In a kingdom old and dying, there is a King who places his hopes and the future of the kingdom upon the shoulders of the Princess.

However before she can take the throne, the Princess is taken by a powerful Witch.

The Witch leaves a cryptic message saying that the Princess can only be returned if the King sends forth three champions to another world. They must survive the three trials and bring her back.

And so the King sends forth his finest knights equipped with powerful weapons and armor.

The White Knight, virtuous and brave.
The Crimson Knight, smart and wise.
The Black Knight, loyal and determined.

With a snap, they are taken to another world, one beyond their wildest imaginations.
Each knight must complete the trials alone, but little do they know their actions directly influence the trials of the others.

Will they succeed and at what cost?
***

Follow the three high-tech knights as they enter a fantasy world of magic on the brink of an industrial revolution. Read as they help the world overcome a dark and ancient threat on their journey to rescue the princess.

The Dark Knight's Heart  by sblack006
17 parts Ongoing Mature
In the once-great kingdom of Thelline, a noble knight named Arthur lived a life of honor and love, devoted to his beloved wife. But when a devastating betrayal leads to the brutal slaughter of his wife and the destruction of his home, Arthur's world crumbles. The perpetrators of this heinous act are none other than the royal family. Fleeing from the remnants of his shattered life, Arthur is ruthlessly hunted down and killed. Death, however, is not the end for him. Reincarnated in a new body, he is reborn with no memory of his past life-except for the haunting image of his wife's face. Unbeknownst to him, his mortal demise has awakened a dormant power: Arthur is now a half-demon, forged from the very darkness that claimed his life. But this resurrection comes at a terrible cost: Arthur's heart has been replaced by an abyssal void, fueled by his rage and sorrow. His new existence is sustained by an otherworldly energy, pulsing through his veins like liquid darkness. As he navigates this new existence, Arthur is drawn to the beautiful and enigmatic Princess Elara. From the moment she sees him, she is inexplicably drawn to the mysterious knight who now serves in her father's kingdom. But amidst the whispers of dark forces rising in Thelline, Arthur must confront the torment within his fragmented memories. Unaware of Arthur's true identity and past, Elara finds herself torn between loyalty to her family and her growing feelings for the brooding knight. As their bond deepens, Arthur begins to unravel the secrets of his past and the truth behind his wife's murder. The revelation that Elara's family betrayed and killed him threatens to destroy the fragile bond between them.

They embark on many worlds in the mission to make them better places whether it'd be covertly in the shadows or out in the open working together with the many kinds of people living there all while having an adventure unlike any other. These are their stories.

Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like JoJo. --- Note: A bug was triggered which caused this book to be split into two.
