Synopsis
Born under an ominous star said to bring slaughter, the protagonist long refused to draw his sword in an attempt to escape the bloody destiny imposed on him. Peace brings neither salvation nor forgiveness: betrayed, imprisoned, and brutally tortured, he is driven to the edge of the abyss. There, he encounters an entity and makes a pact with the 'Ruler of Darkness'. A forbidden scripture appears—a text forged from the grievances of heaven, earth, and humanity—and he chooses to embrace darkness. Returning to pass judgment on a corrupt world, he delivers a terrible form of justice in a murim marked by horror, revenge, and politics.
The Ruler of Darkness is a dark murim story whose appeal lies not only in power, but in justice born from despair. A cursed fate, betrayal, torture, a forbidden pact, and a protagonist who no longer trusts the established order drive the narrative. Its gloomier, more psychological atmosphere approaches dark fantasy through monstrous shadows, supernatural entities, and a hero becoming an implacable judge.
