Prologue: The King Who Was Betrayed
In a world ruled by power, fear, and blood…
there existed one name that made even gods tremble—
Kael Veyron, the Shadow Tyrant.
He wasn't a hero.
He wasn't a savior.
He was the darkness that devoured both.
Kael rose from nothing—a boy abandoned in the slums, forced to survive through brutality. But unlike others, he didn't seek justice…
He sought domination.
Through forbidden magic, shadow manipulation, and relentless slaughter, he climbed to the peak—crushing kingdoms, enslaving demons, and bending even kings to his will.
But power always breeds fear.
And fear always breeds betrayal.
On the night of his ultimate victory, the very allies he trusted—his generals, his queen, and even his blood-bound brother—stabbed him from behind.
"Monsters like you… don't deserve to rule."
As holy weapons pierced his heart, Kael laughed.
Not in pain.
But in mockery.
"Then I'll come back… and rule again."
Darkness swallowed him whole.
