He Who Dies By The Blade, Verily Shall Live In Chains

A phantom of vengeance, a ghost of war, such titles would be befitting to Letifer Mourse.  Denied peace in death, Letifer is damned to walk the living plane, until vengeance is wrought unto those who defiled him, and although he seeks no such thing, it seems his vengeance may very well seek him.  In the wake of a dastardly necrotic plague, the fanatical designs of a maddened zealot, and a war of the undead nearly a century in the making, Letifer finds himself condemned not only to endure the land of the living, but to face the undead that would stain it...

Synopsis:

In a world where ancient powers stir beneath the surface and forgotten kingdoms vie for dominance, Devian Till Dawn follows the journey of Parah, an enigmatic warrior whose fate is intertwined with the celestial forces of the universe. On his 100th birthday, Parah undergoes a life-changing transformation. The Aurora, a mystical phenomenon said to grant unearthly powers, awakens within him, bestowing upon him unimaginable abilities. With the power of the Aurora coursing through his veins, Parah becomes more than a man—he becomes a force destined to shape the future of the land.

But such power comes with a cost. The Aurora is not just a gift but a burden—its secrets have been guarded for millennia, and now ancient enemies, long thought extinct, rise from the shadows. Chief among them are the Devians, a relentless race hell-bent on reclaiming the world as their own. The Devian King, a being of immense darkness, rallies his army to destroy the last remnants of humanity and conquer the lands once ruled by their ancestors.

Parah, joined by a band of adventurers, embarks on a perilous quest to uncover the truth behind the Aurora and unlock its full potential before the Devian King unleashes destruction upon the world. His companions include Lilli, the Holy Sword's Maiden, whose blade is blessed by the gods; Tsukiko and Yumeka, Parah’s loyal maids with a mysterious past; Saigo, the wise and powerful Great Mage, who serves as the group's protector and strategist; Yohei, the ever-faithful butler, who serves Saigo and supports the party with both strength and wisdom; and Yuna, Parah’s spirited younger sister, who watches her brother grow into a hero with awe and devotion.

As Parah journeys deeper into forgotten lands, visions of an ancient battle—a time when gods and mortals fought side by side—begin to haunt him. These visions lead him to a deeper understanding of the Aurora, hinting that his destiny is tied not only to the fate of the present but to the very origins of creation itself. Yet, with every step, the darkness of the Devian King draws nearer, and Parah must decide what kind of hero he will become—one who embraces the power of the Aurora for good, or one consumed by its potential for destruction.

The clock is ticking, and the dawn of battle approaches. Will Parah and his companions rise to the challenge, or will the world fall beneath the shadow of the Devians once again? Devian Till Dawn is a story of destiny, power, and the choices that define us in the face of overwhelming odds.

"I'm dangerous," he warned me.

"You think you're so pretty, don't you?" I wondered.

"I am pretty, and you know it." He smirked.

I smiled. "You're hotter with blood covering you."

"Well... I am hungry." He leaned down further, breath heating my neck as I closed my eyes. "Very hungry."

I squeezed my legs together, waiting for him to dip down and slice his teeth into my neck... the sweet venom running through me... adrenaline.

"I can hear your pulse throbbing," he whispered gently. "It's quickening as we speak. Do you want to say something?"

I was quiet for a moment, breath shuttering as his teeth lightly nipped at my skin. "Bite me," I begged him, "I need it."

Princess Alice wasn't who she seemed, no... and neither was the prince she was about to marry.

Vampires? No. Demons who feast on blood? Yes.

And she loved it when Elias bit her, she longed for it each night, demanding that she'd be his only food source. It was a sense of love... in her own twisted way.

But we're all twisted, aren't we?

We long for things that don't belong to us, that don't exist, and we do very bad things to get them.

Power, rage, equality.

All comes with a price.

But the price of Elias didn't matter, he was dangerous, a coldblooded monster, but Alice didn't care; because she claimed him the night she set eyes on him...

And she was a monster, too.

The price of power, however, overtook Alice's father, and he became a cruel, heartless monster. In a very different way than Elias. In a cold, painful, villainous way.

Alice would've never thought that her father would be at the other end of her blade.

And she was on the end of Elias's for the wave of adrenaline.

But he would never go for the kill, just the thrill.

Her father, however, might just be gone already. She'd be safer then.

She just had to push the blade forward.

Gone like the wind...

Elias's favorite phrase.

In the world of Empyrea, the once-bright future has been reduced to ashes. The Æbyssal Triumvirate has entered into the realm and ravaged the land and corrupted its people with the hammer that the Covenant of the Void was allowed to become over time.

Summary:

Gora was once a thriving city, a beacon of trade and civilization on the edge of the vast Unnamed Plains. But now, it lies trapped—encircled by an ever-shifting, ivory labyrinth that no one can escape.

For months, Captain Reiner and his soldiers have fought to break through the maze’s twisting walls. Every mission into the labyrinth ends in disaster, as the paths shift with a cruel intelligence, cutting off hope and claiming the lives of men. The city of Gora, barely visible through the towering maze, is cut off from the world, its people starving, its fate unknown.

As Captain Reiner prepares to lead another group of men into the labyrinth, he faces a dire choice—risk everything on a dangerous gamble to breach the maze and save the city, or accept that Gora may be lost forever. But the labyrinth isn’t just a prison. It’s a weapon, and its master is waiting.

In the kingdom of Velyria, every family must adhere to a rigid law of childbearing. Women are required to have exactly three children: the eldest inherits the family business, the second is conscripted into the army, and the third becomes a scholar. Any deviation from this order leads to brutal punishment—execution, exile, or enslavement.

Merritt, an illegal fourth-born, should have been executed at birth, but his mother's defiance spared him—at the cost of her life. Raised as an outcast, Merritt fought his way into the prestigious Academy of War, where he became one of its top students, second only to Augustine, the second-born prince of Velyria who is destined for the front lines.

When an enemy kingdom strikes Velyria with a devastating attack, killing countless soldiers, the kingdom's rulers send every available recruit to the battlefield—including Augustine, Merritt, and two unlikely companions: Everest, a boy haunted by the death of his twin sister, and Kaito, a servant born from a forbidden love between a noble and a servant. Forced by the urgency of war, even those who were never meant to fight are swept up in the tide.

But everything changes when the four are captured by the enemy under the cover of night. Taken into enemy territory, they are subjected to the harsh ways of their captors and see the reality of war from a new perspective. As they train and form unexpected bonds with their captors—including a noble with secrets of their own—they begin to realize that the war is not the black-and-white conflict they were taught to believe in. Both Velyria and the enemy kingdom are steeped in corruption, using their people as pawns in a war fueled by lies and power.

As the four grow closer, they survive small battles, endure brutal challenges, and lean on each other through hardship. When a spy within their new camp offers them a chance to defect and fight for the enemy, they seize it—only to discover it's a test of loyalty designed to break them.

Back in Velyria, Augustine's father discovers their supposed betrayal and offers them a deadly ultimatum: betray the enemy kingdom by delivering vital information or face permanent exile. But Augustine, alongside his newfound allies, makes a bold choice. They reject both kingdoms, determined to escape the shackles of their birthrights and the lies that have shaped their world. United by friendship and driven by the desire for a better future, Merritt, Augustine, Everest, and Kaito spark a revolution—one that could break the chains of Velyria's ancient laws and change the kingdom forever.

The Silent Chainsis a gripping tale of rebellion, friendship, and the search for truth in a world that seeks to control every life.
