Rising Shield Hero

Decades after the war that sealed the world’s fate against Tyrus, the legendary hero Ray Stormbreak has become an eternal symbol. Now, a new generation of heroes rises amid the resurgence of an even older threat: Kairon, the Cosmic Emperor — an exiled entity once banished by Yon — returns to impose his vision of absolute balance upon reality, no matter the cost. In this new chapter of the saga, we follow Ryan Valeborn, a seemingly aura-less young man, constantly mocked and rejected, yet harboring a forbidden power within: Reversum, an ability capable of nullifying, reflecting, and reversing cosmic laws. By his side stand Ethan Stormbreak, son of Inavy and heir to the lightning and the legendary bloodline; and Ryu Nox, bearer of the shadowed balance between light and darkness. Together, they face their greatest challenge yet: the Hero Draft, a trial that will unveil the world’s future protectors — and determine who is ready to confront Kairon’s empire. With secrets from the past emerging, betrayals from former allies like Kai Hayashi, and new bonds being forged among the young heroes, Rise of Kairon is a story of legacy, resilience, justice, and the unyielding power of those who refuse to give up.

Eighteen-year-old Justin Chua thought his biggest challenge would be surviving freshman year at Westmont University. Instead, he finds himself caught between two worlds—one where his mixed heritage makes him an outcast, and another where ancient forces beyond human comprehension are stirring to life. After countless rejections from part-time jobs and feeling increasingly isolated on campus, Justin's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Lyra, a mysterious girl whose otherworldly beauty seems to defy natural laws. When she offers him a peculiar elixir that promises to change everything about his appearance, Justin must decide whether to trust this enigmatic stranger or continue living in the shadows of society's prejudices. But transformation comes with a price, and Justin soon discovers that his new appearance is merely the beginning of a much larger mystery. As he navigates his altered reality, he uncovers a hidden world of ancient magic, secret societies, and supernatural beings who have been manipulating human affairs for centuries. The elixir hasn't just changed how he looks—it's awakened something dormant within him, something that others will kill to possess or destroy. With each passing day, Justin finds himself drawn deeper into a web of conspiracy and danger. Strange abilities begin to manifest, shadowy figures watch his every move, and he realizes that Lyra's gift may have marked him as either humanity's greatest hope or its ultimate downfall. As dark forces converge on the university town, Marcus must learn to harness his newfound powers while uncovering the truth about his own heritage and the role he's destined to play in an ancient war that's about to spill into the modern world. In a tale that weaves together themes of identity, transformation, and the price of power, "Metamorphic Shadows Rising" follows Justin's journey from an overlooked outcast to a key player in a supernatural conflict that will determine the fate of both the human and magical realms.

If I asked you, what does it mean to be a hero, how would you respond? Is it fighting to avenge people you've lost? Rescuing others when no one else can lend a hand? Sacrificing your body for people who don't even know your name? Is a hero anyone who is strong, flashy, prestigious, or loves beating up bad guys? The country is in utter chaos as heroes and villains fight for survival. Everyone in between has lost someone. And everyone has their own ideals for what it means to be a hero. The story continues with Rhett, a nobody with no powers except one that lets him experience death over and over again. Can he save the ones he loves? Can he be the hero he wanted to be?

The world had shown Baines every possible lesson it could teach; from familial love, joy, and peace to hate, rage, betrayal, and pain. He got detached from his family by the wimps of others.

He was about to give up on life when an unforeseen opportunity presented itself. There, he vowed, "The world will bleed for what it has done to me." Using the greatest collections gathered by his ancestors, he set out on the thorny path to revenge. Little did he know, the result of his actions followed other cascading events that then threatened his world. Does he refuse to help the world because of the pain it had caused him? Or, will he join in the destruction? . . . Some of my characters might look familiar-you might save seen them in another novel- if you do, sorry. that's just how I imagine them.

