The Begotten Fiend

Nash was never meant to exist.

An illegitimate son of the empire’s greatest noble, he lives in the shadow of a throne he cannot claim, tolerated but never accepted.

Until the night everything is taken from him.

Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, betrayed by those who feared him, Nash is cast out from the royal peerage and left to rot as a disgrace to his name.

But what they didn’t understand—

Nash does not see the world the way others do.

To him, magic is not mystery. It is structure. Logic. Computation.

And systems… can be broken.

As he descends from nobility into exile, Nash begins to unravel the very foundations of magic itself, rewriting spells, bending rules, and evolving beyond what the world believes possible.

The empire cast him aside as a mistake.

They may come to regret that.
