Dormant Blood
In a world where magic isn’t a gift... but a debt only the worthy can repay.
In the year 3224, the sky changed. Magic returned — not as a blessing, but as a judgment. Through the mysterious phenomenon known as Celestia's Dream, only one descendant per generation awakens the dormant memory of a legendary ancestor.
Vex Lugulband was never meant to stand out. Born in the lowest class, from a humble village and a forgotten name, he thought just entering the Academy of Olympo was enough.
Until a silent mirror spoke.
Until his blood whispered back.
Thrown into a world ruled by lineage, power, and expectations, Vex must climb from the bottom — where names are forgotten — to where legends are born. No chosen one. No ancient prophecy. Just one boy… and the fire refusing to die inside him.
But in Olympo, power isn’t measured by effort, nor talent...
It’s measured by impact.
I recently read this web novel and I really enjoyed it a lot. It reminded me of some other well-known web novels I’ve read in the past, which added a nice nostalgic touch to the experience. Even though there are only five chapters available so far, I’m already eager to continue the story and see where it goes. This is a very strong start, with a unique setting and concept that I haven’t come across before, despite having read many web novels. It really changes how I approach the story, since I’m so used to seeing similar plots and contexts repeated. On top of that, there’s great character development already, with layers to uncover and things to learn about each character. I’m really looking forward to what's next!
My own 5-star review. This is my first time writing a story. I have tried to use existing concepts with genuine plot developments, while remaining as error free in grammar as possible. If you have any complaints or suggestions, feel free to comment, I will try to improve. [img=recommend]
This is hands down the best thing I’ve ever read—no exaggeration. The only story that edges it out, just barely, is Shadow Slave, which holds a special place in my heart for its incredible worldbuilding, gritty atmosphere, and the raw intensity of its character development. But this? This came so close, and in some ways, it even surpassed it. The writing was gripping from start to finish, with a plot that kept me hooked, twists I didn’t see coming, and characters that felt so real I was thinking about them even when I wasn’t reading. It’s rare to find something that can evoke that kind of emotional pull, that kind of immersion, and this absolutely nailed it. I didn’t want it to end. If you’re looking for something unforgettable, something that’ll stick with you—this is it.
