Siege Of Darkness

Born into shame and shadow, Rael Nightbane was the son of a slave girl—forced and discarded by the arrogant young master of the prestigious Nightbane Clan. Marked from birth as a stain on the clan’s honor, Rael endured a life of scorn and cruelty. On the sacred day of Talent Awakening, his humiliation was complete: the revered 12-ring column failed to shine even the faintest light for him. Power is everything in Rael’s world, and to be talentless is to be nothing. Branded as worthless, his existence became unbearable. But when his twisted stepbrothers conspired to end his life—casting him into a deadly river to be devoured by water beasts—fate intervened. At the river’s dark bottom, a mysterious black hole beckoned. As it tried to consume him, something ancient stirred within Rael’s bloodline. Instead of death, he found rebirth. The void awakened a power long buried in his veins. Dark matter surged into him, merging with his soul. From that abyss, Rael rose—no longer a powerless outcast, but a harbinger of vengeance, shrouded in shadows. His true inheritance had awakened, and it was darker—and more powerful—than anyone could have imagined. Now, as the Duke of Darkness, he returns not just to survive, but to dominate. Those who mocked him will beg for mercy. Those who hurt his mother will wish they’d never been born. And the Nightbane Clan? They will remember his name—for they are first in line to suffer his wrath.

Above the black cliffs of the Aviedhien Ocean, Queen Lysmira stands defiant, heir to a bloodline that once bound gods. Her people starve. Her armies dwindle. But her will remains unbroken. Beyond the valley, Emperor Brudahas commands a host a million strong — the greatest army ever forged. Kingdoms have fallen beneath his boots. Rivers have been bent to his will. He comes not to burn Draventh, but to crown it. To finish the world he has conquered. What unfolds is not merely a siege, but a war of legacies — where surrender is not defeat, and conquest is not victory. Between a tyrant who seeks eternity and a queen who chooses memory, the battle becomes something greater: a reckoning. When gods no longer answer, when Dust itself becomes a weapon, only one truth remains: The crown must be taken… or buried with its last bearer.

Rudolff is gone. The gods are scheming. Hades is... probably on an extended vacation. And Christopher is hungry for revenge. But before he can strike back, he must find purpose. Uncover his true meaning and break every seal that holds him back. To survive, he must awaken his bloodline. But awakening comes at a cost—one that could plunge the world into chaos. *** Second Synopsis/ The prophecy of Dawn. After the last Titanomachy, when the skies had burned thrice red, Erebus shall stir from the depths where silence reigns, And in the hollow void, he shall curse the dawn, Regretting that ever gods were born from Chaos' womb. Cloaked in hatred, he shall not rise in form, But shall drift as shadow, unchained by Tartarus, Seeking not vengeance in flame or sword, But in a Host, one of mortal flesh, A vessel through whom doom shall be poured. The Host shall be born of twilight blood, A son in whom the power of the dead flows strong. Neither fully god nor wholly man, He shall walk the earth with the weight of worlds unseen, And the dead shall heed his call as kin. Through him, wars shall be kindled like stars in the void, Thrones shall crumble, Olympus shall tremble. Not with wrath, but with change shall he strike, Unmaking the ancient order, not to reign, But to erase the right of gods to rule at all. He shall not kneel to god nor Titan, For the bones of empires will pave his path. From the ashes of divine dominion Shall rise an age where no god sits high. Beware the child who dreams of silence, Who walks among graves and speaks to none. He is the storm before the stillness, The harbinger of a world unshackled. Through him, Erebus shall wander, and through him, end the gods. *** A/N: This is my first book BTW. Just wrote it cause it was inspired by my love for Greek mythology and the PJO series.

Kimtaru is the daughter of Demon Lord Muzan and a human woman. Her mother died in a carriage accident when Kimtaru was still very young. Muzan loved Kimtaru dearly, but mistakenly believed she had died with her mother. As a result, he had no idea that his daughter had survived. Born with 80% demon blood, Kimtaru was rescued by the Demon Slayer Corps as a child. They raised and trained her like an ordinary human girl. To hide her true nature, Kimtaru drank powder daily to suppress her demon instincts – even though it caused her intense pain and made her faint repeatedly. Growing up right in the heart of her father’s enemies, Kimtaru still chose to protect humans. She lived with kindness, fought with resolve, and eventually rose to become a Hashira – specifically, the Fragrance Pillar, known for her gentle, elegant style that masked deadly strength. Since childhood, Kimtaru had quietly watched over her younger sister, Kimho, who was much weaker and carried only 30% demon blood. Though she never spoke of it, Kimtaru always protected Kimho from judgmental eyes within the Corps – silently, but fiercely.
