Hero Of Darkness

Kael Von was living a normal life, until a strange accident, a mysterious man, and a midnight invitation changed everything. He’s taken to Eclipsera Academy, a secret school built to train warriors who fight monsters from the Abyss. While others possess the Pure Blood, Kael carries something no one has, DRAGON BLOOD. He doesn’t know why he has them, or what he’s truly meant to be, but keeping this a secret is the first step to staying alive. Now that the monsters are getting stronger, and the Darkness is awakening, the world would need to be saved again.

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.

Just because of a prophecy, the Divine Dao toyed with the Universe as it pleased. It created endless cycles of destruction and rebirth, caring nothing for the lives of trillions within it. Ironically, all of this was done because of a prophecy that foretold the birth of a young man from the lower world who would one day kill it. *** Jhi Chen… with his sword, he split the earth, pierced the heavens, and slew both Gods and Demons. “No matter if they are Gods, Demons, or even the Dao itself. If there is no justice for all living beings, I will destroy it! Remember this name, Jhi Chen!”

James has spent his entire life believing that hatred is the only thing keeping him alive. Born into poverty and shaped by a childhood marked by loss, betrayal, and violence, James learned early that the world does not reward the weak. Alongside his closest friend, Todd, he survived the darkness of the slums and grew into a man who understands humanity better than most. He knows what people will do for money. He knows what fear can make them become. And above all, he knows beneath every noble mask lies the same primitive desires—fear, greed, pride, love, and survival. But James is about to discover some things are far more dangerous than human nature. It begins in a cursed jungle. What was supposed to be a search for hidden treasure becomes a nightmare when James and his companions awaken an ancient evil that has been waiting in the darkness for decades.

Before she disappears, she reveals a truth that will change the course of his life forever. James is connected to an ancient power. And somewhere in the world exists a mysterious stone capable of granting unimaginable power—but every gift it offers comes with a price. James believes he has escaped the jungle. He is wrong. The nightmare has only begun. Far from the cursed wilderness, another world is preparing to descend into chaos. The Pitch is a powerful global syndicate built on wealth, blood, fear, and absolute control. At its center stands Arthur, the Fallen Patriarch—a ruthless man who has spent decades constructing an empire powerful enough to make nations tremble. But Arthur's empire is about to collapse.

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. However, when the Caledonian witch clans invade, Zenith’s ragged form can no longer conceal the Warlord’s combat memories. 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. Fleeing across the Kingdom, Zenith and the Prince uncover a secret darker than his initial failure: the failure was not a mechanical glitch, but the work of ancient fate bound by the King’s Forbidden Oath. To destroy this curse and reawaken the Empress, Zenith must stop running from himself. He must learn to embrace the duality of the Warlord and the Clown, organize the remaining Magitek Legions, and prove that sometimes, the best way to maintain sanity against the horrors of war is to turn them into a joke.
