Warning: This story isn’t for the faint of heart.
The main character is shameless, crude, and unapologetically ruthless.
If you want a clean-cut hero who plays by the rules, this isn’t your tale.
But if you crave raw power, dark humor, and the rise of a forgotten legacy—buckle up.

Blake Orpheus never knew who he truly was. Raised in hardship and instinct, he had no idea his bloodline was anything but ordinary—until the truth was ripped from the shadows. He is the son of Erebos, the Primordial God of Darkness.

That revelation wasn’t salvation. It was a curse.

In a world ruled by Great Houses, divine cultivators, and ancient politics, Blake becomes a target. His ancestral House—Orpheus—was erased from history by those who feared its power. But Blake carries that legacy, and the darkness within him is awakening.

Thrown into a deadly game, Blake must navigate a society where power defines worth and survival is never guaranteed. Cultivators rise through brutal combat, mastery of ancient techniques, and divine inheritance. But within this world, betrayal is currency, and legacy is a double-edged sword.

Blake’s journey isn’t a solo one. The sealing of the Shadow Realm—the Orpheus homeland—scattered his people across the realms. Some formed secret Great Houses, fighting to survive while hunted by enemies thirsty for their fall. Together with these allies, Blake begins his climb—not for glory, but to unseal his shattered homeworld, reclaim his throne, and reunite with his family.

But every step forward is met with resistance. Rivals want him dead. Ancient forces seek to erase his bloodline. And power, once gained, is never without consequence. To survive, Blake must embrace his dark heritage, grow stronger, smarter, and more ruthless than those who hunt him.

He fights dirty. He talks back. He’s fiercely loyal and utterly unrelenting.

This isn’t a tale of saints. It’s the rise of a shadow-born legend who will burn the world down before he bows to it. The world tried to forget the name Orpheus.

Blake will make them remember.
