The Elemental Duality

Synopsis of The Elemental Duality: Aelar, a warrior born from the clash of two opposing forces, is a living embodiment of elemental chaos. His body crackles with the destructive power of lightning on one side, while the other side radiates the calm, fiery essence of gold. With a blade forged from this duality—half katana, half short sword—he is both an instrument of destruction and a protector of balance. But the balance within him is fragile, torn between the primal forces that rage within and the cold, calculating logic that governs his every move. The world of Rythia is on the brink of collapse as the Elemental Lords—Ignis, Voltaris, Oceania, Gaia, and Aeris—clash for dominance, each seeking to harness the raw power of the elements for their own vision of the future. As elemental storms ravage the land, cities fall, and ancient beings rise from their slumber, Aelar is thrust into a battle far beyond his control. Each Elemental Lord seeks to claim him, seeing his unique power as the key to reshaping the world in their image. Torn between loyalty to his friends, the wisdom of his mentors, and the allure of absolute power, Aelar must confront his inner demons while deciding where his true allegiance lies. With the world breaking apart and war on the horizon, Aelar’s struggle for balance becomes the fulcrum upon which Rythia's fate hangs. The question is not whether he will succeed—but whether he can maintain his humanity in the face of the overwhelming power that seeks to consume him. Will Aelar find peace in the storm, or will his elemental duality tear him apart? The fate of the world depends on the answer.

ONEDAY I WOKE UP AND HAD A FIANCE

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 45, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante, and the shocking news of an impending fiancé. The man who approached her, raven-haired and smiling with an unsettling charm, was none other than her once-rival from the court. A man she had both loved and loathed in equal measure. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—her eternal adversary—now her betrothed? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she trust the man who once stood as her greatest enemy? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

The Reader will create his own ending

"No matter how many times i pinch myself, the results remain the same. It really is the Flaura City huh?" said Blaze while looking around. Blaze Ignis (a 18 - years old high schooler) one day , suddenly wakes up to find himself in a field of beautiful flowers and soft grass. He remembered reading his favorite novel and wishing he would just transmigrate as one of the characters of the novel and get rid of his shitty life, before falling asleep. This novel was more precious to him than his own life (not exaggerating). it was what kept him going, when he almost gave up on his life too many times....His parents were pressurizing him because of the college entrance exam , and of course the high school graduation exams. Always comparing him to his cousins, in EVERY damn thing, EVERY SINGLE DAY. Ignoring his own achievements and hard work. This has been going on for the past 5 years , since he was 13....his endurance was definitely at its limits. Anyways...seems like a god has granted his wish, except he is in his own body and he has a system which is not supposed to exist at "this" point in time. It also contains some skills he has never read about before...and the description box is just showing [???] , even some skill names are hidden in a similar way. His only objective is to prevent the tragedies that are to follow Frore (MC of the novel) and through a change of events , obtain the kind of ending he wants to see. But ,is it really as simple of a task as it seems to him??

I won't fight back against you, Veronica. I swear it on my honour and my life.» «That's so tempting, you know? Letting me do whatever I want...» I pull the side of the shirt apart, detaching the two buttons I forgot to undo. «Are you sure I'm a little lamb who won't take advantage of your offer?» I place a digit on his chest, making sure he feels the nail pressing. Since he doesn't react, I scratch him. Not too deep, just enough to make him realise I'm not joking. No reaction at all. Not even a frown. Not a single word. «Oh, I'm ready to test your honour tonight,» I whisper, dragging my hand on his stomach. *** Chat with the author!
