Faking It With Damien Black

He was born a traitor’s son. The academy branded him a failure. But an ancient king’s soul calls him Master. Seventeen year old Kael Ashford arrives at the prestigious Dragonspire Academy with nothing but a patched tunic and the heavy burden of his family's disgraced name. Branded as the son of the kingdom’s ultimate traitor, he expects to be rejected during the public Bonding Ceremony. He expects to return to his starving border village in shame. He does not expect a legendary, midnight-scaled black dragon,a beast thought to be dead for centuries,to crash through the glass dome, bow in absolute submission, and call him "Your Majesty." Before Kael can claim his destiny, a cloaked assassin slits the dragon's throat, and a forbidden royal crest burns itself permanently into Kael's chest. Sentenced to the damp, rotten Discard Dorms with the academy’s lowest failures, Kael quickly realizes the dragon isn’t completely gone,its powerful consciousness is alive inside his mind, acting as a secret mentor. To survive the murderous gaze of Headmaster Vance and the cold, vengeful blade of the brilliant Lyra Voss, Kael must fake his weakness while secretly siphoning forbidden magic. But as he uses a stolen silver key to unlock the ancient, hidden ruins built directly beneath the school, he uncovers a dark laboratory that shatters the history of the kingdom. Deep within the academy's forbidden underbelly stands a cage of pure magical energy. And resting inside it, is a boy who shares his exact face,a perfect duplicate whose pitch-black eyes are wide awake, whispering a dark warning that will change everything.

Before the world crumbled, there was the so-called all-giving light. A tremendous blast of white and black glow broke through the skies, engulfing the earth and raining drops of what looked like stardust. It was an unexplainable phenomenon. Everyone thought it was a new weapon of mass destruction that had lost control, being tested by the countries that held superpowers. Thus the beginning of a short little skirmish between them as they tried to blame one another for it. But then, while the world was at war between themselves, it began. It started with certain people suddenly developing godly powers. Some had super strength, others were unparalleled speed and so on, making the conflict continue with a unique twist. Everything was now engulfed in chaos, destruction, and anarchy as new rulers rose and the old was slowly being replaced and disposed of. And during this time, a young Chris Cruz is thrust into the world of power struggle because of his need to provide for his family. Being deemed as an irregularity for having so much energy, yet with no proper use, they considered him a dud, a waste, and a totally worthless case. Thus, they keep him in the research division to serve as a guinea-pig for finding out more about the said phenomena. With no choice as a soldier, he is forced into missions and predicaments that put his life on the line. And throughout all these obstacles, the power in him slowly adapts, but at the same time, all of it begins to consume him. Will Chris be able to stay as he was? Or will everything completely change him? As the world starts to look different from his point of view with each awakening, eating every piece of his humanity away.

The Last Dragon Knight has been born, and misfortune looms over the lands of Dorlan like a shadow foretelling a tragic end. His power can open a portal to the Abyss and unleash an apocalyptic war, leaving the world at the mercy of demons. This has reached the ears of the acolytes of the Brotherhood of the Black Flame, who wish to fulfill the prophecy and will seek to capture him now that he is just a child. The pieces of a macabre game have begun to move in the shadows, and war is imminent. Hope rests on the knight Kalen ‘Fal, who, accompanied by a surly warrior and an elven assassin, and guided through wild lands by an ex-mercenary of dubious reputation, must protect the newborn at all costs in a world full of betrayals, bloodshed, and ruthless cruelty, with civilization hanging by a thread… What to expect (and what not): 🛡️ No game mechanics, no stat screens — This isn't litRPG. It's a grounded, character-driven fantasy. ⚔️ Fallen heroes, not flawless ones — The protagonist is a paladin... but the light might not always follow him. 🐉 Prophecies, yes—but never what you'd expect — The "chosen one" might not even be human. Or a hero. 🔥 Dark cults, undead armies, and orcs with purpose. Even monsters have stories. 🧠 Politics, betrayal, and silent wars — Swords clash, but daggers in the dark cut deeper. 🐢 A slow burn with real consequences — This is a long game. Growth takes time. Pain leaves scars. Trust is earned. 💔 Emotional weight — There will be grief, love, guilt, and sacrifice. For new readers: If you're here for fast battles and instant power-ups, this may not be your story. But if you're willing to walk through ashes, you'll find fire.

For three years, Ethan Cole has endured life as the laughingstock of the Dawson family—scrubbing their floors, bearing their insults, and fading into the background of their lives as a mere nobody.

Now, Ethan will rise again— not as an insignificant son-in-law, but as the formidable heir that the world fears. Power. Respect. Revenge. The throne he once forsook is waiting for him.

Ace thought he could fuck his ex and walk away clean. One night in that cheap motel with Lena was supposed to be just a mistake. One raw, desperate fuck where she rode him like she owned his soul, her scorching velvet pussy gripping him so tight he forgot his own name.

He loved her quietly. He healed her when no other doctor could. He stayed up through countless nights just to give her the one thing she wanted most — a child. She planned to marry him. They were three weeks away from making it official. Then she walked into his office with another man’s baby in her belly and a breakup check in her hand. Maelie Logan chose power over love. She chose the heir of a pharmaceutical empire over the man who rebuilt her from the inside out. She offered him money, threatened him with a false lawsuit, and told him to disappear, without making a scene. She thought he would beg. He didn’t. She thought he would fall apart. He didn’t do that either. He just smiled, refused the check, and walked out. What Maelie never counted on is that the man she threw away is not who she thinks he is.

The system chose everyone. Except him. Noah Kane failed his awakening test three times. No system. No rank. No future as a hunter. Just a government classification that read NULL and a world that had already moved on without him. When a Rift opens during a routine escort job and every licensed hunter dies in minutes, Noah is left bleeding in the wreckage beside a girl he has never met. He reaches for her not knowing why. The system that activates in that moment is nothing like anything registered in the GRA database. No blue interface. No standard skill tree. Just black text on a background the color of deep space and a single offer: Consume what you kill. Keep everything they had. Noah Kane can devour monsters. Their power. Their abilities. Their bloodlines. Their memories. Every enemy becomes a stepping stone with no visible ceiling. But the system also did something he never asked for. The girl Sera Vane is now bound to his soul. Alive because of him. Unable to be separated from him without killing them both. She is furious, brilliant, and the only person who understands his system well enough to keep it from destroying him. Now hunted by governments who want to dissect his system, guilds who want to weaponize it, and ancient entities from beyond the Rifts who seem terrified of what he is becoming, Noah has one advantage none of his enemies have accounted for. He is trying to understand why his dead father built this system and hid it inside his son. The answer will change everything he thinks he knows about the Rifts, about Earth, and about the girl he cannot walk away from. They trained for years to become hunters. He was born to devour.
