7 Pillars of the World

7 Pillars, 7 Civilizations, All vying for one. In a world shaped by seven primordial elements, power isn’t just inherited—it is claimed. The floating ziggurat city of the Obsidian Spire hangs in a delicate, blood-soaked balance. As the headquarters of the Dark Faction, it is home to Humans, Werebeasts, Undead, and Shadowlords who draw their strength from the elemental pillars of the world. For eighteen-year-old Prince Kenius, survival means enduring the mandatory Eclipse of the Self—a grueling rite of passage where every youth awakens their latent talent, or implodes trying. Kenius hoped for a modest gift. Instead, he ignites an extraordinary, terrifying power—an ancient origin element unseen for centuries, branding him as a fated sovereign. But in the Dark Faction, a prophesied king is not a savior. He is a threat to the ruling council and a prize to be conquered. Before Kenius can even claim his birthright, a dark betrayal strips him of his voice, his agency, and his free will. Bound by oppressive magic and controlled from the shadows, his body is forced to act as a hollow weapon in a dangerous game of political tyranny. Trapped in the prison of his own mind alongside a primordial shadow entity, Kenius is left with only a burning resolve and a single choice:To break his chains, he must reject everything he knows about magic and master an untamed, forbidden discipline—the power of Nothingness. The King does not bow. The King does not serve. And soon, the seven pillars will tremble. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: 7 Pillars of the World — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
