothing more than myths and forgotten names. He has never heard of the guild, the war, or even the Age of Ash itself. More disturbingly, he sees only a sword where Siegfried stands. The chilling truth soon dawns on Siegfried—he is no longer a man of flesh and blood, but a spirit imprisoned within the blade, cursed to exist beyond time. As Tobias promises to return and learn more, Siegfried is left alone in the dark once again, grappling with the questions that haunt him. Why was he sealed within this weapon? Was this his punishment for failing to protect his king? And if the world has forgotten The Ten Nameless Oaths… what else has been lost to history? With destiny pulling them together, Tobias and Siegfried are about to uncover truths that could reshape the world—and awaken forces that should have remained buried.

Daphne Roasis is a modern day woman who travels back in time and wakes up inhabiting the body of a woman living in the middle ages. A noble born woman by the name of Lady Mariam of House Erayer. She's just gotten married is about to betray her new husband to please her secret lover who plans to kill her and her new husband once he's secured the man's station and fortune. Lady Mary is cruel, vain, selfish, stupid and gullible. She fully deserves her bloody end. But now Daphne is wearing her face. And her head is filled with memories as well as visions of the bloodbath that awaits them should the coup not be halted. Recognizing her circumstances and further struggling to understand them, Daphne realizes she was brought here to stop Lady Mary from committing an act of betrayal that would devastate the lives of hundreds of citizens. Her own people as she is now the wife of a Lord. At first, Daphne just wants to return home. Her circumstances are dangerous and she doesn't wish to bear this burden. She is in a foreign land, surrounded by people she does not know, a culture she doesn't understand, problems she did not create and in the body of a stranger. Each interaction with Mary's husband proves that he is a man of honor and would make for a very good partner for any woman lucky enough to bag him. She couldn't understand how Mary wasn't able to see his value and chose to hurt such a good man. Plus, he was insanely attractive. Daphne knows that Mary has already left a bad impression on her new husband with her rotten attitude and as such, he is not fond of her. Nor are any of the servants and knights. She decides the only way to create harmony and go about disrupting the coup is to come clean to the husband about who she is. Sir James Hamstead is completely baffled by his wife's sudden change in attitude. He doesn't know if she's trying to make amends for her mistakes or just playing games with him. He notices she's become much kinder towards his servants and no longer just yells at them. When she finally reveals her true identity, he's tempted to laugh it off as a bad joke. But she is adamant. She also reveals the coup that is about to unfold and the key players involved stating that Mary was one of them. She tells him of what will happen to his people should he fail to stop the takeover. Sir James is even more baffled, but now with a level of hostility. He doesn't believe Daphne's claims about her identity, but he does believe that she was indeed sent to be his weakness and destroy him. In a fit of rage, he has her thrown in the dungeons as he investigates her claims. The pair get off to a bad start, but Daphne knows she must be patient and understanding. It doesn't take long before Sir James comes down to interrogate her. At the persuasion of his personal knight, he agrees to move her from the dungeons and instead confine her to her bedchambers. Again. Soon credence of her claims come forward. It takes a while for James to believe she is not the woman who planned to betray him. It take even longer for him to believe that she wants to help him save his people. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months and before long romance blooms. James becomes very much attached to Daphne and acknowledges her as his real wife. He no longer sees Mary in her and hopes the other woman's soul never returns. Daphne too is having a conflict of interests. She's not here for love. Nor is she a hero. But now, it appears fate has thrust both upon her. How will she manage it?
