Abyssal Ascension

Born into royalty, he is destined not for a throne, but for the sacrificial altar. His empire’s stability is a fragile pact with a slumbering cosmic entity, and as a prince of a cursed bloodline, his life is the designated price. The emperor—his own father—is the high priest who will one day wield the blade. His only hope for survival lies in forbidden knowledge from a past life: a tainted wisdom that reveals the world’s secrets at the cost of his sanity. To defy fate, he must build a clandestine empire of commerce, transforming wealth into a new form of faith to challenge the divine throne. In this high-stakes game of gods and mortals, can he steal divine power and forge a new destiny, or will he be the final offering to the endless abyss?
