In a world where the boundaries between light and darkness are blurred, Sariel Drakus, a demon elf of the Upper Nether, embarks on a harrowing journey that will change the fate of realms. Once an ordinary warrior, Sariel's life is shattered when he is drawn into the Void, a place of ancient and malevolent power. Stripped of his mortality and reshaped by the Void's dark energy, Sariel is thrust into a perilous struggle against forces far beyond his comprehension. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of the Void, Sariel must confront not only the monstrous beings that dwell within but also the darkness that now festers in his own soul. Guided by the enigmatic dragon Sheol, Sariel's quest for power and vengeance soon transforms into a battle for survival, as he navigates a world where every choice could lead to his destruction-or his ascension. Yet even as Sariel amasses power, he is haunted by visions of his past, the family he lost, and the future that awaits him should he succumb fully to the darkness.
