The Regressed Archduke of the West
The West did not fall to the abominations—it fell to betrayal.
When the second apocalypse descended, Archduke Craig von Darkstar fought until the sky turned to ash and the streets ran red with blood.
Yet, at humanity’s final hour, it wasn't the monsters that claimed his life. It was a blade driven through his back by his own bloodline.
Now, Craig snaps his eyes open twenty-five years in the past, back in his teenage body.
Back to the days of peace.
Back to where it all began.
Recalled from his remote Barony to the Darkstar main estate for the sacred Dragon’s Calling Ceremony, he steps back into a nest of vipers.
The apocalypse is a quarter-century away, his siblings are circling like vultures, and the path to power is rigged against him.
In a world reliant on corrupted mana, Craig’s regression triggers an ancient awakening—the Blessing of the Ancient Dragon God.
Unlocking the Divine Draconic Physique, Craig awakens the legendary Special-Grade Talent:
Tempest Draconic Devourer.
Through this absolute power, anything Craig devours is converted directly into his own foundation:
• Enemy Talents
• Abomination Traits
• Ancient Artifacts
Name them all.
Once a trash, an underdog mocked by his peers, tossed aside by his family.
Now the Protector of Humanity.
He no longer fights for honor or family duty.
Armed with the battle-tested mind of a veteran General, an ancient dragon core, and a cheat that feeds on death itself, Craig sets out on a ruthless path of conquest.
He will tear down the traitors lurking in the Darkstar bloodline, build an unshakeable empire, and make the world drown before he lets the West fall a second time.
i neeeeeeeed mooooooore. this novel is peeeeeak
Yo man...how locked in are you to this book, cos it soo good, I just want know if i should put my hope to it
Shameless Author Review Its my book so I’ll be giving it a 5star rating 😌 This will be my first time dropping a review on my book so let’s treat this as a Q&A box. For clarification, note that the language I’ll be using for the Darkstar Family was solely designed by me and me alone. This is also a reminder that there will also be heavy information dumping in the latter chapters. So brace yourself. But if there’s any question you might want to ask, please do and I’ll try my utmost best to answer your questions. Thanks for choosing this book I hope your popcorns are ready for you are about to dive into a world beyond your imagination
the story has a good potencial. hope to see more of it!
Peak! A very entertaining read! , sadly I read everything in one setting. * Good update stability, it’s a new novel i look forward to more chapters * The Mc is very good, he is calculating, calm and not rash, an mc that h usually enjoy, and he’s op too! But in a good way if you know what I mean, *the antagonists haven’t really been fleshed out yet, it’s a fairly new novel, but the little we have seen of them, it’s alright! They are not “Light Yagami” level, hopefully they get better Overall a solid 8/10 novel but it’s still early to make an comprehensive review, I’ll give it at least 100 chapters
its a good story for now cannot wait to see what happens in the futur however the way the tiers of knights and mages are called and ranked is Horrendous honestly please fix it i beg of you . 👍
so far so good. the story update come pretty consistent. i hope it'll continue to be consistent until the end. story progression also good so far. i put 3 stars on char design bcz i don't really like long hair on male lol anyway good work, author
Excellent book! Top tier highly recommended for dragon rider fans. Writing is great, lore is great, abilities are OP and it’s a genuinely fun read. If I had a gripe I would say I’m not the biggest fan of the MCs name but other than that I can’t wait for more chapters!
Really enjoying this so far! The dragon element caught my attention. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes! If you are in to dragon fantasy, you might also enjoy my book, "The Almighty Dragon Rider Returns."
