THEY THREW ME INTO THE ABYSS, SO I DEVOURED EVERYTHING
When the world abandons you, the void is the only power left to embrace.
Felix was always the outsider. Betrayed by his noble fiancée and left for dead in a bleeding ditch by his own family, his life ends in cold mud. But instead of death, he wakes up in the middle of the sacred Beast Pact ritual, trapped inside a mangled, glowing beast that everyone calls a useless defect. While others claim magnificent fire dragons and golden lions, Felix bonds with a creature that looks like a dying shadow. What the elite lords do not realize is that this defect is not a broken monster. It is the Void Sovereign, an ancient cosmic entity capable of devouring power, souls, and entire realms. Driven by a cold need for revenge, Felix endures brutal underground dungeons, emerging scarred, ruthless, and ready to make his betrayers bleed. But the void comes with a dangerous price. The entity wants full control of his body, and every time Felix devours a enemy, he risks losing his own mind to the black abyss. To survive the rising cults and impending shadow war, Felix must balance on the thin line between savior and monster.

Chapter: THE SHADOW ON THE SPIREFelix landed on the sloped slate roof of a noble manor, his boots skidding across the rain-slicked tiles before he caught his balance. Forty feet below, the wide marble streets of the upper district were completely deserted, save for patrols of heavy cavalry sweeping past empty fountains.With every leap across the rooftops, the stolen gold magic from Julian pulsed in Felix's bloodstream, binding with the void energy. The black scales on his arm shifted, expanding across his right shoulder and locking around his ribs in flexible, interlocking plates."The magic feels different now," Felix muttered, crouching near a stone gargoyle as rain lashed his hood. "It does not just burn. It flows.""You filled the hollow vessel with noble blood," the Void Sovereign rasped, its voice resonating inside his jaw. "The scales are shifting from raw hide to true void-steel. The arch-mages will not cut through us so easily now."Felix looked up. At the end of the high avenue sat the royal palace, its m

Chapter: BLOOD AND GOLDJulian’s frantic sobs echoed off the damp granite walls of the vault as the black tendrils pulled him tighter against the stone."Felix, please!" Julian choked out, his eyes wide with wild, unadulterated terror as the razor-sharp claws on Felix’s scaled hand hovered inches from his eyes. "Take the gold! Take the estate! Just let me live!""You left me to rot in the ravine, Julian," Felix said, his voice dropping into a hollow, reverberating register. "You watched them throw me into the abyss. Blood meant nothing to you then.""It was Sarah!" Julian shrieked, his legs kicking uselessly in midair. "She planned it all! She wanted your core out of the way!""I do not care whose idea it was," Felix said.He pressed his scaled palm flat against Julian’s chest. The black mark beneath Felix’s shirt flared with blinding dark heat. The tendrils holding Julian pulsed, turning a deep, lightless violet as they began to siphon the golden magic straight out of Julian’s body.Julian let out a sharp,

Chapter: VAULT OF THE VANESFrost exploded across the forge floor in a blinding wave of blue light, instantly coating the iron racks and coal piles in thick, crackling ice. Captain Gerald stepped through the ruined doorframe, his rapier dripping with frost, his cold eyes sweeping over the room."Find the defect!" Gerald barked to the four guards surging in behind him. "Check the cellar! Leave the old smith for the flames!"A thick cloud of white steam and coal smoke billowed off the furnace as icy air hit the open coals. From the heavy shadows behind the chimney, Felix did not hesitate. He melted seamlessly into the smoke, his shadow-step carrying him behind Gerald in a fraction of a second.Felix’s scaled right hand shot out from his cloak, clamping around the captain's wrist with the crushing force of an iron vice."Looking for me, Captain?" Felix whispered into Gerald's ear.Gerald gasped, his eyes widening in shock as he tried to channel his ice magic. But the void scales on Felix's arm drank the blue energy

Chapter: IRON AND ASHESKaelen stood frozen against the anvil, his thick chest heaving as his eyes remained fixed on Felix's scaled arm. The silence in the shop stretched tight, broken only by the steady hiss of rain against the glass overhead."I saw the stories in the old texts," Kaelen whispered, his voice trembling as he stepped forward, his eyes wide. "The black core. The devouring shadow. They said the Void Sovereign was just a bedtime story to scare young nobles.""It is real enough," Felix said flatly, flexing his scaly fingers. The black chitin plates clicked against each other with the sharp sound of polished stone. "And it is hungry."Kaelen reached out a calloused, soot-stained hand, stopping an inch short of Felix's forearm. The air radiating off the scales was freezing, carrying the sharp stink of old copper and burnt sulfur."They stripped my forge ten years ago," Kaelen said, his small eyes darkening with old hatred. "Lord Vane wanted my master's seal for his own smiths. When I refused to sig

Chapter: THE OUTCAST FORGEThe icy rain fell in thick, heavy sheets, washing grease and rotten gutter water down the cobblestones of the lower district. Felix kept his head down, the deep woolen hood pulled low over his forehead. He hugged the shadow of the stone walls, his boots making no sound against the wet rock.Even in the dead of night, the slums were alive with low, desperate energy. Drunks stumbled out of crooked taverns, and ragged refugees huddled under wooden awnings for warmth. Every few minutes, a squad of city watchmen marched through the main street, their silver chestplates shining in the dim light of tallow lamps. They carried long pikes and peered suspiciously into every dark doorway, clearly on high alert."Look at them strutting," the Void Sovereign whispered in Felix’s mind, its tone sharp and mocking. "Fat, soft pigs in shiny suits. A quick pulse of black fire would melt their armor into their skin.""Not yet," Felix muttered into his collar, keeping his face hidden as a pair of guards wa

Chapter: CLIMBING THE CRYPTThe damp chill of the stone stairs bit into Felix’s feet, but the heat pulsing in his scaled right arm kept the rest of his body warm. He kept his hips low, rising silent as smoke from step to step, his purple-tinged vision cutting cleanly through the gloom.Above him, the yellow light of an oil lamp cast long, jittery shadows against the damp granite. The two wardens were still talking, their voices carrying clearly down the narrow staircase."I am telling you, Julian Vane paid the High Priest a fortune for this," the older warden grunted, leaning his iron pike against his shoulder. "He walked out of the hall with the family seal before the blood was even dry on the floor.""What about the girl?" the younger guard asked, pulling a silver flask from his coat to take a quick pull. "The one from the Northern Reaches?""Sarah?" The older man snorted, rubbing his red nose. "She did not even look at the body. A girl like that only cares about gold and griffins. The coreless fool never had
