In the ancient Kingdom of Zambezi, darkness rules under the reign of a ruthless king who wields the legendary Crown of dominion - a powerful artifact said to grant its bearer limitless power to conquer, control, and command. With kingdoms across the world crushed beneath his iron rule, resistance has become a distant memory, and fear silences every voice that dares to speak of rebellion.
But legends speak of a prophecy - one that foretells the rise of a warrior destined to end the king's reign.
Enter Daniel III, a young swordsman of noble blood, orphaned by war and fueled by vengeance. Guided by fragments of myth and whispers of a hidden weapon capable of destroying the crown, Dalisto embarks on a perilous journey across cursed lands, ancient ruins, and enemy territories. His quest is clear: find the weapon, face the king, and end the terror.
But the crown's power corrupts all it touches - and even the purest heart can be seduced.
As destinies collide and the line between good and evil blurs, one question remains:
Will Darren save the world... or be consumed by the very power he seeks to destroy?
Long lives the King. For now.

The Trials of the Crowned Heart
I was born to wear a crown but never to choose my own fate. They say the trials are tradition. That six princes fighting for my hand is how peace is kept. But I know better. These halls reek of secrets. My father won't meet my eyes, and my future is being bartered behind closed doors. And then he arrived. Prince Malric. The dark one. The uninvited one. The one whose kingdom was never supposed to exist. The moment I met him, I knew: the danger isn't the trials... it's the truth no one dares to speak. They want me silent. Obedient. Married off like a pawn on a game board. But I've never been good at playing by the rules. So if they won't tell me what he's really here for, I'll find out myself. Even if it means sneaking through shadows, breaking royal law, or letting my heart betray me. Let them try to control me. I am not a prize.

i was reincarnated as abusive father of the hero twins
When a 17-year-old gamer wakes up in the body of one of the most hated characters from his favorite RPG-Darian, the drunken, abusive father of the twin heroes-he's not just confused... he's horrified. The world is grim, unforgiving, and very real. The man he's replaced is a violent failure of a father who, in the game's timeline, is destined to die at the hands of his own children. The problem? Those children are now clinging to each other in fear, and he's holding a bottle he doesn't remember picking up. With no cheat powers, terrible stats (including negative mana), and only vague memories of game mechanics, he has one goal: rewrite the future. He must earn the trust of the twins he was supposed to ruin, master forgotten skills through grit and repetition, and survive in a world that sees him as nothing more than a worthless commoner. There's no prophecy, no system guide, and no forgiveness for failure. Can a burned-out soul trapped in the body of a villain become the father two future heroes need?
