Villains' Guild Ascension
By @Gabriele Soraci
Orphaned and ostracized for his unusual magical affinity, Kaelen's life has been a cruel testament to his 'unworthiness'. But when he stumbles upon the notorious 'Crimson Covenant', a guild whispered to be the sanctuary of the realm's most feared villains, he sees not evil, but belonging. Armed with a rare ability to subtly manipulate emotional states, a power he's only ever used to deflect abuse, Kaelen must navigate a world of cutthroats, dark mages, and assassins. His new 'family' demands ruthlessness and cunning, pushing him to embrace the very darkness he once shunned. Yet, the Covenant's grand scheme threatens to plunge the kingdom into chaos, forcing Kaelen to confront whether acceptance is worth the cost of his soul. Can an outcast truly find a home among monsters, or is he merely a pawn in a larger, more sinister game?
