đź“– Arc 1: The Awakening of the Eternal Nemesis
(Chapters 1–5: Betrayal → Awakening → First Blood → Alliance → Oath of Vengeance)
Chapter 1: Betrayal and Death
Theme: Despair, shock, and rage.
Draven Kael, commander and loyal brother to King Alaric, leads the final defense of the capital.
He discovers that his wife, Lyra, has betrayed him with Alaric.
His men are slaughtered due to an intentional sabotage.
Draven confronts Alaric, but is struck down.
As he dies, he sees gods laughing at his despair.
System Awakens:
[ SSS-Rank System Detected: Eternal Nemesis ]
[ Quest Generated: Slay the Gods Who Mock You. ]
Cliffhanger: Draven's soul is pulled into a void of shattered stars.
Chapter 2: The Eternal Nemesis System
Theme: First glimpse of power.
In the void, he meets the "System Interface"—cold, mechanical, yet mocking like Loki.
Tutorial: Fate Trajectory shows possible futures → all lead to his defeat.
He's offered the Fate Break Protocol: the ability to reject destiny by burning "Hatred Points."
[ Skill Unlocked: Nemesis Authority – Break Fate. ]
[ Passive: Hatred = Power. ]
He's reborn in a different realm—a broken battlefield in a new continent.
Encounters a monstrous beast → the system predicts: [ You die in 10 seconds. ]
Cliffhanger: He roars "I reject fate!" and activates the system for the first time.
Chapter 3: The Cursed Princess
Theme: Suspicion and temptation.
After barely defeating the beast, Draven collapses.
He's found by Selene Aurelion, the Cursed Princess—beautiful, powerful, but doomed to corrupt anyone who stays by her side.
Their chemistry is instant but hostile (lust vs distrust).
Selene senses the system's divine origin and warns him that gods will hunt him.
[ New Quest: Protect the Cursed Princess (Failure = Soul Devoured). ]
Cliffhanger: Selene whispers: "If you stay near me, you'll either love me… or kill me."
Chapter 4: First Defiance
Theme: Draven proves his power.
A squad of Fate-bound knights (servants of the Goddess of Fate) arrive to kill Selene.
System reveals: [ Fate Trajectory: You will die protecting her. ]
Draven rejects it, rewriting destiny mid-battle.
Uses [ Nemesis Authority ] to steal his enemy's skill.
Selene is shocked—he's not just defying fate, he's breaking it.
[ Reward: Hatred Multiplier Increased. ]
Cliffhanger: After victory, Selene kneels, not in submission, but in acknowledgment: "Perhaps… you really are cursed like me."
Chapter 5: The Oath of Vengeance
Theme: The formation of a bond.
Draven learns Selene's backstory: her curse is tied to the gods' amusement, much like his betrayal.
The two realize they were both pawns of divine games.
Selene offers an alliance: "If you want to slay the gods, you'll need me."
System Notification: [ Nemesis Path Activated: First Companion Acquired. ]
Draven carves his vow in blood before Selene: "I will not rest until every god screams as I once screamed."
Cliffhanger: Unknown to them, the Goddess of Fate watches, furious, and sends her chosen champion after them.
