Born into the most prestigious clan of sword masters, I was destined to become a legend. My father believed I would be his prodigy, training me relentlessly to awaken my Hakana — the power that defines a true master. My family had high expectations. My friends believed I would be the next mighty warrior. But everything shattered when my father was betrayed — murdered by his closest friend, who stole the power meant to be mine. Stripped of my birthright, cast aside as a nobody, I must now claw my way back from nothing. I will challenge the strongest masters, slay the demons in my path, and reclaim the power that was stolen from me. But as blood stains my hands and the darkness creeps into my soul, I must ask myself: Will I rise as the hero I was born to be? Or will I fall... and become the Demon Slayer I was never meant to be?

Chapter one
Flames painted the night sky in hues of crimson and gold. Screams tore through the air like ragged blades, echoing off the ancient stone walls of the Rivenhart Clan's fortress. Once a sanctuary of swordmasters, it now stood on the brink of ruin. Kael Rivenhart’s boots skidded across blood-slicked marble as he raced toward the inner sanctum, the sword strapped to his back still untouched. He wasn’t ready. Not yet. Not tonight. But destiny never waited for readiness. "Kael! Stay back!" his father’s voice thundered across the courtyard. Kael froze beneath the stone archway, his heart pounding. Through the veil of smoke and sparks of wild magic, he saw two men locked in a brutal clash. One was his father—Haron Rivenhart, the strongest swordmaster the world had ever known. The other— “Uncle Dareth?” Kael whispered, disbelief thick in his throat. Dareth moved like a shadow, faster than Kael had ever seen him. Their blades clashed with explosive force, each strike shaking the ground b

The dust settled, but the tension in the air only grew thicker. Kael stood in the center of the arena, his chest rising and falling with every breath, the dark Hakana swirling around him like a phantom cloak. His eyes were still void, soulless, as if some ancient force had completely taken over. "Four against one," he said, his voice deeper—layered. "Then let the balance be evened." Rand wiped the blood off his mouth and looked sideways at his three friends—Jarvis, Azeal, and Denis. The fear in their eyes didn’t match the bravado in their stance. "Together!" Rand shouted, and the four launched forward in sync, blades raised, energy swirling. Kael moved. It wasn’t just speed—it was something beyond human, even beyond gifted. He disappeared in a blur, and before any of them could land a strike, Lance screamed as he was hurled across the arena. His body smashed into the ground with a sickening crack. The crowd gasped. "That’s one," Kael murmured. Jarvis tried to stab him from beh

Every leader on the seat all stood. Their gaze landed on Kael as he growed. His dark Hakana showing right inside of him. "Is that?" One of the elders looked at him. "That is not possible?" "Not at his age!" One of the men said from the podium. The king also looks astonished. "He is the son of Harold, isn't he?" He asks, staring at Dareth, who was short of words. He had taken Kael's father's Hakana. There was no way he should have one. "The dark Hakana is forbidden. We had him banned because of it!" another elder said, looking at the King. "We need all the strength we can gather. We need every man and teenager to fight the demons to come. Do you think you can take them when we are attacked?" The next burst of energy sent shock waves down everyone's spine. "Is that the second time?" "Omg! Rand is dead!" " Kael is going to kill him. He has always wanted to." "I will run if I were Rand." Kael stood up, his body shimmering with a dark energy. His eye showed void. He was not hims

The figure emerged from the mist and Kael ease up when he saw Dareth. The man had a sword right in his hands as he walked towards Kael. He had a grim look on his face as he approached. Kael bowed his head slowly to the ground as Dareth got closer. He looked around the arena and smiled. " I remembered where it all started. Your father and I, in this same sand. But then he could beat me easily and father didn't think twice before handling his Hakana over to him." Dareth said with a smirk. " Do you think you can fight my son and win?" He asked staring at Kael who looked back each time to make sure he was save. Kael said nothing but only stared at Dareth. Dareth could feel the hatred in him burned. " Are you angry because i didn't allow you to train or are you hiding something from me?" He asked taking another step closer to Kael who was now feeling a bit scared. " Do you remember my rules when I took you into my house?" Dareth asked. Still Kael said nothing. He simply held his dag

Immediately Kael was back from the clinic, he was assigned by Master Harond to clean the locker room."But I am twice better than most of the kids around here. Why would you assign me to do the chores? I want to fight!" Kael shouted."Are you going to tell me what to do now? You could have died if the beast hadn’t missed. I want cooperation, not someone who wants to stand out. Locker rooms. Now. Scrub them clean," Master Harond barked, his voice echoing across the training grounds.Kael stood frozen. The morning sun bathed the academy walls, but it offered no warmth against the cold stares and mocking laughter of the students surrounding him."A hero yesterday, a janitor today," someone snickered."Was he even one? The beast almost killed him.""Maybe he can scrub out his failure," another added.Kael said nothing. He clenched his fists, pride warring with discipline. Harond’s eyes narrowed."Move, boy. Unless you’d prefer to be flogged again."Kael turned and walked silently toward t

