Monarch of Darkness System
Damian didn't escape the end of his world. He survived it.
Reborn into the gilded cage of House Snow—a minor noble family on a backwater planet where magic is systematized and affinities are graded from F to SSS—he awakens with a shattered soul and the whispers of a forbidden power: the Monarch of Darkness System.
In this world, he is Damian Snow, an unawakened, disappointing third son. But within him resides the cruel, calculating mind of a man who watched a planet die, fueled by a singular vow: to heal his soul, reclaim the devastating shadow affinity locked within it, and find the scattered companions who made his survival possible.
Yet, his new home is no sanctuary. His stepmother's smile is as cold as her hidden magic, which reeks of necrotic light and a terrible secret tied to his mother's tomb. A world-spanning cult, the Shadow Vatican, moves in the shadows, perverting sacred light to craft an undead empire. Demons seep through rifts from dying worlds, and ancient powers slumber beneath the soil.
Armed only with a child's body, a broken soul, and a System that brands him an unregistered anomaly, Damian must navigate a deadly game. He will manipulate arrogant heirs, unearth cursed relics hidden in filth, and trade bone-breaking pain for slivers of power. He will learn that to conquer the darkness without, he must first embrace the darkness within.
This is the story of a Monarch's ascent from the ashes. It is a tale of ruthless action, bloody vengeance, twisted romance, and the faint, stubborn light of loyalty that refuses to be extinguished—even in the cruelest of hearts.
