About

Backstory

The chess piece crumbled to obsidian dust between seven-year-old Karim's fingers, each grain whispering secrets of kingdoms yet to fall. Lord Alaric Darkblade had commissioned the mystical set from a dying oracle, never suspecting his son possessed the rare gift to absorb strategic wisdom from enchanted objects—a power that would cost Karim a fragment of his humanity with each victory. That first touch ignited an insatiable hunger for conquest that no ordinary game could satisfy, driving him to orchestrate a real coup at fifteen using living pawns and breathing kings. The Darkblade family of Valoria had unknowingly unleashed something far more dangerous than a mere strategic genius: a predator who could taste victory in the dust of his enemies' dreams. By sixteen, Karim had learned to craft his own obsidian pieces from the crystallized fears of defeated opponents, each one adding to both his power and his beautiful, terrible isolation.
