Devil's Maniac

From the world of Vanguards: Elite comes a new story — one that doesn’t follow heroes, but the making of a devil. Set years before Daniel’s rise, this tale unravels the path of a man who would one day stand above Velmont itself. Orphaned young, marked by tragedy, and gifted with a mind that sees the rot hidden in every smile, his life is a quiet descent into truths no one dares to face. What begins as survival soon twists into something larger — a journey through betrayal, violence, and the shadows of power. This is not a story about reaching the top. It is the story of what happens when loss, silence, and the weight of the world carve someone into the kind of leader people fear, yet follow. The Mystic Rift Saga continues. Before there was the legend of Shadow Legion, there was him — the Devil’s Maniac.
