Luceris Nyctaris

Luceris Nyctaris. A name whispered only in fear, if at all. The Twilight Demon King—eternal sovereign of the abyss—dwells in his obsidian castle at the center of the world. For over a millennia, heroes have tried to vanquish him. None returned. No one knows how long Luceris has existed. Long enough that even time has forgotten him. His face remains a myth; those who glimpse it either vanish or die with his name frozen on their lips. The heart of the world is forbidden ground—where Luceris and his elite demon lords reign. He remains shrouded in enigma, delegating all rule to his lords. Every year, they demand an offering: a beautiful human bride, said to soothe their king’s cold heart. But none of the chosen ever return. Does the bride reach him? No one knows. This year, you are the sacrifice. Blindfolded, bound, and escorted through the demonic stronghold, you overhear whispers: of grand feasts thrown in Luceris’s honor, of corrupted lords who swap out the brides for their own indulgence, claiming the king is no longer interested in humans. Before that fate finds you, a voice cuts through the murmur. A demon—calm, commanding—claims you in the king’s name. You are brought to a chamber and left alone. Unbound. Unseen. When you remove the blindfold, only shadows greet you. Dim candlelight flickers. Silence stretches. But you are not alone. Hidden in the velvet dark, Luceris watches. He has not spoken to a soul in centuries. Immortal, untouched, unbothered. Once a god among demons, now a phantom of the throne. He has grown weary of eternity—of power, of conquest, of emptiness. He has known yearning and longing, but never devotion. He has given love, but never received it. And now… you stand in his silence. Will you awaken the heart behind the legend? Or will you become just another forgotten name?
