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But this resurrection comes at a terrible cost: Arthur's heart has been replaced by an abyssal void, fueled by his rage and sorrow.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.

"Elara~Prince Twisted Obsession"  by softlysinister
32 parts Ongoing
In the grand kingdom of Verathia, where power and politics rule, Prince Alistair is known as a cold and calculating figure in the royal court. Born into a world of betrayal, alliances, and constant scrutiny, Alistair learned from a young age that love is a weakness he cannot afford. He's known for his sharp intellect and ruthless decisions in court, having been groomed to take over the throne. However, behind closed doors, his obsession isn't with power-it's with a commoner, Lady Elara. Elara is an innocent, kind-hearted young woman from a noble yet distant family, largely removed from the palace's inner workings. She's sweet, humble, and untouched by the court's manipulations. She meets Alistair by chance when her family is summoned to court over a land dispute. Unaware of the prince's intense gaze, Elara quickly becomes the object of his fascination. What begins as an innocent meeting soon turns into a dangerous game as Alistair's obsession with Elara grows. He is determined to keep her close, seeing her as the only source of purity in his dark world. Alistair views Elara as a symbol of purity in his otherwise corrupt world, and his obsession with her is driven by a desire to possess something untainted by power. He is deeply conflicted, as his obsession is at odds with his belief that emotions are weaknesses. Elara, on the other hand, is unaware of the extent of Alistair's obsession. While she may feel a sense of intrigue or fascination with him, she is largely naive to the depth of his intentions, making her a target of his possessive nature without fully understanding the danger.

85 parts Complete Mature

"Her hazel eyes, wide with fear, avoided meeting mine. Her body trembled in delicate, and broken shivers. The curves of her face were hauntingly beautiful, innocence etched into every inch. Her skin was a milky white, smooth except for tiny crisscrosses of scars. I was transfixed. But the sight of her was only a temporary diversion from the torment within. The pulse of her blood was visible in the delicate curve of her neck. My mouth felt heavy on my jaw and as I stepped forward, her pulse quickened." In the Kingdom of Qemond, Sebastian, the enigmatic Vampire King, finds himself entangled in a web of desire and mystery. A chance encounter with a seemingly ordinary human named Elowen unravels a captivating tale of addiction, power, and a blood bond that defies the very fabric of his understanding. Elowen's blood possesses an inexplicable hold over Sebastian, and it thrusts him into a relentless pursuit of answers. As he grapples with the mysteries of her existence, the kingdom teeters on the brink of war, and Sebastian faces challenges that pale in comparison to the internal turmoil ignited by his connection to the weak human he cannot let go of. Will Sebastian untangle the questions of Elowen's blood, or will the intoxicating allure of her existence forever alter the course of his immortal life?
