Remorse Family

He just stops needing them at all.

My life was a lie. I was a corporate drone, a cog in the machine, living a life of quiet desperation. Then my "father" died, leaving me a single key and a final, cryptic message: "The truth is in the blood." That truth shattered my world. I am not a nobody. I am the last heir to the Obsidian Throne, a secret lineage that has secretly controlled the world's shadows for millennia, wielding a power my family called the "Dominion." But the throne is cursed and the legacy is a bloody one. My inheritance was stolen, my family was murdered, and the architect of my ruin is the man my parents trusted most. Now, I'm a ghost in a world of high-stakes conspiracy. I have the key—an ancient artifact that binds to my soul, granting me a fragment of my family's power—and a burning need for vengeance. To claim what is mine, I must tear down the secret empire built on my family's bones. I will fight, manipulate, and kill my way through the criminal underworld and the glittering halls of the ultra-rich. They think they killed the last of my bloodline. They are about to learn that you cannot kill a king. The reckoning is coming, and it will be paid in blood.

David Myles is known throughout Asterion as a powerless doctor—the forsaken heir of a fallen family whose Dragon bloodline supposedly died a century ago. Even the influential Sterling family considers him unworthy of Janet Sterling, his fiancée and the celebrated Emerald Saintess. They have no idea that David’s weakness is a carefully guarded secret. Within him lives the Primordius Dragon, the legendary golden Dragon connected to the origin of all Dragon Energy. Revealing it would expose David to the same hidden forces that destroyed his ancestors and erased House Myles from history. But when David is publicly humiliated, betrayed by those he trusted, and framed for the death of a Sterling elder, remaining hidden is no longer possible. His enemies want him imprisoned, his family disgraced, and the last Myles heir eliminated. As the Black Templars begin their conquest across the realms and the Five Azarian Rings resurface, David must reclaim his family’s stolen legacy, uncover the truth behind the missing Primordius Heart, and master a power capable of uniting—or destroying—the Seven Dragon Houses. The man Asterion rejected is about to become the Dragon Lord every realm will fear.
