The Last King Of Darkness

This is a world shrouded in darkness. The spreading Black Fog corrodes every living creature. The only protection for humanity lies in fire. But as the dark Epoch approached, the fires slowly extinguished. Countless strong Kingdoms became dens for Dark Monsters, humans lost contact with each other, and survivors trembled in the faint solitary light. Until Rod came to this world. "Damn, what's this cow and horse stuff, is it edible?" "This Soul, it's delicious." "As long as the will of fire remains unextinguished, I believe, one day, humanity will once again illuminate this world and burn all spectral vermin to ashes." "Even if I'm mired in darkness, bearing the Dream Realm, I can still support this world!" "We've won!" —— The world is about to fall, the Abyss looms at our side. And I will raise this Unique flame to light up the world. Yes, I am the last King of Darkness. But... Hello? Anyone, save me.

Darkness. The ultimate ruler, the true One-Above-All. Everything starts from it, and everything returns to it eventually. People say that in your final moments, darkness seeps in your very existence, engulfs your whole being. They say it’s an incredibly relaxing feeling that takes you on your journey to your afterlife. They say that in the very darkness, the ‘nothingness’ your weary soul will finally be able to rest and relax. This brings up some very philosophical and existential questions. Do you even exist? Follow the epic journey of Aiden, the last primal, a unique and ancient race as he finds his place in a strange, new world, filled with threats and violence. ----- UPDATE: A supportive reader has created a Discord Server.

While I may be new to the writing scene, I will do my very best to bring you an enjoyable experience. Hope you enjoy the journey just as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Like most stories on the webstory app, it's not the worst story I have ever read, but don't expect it to be the quality of Herman Melville or John Steinbeck. Treat it as a fan fiction and you'll have a good time.

Me! Every time he reached a desperate situation, he would definitely break through!

Wang Xuan, who had been reborn, had obtained the ability to break through every desperate situation. Especially when he realized that he would receive heaven-defying rewards after every achievement. The Undying Medicine, the Ten Vicious masterpiece techniques, the peerless divine technique, the World Tree, the Martial Monarch Realm weapon's immortal qi, the invincible immortal beast, and so on came one after another. From then on, he embarked on the path of conquering everything. The Nine Skies and Ten Earths were shattered into pieces. The ominous and dark forces were eyeing them like tigers eyeing their prey. However, the 3,000 provinces were constantly fighting among themselves. Foreign Lands, Desolate Mountains, Four Seas, Buddhist Kingdoms, Divine Courts, Highlands, Burial Earth, Ancient Families, Immortal Dynasties, and Great Dao Sacred Lands. The Ten Vicious Kunpeng, the Future Buddha, the son of the Great Emperor, the pure-blooded immortal beast, the powerful race in the deep space, the Sacred Body of the Ancients, the Sacred Body of the Battle, and the dual-pupils were born one after another. The battle between ancient and new techniques, the battle between darkness and light, despair and hope. The most glorious and darkest golden age of legends had arrived. Who would be the one to lead the way and establish the Immortal Dynasty?
