Do you dare visit Sangraal?
Death was supposed to be the end for Rigel. Unfortunately, he caught the interest of a vile god. Ripped away from his world and all that he held dear, Rigel is thrust into the ruthless world of Sangraal, where gods walk amongst mortals.
Rigel must gather all his wits and dirty tricks to survive this brutal and unforgiving world. Meanwhile, his inner darkness threatens to twist him into something he doesn’t want to be. To navigate the quagmires of lies and betrayal, Rigel needs power.
But power comes at a price. For Rigel, that price might be too high.
Rated 'D' for Dark!

This story contain a regular dose of despair that needed to sustain my meaningless life. This story have a blissful hope and bitter despair that can make someone with a weak heart cry and somone like me trembling in delight.
But sometimes the storyflow are a bit hard to decrypt, so i need to read it twice or thrice.
Still, i love this story! And i can say proudly that:
'I'M YOUR FAN!'
Damn. An story that is actually crafted. There should be a tag for the few ff on this site that are. Damn good. Author has actually well thought out the plot with complex forethought and foreshadowing. Characters actually have real character. The world actually has depth.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Wish the MC didn't go all kill so easily so quickly and I guess that it was less DARK. But eh, still great!
It's not bad at first. I like the MC and humor. (Though couldn't get some jokes) But it reached to a point where I don't understand what I'm reading. I don't see what's the point of hiding his real identity(from earth) anymore. If I had to say it's a poorer version of Berserk.
Don't get me wrong, I very much like how MC is against gods and all that. It was a good idea. But the cheats aren't very good asides from the Knowledge one. I think there are a lot of points that needed to be cleared up first. The MC is very naive and keeps making the same mistake. Bringing danger to those who save him or around him. Anyways, this Review is just something short and don't want to expand to much.
The village arc was the best arc
Good dark fantasy, made me cringe and gave me feelings of wanting to stop reading it....but its just so addictive. However title doesn't really show clearly how dark the story is.
As of this point, there are 16 chapters out. I'd say to those of you who have standards when it comes to chapter length/# of chapters released that the chapters feel flush with words. Although I certainly respect you guys, because if I wasn't so bored I would've waited too lol.
So the first three chapters are kind of confusing, but once you pass that gap it evolves into a standard transported to another world story. Then it evolves again into a standard revenge story. I'm sure it will evolve a third time, but that's where we're going so far. The MC is not boring, but doesn't really get interesting until he's in bartertown. The motivations of other characters are kind of standard, but there's no issue with me about that.
Story is relatively fast paced. It's chapter 16 and we're already gearing up to move to our third location. No complaints there, but it's to early to tell what kind of growth the MC has. It's kind of vague whenever he uses his powers, or maybe my brain glossed over it? The fastness of the story leaves some things unanswered. Like I want to know more about his powers, more about the monster at the bottom of the lake cave, how he went and skipped? the passage of might to using the god's power. I totally don't remember him getting his might power, the way he gets his powers from the god of sacrifice had me lead to believe it was gained in stages, but I guess we're dropped hints since the first kill...
In closing, this is an interesting story that isn't painful in the least to read.
Note to the Author: It seems that your (insert adjective here) effort for reviews has worked.... -The Bus Lurker
I did not rate it 5 stars because I think that the author insist too much on some emotions, (especially with the elf)i know that it is a central part of the story but I find I enjoy it less now than I did at the beginning. But it might be because there are not enough chapters and as a result it is less diluted. This is however a matter of taste i believe I think the reason I am so critical is because I am comparing this story to the broken empire series where the main caracter also did whatever it took to aclompish his goals .Overall the story is really good and is one of the best on royal road and has a lot of potential i can't wait to see where this will go
This is great stuff! I look forward to reading more of your work.

I will be short and concise, this is an amazing work in progress, long chapter, deep development.
You won't regret sacrificing some time to read this story !
Your story, my dear good sir has a good pacing which for me, is a key factor to even read the whole story.
Style is great, not confusing for me on what the current chapter is pertaining to its reader.
Grammar is not sore on my eyes in the least.
The character building of the MC is great, not getting OP too much and too soon is really a great treat for me. It's like I always have something to look forward to in your story.
Just something though about the ones being close to the MC always in the face of danger...it's just too unsettling for me like..will every girl of the MC suffer worse than the previous one? I can't rest easy after reading a chapter if you know what I mean and it's GOOD is what I'm saying. It makes me go anticipate that something fair will happen for the MC. Well, 'tis just my thoughts though.
Four stars for me. definitely worth to read.
Started kinda messy but it kept getting better! Cheers!!👍
