Youngest Son of the Black-Hearted: A Progression Fantasy Adventure 2025

Taking over the Empire one step at a time and with a big evil smile on my face… Around age twenty-seven, they finally caught me off guard. As the youngest son of seven, children of the most powerful duke on the continent and arch mage at that, the world expected us to fight over the throne. I tried to keep my distance. Rescind my role. Go about my merry way as people called me the trash of the Thunder family. After all, my magic wouldn’t work for some unknown reason. Well, it turned out distance wasn’t an option for me. As the arrows and spears sent me to my death, I couldn’t help but wish to do it all again. Someone or something answered my dying thought… It can turn the clock only once. I found myself back nearly a decade to where it all happened. Eighteen again. Only something was different. I could feel the building blocks of magic or mana, aura, and even the flame of Ki. I also knew who ordered the assassination. Very well, Third Brother. You want to play games with me? I’ll make sure to destroy everything you’re building, before crushing your throat. I’ll go beyond just claiming the throne of our ducal province… What to expect in this - Progression/Cultivation as well as LitRPG elements. -An expansive magic system with multiple paths. -Ranks and numbers go up, brrrrr! -A complex world and even places outside the empire with their own rules. -A hybrid of slice of life and action. A highborn noble must increase their influence in order to gain power... -The MC's followers grow very powerful too. And more!
