Darkness: Pride Reborn in Duty and Power

Reincarnated with memories of his past life, Pride awakens as a baby girl in a noble family—given a new name, Darkness. Adopted as a daughter, only to be assigned the life of a servant, Darkness cares little for titles. Her focus is unshaken: to grow in power, to walk a path of responsibility, and to fulfill a duty of justice for herself and her lost mother.



While others see her as a mere maid, Darkness quietly becomes the strongest pillar of House Elfred, mastering magic, martial prowess, and noble etiquette. Yet, peace is never long-lasting.



One day, a shocking proposal changes everything.



"Marry me, I love you."

The princess—once Darkness's childhood friend—confesses her love.



"Why me? There are others." Darkness questions.



"I hate boys. You're the perfect girl to marry."



But the world is not prepared for Darkness’s answer:

"I can't marry you. Because... I am a boy."



Even so, the King responds:

"I approve. You can marry my daughter."



Amidst this chaos, Darkness remains steadfast. Her path is not love or glory, but justice—a path seen as revenge by many. She will bring down the corrupt royal family, her treacherous relatives, and reshape a kingdom that once discarded her.
