Sanguis de Tenebris (Blood from Darkness)
Lucien Devaria was just another abandoned child, destined to be forgotten by the world. At the age of 14, he was betrayed by the very people who promised him a **new life** — sacrificed in an ancient **Hero Summoning Ritual**, left broken and crippled in a cursed wasteland. The ritual was meant to call forth a hero to save the world, but instead, it malfunctioned, awakening something far darker.
Alone and abandoned, Lucien discovers that the ritual granted him **forbidden power** — a power born from suffering, betrayal, and loss. With each painful step he takes, Lucien’s soul is branded by the **Soulbrands**: ancient marks that give him unimaginable abilities, but at the cost of his humanity, his memories, and his very soul.
Now, pretending to be weak and powerless, Lucien plans his revenge against those who betrayed him. But as the **Soulbrands** corrupt him further, he begins to question whether he will **save the world** or **destroy it**. Torn between his thirst for vengeance and the lingering traces of his lost humanity, Lucien must navigate a world on the brink of chaos, filled with monsters, corrupt kings, and gods who care little for the lives of mortals.
In a world where trust is a **luxury** and the **light of hope** is fading, Lucien will have to decide whether he will rebuild what’s been broken — or become the **darkness** that consumes everything
