Craving

Year 1054. The Grand Prince is dead. Rus' is left without will - without the hand that held the sword. Torn between boyars, ambition, and foreign hands, the land craves power. But it receives no hero, no warlord - only a stranger in a prince’s skin. Alexander remembers a world that never existed here. He has seen empires fall. And he swore - not to repeat their mistakes. He has no army. No allegiance. Only knowledge. And will. Every boyar is a wolf. Every word - a blade. Every choice - a duel on the edge. He did not come to conquer. He came to hold. And to build not the Rus’ of the past, but a realm worthy of being the future. This is not a story of war. This is a story of power. And the price paid by the one who dares to take it.

The Earth was torn apart, reshaped into an endless dungeon—a brutal labyrinth of blood-soaked corridors, twisted monsters, and stages that grow more terrifying with every level. The rules of survival have changed: gather coins, and use them to buy anything you desire. Power, safety, even happiness—everything has a price. For Lex, there’s only one thing he craves: death. But in this world, where coins can buy anything, even that is out of reach. Cursed with the power "Die to Begin," every time Lex dies, he's resurrected at the start, trapped in an endless loop of survival and torment. All he wants is enough coins to finally purchase the one thing that he had been seeking for countless lifetimes—an end. In this nightmare, where money can truly buy anything, Lex will sacrifice everything, even his humanity, just to escape the endless suffering. -------------------------------- If you'd like to support me, here's my patreon :) https://www.patreon.com/c/HYLP

Strength is a pursuit that drives us all, though for vastly different reasons. Some seek it to shield their loved ones, to stand as an unshakable wall against the world's storms. Others crave it to solidify their dominance, clinging to power with an iron grip. And then some chase strength not for protection or control but for ambition—to carve their names into history through sheer might. Yet among all the reasons that compel one to grow stronger, none is more destructive or consuming than the thirst for revenge. This path is paved with pain and fueled by suffering, and in the end, it often leads not to triumph but to ruin. Alex, a seventeen-year-old boy, watched in helpless horror as his family and clan were slaughtered before his eyes by the Four Higher clans. Powerless, he had no choice but to run. But even as he fled, one thought burned into his soul, searing deeper with every heartbeat. They will pay. Every single one of them will pay. I don’t care if I have to sell my soul to the devil— They. Will. All. Pay. Let us journey with Alex on his journey for revenge, in a world of magic.

When he didn’t move, panic surged through her, and she screamed. His hand shot out, wrapping around her throat, his grip unyielding. A breathless gasp tore from her lips.