The beast's roar shook the academy walls.A shadow loomed over the training grounds as a monstrous creature burst through the shattered barrier—eight feet tall, its hide covered in blackened scales, its eyes burning red with fury. It was no wild animal. This was something summoned. Something sent.Students scattered, some screaming, others frozen."Formation!" Master Harond's voice cut through the panic like a blade. "Now!"But not all obeyed. Many were still too young. Untrained. Unawakened.Kael didn’t move with the others. He stepped forward, eyes locked on the beast.His heart thudded.It wasn’t fear. It was recognition.The Hakana inside him stirred.The beast charged, its claws tearing into the earth as it rushed toward the king, who stood utterly still, watching.Just as it lunged, Kael moved.Gasps echoed across the courtyard.He dashed forward, cloak trailing behind him, hair catching the wind. Everyone watched as he raced to meet the monster. But just as he closed the distan

The storm broke just before dawn. Kael stood at the mouth of the cave, shirtless, steam rising off his skin as the rain soaked him to the bone. The mountain air was sharp, biting. Behind him, the scarred man silently wrapped up the remnants of last night’s ritual, his face grim.Kael clenched his fists. He still felt it—the flicker in his chest. His Hakana. Wild, black, and pulsing with something he didn’t understand.He had seen his uncle's Hakana and unlike his, it was nothing like his own was. “Why is it like this?” Kael asked without turning. “Why is mine… wrong?”The scarred man didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he lit his pipe and took a slow drag, exhaling smoke that curled toward the cave ceiling.“Because your power wasn’t forged. It was chained.”Kael turned sharply. “Chained by who?”The man met his gaze. “Someone who feared you.”That stopped Kael cold.Feared him?He’d always been the weak one. The reject. The joke at the academy. The one the instructors ignored and t

The first thing Kael noticed was the sound—thunderous and constant, like a waterfall crashing against stone. His eyes fluttered open, and the world came into focus. He was no longer at the top of the mountain.He was beneath it.He lay on a mat of thick furs inside a dim cave carved deep into the mountainside. Jagged shadows danced along the walls from a small fire flickering in the center. The air was cold but crisp, tinged with moss, smoke, and damp stone.Across from him sat the scarred man—silent, unmoving, his one good eye fixed on Kael.“You’re awake,” the man said, his voice like gravel scraping iron. “Good.”Kael pushed himself up with a wince. His side throbbed where the blade had caught him, but the wound was clean and tightly wrapped. He hesitated, then swung his legs over the side and dropped to one knee.“Please,” he said, bowing his head. “Train me. Make me strong. Make me... more.”For a moment, there was only the sound of the waterfall outside and the fire’s quiet crac

The moment the king and his men disappeared beyond the gates, Dareth's smile vanished."Everyone out," he barked.The guards hesitated, exchanging wary glances, but the edge in Dareth’s voice brooked no argument. One by one, the crowd dispersed until only Dareth, Kael, and a trembling Rand remained.Kael stood still, chest heaving, dried blood caking the edge of his mouth. He didn’t miss the way Dareth’s hand went to his sword."You humiliated my son," Dareth growled. "Before the king. Before everyone.""I didn’t ask for this," Kael said quietly."That’s the problem. You didn’t need to. You think your father’s blood gives you the right to rise?"Kael’s spine straightened at the mention of his father. To think Dareth would taunt him each time about his father made him even more annoyed and pissed off.Dareth smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. "You are nothing like him."Then, without warning, he drew his sword.Kael’s instincts screamed, but his body didn’t move fast enough. The fla

Kael’s breath hitched. It was her. The girl from the forest—the one who had mocked his swordplay, bested him with a grin. She wasn’t some wandering rogue. She was royalty. Her cloak no longer shimmered with moonlight but with real gold threads. Her hair was woven with tiny rubies, her steps light yet commanding as she walked beside the King. Layla. Someone whispered her name as she passed, and Kael clenched his fists. He looked again through the tiny hole in the wall. The same girl who had laughed while striking his backside now walked with a crown resting lightly on her brow. The King's daughter. And she had played with him like he was nothing but a toy. His pride burned, but confusion ran deeper. Why hadn’t she said anything? Why pretend? Why come to him at all? "Line them up!" a guard barked, yanking Kael back to reality. He stepped out into the courtyard, joining the rest of the slaves. His tunic clung to his skin. Blood from his knuckles had soaked through the band
