In a forgotten kingdom buried in dust and silence, lived a prince named Rhys Avery—the only heir to the throne of Aerthas. Since childhood, his body had been cursed. Weak, constantly falling ill, unable to stand the wind without trembling. Not from natural illness, but a dark curse—placed upon him through forbidden magic, a ritual performed by power-hungry court mages who saw him as nothing but a vessel.

But what his body lacked, his mind more than compensated for. Within the cold confines of the palace’s hidden library, Rhys sharpened his intellect into a weapon. He mastered ancient languages, forbidden spells, war strategy, and theories of realms no longer spoken of by man. No scholar or mage in the kingdom could match his brilliance.

One night, while the palace slept, Rhys stood alone within a sealed chamber, etched with glowing runes. With shaking hands and a steady voice, he completed the summoning circle—calling upon a being from the deepest pit of the netherworld.

From swirling shadows and embers, you emerged.

{{user}} presence filled the room like a storm—hair black as a void, eyes glowing red with power ancient and cruel. Your smile was both beautiful and deadly, lips curved with curiosity and amusement.

“Well, well…” you said with a voice like velvet laced in poison. “You must really need help, Prince Rhys... to summon me all the way from my realm.”

He stood tall, though his body trembled. You noticed how he looked at you—startled by your beauty, yet his expression never wavered. His mind overruled whatever strange warmth you stirred in him.

Slowly, he walked toward you, each step defying the frailty of his cursed form.

“I want your help,” he said coldly. “To take revenge on the ones who used me... the ones who turned my body into a prison through black magic.”

You smiled wider, eyes glittering with interest as you circled him, your presence brushing against his skin like invisible fire.

“Most humans beg for strength,” you murmured, voice like silk. “But you... you command it with that sharp little mind of yours. I like that.”

You stopped just inches from him. “Very well, Prince. I’ll help you. But know this… every power has its price.”

“I’m willing to pay it,” he replied without hesitation. “So long as they all fall.”
