In a world where the unseen weaves fate and power is both a blessing and a curse, the awakened are called Phantoms—warriors bound to the spirits, their strength the only shield between humanity and annihilation.
Long ago, when the Wraithborn first descended—eldritch horrors that slithered from the void beyond existence—humanity stood at the edge of ruin.
The skies darkened, cities crumbled, and no blade nor bullet could harm these spectral abominations. Then came the First Call—whispers from the Spiritscape, a realm beyond mortal comprehension. Those who heard it awakened as phantoms, wielding power borrowed from spirits unseen, pushing back the darkness and carving the first fragile dawn of survival.
But survival had a price.
Phantoms became the weapons of the world. The Regency regulated the phantoms, dictating their purpose: to fight or be discarded. Yet among them stood the Crowned Phantoms, legends of their kind, those who had ascended beyond the ordinary, commanding the Spiritscape with unrivaled mastery. They were kings among warriors, epitomes of power, the history of the ones revered. Countless yearned to be crowned, to stand above all, to forge their names in eternity.
Kael Veyne wanted none of it.
Awakened at the age of three—far too young, far too dangerous—Kael understood what others refused to see. Power was not glory. Power was chained. The world loved its heroes when they won but discarded them the moment they failed. He watched as Phantoms bled, as the Regency dictated their lives, as those who sought greatness were crushed under the weight of expectation.
So he made a choice. He hid.
For years, he lived in the shadows, using his power only to protect himself, refusing to be another cog in the machine. He wanted a quiet life, a life that was his. But fate is never kind to those who defy it.
A single moment—an unseen ripple in the fabric of destiny—threatens to unravel everything. The Wraithborn are changing stronger, and no longer bound by the laws that once held them back. The Spiritscape stirs, its whispers louder than ever.
The Regency is watching. And in the depths of the unseen world, an ancient prophecy murmurs of an emperor who walks between realms, commanding the spirits themselves.
Kael has spent his life running from the inevitable. But when the tide rises and the world begins to shift, when all eyes turn toward him—will he remain a ghost in the crowd… or will the Spirit Emperor rise?

This novel is amazing, the story is intriguing the characters are well written and have clear personalities and not plain.The plot is amazing and has tons of potential, and for once it manages to surprise me, it wasn't predictable and repetitive.The MC is a villain that's a plus the FM is the same too.The personality of the MC grow with the story *SPOILER* from a rabid dog to a smarter and milder one after he learn about things his missed in the past. The world building still a bit shallow as the story is in its start but wherever the story go everything is explained.The chapters are long, so it is 3000 words of badassery (as the author said) which make the count double or almost triple the chapters, (other novels have 1000-1500 words per chapter).The author is so talented that I hate how much I love him 😂 😂 😂.It is worth the time try it you won't regret it!0 0 Reply

Honestly, this is a great novel. The bold harem aspect may be off putting to some, but I am actually enjoying it this time as it is slightly well written. The female characters have some sense of distinctness, and that is the author’s credit. The writing quality has never declined, or at least translations haven’t. Its a great read when you have nothing to do.0 0 Reply

Awesome! The story is hilarious.🤣The writing allows us to create a vivid image about the main characters and their personality. The change seen over the first 40 chapters is nice to see as well. 5/5👍 💪😄0 0 Reply

Progress: Chapter 41 (the one named "Chapter Forty" by the author).This should be more "No one under 17 admitted" and less "General Audiences".This review may contain light spoilers for the very early (mostly first) chapter.It's pretty much what I'm looking for in a story with an evil protag. Ruthless MC who still has some people he cares about and still has setbacks. Also one who knows when to back off.Writing Quality:Pretty Good. Half a star off for the occasional typo as well as grammar (such as full stops instead of question marks or a quote beginning with an apostrophe and ending with a double quote), but they are all pretty rare.Another half-point of for the Chapter Names, which are simply numbered (and off by one). I find those quite important. In my search for answers regarding my next point, I found out that the hated scrapers have chapter titles for the first 15 chaps, and those do match what I came up with in spirit. I don't know if this story once had Chapter Names or if the Pirates came up with them, either way they are better than what we have now.Stability of UpdatesIt's black magic to me. Most reviews I see are from two years ago where according to the ToC nothing was released. Chapter 6 (the one named "Chapter Five" by the author) was released before Chapter 1 ("Prologue"). There are also pretty large gaps inbetween chapters. I can only assume that maybe there was some heavy editing involved. I'ma give three stars for the recent chapters, but have honestly no idea what to make of the dates from the ToC in terms of stability.But I will positively point out that these are long chapters.Story DevelopmentAs the Sypnosis didn't make it clear for me: In the Prologue the MC goes from Broken to Slightly Overpowered, with hopes of becomming Completely Utterly Broken once he mastered Cultivation. As much as I usually dislike cultivation, this one pulls it of very nicely which I'd personally attribute to World Background. The Story progresses just fine (but without much time passing). Full marks from me.Character DesignAs there hasn't been much time which has actually passed in-story, we don't have that big an idea on the development. But the MC (if you forgot already: Evil, Ruthless, knows when to back off) does seem to adapt to his current situation(s). And the five years we time-skipped do seem to have made an impact (as we know he values his family). I'm letting you know that I'm not that picky here (especially when it comes to side characters, but they do seem to have personality for what I am concerned about), but I'll give it full marks.World BackgroundWe mostly only know what the MC knows when he encounters it in the world. I think this is isn't a bad thing, but I wish we knew slightly more. How many people have which cultivation rank? How many people are able to join that… institution he joins in what I think of as the second⁺ arc? As the MC doesn't seem concerned about these things (for he is one of the few people), we will also never know. We also don't know much political knowledge except for what can be found between the lines. I'll give four as what we have is sufficient for me to enjoy the work.Overall, I'd recommend it if you are into an Evil Protagonist Novel which is more then the simple "Revenge" plotline.0 0 Reply

Little did they know that not only did he get nothing but also he didn't even pass the first trial. The prince didn't say anything as he didn't want to embarrass himself and just didn't say anything. William then said:0 0 Reply
