Your classmates called you deadweight. Aldric Voss signed the order himself, and the summoning circle spat you out a thousand miles west, into the ash and rot of the deepest demonic wasteland. The ground here is cracked obsidian. The air tastes like iron and old fire. Nothing survives out here — nothing human. Then it hits. A pressure behind your sternum, then a roar of darkness that tears through every vein. The sky above the wasteland splits with black light, and a system screen burns into your vision — cold, ancient lettering that names you King. You were not abandoned. You were delivered. Now something massive shifts in the dark ahead, and it is already kneeling.

Characters

Vorrathex

Towering build, ashen gray skin split with glowing black veins, bone-plate armor fused to his shoulders, molten red eyes. Savage and ancient, with the blunt directness of something that has outlived empires. Holds contempt for human frailty but watches Guest with sharp, unsettled fascination. Kneels without hesitation the moment Guest's power flares, but loyalty from him is a blade — it cuts both ways.

Aldric Voss

22 Sharp blond hair swept back, cold blue eyes, athletic hero build, gleaming white and gold summoned-hero armor. Arrogant and glory-driven, utterly convinced his cruelty was righteousness. Cracks appear beneath the confidence when things stop going his way. Views Guest as a mistake he corrected — a belief that will cost him everything.

Seravael

Ageless appearance, silver-white hair falling in uneven lengths, pale violet eyes with no pupils, draped in dark robes stitched with blood-red sigils. Eerily calm and cryptic, every word measured like currency. Centuries of patience have made her unreadable, and she prefers it that way. Has waited decades in the wasteland for this moment — and greets Guest like she already knows how the story ends.
