Regicide: Weaving the Ultimate Dream in an Ecstatic Hell

Aetherion_Vael
"Beauty is the silken noose God grants the weak; madness is the only ladder to the throne." At the deepest level of The Somnium Sanctum—a vertical labyrinth of sin and celestial power—lives a secret the world was meant to forget. He is Soren. The unwanted bastard of a High Ruler, a carrier of the Forbidden Bloodline, and a survivor of the massacres that stained his childhood crimson. To the elite who haunt the Sanctum’s upper tiers, he is nothing but a "Broken Masterpiece." A blind, low-tier Illusionist clad in flowing, milk-white robes, his eyes forever hidden behind a silken blindfold. They pay fortunes to witness his fragile grace, relishing the sight of a fallen noble serving their every twisted whim. But they don't know the truth behind the silk. The blindness was his own choice—a calculated sacrifice to activate the Abyss Bone Tarot, a deck forged from the very spine of his martyred mother. While the guests lose themselves in the ecstatic dreams he weaves, Soren is cold-bloodedly dissecting their souls. He doesn't just provide pleasure; he harvests the very "Stars" that power their lives. From the filth of B1 to the god-like heights of the 13th Tier, Soren is climbing. Every "service" is a ritual. Every "guest" is a sacrifice. Every drop of blood spilled is a step toward the ultimate betrayal. The Kings of the Twelve Zodiacs believe they are safe in their heavens. They don't realize that the "Blind Lamb" they toy with is actually the Butcher, sharpening his cards in the dark. "Welcome to my dream, dear guest. In this sanctuary of ecstasy, death is the only luxury you’ll truly keep."

Beyond All Expectations

Eight years ago, a fifty-dollar bet destroyed three lives. Today, a million-dollar contract will force them back together. Nobutoshi "Nobu" Zeigler, the Iron Prince of a steel empire, and Josh Alexander were best friends harboring a desperate, secret romance. But when the suffocating pressure of Nobu's corporate destiny pushed them to a breaking point, a toxic challenge was issued in the heat of the moment. To protect his secret and prove his dominance, Nobu seduced their best friend, Rosaria "Sari" Leighton, only to publicly humiliate her the next day to save face. The brutal betrayal shattered Sari, drove Josh away in absolute disgust, and left Nobu to rule an empire built on crushing guilt. Eight years later, Zeigler Industries is bleeding out. To save his dying legacy, Nobu's father invokes an archaic, 25-year-old Mutual Preservation Pact, cornering the Leighton family and forcing an arranged marriage between Nobu and Sari. If they refuse, the financial penalties will bankrupt both of their bloodlines. But Sari is no longer the vulnerable girl they broke. She has forged herself into the "Tech Queen"—a brilliant, ruthless, and untouchable systems architect who treats intimacy like a security breach. Forced to walk down the aisle and share a home with the man she despises, Sari plans to keep her firewalls raised forever. Yet, during an isolated, off-grid honeymoon in the freezing mountains of Hokkaido, the corporate armor begins to crack. Stripped of their titles and their audiences, Sari discovers the haunted, deeply devoted man hiding beneath the Iron Prince's mask, igniting a feral, all-consuming passion that neither can deny. Just as Nobu and Sari begin to heal, the ghost of their third piece returns. Josh Alexander is now a battle-hardened FBI agent investigating a lethal cyber-terrorism plot aimed directly at Zeigler Industries. When his case brings him crashing back into their lives, the unresolved, suffocating tension between Josh and Nobu threatens to detonate. The two men have spent a decade starving for each other, paralyzed by historical guilt and duty. But Sari is no longer a pawn; she is a Matriarch. Instead of letting the past tear them apart again, she decides to rewrite the rules. She challenges the two most formidable men she knows to drop their defenses, stop running, and finally claim what belongs to them. As corporate sabotage escalates into life-threatening violence, Nobu, Josh, and Sari must confront the demons of their youth and fight for their future. In a world defined by ruthless boardroom politics and unforgiving legacies, they will forge an unbreakable M/M/F triad built on brutal honesty, fierce protection, and a love that defies all expectations.
