The Rules of Blood

In "The Rules of Blood" by Wulibear, a participant in the NovelFire Writathon challenge, the Senvia Empire plunges into disarray following the High Monarch's suicide. The core tenet of this world is that blood is paramount and Vita is the source of all life. Denegis Blanc, the second son of Blood Denegis, witnesses his tranquil existence shatter as peace evaporates. Facing a fractured empire where power is hereditary and destiny dictated by Vita, he must navigate the ashes of the old order. This slow-burn story features a weak-to-strong protagonist and a unique magic system, with harem elements. Inspired by history, mythologies, and philosophy, it will eventually incorporate kingdom building. The author is committed to a substantial narrative, with over 600,000 words already written and a projected 2 million more. Daily uploads of 1-2 chapters, each between 500 and 1500 words, are scheduled for 9 PM UTC. Readers can access up to six months ahead of the schedule through Patreon support.