In a world where power chooses the worthy and fate burns like a brand, only those who forge their own path can rise above destiny. Jin Kazematsu was born ordinary in a world where strength defines status and cultivation is the only shield against oblivion. In an age where Élantera—the primordial force that shapes life, spirit, and matter—governs the elite, Jin holds no heritage, no powerful clan name, and no visible talent. Yet destiny doesn’t ignore him. Branded by a mysterious sigil resembling a coiling dragon and burdened by dreams of flame and thunder, he steps into Dragon-Phoenix Academy, a sacred crucible where cultivators rise, fall, or vanish into legend. But Jin’s path is no ordinary one. When ancient relics test each cadet to reveal their destined cultivation path, he shatters tradition by resonating with all four—Pattern, Spirit, Body, and Glyph—awakening an emerald spear forged from his very will. As whispers of convergence stir among Elders and powers beyond the academy take interest, Jin finds himself at the heart of a mystery long buried—one that threatens to upend the very order of the cultivation world. As classmates become rivals, friendships blossom into complex bonds, and romance blooms beneath the weight of expectation, Jin must rise not just to survive—but to become the one who rekindles a forgotten legacy. A legacy tied to ancient dragons, buried bloodlines, and a war that never truly ended. In a world of trials, tribulations, and awakening flames... can one boy become the ember that sparks a new era?

In a world governed by six elemental powers, where no one can wield more than two without succumbing to destruction, balance has been the key to survival. But balance is fragile, and chaos is rising. Among the seven ancient families who once protected the world, a prophecy whispers of a Chosen One, a child born with the potential to wield all six powers. Yet this prophecy also brings a shadow—a fear that such power could either save the world or destroy it. The youngest heir of the seven families, a ten-year-old boy, lives unaware of his destiny. Like his six friends, he believes he can wield only two powers, unaware that his extraordinary spiritual strength has already begun to unlock something far greater. His parents and elders, haunted by the prophecy, recognize his unique gift—a bloodline so strong that it could awaken powers beyond comprehension. Their awe is matched by their fear: his potential could make him a savior, or the very force that plunges the world into chaos. When rival magical families, driven by greed and ambition, learn of the boy’s existence, they launch a devastating attack on the seven families, aiming to capture him and exploit his untapped potential. The elders, realizing the magnitude of the threat, make the ultimate sacrifice to protect their descendants. In a desperate act of magic, they send the heirs of each family—including the youngest—to a secret sanctuary, shielding them from the world while ensuring they can train and grow strong. Years pass, and the heirs, now young adults, must emerge from their hidden refuge to confront the chaos overtaking their world. The youngest, still unaware of his true potential, discovers the truth of his lineage and the prophecy that foretells his role as the Chosen One. But the journey ahead is fraught with peril. His ability to wield all six powers defies the natural order, and his spiritual strength makes him a target for those who would manipulate him—or destroy him. Guided by his six companions—four boys and three girls, each carrying their own family’s legacy—the Chosen One must navigate a world on the brink of collapse, uncover the secrets of his powers, and face the terrifying truth of his destiny. Will he restore balance, or will his existence bring the chaos he was born to prevent? In a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the burden of unimaginable power, The Legacy of Seven explores the fine line between savior and destroyer, and the choices that define a hero.

Two hundred years ago, the Varnok descended — primal horrors immune to blade and bullet. Humanity teetered on the edge of extinction until the Origins appeared, beings of unfathomable might who gifted the world Essence Magic and drove the monsters back. Now, the last bastion of mankind survives on a single continent: Valeria. In this new age, adventurers climb the ranks of power known as the Flame Ascension, battling monsters, exploring ancient ruins, and defending peace bought with centuries of sacrifice.

But when a Varnok horde attacked his village and left his brother broken and near death, Kael tasted the bitterness of helplessness—and it changed him forever. Years later, Kael stands at the bottom of the path his brother once walked. With only average talent but an indomitable will, he throws himself into training, determined to climb through pain, loss, and fear to reach a strength few dare dream of. But as Kael rises, something stirs in the shadows. Forgotten rituals resurface. The Varnok grow bolder. And the truth behind the Origins’ arrival may be far darker than anyone knows. When the last flame rises, will it be salvation… or the world’s end?

With his cunning mind and relentless drive, he grows stronger with each kill, proving that the apocalypse is his domain.
