Hero Of Darkness

Throughout the Myriad worlds, I alone shall stand at the top. Gods and demons shall all heed my summon. Aldrin Draca, the eldest son of the ancient dragon clan’s head, was born without a Zen core, making him incapable of learning the martial and esoteric arts vital to his society. When his younger brother tries to assassinate him, Aldrin unexpectedly unlocks his clan’s bloodline powers and awakens a mysterious spirit system, setting him on a path of growth, conflict, and discovery. With powers that attract enemies from both his own family and beyond, Aldrin escapes into other worlds, where he must learn new abilities, forge alliances, and ultimately return to prevent the destruction of his home.

"They called him Dustblood. Cursed. Worthless. But in the crypt’s darkness, something ancient whispered back." 2. "In a world where magic means everything, Elior has nothing—until the dead offer him a gift that should never be taken." 3. "Betrayed, humiliated, forgotten—until the shadows call his name." 4. "Magic made him an outcast. The dead will make him a weapon." 5. "The academy laughed when he fell. They won’t laugh when he rises from the crypt." 6. "Every gift in the kingdom came with a price. But Elior was willing to pay in blood."

Eduardo died as a loser on an old pier, beaten to a pulp for refusing to sell his wife’s honor. Yet an ancient artifact revived him through the System of Equivalent Exchange. Eduardo was granted the power to rule the criminal underworld, but at a horrifying price: every inch of power he seized had to be paid for with fragments of his own memories. From his last ragged breaths, Eduardo built an empire. From the blood of his enemies, he forged luxury for the family he loved. But as he climbed the throne as Italy’s supreme Godfather, he realized a bitter tragedy. The wealthier his family became, the more they turned into parasites, ravenous for riches and indifferent to Eduardo’s body as it slowly hollowed out. Amid betrayals of blood and the cold crack of a sniper’s bullet, Eduardo must choose: to die as a man forgotten, or to pass his darkness into the right womb. A blood debt can be repaid, but the price of a memory lasts forever.

Zenith was once the ‘Elite Cog,’ the pinnacle protector of Magitek, until he failed. His failure to detect an ancient poison curse trapped the Empress in stasis, costing him his identity. He now lives as the Exile Mechanic, a nihilistic junk scavenger who channels his pain solely through confusing, absurd jokes.

Forced to protect the teenage Crown Prince, he must balance the brutal ferocity of his military mode with the ridiculous buffoonery of his Exile persona.

To destroy this curse and reawaken the Empress, Zenith must stop running from himself.

Twenty years ago, nine heroes across the world fought the Monarch of Oblivion, a Godlike being who sought to erase humanity. Among them were Korea’s Han Seojin and Lee Mirae, one of the strongest of their generation. The Monarch fell, but his final words promised doom: “When the Monarch of Calamity returns, he will awaken the others. When peace blinds you… they will remind you of fear.” To the world, the heroes claimed victory and founded the World Hero School Competition, a global system said to train future defenders. In truth, it was a hidden plan created to find those capable of resisting the Monarchs when they ever rise again. Years later, their second child Han Jiwoo lives a quiet life in Seoul — unaware of his parents’ past or the secret buried within him. During his Awakening, his mana fractures the test crystal, revealing an impossible result: Dual-Class — Combat and Unknown. Unknown… the same signature as the Monarch of Oblivion's core but known to no one other than his parents and headmaster. Sent to Eclipse Academy, a once-glorious school now fallen from prestige, Jiwoo becomes the center of attention — admired, doubted, and watched. But when a fateful duel pushes him to the brink, his second power awakens, and within his consciousness, a forgotten voice speaks once more. Bound to the Monarch who once threatened humanity, Jiwoo must master the power that defies gods while forging his own path between light and void.
