dark

When seventeen-year-old Damon Vale lost his mother, his whole world cracked—not with grief, but with an impossible truth. Damon is no longer just a high schooler dealing with gangs and betrayal; he is the secret descendant of the celestial Queen of Woewyn, a realm where memory, time, and spirit intertwine. Raised on Earth by a mother who lied to save his life, Damon is burdened by a forbidden power that literally bends light and is constantly on the verge of purging his own body. Now, ancient gods and demons are pouring onto Earth, some disguised as humans, Chronisouls— some torment, some help. For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that burns him from the inside out, or watch his life on Earth, including the one girl who sees past his walls, shatter forever. From quiet rooftops to cosmic wars, Damon must discover if saving existence means losing the fragile human he was trying to be.

By day, he is an ordinary student struggling with exams, friendships, and a future he doesn’t understand. By night, a curse awakens — forcing him to become a wolf bound to protect a city that doesn’t know his name. As dark forces rise and secrets surface, he must choose between breaking the curse or embracing the monster within.

They say "Heavy is the head that wears the crown." ​Lies. ​Heavy is the head of the guy who has to pay for the crown after his idiot brother smashed the previous King into paste. ​My name is Wilhelm Storm. I am the illegitimate son of a noble House, the stain on the family tapestry, and the newly appointed Master of Coin for a city with zero gold, negative food reserves, and an army that wants to hang us. ​We are the Usurpers. My brother sits on a stolen throne, but the real war isn't on the battlefield. It's in the treasury. ​The Granary just burned down (sabotage, obviously). ​The Dragons of the Firelands have blockaded our trade routes. ​The Archbishop is a lunatic who thinks flaying skin is a form of prayer. ​And the Nobility is smiling at us while sharpening knives under the table. ​But the real kicker? The System. ​In this world, mana isn't free. You don't meditate to get it back. You eat. You metabolize. You bleed. ​Want to cast a Fireball? That’ll cost you a steak dinner and a nosebleed. Want to teleport? Hope you don't mind losing a liter of blood and passing out in front of your enemies. ​I have a Spirit Level of 19, a Body Level of "Peasant," and a council that includes a child-Pope, a seven foot tank who thinks I’m squishy, and a King who is too busy mourning to rule. ​I can't out fight the knights. I can't out-magic the Archangels. So I have to out-think them. I have to cook the books, bribe the gods, and steal dragon eggs to make the world's biggest omelet before the peasants eat us alive. ​Welcome to the Moonclaw. Politics is just war without the mercy. ​What to expect: ​Hardcore LitRPG: Magic relies on biology. Blood volume, caloric intake, and body temperature matter. No free power ups. ​Game of Thrones meets Dungeon Crawler Carl: High-stakes political intrigue, backstabbing nobles, and brutal warfare mixed with dark humor and a System that actively hates you. ​Survival Kingdom Building: It’s not just about building walls; it’s about finding enough protein to stop the city from starving. ​The Smartest Rat in the Room: Wilhelm survives by using physics, accounting fraud, and dirty tricks against enemies who are ten times stronger. ​Brutal Combat & Dungeon Dives: From commanding armies in city wide sieges to hunting Ice Golems in the sewers for loot. If it has a health bar, we will kill it.

In the dark alleys of eastern New York, power isn’t given—it’s taken.

As Tywin Lannister’s second son and heir to Casterly Rock, Tyrion grew up spoiled and unrestrained. He’s tall, handsome, and carries long pale-gold hair that gleams faintly silver under the night.

Countless lovers surround him, yet—does he truly love only one? A harem or a single heart? Magic, dragons, White Walkers, Citadel plots—no system, low magic, close to canon.
