Some are born to greatness. Others to ruin. And some… are forged in the fire of both.

Alaric was a name whispered in admiration, a genius of the rarest kind, a prodigy destined to rise in a world ruled by power and legacy. But fate is seldom kind to those who carry too much light—or too much darkness.

Beneath the brilliance lay a truth too dangerous to embrace: he was never meant to be a hero. He was born a monster.

When the truth surfaced, all bonds shattered. Friends, mentors, everything turned against him. 

They called him an abomination… a curse that should never have drawn breath. And when he reached for the light, the world that raised him turned its blade—condemning him for what he was, not what he had become.

Betrayed, broken, and cast aside, a judgment passed not for his sins, but for his very existence.

But death, for monsters, is not always the end.

In a land far from the ashes of his past, something stirs—a boy reborn beneath another name. 

Haunted by echoes of a life the world tried to erase. Alaric must walk a path where salvation is a lie, power is a curse, and even hope wears a mask.

This is not a tale of heroes.
It is a song for the forgotten.
An ode for the damned.

First off, thank you for even clicking on this story. This is my first time putting my writing out there, and it honestly means a lot that you're checking it out.


Now, what can you expect from this adventure?


Meet Alaric Sullivan, a smart, cunning, cold, and bloodthirsty man shaped by a cruel world that chewed him up and spat him out. But this isn't just a tale of pain, it's about watching him rise. A damnable creature walking his own twisted path toward something like salvation... or perhaps something far darker?


I've poured a lot into building the world, its rules, its mysteries, and most importantly—its characters. There'll be action, yes. There'll be magic, corruption, betrayal, and some over-the-top fights that I hope leaves you grinning. But there'll also be slow burns, heavy moments, and characters just trying to make sense of the chaos around them.


I don't expect to be perfect, I just want to tell a story that matters to me, and hopefully to you. And if you decide to stick around, I hope it gives you something worth remembering.
