When the world first heard the name Alden Dreyse, it was already a whisper The orphan who inherited a manor no one could find, and a wand no one had made. Hidden within its silver-green halls, Alden uncovers the scattered writings of Gellert Grindelwald and a single idea that consumes him: Magic is not light or dark; only intent defines it. From his third year at Hogwarts to the war-torn decades that follow, Emerald Veins traces the rise of a boy who studies where others fear to think, perfects what others call forbidden, and learns that mastery without empathy is the purest form of ruin. Friend to none, heir to everything, Alden Dreyse becomes the mirror through which the wizarding world sees its own reflection and names him the third Dark Lord. Magic is a mirror. What it shows depends on who dares to look. A tale of philosophy disguised as wizardry, of knowledge turned to isolation, and of the mind that sought to free magic from morality even if it meant burning with it.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● My tears fell in silence, without even daring to sob… until his tall shadow fell across the threshold. He stepped inside. Slowly. Heavily. His eyes… locked onto mine. The same eyes people said carried the scent of blood, burdened with a dark and haunted past. I was afraid of him… everyone was afraid of him. And yet, I was certain that behind that predatory gaze, another truth existed. His fingers, trembling with hesitation, reached for my face. His touch was so gentle that it was hard to believe those same hands had once clenched the cold hilt of a Jiàn (剑), [a double-edged Chinese sword]. He stared into my eyes… but he did not see me. I could sense it… With longing, he pulled me against his chest, as though he wished to chain my soul to his own. My fear dissolved. I was calm. I clutched at his clothes and found stillness in the chill of his embrace... in the arms of the devil! He carried secrets too heavy for the earth to bury, and perhaps some men are better left forgotten!

Danny is an *Ancient Demi High Human Alpha*, also known as the *Luminaries Primordial Alpha*, a being who has lived for countless millennia. His magical power are vast, yet he chooses to use only simple abilities in daily life — super speed, strength, defense, regeneration, flight, invisibility, teleportation, and even instant cash when needed. Extremely cautious, he always scans his surroundings for witnesses or hidden cameras before using magic. Despite the ease with which he could become a tycoon, he finds such power boring. Instead, he prefers to live quietly, low key, and experience the modern world as an ordinary human. What the world calls magic… Danny remembers as infancy. He existed before structured mana systems, before academies, before ranking pillars tried to categorize power into numbers. In an age where reality was raw and unfiltered, he was not a student of magic — he was one of the forces that shaped how magic learned to behave. Fragments of ancient civilizations still carry echoes of him in myths: a silent traveler, a witness to collapses, a guardian who intervened only when extinction stood at the door. Entire bloodlines unknowingly descend from moments where he chose to spare a city instead of letting history erase it. But immortality breeds a unique fatigue. After watching empires rise and rot in repeating patterns, Danny stopped searching for meaning in dominance. The modern era fascinates him not because it is powerful, but because it is fragile. Humans pretending to control forces they barely understand amuse him more than any war ever did. The academy is not a goal. It is entertainment. A controlled ecosystem where ambition, fear, pride, and desperation collide in predictable ways. To him, it is a living experiment — a place to observe how this generation dances with power. Yet beneath his boredom lies instinct. Danny recognizes movements others cannot see: hidden organizations shifting pieces, forbidden rituals resurfacing under new names, cult structures repeating ancient mistakes he watched destroy worlds before. He does not intervene immediately. He never does. He waits. Because history has taught him one rule: Civilizations reveal their true nature only when they believe no one is watching. And Danny has mastered the art of pretending to be human long enough to let them forget.

Listen to me closely. Never, and I mean NEVER, leave a hate comment on a game forum right before you die. My name used to be... well, it doesn't matter. I was a 34-year-old salaryman who died in the stupidest way possible. How? I got slapped to death for grabbing a high school girl’s "assets". Wait, hold on! Don't look at me like that! It wasn't my fault, okay? My hand just moved on its own! It was just a tiny, split-second intrusive thought! Come on, you guys reading this—don't act like saints. You’ve had those dark urges too, right? You’ve wanted to grab something forbidden at least once in your life, right?! RIGHT?! Anyway, she slapped me. So hard my soul literally ejected from my body. I thought that was the punishment. I was wrong. When I opened my eyes, I was in [Legends of Valtheris]. Yes, that trash game. The one with the cliché plot where the world ends because some teenage students get their hearts broken. And the worst part? I didn't become the Hero. I didn't become the Villain. I became Revan von Alstaire. The background character. The loser. The guy I literally insulted online five minutes before I died. I called him a "Simp" and laughed at his "Tiny D*ck." Fate is truly a comedian. Now, I’m destined to be the bullied lackey of the future Villainess, Sylvia von Vespera. The game script says I should lick her boots, accept her abuse, and die with her like a loyal dog. Screw that. Remember my last comment? "Revan is such a loser! Tiny dck! If I were you, instead of bowing down, I would squeeze her boobs and own her completely! Garbage character!" Well, it seems God took that personally. Fine. You want a show? I’ll give you a show. I won’t be a simp. I won’t filter my words anymore. I’ll let my intrusive thoughts win. I’ll turn this trash plot upside down—even if I have to slap every "Genius" in this academy to do it.

In Argent, you have twenty one years to live. On your twenty first birthday, the System assigns you an ability and teleports you beyond the barrier. So far, only four people have ever survived the exile. The reason? The outside is filled with Corruptors, and Corruptors cannot be harmed. They are forces of nature. Walking disasters. You don’t fight them. You just pray they don’t find you. Allaran knows this. He’s known it his whole life. An orphan raised in the warehouses, he spent his days hauling crates from loaders to shelves. Useless work for a useless boy. He made peace with dying long before he ever learned to hope. Then his twenty first birthday came. His ability manifested. Switch. The power to change the location of two things. A joke. A warehouse clerk’s trick in a world where survival depends on being extraordinary. What he didn’t know was that his useless power could do something no one had ever done before. Kill the unkillable. The Corruptor’s head landed in his hands. The eye blinked once. Twice. Then went still.

Ixion, an avid player of the hit game LR(Limitless Retries), had just beat the final boss, then he was swallowed by a terrifyingly bright light and throw into LR. The only problem. Ixion had never beaten the game without the little cheat he'd used to continuously boost the players stats. At least he knew the ending, right. Well, the ending happened to be a human-less wasteland caused by the very Hero you play as, who after losing everyone in the final fight, flattens the world in and unchangeable cutscene. Then you might say "Just kill the hero before he can destroy the world." I would've, only if that Hero didn't posses a limitless regression ability. And contrasting other regressor Hero's, this one isn't afraid of suicide to accomplish what he wants. So, the question still remains. How do you kill a Hero of Limitless Retries. and broken abilities?
