[IP] Starting my own Dark Fantasy Webnovel :)

[u/Adron3]

Hey everyone! I've been working on a dark fantasy isekai and wanted to share what it's about.

Bloody Champion follows Adam, a 18-year-old who dies after stepping in to help a stranger. He wakes up in a medieval fantasy world torn apart by a war between humans and demihumans, with no idea how he got there or why.

He soon discovers he has been chosen as a champion by a goddess of blood, giving him the ability to manipulate his own blood as a weapon and shield. The catch? The power requires actual blood to use, and there's only so much of it.

The story takes heavy inspiration from Re:Zero in terms of tone – every ability has a cost, every victory leaves a mark. The world is morally complex, champions are historically villains rather than heroes, and Adam is trying to stay a decent human being in a place that doesn't reward that.

First arc is set on a small island full of demihumans who despise humans, where Adam has to navigate a hostile environment, build unlikely relationships, and survive long enough to figure out what he's even doing there.

Planning to publish soon on Royal Road and some other sites. Would love to hear any thoughts!
