Caelus Thorne was born into a good family. But at thirteen, he lost everything that was his parents. The cause? Unknown. The memories? Gone. Yet he didn't care about his past; rather, he focused on the present and the future.

One day before his 16th birthday, he saw a garden from his dreams, where beauty is born from rot, and death blooms in the form of blood-red spider lilies. His parents, long dead under unknown circumstances, appeared in visions too grotesque to be mere memories-like, visions that tear through the veil of reality like butterfly wings made of shadow and flame.

Caelus is dying, and he has known about it for as long as he can remember. Plagued by a mysterious illness that no doctor can explain, he survives each day on sheer willpower and the warmth of the one person who refuses to leave his side: his sole friend, Uriel Evernight, heiress to a family that would rather see him gone.

Now, on the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he revisits the amusement park where his parents died, also the site of his 13th birthday.

When Uriel proposed to him, a huge incident occurred, awakening his affinity.

After that incident, he discovered the unknown world he inhabits through the academy he was sent to by the Awakeners Association.

But who would have thought that the path he chose would turn him into a criminal?

This novel doesn't have a system, no level-ups, and nothing else; everything must be accomplished through hard work or talent. There is a system-like feature only to track their abilities and ranks, which will exist in their cores.

Next, there will be a lot of gore, and even in the first chapter, there is plenty of it.  So, it is a warning for people who doesn't want any gore, the gore is huge in my novel.

The main character will be a villain, as the tag suggests, and he will not become a villain directly; rather, through the progression of the novel, he will become one he may not be in the beginning. There is only a little romance, so I didn't put the tag, and the romance is for the sake of the plot.

Hello there, this is The_Nameless_ here. I am new to writing; of course, I wrote a fan fiction, and that also involved a huge amount of AI. I wrote that fan fiction for my own enjoyment and to improve my skills. As the chapters increased, I reduced the AI use. In this novel I am writing, there is no AI used at all. 


The entire creation of the novel, including writing the dialogues, is done by me. I use Grammarly for proofreading and editing mistakes. And I only use AI to create images and get names for my characters and places because I suck at names that even I rack my brains harder than I get harder myself I can't get good names.


If you don't like the usage, you don't have to read it. But if you want to read and continue, then you can.


This novel is inspired by LOTM, SS, and RI. It may not show the inspirations outright, but I drew from these three primarily and some others as well. This is part 1, and there is a part 2 too.


Well, please don't judge everything too quickly; read up to volume 1, and then provide a review. If there are negative comments about my novel that have not yet been mentioned in the review, your comment will be deleted.


Finally, this novel will remain free. I won't lock the chapters, but if you'd like to support me, you can do so through Patreon. 


And I also uploaded this on RoyalRoad. If you want, in the future you can read from there too.


Once again, if you enjoy reading my book, please recommend it to someone and also review it honestly.


You can see the pictures of the characters in my Patreon collections of mine.
