Rarebloods: Knights of the Shadows
In a world that mirrors our own, where history has been shaped by selective memory and convenient ignorance, the myths of humanity were never inventions. Gods exist. Magic endures. Demons that feed on the lives of higher intelligent beings roam unseen. Yet to the vast majority of humanity, the world remains ordinary, governed by familiar laws and daily routines. The existence of gods, demons, and other races is hidden so completely that only a negligible fraction of humans are even capable of suspecting the truth.
Kyle was never meant to be unaware of this truth.
Born as a son of the Supreme Commander of the United Races Alliance, Kyle belongs to a lineage that currently stands at the very heart of the world’s hidden order. The United Races Alliance is a neutral authority created by the gods themselves to maintain balance among all races and mythological systems. It is neither benevolent nor tyrannical, but impartial, enforcing equilibrium where imbalance threatens existence. Its ranks are composed of beings from countless origins: gods, demigods, dragons, and other high races, alongside a minute percentage of humans and high humans who have been permitted to learn the truth. These humans represent an almost invisible minority within the greater human population, carefully selected and tightly monitored to ensure secrecy is preserved. Within the Alliance, Bishops serve as Monitors, observers and enforcers tasked with ensuring that laws governing gods, realms, and races are neither violated nor exposed.
Above all divine systems exists a higher order known as the Seventeen Primordial Gods. This council consists of the most prominent gods drawn from each major mythology, beings who stand above Named Gods themselves. Their role is not governance, but oversight, maintaining balance among gods and preventing any single pantheon or ideology from dominating existence. The United Races Alliance operates under the cosmic authority of this higher order, acting as the mechanism through which balance is preserved across all realms, while remaining completely concealed from the world at large.
Kyle is not human. From an early age, he is made aware of who and what he is.
A demigod by classification, Kyle descends from a bloodline of exceptional power. His father is a ranked god, one of the strongest of his order, and his closest allies are ranked gods of similar standing. Above them exist the Named Gods, the deities known across mythologies and legends, who occupy the highest tier of the divine hierarchy beneath the Primordials. Beneath ranked gods are demigods, beings whose diluted divinity still places them far beyond mortal limits. Even among gods and high races, access to full knowledge of this structure is restricted, known only to those whose roles demand it.
What truly distinguishes Kyle, however, is not lineage alone.
A prodigious genius with a piercing intellect, Kyle possesses an extraordinary capacity for learning and adaptation. His mind operates at a level that sets him apart even among elites, allowing him to grasp complex systems, ancient knowledge, and unfamiliar powers with alarming speed. In battle, his brilliance manifests as an exceptionally high combat intelligence, an instinctive understanding of timing, positioning, and enemy intent that places his battle IQ on an entirely different plane.
The story follows Kyle’s adventures across the world and beyond it. As a foreigner to no land yet bound to all of them, he explores distant regions, forgotten realms, and ancient domains tied to every mythology humanity has ever believed in. These journeys unfold entirely beyond the perception of ordinary humans, who continue their lives unaware that such realms and beings exist alongside their own reality.
