Banished at fifteen. The former mentor of nations, now a prince exiled to die.
Prince Aric Solendar (formerly Elias Veynar) was too capable, too feared, and too much of a threat to his own father. His punishment is the Gored Lands: a frozen, monster-infested frontier where only the desperate survive. He is stripped of his name, title, and tools.
But the world made a mistake: it gave Aric a Second Chance and a System.
[ Task Objective: Survive → Build → Empower → Rule ]
With nothing but his supreme knowledge of architecture, strategy, and smithing, Aric must lay the first plank of his new life. The villagers see a pale, untested boy. Aric sees raw resources. He will design cities that breathe, train warriors who will bleed, and forge a new power on the edge of the world.
His exile is not a death sentence. It is a building permit.

Harvest of Sorrow
In a world shattered by the apocalypse, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. Cities lie in ruins, and monsters-born from the darkness of despair-roam freely, consuming the souls of the living. Aric is weak, alone, and barely scraping by in this merciless wasteland. But fate offers him a terrifying gift: the Sorrow System, a power that grows from the suffering of others. By consuming the anguish of defeated demons, Aric can become stronger-but every drop of sorrow he absorbs threatens to consume him in return. Haunted by visions of torment, Aric must learn to master this dark gift. Along the way, he will forge bonds with allies, face impossible moral choices, and confront the horrors of a world ruled by the Demon King. Will Aric rise from the ashes of despair to become humanity's savior, or will the endless harvest of sorrow transform him into the very monster he fights against? "Harvest of Sorrow" is a dark, post-apocalyptic fantasy webnovel of survival, power, and the emotional cost of strength.
