From Nothing to Legend

The Crimson SovereignThree siblings. Three shattered destinies. One path to absolute retribution.In the western reaches of the Aethelgard continent, the peaceful village of Oakhaven is brutally slaughtered, betrayed by bandits posing as heroes and bled dry by the cruel taxes of the Empire. From the ashes of their home, three surviving siblings are scattered to the winds, each forced onto a distinct and brutal path of survival.  Tristan, the eldest, chooses the path of the sword. Seeking to protect what remains of his family, he enters the meat grinder of the Royal Army, fighting on the bloody frontlines of a vicious kingdom war. Lila, the middle sister, harbors a devastating magical spark. Entering the Grand Magic Academy as a humble commoner servant, she overcomes bitter noble sabotage and political assassins to become the youngest Mage Teacher in history.  But it is Kaelen, the youngest, who inherits the dark abyss.Ambushed, robbed, and sold into brutal dwarven slavery at just eight years old, Kaelen survives the searing heat of the underground forges before registering as a rookie adventurer. Yet, human greed knows no bounds. Betrayed deep within the unmapped labyrinth of The Hollow Core by his own elite party, he is stabbed in the back and cast into a bottomless chasm.  Trapped in the pitch-black depths of Floor 73 for two agonizing years, Kaelen does the unthinkable. He mutters no prayers; he simply adapts. By conquering prehistoric terrors and breaking the ultimate taboo of consuming toxic monster flesh, his body mutters, his eyes ignite a predatory crimson, and the legendary "Red-Eye Reaper" is forged.  Now, at thirteen years old, Kaelen has crawled back into the surface sunlight. Armed with artifact-grade twin blades, boundless wealth, and permanent immunity to the world's poisons, he is no longer a victim. While his siblings remember him as a helpless child, Kaelen begins a cold, systematic hunt to annihilate the criminal syndicates, corrupt nobles, and backstabbing high-rankers who stole his humanity.  The world thinks he died in the dark. They are about to find out what crawled out of it.
