In the ashes of a fallen kingdom, a tyrant is born.
The Kingdom of Grasia lies in ruins. King Tristan and the Crown Prince are executed in cold blood, and the once-mighty realm falls to the merciless FimmDrekk Empire. Amidst the carnage, 14-year-old Prince Kaito von Einheart-Grasia's youngest strategist-is left betrayed, poisoned by his own mother, and mortally wounded after a final, futile attempt to save his brother.
But death does not claim him.
Rescued by the fleeing First Queen, Elena von Einhala, Kaito is reborn-his shattered body restored by mysterious forces, his soul flooded with knowledge and memories from a distant world called Earth. Guided by an inner AI and armed with terrifying new abilities like Particle Manipulation and Parallel Thought, Kaito sheds the innocence of royalty and embraces the cold logic of a survivor.
As they flee deep into the unforgiving Einhala Forest, pursued by King Orsted's relentless forces, Kaito begins to assert control. He forges advanced artifacts, constructs impenetrable shelters, and breaks through Queen Elena's grief with brutal pragmatism-shattering her delusions of honor and duty.
Haunted by betrayal and consumed by purpose, Kaito von Einheart sets forth on a merciless path. Volume I marks the beginning of his transformation-from betrayed prince to calculating tyrant. His goals are clear: avenge his fallen kingdom, take Elena for his own, and reshape the world of Tenria through domination, deceit, and unrelenting power.
He was born a prince.
He will rise as the Tyrant King.

ICE & SHADOWS
In the land of Izër, the cold reigns supreme. Almost nothing lives on the surface, with the exception of the Shadows -beings whose origins no one knows, but who roam about, absorbing all forms of life on earth. Sheltered beneath the ice mountain, a royal city prospers, safe from the cold, while outside, shadows slither, absorbing the soul of any who dare cross their path. This city was built by the Founding Fathers, now called the Sleepers, who wait in a state of perpetual slumber for the day of their awakening to fight the prophecy of the human shadow. In this city, the Tristan dynasty rules and shares power, having governed for over two hundred years alongside the four other families. They eliminate claimants to the throne under the guise of a false prophecy, claiming that the wall demands the blood of a royal family member every ten years. This ritual often takes place shortly before the king's death or during the formation of the Royal Assembly, to remove any obstacles, instilling fear among the families coveting power and fostering trust among the people, who see them as benevolent beings sacrificing themselves for the city's well-being. With the help of the High Priest, the king and his family rule unquestionably over the nobility, until one day, a man appears at the gates of the ice mountain, creating confusion and widespread disbelief. Darius, a young man from beyond the wall... How did he survive the Shadows? And where did he come from? So many questions surround the stranger, yet he hides a terrible secret.

Forged by the Abyssal King
Jaka spent his first life drifting without direction-lazy, unmotivated, and indifferent to the future. When he failed the university entrance exam, the fragile foundation of his life crumbled. Friends vanished, family turned their backs, and even the girl he thought he would build a future with spat on his name. Mocked, abandoned, and drowning in self-disgust, he lived the next twenty years like a hollow shell. No dreams, no drive, no hope. His days blended into nights, suffocating in regret until his pointless existence finally reached its quiet, pathetic end. But death did not grant escape. He awakens in a world drenched in blood, in a body battered and scarred, surrounded by mountains of corpses whose faces twist in eternal terror. Before him stands a monstrous being-massive, horned, crimson-eyed, and radiating hatred powerful enough to crush a mortal mind. Yet Jaka's heart does not stir. No fear. No shock. Nothing but numb resignation. He has long forgotten what it means to feel alive. This demon is Orba, the Abyssal King, ruler of the darkest plane and executioner of heroes. Instead of killing Jaka, Orba claims him as a tattered scrap of fate-someone not chosen by gods nor loved by destiny. And for that very reason, he becomes Orba's prisoner, slave, and unwanted protégé. As Jaka is forced into brutal training, forged in suffering, and stripped of weakness, a question begins to smolder in the emptiness of his broken spirit: if a man who already lost everything is given a second chance-not to be a hero, but to survive, to sharpen his blade, and to carve meaning from despair-just how terrifying can he become? Thus begins the rebirth of a failure who seeks not glory, but a reason to breathe again. A man not chosen by fate... but shaped by the abyss itself.

Bloodline of Shadows
Born the youngest of twelve powerful brothers, you were destined to inherit a legacy greater than all of them chosen as heir not by age, but by the ancient powers flowing through your veins. But fate was cruel. Stolen away as a child, your body was poisoned, your mind fractured, and your power suppressed. For years, you were lost, a missing prince hidden in shadows. Now found again, you return to a family torn between fierce protectiveness and their own dangerous instincts. Some test your strength. Others guard your fragile stability. And within you, not one voice, but many linger: echoes of cruelty, scars of pain, and something darker born in captivity. Every day becomes a battle not just against your brothers' challenges, but against the selves inside you, desperate to surface. Yet amidst the chaos, bonds begin to form, and trust slowly grows. With each trial, you take a step closer to reclaiming both your place as heir... and the fractured pieces of yourself. But the deeper you go, the more one truth becomes clear: survival means not only mastering your power, but mastering the shadows that live within.Complete
