The tale of the king slayer in black

Mason_A_Judge
Yes, I’m fully aware that this story is nowhere near finished. Right now, The King’s Slayer in Black is still in a very rough draft stage. It isn’t a fully polished novel yet it’s more of a collection of the concepts, ideas, and foundations I have for the story as a whole. My goal is for it to eventually become a full-length novel of around forty-five chapters, and I already have a lot planned for where the story will go. There are many things I still want to edit, rewrite, expand, and improve throughout the project. As the story continues, my writing process will become more coherent, more refined, and far less reliant on AI I only use AI as a tool to help organize ideas and assist with the process it is not meant to replace the creativity, passion, or effort I’m putting into this world and its characters. For now, I simply ask that you appreciate the story for what it currently is: an early version of something I hope can grow into something truly great over time. In a way, you’re getting to read alongside the process itself to witness the origin of a story before it fully becomes what it’s meant to be. One day, I hope people can look back and see how much it evolved from these beginnings. So, please take it with a grain of salt, enjoy it for what it is, and stay tuned for future updates and revised versions once the full story is complete. I have a lot planned for this world, its characters, and the journey ahead. Either way, thank you for taking the time to read my work, and I hope you enjoy the King’s Slayer in Black.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?

ECLIPSED SOVREIGN

In a world where light and shadow were once one, the ancient prophecy of the Eclipsed Sovereign foretells the return of balance — one being who will bear both crowns of Luminar and Umbrael. Born beneath a total eclipse, Stellan Adrian is that child. From his first breath, the cosmos itself bends toward him. Flowers bloom at his touch. Stones orbit him in reverence. The very fabric of reality whispers his name. He never asked for this power, nor the destiny that comes with it. His childhood friend, Ren Samael, was supposed to stand beside him. Instead, Ren watches as the world hands Stellan miracles while forcing him to claw and bleed for every scrap of strength. As Stellan's powers awaken with effortless grace, Ren's own abilities manifest through rage, defiance, and a growing shadow that answers only to his will. What begins as jealousy slowly poisons Ren’s soul. The boy who once raced through village streets with his friend becomes something far darker — a rival willing to tear destiny apart rather than live in its shadow. Consumed by envy, Ren sabotages the very prophecy he was meant to share, ensuring that if he cannot claim the Sovereign’s power, then no one will. As hunters like the ancient devourer Nyxara, the rigid Church of Ordered Light, and unseen cosmic forces close in, Stellan must navigate a world that both worships and fears him. With his loyal anchor Lyra by his side and a mysterious Seeker as guide, he races to understand his connection to the primordial Black Hole at the heart of creation. But the greatest threat may not come from gods or monsters. It may come from the friend who now walks willingly into darkness — determined to become the villain the prophecy never warned about. In a tale of cosmic fate, fractured friendship, and the devastating cost of envy, two boys bound by prophecy will either restore balance to the universe… or destroy it in their rivalry. Eclipsed Sovereign — where one rises through light, and the other falls gloriously into shadow.
