The Fallen Hero’s Abyss: Rebirth of the Cursed Alchemist

Kai Ashford was nobody special—average grades, average looks, invisible to everyone except the bullies. When his entire class is summoned to the world of Eldrathan to fight the Demon King Valgoreth, he’s given the “Synthesis” skill while his classmates receive S-tier combat classes: Archmage, Holy Knight, Dragon Tamer. The kingdom’s priests declare him a “support role at best,” and his classmates’ pity quickly turns to contempt. During their first dungeon raid into the Scarlet Catacombs, Daisuke Himura—the class’s golden-boy Hero—engineers Kai’s death. With a smile, Daisuke kicks Kai into the Abyssal Trench, a seventy-level death trap where even SSS-rank adventurers have perished. The kingdom writes Kai off as “collateral damage.” But the Abyss has its own rules. Starving and broken, Kai discovers his Synthesis skill’s true nature: it can absorb and transmute anything—including the flesh of the ancient monstrosities that lurk in the darkness. Each meal transforms him, granting their abilities, hardening his body, and eroding his humanity. His skin turns pale and scarred. His eyes glow crimson. His emotions calcify into cold pragmatism. On the 50th floor, he finds Seraphine Noctis, a vampire-demoness sealed for three thousand years by the very “Gods” who summoned the heroes. Beautiful, deadly, and starving, she offers a contract: blood for freedom. Their bond ignites in violence and passion—a relationship built on mutual need that burns into something darker and more obsessive. As Kai ascends from the Abyss, he uncovers the war’s terrible truth: the “Demon King” is defending the world from the Gods, who harvest hero souls as currency. The summoning was never about salvation—it’s a farming operation. And one of his classmates has been working for the Gods since before the summoning began. Now Kai must decide: rejoin the class that tried to murder him, or burn their holy war to ashes.

Etani

She was never chosen to save the world — she was forged to survive it. Etani is a half-fae assassin who knows exactly how the world works: power is taken, mercy is punished, and survival always comes at a cost. When fate drags her from the shadows into the center of political and divine conflict, she doesn’t rise as a heroine—she endures as a weapon. Stripped of her power, betrayed by courts and gods alike, and forced into leadership she never sought, Etani is repeatedly broken and reshaped by war, prophecy, and impossible choices. Each victory costs her something irreplaceable. Each failure forces her to become something colder, sharper, and more dangerous than before. As the stakes escalate from assassinations to crowns, and from kingdoms to gods, Etani must navigate betrayal, brutal power struggles, and dangerous alliances — all while resisting the slow erosion of her humanity. Survival demands sacrifice. Power demands blood. And destiny does not care who it destroys along the way. This is a dark epic fantasy of ruthless survival, morally complex choices, and a female lead who does not seek redemption — only control over the chaos determined to consume her. For fans of dark fantasy, morally grey characters, and stories where power is a double-edged sword, Etani is a tale of transformation, vengeance, and the thin line between predator and prey. 1.

Fate OutLaw

Fate Outlaw In the year 2016, the world stands on the brink of collapse—unaware. Hidden beneath modern society, the Mage’s Association and the Holy Church wage silent wars to preserve order. Vampires, gods, and ancient horrors are meant to remain buried in myth. Set within an anomalous fusion of the Fate and Tsukihime worldlines, Fate Outlaw follows Raphael Arzenon—a mage rejected by blood and destiny—whose life is overturned when a fragment of the Moon Cell Automaton from the Fate/Extra timeline becomes embedded within his existence. Unaffected by Gaia, Alaya, or planetary common sense, Raphael stands outside the laws of the world itself. Guided by Cielux, an intelligence born from forbidden information, he gains access to knowledge and power that should never exist in this reality. As vampires rise, the Church speaks lies in God’s name, and the boundaries between worldlines begin to collapse, Raphael is dragged into a war spanning planets, gods, and humanity’s future. With the True Ancestors awakening, the Reverse Side of the World bleeding into reality, and ancient authorities returning to reclaim dominion over mankind, survival demands more than righteousness. It demands rebellion. Hunted by magi, watched by gods, and feared by the planet itself, Raphael is forced to confront a single question: If this is what humanity offers him… should he protect it at all? So what will Raphael Arzenon decide to become— A savior. A monster. Or an outlaw who defies fate itself.

The black throne heir

At Obsidian Crown Academy, power is not inherited through blood alone it is measured in wealth, magic, and control. The richest heirs rule lecture halls like kingdoms, and the poorest students learn quickly how to stay invisible. Nyra Vale has mastered invisibility. Admitted on scholarship, she keeps her head down and her ambitions quiet in a world that was never built for someone like her. She believes survival depends on being unnoticed until the day Kael Morvane looks at her. Kael is the academy’s untouchable prince. At barely twenty, he is the youngest magical billionaire in history, the sole living anchor of the Aurum Vaults ancient, sentient banks whose power sustains nations and determines the rise and fall of economies. Kings negotiate with him. Professors defer to him. Students fear him. And Kael is forbidden from forming emotional attachments. His wealth is bound to his soul. Desire destabilizes magic. Love has collapsed empires before. Yet Nyra disrupts the system simply by existing. Forced into proximity through shared classes and restricted vault studies, Nyra begins to notice subtle changes around Kael contracts that glow, vaults that react, markets that tremble when he is near her. Kael, trained his entire life to control himself, begins breaking rules he never thought to question: watching her too closely, protecting her too quietly, standing too near. As the academy’s surveillance tightens and political forces move to exploit Kael’s instability, Nyra is pulled deeper into a world where money is alive, power listens, and her presence threatens everything Kael has been raised to protect. The closer they grow, the more the system pushes back, warning Kael that wanting her could cost millions of lives. Letting her go may destroy them both. In a world where love is a liability and power demands sacrifice, The Black Throne Heir is a dark, slow-burn fantasy about control, obsession, and the one variable no empire can ever calculate.
