EG | The Crown of Ash
"Power is never born of purity. It thrives on blood, betrayal, and the lingering ashes of forbidden magic."
To the Holy Kingdom of Lumen, Kaelen is an absolute abomination. Born from a genetic collision between an abyssal parasite and ancient dragon blood, he was condemned as the prophesied Demon Lord. Betrayed by his own kind, scourged with silver, and left to rot, Kaelen was supposed to vanish into history.
Instead, the monster within him awoke.
If this corrupt world needs a villain to justify its hypocritical holy wars, Kaelen will gladly play the part. Armed with the forbidden violet magic known as Aether and a biological mutation that defies death, he rises to tear down the established order.
But the "Holy" Kingdom harbors a rot far deeper than mere heresy. Behind pristine altars and silver armor, ancient aristocrats thirsting for power silently control the fate of humanity. They are not simply leaders, they are predators draped in silk, preying on the lives of the people for eternal dominance. To survive and crush this tyranny, Kaelen must forge an alliance with other damned souls.
Will Kaelen break the cycle of the world or will his monstrous instincts consume him first? One thing is certain, true peace will only come when those golden thrones are reduced to ash.
