Knight

Kyle Rezel is a man with no future. After slaughtering a corrupt noble to avenge his lover, he is sentenced to the ultimate execution: exile into the mist-shrouded Rofnar Forest. It is a cursed labyrinth, a place where the Kingdom of Aldeira dumps its worst criminals to be forgotten forever. Kyle enters the mist empty and apathetic, welcoming his end. But the forest is not kind enough to let him die peacefully. Forced to band together with a group of desperate outcasts—a traitor knight, a thief, and a heretic scholar—Kyle is given a cruel glimpse of hope. They believe they can conquer the labyrinth and find the legendary Ruined Kingdom of Aldenora hiding at its center. But the forest feeds on hope. As the mist thickens and the shadows come alive, Kyle realizes that this isn't an adventure; it’s a slaughter. To cross the threshold of the Sealed Garden of Gods, he won't just need strength—he will have to learn that in this ruined world, survival is a curse that must be earned. His revenge is over. His nightmare has just begun.

SYNOPSIS: THE KING WHO HAD NO MAGIC In the Kingdom of Aethelgard, magic is not just power—it is life. To be born without "Mana" is to be a "Hollow," a sub-human class destined for the mines. Jack, a brave and tireless commoner, has spent his life training in secret to become the first-ever Hollow Knight, hoping to prove that a man’s worth is in his heart, not his veins. But on the day of his Knighting Ceremony, the truth is a hammer blow. The Grand Vizier, a wicked sorcerer named Malakor, doesn't just reject him—he reveals that Jack’s lack of magic is a "void" that threatens the kingdom’s stability. Cast out into the Death-Mist Forest to be hunted for sport, Jack stumbles upon a sentient, ancient Scarecrow named Silas. Silas is no mere construct; he is the soul of the kingdom’s founder, betrayed by Malakor centuries ago. Together, the boy who has nothing and the king who lost everything must forge a new path. With a unique "Null-Magic" combat style and an army of outcasts, Jack will rise to reclaim a throne that was never meant for him.

"Kill it! It's a defect! A stain like that has no right to exist in our city!" I looked at the small, pathetic puddle of black ink at my feet. The High Inquisitor’s laughter echoed through the hall, followed by the mocking sneers of the elite. My family’s last hope was crushed. My rank was zero. My future was a death sentence. But as the guard’s boot came down to crush my "beast," the world went cold. "Don't," I whispered. It was too late. The shadow didn't die. It opened its mouth. One gulp. That was all it took for a Rank-B knight to vanish into the darkness. In a world where Beast Tamers are kings and ranks are law, I was born a zero. They called my summon a "Formless Blob." They sentenced us to death before we could even breathe. Little did they know, my beast isn't from this world. It doesn't have a rank because the system can't measure the Abyss. It doesn't have a limit because it grows by eating everything they hold dear. Ranks? Social status? Respect? My shadow is hungry. And today, the elites are on the menu.

Draven Kane, former Crimson Knight of Voldimore, is executed for the massacre of his own clan — a crime manufactured by Maren, the clan healer who believed she was saving him. Reborn through the Blood God System, an ancient imprisoned entity sealed inside the Kalu bloodline for six generations, Draven discovers that every enemy he absorbs makes him permanently stronger. But the system is not his. Shikakiro, an ageless architect who has been dismantling bloodlines for thirty years, has partial access to everything Draven feeds it through a hidden sigil placed without his knowledge. As Draven fights to grow faster than Shikakiro can harvest, manage a Corruption threshold that risks silencing his dead clan’s voices forever, and navigate a city that has been publicly storied against him, he returns to Voldimore with one question that matters more to him than revenge. Did Elara choose to believe the frame Maren built around him — or was she simply handed a weapon and pointed? The answer to that question will determine whether the man who came back from the execution ground still exists, or whether what the Blood God System is making him has already replaced him entirely.

I woke up to find myself a weakling vampire with only 10 health points, and the Holy Light Knight Order was right outside to purify me! In my despair, the 【Proficiency System】activated—so long as I live, everything is grindable! To survive, I did anything! While other vampires were hunting maidens, I was slaughtering a hundred thousand rats in the sewer, my 【Bite】skill maxed out, awakening the talent 【Life Drain】! Holy Light burns painfully? I treated myself like the Monkey King's flesh and braved the Holy Light, my 【Holy Light Resistance】maxed out, awakening the talent 【Holy Light Affinity MAX】, and directly took a Holy Light bath in the church! They thought I was an elegant noble, but what I was actually thinking was, "This sword strike will probably only take 0.001% of my health—too risky, I must kill him instantly!" They called me the "Nighttime Scourge" because I targeted only the most heinous scoundrels, after all, the proficiency points from "Sinful Blood" were simply too generous! Years later, the Abyssal Demon God descended, and the gods fell. In the despair of the entire world, I brushed off the dust from my tailcoat and looked at my blood bar that had grown to an uncountable length. "You... can break my defense?"

🏆 ["Sliver Medal" in System Category of "Meganovel Annual Writing Contest 2022"] 🏆 ‘Perhaps being stuck in a game isn’t so bad!’, Kyle thought moments before he was mistaken for a hidden boss by a rather dim, but quite powerful knight. That was the moment he learned what immediate regret meant. Kyle was an ordinary student at an insignificant university. Being the pinnacle of ‘average’, his life was as mundane as it could get, that is, until he found himself unable to log out of the full dive game that had recently released. Life in a game wasn’t too bad, that is if one’s not hunted day and night by the players, who mistook him for a special hidden boss with near human level A.I. And no amount of trying to convince them that he was, in fact, human helped. He survived a while until a knight kicked him though a boss door in a dungeon. Usually, facing a lich at such a low level would be a death sentence. By all means, it should have been. But lady luck smiled on him for once in his absolutely mundane life, and he found himself in the possession of said lich. About as confused as he can get, Kyle’s new life took a rather awkward and bizarre turn. And as such, his life of adventure fille with colourful and quirky characters, ferocious monsters and downright terrifying encounters began!

Guided by the enigmatic druid Ashake, tested by deadly rivals, and surrounded by loyal friends and dangerous enemies, Armand's journey will reshape the fate of nations.

In the foreboding realm of Vesperia, Daniel Solace, a valiant combatant, emerges as the protagonist within the Order of the Church. This militaristic organization, akin to a court order, operates under the Holy Father and 14 royal families, each aligned with a knight of the White Order. Their purpose is twofold: to prevent the escape of the seven deadly sins and thwart the agents of the apocalypse—the ominous Four Horsemen—intent on unraveling life itself. As Daniel delves into his role within the Church, the sacred halls become a battleground for the interplay between faith and darkness. The Chosen Blades, including Daniel, embark on perilous quests to retrieve relics hidden within the churches—artifacts echoing forgotten heroes and cataclysmic events. These relics hold the key to shaping destinies and standing against the malevolent influence of the looming apocalypse. However, not all within the Church's ranks are righteous. Hidden cults and covens exploit the vulnerability of the faithful, weaving a sinister tapestry that threatens the delicate balance between hope and forbidden knowledge. Unholy abominations, born from the twisted sorcery conducted within the sacred walls, further challenge Daniel and his comrades as they navigate the treacherous paths set before them. In Vesperia, Daniel Solace's journey unfolds against the backdrop of a looming apocalypse, where the Church's military might, the enigmatic relics, and the Chosen Blades become the last line of defense against the impending doom orchestrated by the Four Horsemen and the looming specter of the seven deadly sins.
