THE BLOOD LEGION

They called it a blessing. At fifteen, the chosen awaken as Vessels, soaring into the skies with divine power. But blessings don’t fall on everyone. For him, there was no awakening—only silence, only failure. Years later, as his blood spilled onto the ground, the gods remained quiet. Yet something else answered. A window appeared. A system bound to his veins, demanding sacrifice for strength. Threads of blood stitched his wounds shut, a skill both grotesque and beautiful—his first step into a world that would take as much from him as it gave. To grow, he must bleed. To survive, he must risk everything. Denied divinity yet shackled by power, he walks a road where each drop of blood is both weapon and price. The gods rejected him. The system claimed him. And in that crimson contract, a new Vessel was born.
