Fire, Darkness, an affinity for not one but two elements, it's a blessing, a gift from the heavens. Anyone would be jealous, Emil was lucky, he was blessed, he was fortunate. His path to success was paved for him. He was the first Dual Element Knight sporting Darkness and Fire, he was bound to achieve greatness. Was that really the case? Did the man in question feel lucky? Was he grateful for the talents granted to him by the heavens? No. He wasn't. He wasn't a fortunate person, he wasn't favored by the gods, he wasn't destined to have a good life. He never was. Not when his parents abandoned him, not when he became a servant, not when he awakened the godforsaken Fire and Darkness element. Everyone would see it as a gift. But no, it was a curse, his damnation. His talent came at a cost, his humanity. He'd be chased to the end of the world, he'd be hunted till his last breath, he'd be killed, dissected, taken apart, and become a subject to study. The first ever Fire and Darkness element user, a hybrid between a human and a Magical Beast, a wonder of nature, teetering on the edge of insanity. The urge to kill, to destroy, to listen to his instincts, to fulfill his destiny as the harbinger of death. It was a struggle of the mind. But there were people he loved and had to protect. And also, a revenge to exact. A grudge of blood, that could only be settled by blood. He couldn't afford to give in. Not until then. **** The story has a large chunk of world-building at the start, just a heads up. I did my best to make each and every character as three dimensional and fleshed out as possible. It'll take some time but they'll all come around, character development isn't something instanteneous. No ice queen heroine, no generic villain, no emotionless robotic genius mc. Speaking of the mc. He's a weak to strong type. he doesn't start out with broken cheats, or knowledge from the future, or a heavenly artifact that's gonna give him an edge over others. He works for his power, just like everyone else. but that doesn't mean he's not gonna be strong, it's just gonna take time.  Romance? yes in the future. Harem? possibly, but not one where the mc adds jade beauties to his collection like Pokemons left and right. that's just senseless. Two or three fmcs at best, and that throughout the entire length on the novel too. As for the plot, i think the synopsis did well to explain it. With all that being said, hop on if you like what you see, and enjoy :3
