ASHES OF ENVY
He was never meant to matter.
In a world ruled by predators, Lycaon was nothing more than an invisible extra — weak, humiliated, forgotten. While others fought for power, he survived in silence, buried beneath envy, rage, and the cruel weight of being nobody.
But humiliation is dangerous when it survives too long.
After a single night changes everything, Lycaon begins his rise through the shadows of an unforgiving underworld where loyalty is bought, fear is currency, and monsters wear human faces. Guided by ruthless mentors, hunted by rivals, and haunted by the pieces of himself he keeps losing, he builds something far more terrifying than strength — control.
As wolves gather around him and the city slowly bends beneath his influence, one truth becomes clear:
The boy the world ignored is gone.
And what replaced him was never human to begin with.
