The Shadow Patriarch’s Rebirth: Cast Aside as the Weakest, I Returned
In the human-ruled world of Kuasha, where noble bloodlines and swordsmanship define destiny, Celsius Valerius is born into one of the most powerful duke families—yet is branded the weakest heir. Secretly crippled by his jealous elder brothers and unable to awaken his bloodline, Celsius grows up ignored by tradition and targeted by ambition, finding warmth only from his eldest sister and a loyal servant.
Banished after failing the sacred family trial, Celsius is hunted, betrayed, and killed. At the brink of death, he forms a forbidden contract with Eridiaries, the Shadow God, and is reborn into his own family with memories intact. Hiding his awakening shadow authority, Celsius endures suffering, trials, and assassination attempts while secretly growing stronger—mastering shadow, magic, and martial combat forbidden to his house.
As demons invade, cultists rise, and kingdoms take notice, Celsius becomes a decisive force in war and politics. The truth of his past is revealed, his stolen bloodline unsealed, and his brothers judged. Standing before his father and the Patriarch’s Sword, Celsius proves that strength is not inherited—but forged. From the weakest heir cast aside, he rises as the chosen successor, destined to become the Shadow Patriarch and reshape the fate of the world.
