Synopsis

In a world where chaos and destiny collide, 'Dark Prince' introduces young Alexander, chosen vessel for a malevolent chaos spirit. Yet, the legendary warrior Parmenion has achieved a small, miraculous victory: Alexander's soul has not been annihilated, but rather merged with the dark entity within him. This tenuous union ignites an internal battle between light and shadow, with Parmenion serving as Alexander's steadfast guide. Meanwhile, in a parallel Greece—a realm where the creatures of ancient myth thrive and a demonic king wields the chaos spirit's power—a prophecy foretells the arrival of a 'golden child' who will restore fading magic. Believing Alexander, imbued with the chaos spirit, to be this fabled child whose heart promises immortality, the demon king lures him into his twisted dominion. Only Parmenion, aided by the prophetic Derae—his lost love from another life—can hope to rescue Alexander from the demon king's clutches, all while fighting the encroaching darkness threatening to consume the young prince's very soul.
