Vyrkanth, a land of iron spires and coal-choked skies on the continent of Draveth, stands at the heart of the storm, its crimson wyrm banner raised against looming threats: orc warbands from Grundthar, elven skyships from Sylvara, and the restless dragons of Ignarath. Amid the clatter of steam carts and the flicker of arcane light, a peasant named Kael Draven emerges from the muck of Lowcrook, his piercing blue eyes—a rarity in a realm of brown and gray—marking him as an outcast, a target of scorn and suspicion.

He raises up my chin with his finger, his piercing blue eyes flickering between my lips and eyes. "Do you think I like her?". He starts leaning in. Everywhere starts getting hot.

This is a bizarre and mysterious world filled with various sinister cultivation methods. Once a person begins to cultivate, they will either undergo mild changes in appearance and temperament, descend into madness, or become a great elixir for evil beings to consume...

Later, as his mastery over various methods grows, Duan Yun, carrying the philosophy of 'the enlightened benefit the world,' never keeps secrets and spreads martial arts across the land. Who would have thought... "Duan the Demon misled me! He said this technique enhances yin and yang, but now I can only squat to pee, boo hoo..." "It was the Demon who taught me this 'Seven Parts Returning Qi'. Instead of blessing me, it brought disaster—I either get killed or step in dung. The fortune-teller said I've lost seventy percent of my luck." "Don't trust a word of what Demon Duan says! The fairy of the Myriad Wonders Palace was supposed to ascend the whole palace to the heavens, but in one night, she was possessed and turned into a demoness, all due to that old demon Duan's handiwork!" ... Duan Yun finds this incomprehensible. All he did was practice martial arts, spread techniques, and occasionally emulate the laws of nature, so how did he become notorious as a demon? This is slander! The same techniques cause no issues for me, so the problem lies with you all, not me!

Can anyone truly suppress the overwhelming desire to uncover the truth? the riches? the adventure? Will you heed the warnings-or succumb to the call of the woods? Step forward and uncover the secrets that await... if you dare."

The weak are insulted and abused the strong are praised and worshipped. Haji had spent his life buried in Xianxia, Wuxia, and Fantasy—always yearning for a world beyond the mundane Earth. Haji had long grown weary of the cumbersome Earth he knew all too well. However, one fateful day during his leisurely stroll in the forest, a spatial rift tore open before him. An impossible phenomenon; an unprecedented opportunity. Without hesitation, he stepped through. The rift vanished; as did Haji Darkness. Chaos. The vast unknown. Then—light. Haji awakened, not as himself, but as a newborn. Reborn into a poor clan, in a world where life was cheap and cruelty was law. His instincts roared. His soul remained unshaken. He devoured the infant’s soul without hesitation, seizing the body for himself. In this world, he would crawl if he had to, kneel if it meant survival. He would kowtow, beg, flatter, and endure humiliation. But he would remember. He would engrave every insult, every glare, every bystander who stood idle as he suffered. He would return kindness & loyalty with mountains of profundity, and malice with vengeance a hundredfold. For now, he was weak, merely a cub, but one day, he would pierce above the heavens. On that day, there would be no more restraints. No more caution. No more rules. Only his will, unchallenged and eternal.

"'I don't care, Sarah. I despise you. I despise the whole of you." Xavier's growl sent shivers down her spine. His piercing blue eyes locked onto hers, seeing right through her. Tears welled up as he sneered, "I'm Xavier Adrian. Your feelings mean nothing." Sarah's heart shattered as his words pierced through her innocent heart. "Then who am I to you?" she trembled. Xavier's whisper sent fear coursing through her veins and he slowly let out his usual sinful smirk "I'm the Devil and you're my prey." "When darkness reigns, survival is luxury."

When the two broken souls meet, Sarah is confronted with a side of her own darkness as twisted as nightmare and Xavier faces a bigger nightmare . In a world where loyalty is luxury and survival is a constant battle, can Sarah and Xavier find a way to overcome their demons, or will they become each other's destruction?
