🚨-----[WARNING: UNDER HEAVY REWRITING & CORE EDITING. Proceed at your own pace.]----🚨 ✨Anyone with consciousness naturally fears the unknown. The vast, expanding intergalactic abyss looms between planets and stars, threatening to engulf entire galaxies and beyond. Everything it touches seems to face a fate far worse than death, disrupting the peaceful balance between countless dimensions and the laws of physics beyond our wildest dreams. This all started with first contact inside, with the mysterious outer Versal being now known as the [MERKATOR OF VAKIVUS]. Whatever dwelled within did not discriminate on whom or what it chose to Claim. Our curiosity cost us trillions of lives in learning about its existence. We are now armed with the deadly realisation that not even [Hell] can claim our souls if we cannot find a way to escape its grasp. This is my final memoir of all things living or otherwise, a last respect to fallen souls. As I venture into the madness that lies beyond the [DARK MATTER]... to the place where it resides... either I uncover its mind-bending secrets and stop the vicious rampage as it bleeds into our reality, or I succumb to its will and become the architect of my inexorable destruction and lead my kind toward extinction.✨ 📢[Act 1] of [Season 1], formerly known as [''𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀''] of the First Volume, has reached the final stage with a brand new revamped title: [''𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑''] of the Original fan favourite ''[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒]''.

❛❛𝙯𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙫𝙮𝙫𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙡𝙞 𝙪𝙢𝙧𝙞❞ (Russian | 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘦) A breathtaking tale of unforgettable battles, buried secrets, searing suspense, and a romance as sinful as it is intoxicating. This is not a love story for the faint of heart-it's a bittersweet descent where demons crawl from every corner, and the taste of danger is far too tempting to resist. Every scar, every wound, every discouragement was meant to destroy them. Yet people forget-fear is an aphrodisiac, and the pleasure of terror is the very drug that keeps them alive. They crave the darkness the way others crave salvation, and in their world, destruction is the closest thing to divinity. Theirs is a tale carved in blood and enmity, a saga that breathes violence, radiates power, and seduces with the kind of allure that burns and scars in equal measure. Scandalous or sacrilegious? Both. Betrayals, manipulations, and whispered lies stitch this story together, each one sharper than the last. Every game comes at a cost, every secret pulls them deeper into the abyss. Because here, power isn't just earned-it's stolen, wielded like a weapon, and fed by vengeance. And this time, the cost won't be survival. It will be glory, judgment, and ruin. So, what happens when 𝘼𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙖 𝙎𝙤𝙠𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙫 and 𝘼𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙠 𝙄𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙫 place their stakes on the highest bid-where love and hatred bleed into one, and only the cruelest can endure? In the end, in this brutal war of vengeance and desire, there will be no mercy. Only one question lingers in the silence before the strike: Who will draw first blood? ⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅

Anton Volkov doesn't love. He commands, he takes, and he destroys. As the ruthless Don of the Bratva, emotions are tools to manipulate, and he's perfected the art of remaining untouchable. Fear is his greatest weapon, and mercy is a weakness he buried long ago. Then there's Irina Romanov. A sharp-witted math teacher with no place in his world, she's everything Anton despises: bold, fearless, and completely unimpressed by his power. Where others cower at his name, she stands tall. Where others tremble under his gaze, she meets it head-on. Irina challenges him with a fire he can't extinguish, igniting something dangerous within him. She's chaos personified-fierce, unyielding, and a threat to the control he's spent years building. She's a spark in the darkness, threatening to set his empire ablaze. Anton wants to dominate her, to bend her to his will. But every time she resists, he's drawn closer, caught in a battle he's never fought before. In a world built on violence and fear, Irina Romanov might be the only person bold enough to defy Anton Volkov. And for the first time, Anton doesn't know if he should destroy her-or surrender completely.
