"I am Demian Bentley, son of a middle-ranked noble in a world where steam and steel forge civilization, and gods dictate fate."
At the age of ten, when every child eagerly awaits the blessing of their patron deity, I was rejected.
No divine light. No sacred voice.
Only silence... and the ache of abandonment.
But in the depths of that despair, something far older than the gods themselves answered my call.
Ancient runes carved themselves across my body, glowing in patterns no one could recognize.
I was not blessed by any god—I was claimed by a force deeper, darker, and more ancient than heaven or hell.
Now, I walk a path unwritten in any holy book.
A path that grants authority over reality, over chaos, over the very will of the divine.
And the world… will never be the same.
