🩸 Chapter 4: Awakening the Crown of Sin
---
The Abyss was no longer Kael's prison.
It was his womb—the place where he had died, and where something far darker was now being born.
As Selene and Thalaria rested, Kael stood alone in the shattered throne chamber. The walls pulsed faintly with cursed energy. Ash drifted from the ceiling like falling snow.
Then it began.
A burning in his chest—not pain. Evolution.
His Shadowflame Core cracked open… and something older stirred beneath it.
[Warning… Core Instability Detected]
[Override Accepted. Awakening the Crown of Sin…]
Kael's knees buckled.
A black seal etched itself into the stone under his feet, throbbing with red glyphs—runes of conquest, lust, death, and kingship. The air trembled. His shadow twisted. His blood sang.
"What the hell is this…?" Kael growled.
[Welcome, Sovereign Candidate.]
[You have unlocked the Crown of Sin — a divine-demonic system designed for seduction, domination, and ascension through flesh and fear.]
A pulse of mana exploded from his chest. Kael staggered back, catching himself against a pillar. Violet flame raced across his veins. Voices of ancient kings and exiled gods whispered behind his ears:
"Conquer."
"Breed."
"Burn."
"Become."

Kael exhaled, skin glowing faintly with cursed light. His vision sharpened. His aura pulsed with heat and command.
He looked down at his hands. They weren't just hands now. They were tools of rulership—of pain and passion. The Crown of Sin wasn't some passive spell. It was a living pact. A hunger that fed on domination, and rewarded the taking of power in all forms.
Behind him, Selene and Thalaria stirred—two women of shadow and steel, unaware of what Kael was becoming.
But soon, they would be the first to feel it.
Kael grinned, the air humming around him.
"Let's see how far this throne rises."
And the Crown whispered back:
[Begin your reign, Sovereign. Let sin be your language.]
