Ruthless Inheritance: A Villain's Path

James Allan grew up as the sole heir to one of the most powerful duke houses in the kingdom of Solene, with a kind heart that set him apart from his overbearing father. But when his father perished under suspicious circumstances, James’s world unravelled. Betrayed by his beloved wife and closest friends, he watched helplessly as they tore apart his inheritance, leaving him destitute and broken. As he drifted through the depths of despair, a dark alter ego emerged within him—a relentless, shadowed version of himself, driven by hatred and vengeance. This sinister self, whispering at his moments of hesitation, became both a curse and a source of newfound strength, pushing James to embrace his darkest instincts. ................ "They took everything from you," the voice hissed. "And you’re just going to let them walk away?" “I’m not… I can’t.” "Can’t? Or won’t?" The voice sneered. "You’re weak. They need to bleed, James. Take back what’s yours, and let them suffer for every betrayal.” ............. In a world where power and cruelty reign, follow James Allan's descent from a man betrayed to a villain forged by vengeance—a tale of inner darkness, lost kindness, and a battle for control that will change the world forever.

World of Veloria

Veloria is a magical world with mysterious wonders and multiple races. It is a world where the magical energy that empowers the spells and skills of the people comes from the heavens.

Magical energy flowed from the universe into the world. From the stars, the moon, and other celestial alignments, making certain places more potent in magical energy.

Anyone can awaken their innate talent, and cultivate and increase their power, But every race has their unique talent that directs the path they must embark.

Yet this did not mean they could not use other kinds of spells, it simply meant their natural talents in that area were insufficient.

Humans were the only race with an affinity for all types of magic, making them the de facto leaders of the world.

Veloria has four major continents, numerous islands and vast oceans filled with magical creatures wondrous, yet dangerous.

Astoria: A land of vast mountain ranges and shimmering rivers. It is the birthplace of celestial magic. Home to the most powerful kingdoms, and their influence shapes much of Veloria's political dynamics

Elvaris: Also known as "The Emerald Continent", a lush land with dense forests and fertile valleys. Inhabitants have a strong affinity for nature magic and can manipulate flora, making the land appear enchanted.

Solarae: A continent of deserts, fiery canyons and hidden oasis cities. Rich in a unique energy source called sunstone, which amplifies fire magic during the day. The people of Solarae have a reputation for their intense, almost warlike culture and their openness to carnal relations. They are adept at both combat and fire-based magic. Also known for their fire independence from the other continents. 

Nytheris: Known as the "Veiled Continent", a place cloaked in mist and shadows, with sprawling underground cities and dark forests. Spectral creatures roam its more desolate areas. The people of Nytheris are masters of stealth and shadow magic, and the kingdoms there tend towards strict hierarchies.
