Chapter 1: The Enigmatic Prodigy of THE REALMS
Seoul, the bustling city of dreams and ambitions, was home to one of the most prestigious high schools in the world—The R.E.A.L.M.S . Nestled amidst the gleaming skyscrapers and hidden away from the ordinary, this institution held a unique place in society. Managed by a consortium of influential individuals, including the heirs of colossal conglomerates from across the globe, R.E.A.L.M.S. was a crucible that forged future business leaders and fostered invaluable connections.
Within the hallowed halls of R.E.A.L.M.S., only the crème de la crème were admitted. The student body consisted solely of noble and affluent individuals, the privileged few who held the reins of power in their hands. Here, they were meticulously groomed to thrive in the modern world of cutthroat business. The school's reputation and exclusivity attracted the attention of aspiring entrepreneurs, eager to seize every opportunity to climb the ladder of success.
Amidst the sea of scions of great wealth and influence, there was one enigmatic figure that defied expectations—the seventeen-year-old Raven Horkrix. With an IQ exceeding 250, Raven possessed an unparalleled intellect, allowing him to perceive the world in ways that eluded even the brightest minds. But his exceptional abilities were accompanied by an unsettling darkness—an unsettling blend of manipulation and evil that set him apart from his peers.
Raven Horkrix hailed from a fallen yet illustrious noble lineage. Once, his family name commanded respect and admiration, but tragedy had befallen them, stripping away their glory. Driven by an insidious ambition that knew no bounds, Raven committed the unimaginable—he killed his own family. This vile act was a calculated means to secure admission to R.E.A.L.M.S. through the orphan quota. Disguised as a nameless, parentless boy, he emerged from the shadows, forging a new identity to serve his nefarious purposes.
The darkness that enveloped Raven remained a mystery to those around him. No one suspected the depths of his malevolence, for he wore a mask of innocence and vulnerability, an unassuming guise that concealed the darkness lurking within. As he stepped foot into the grand entrance of R.E.A.L.M.S., his eyes flickered with a cold, calculating gleam—a reflection of the devious intentions that lay dormant within his soul.
The whispers of his fellow students echoed in the corridors as Raven traversed the marble halls of power. Some regarded him with curiosity, others with envy, unaware of the sinister presence that stood in their midst. His newfound position at R.E.A.L.M.S. offered him a wealth of opportunities, fertile ground to sow seeds of manipulation and weave his intricate web of deceit. What intentions lay hidden behind those piercing, calculating eyes, only time would reveal.
As Raven embarked on his journey within the esteemed institution, the shadows cast by his past lingered, threatening to engulf him. He possessed a mind that surpassed the boundaries of mortal comprehension, a mind that craved power and dominance. The question that begged an answer remained: What would he do with the power he sought so fervently? What path would he carve through the halls of R.E.A.L.M.S., leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in his wake?
The first chapter of Raven Horkrix's story merely scratched the surface, hinting at the intricate web of manipulation and evil that would unravel with each passing day. R.E.A.L.M.S., the school for the elite, had unwittingly welcomed a viper into its midst—a viper with a venomous bite that threatened to shatter the foundations upon which its noble reputation was built....
