Credence

Not here for love, Not a hero either

Daphne Roasis is a modern day woman who travels back in time and wakes up inhabiting the body of a woman living in the middle ages. A noble born woman by the name of Lady Mariam of House Erayer. She's just gotten married is about to betray her new husband to please her secret lover who plans to kill her and her new husband once he's secured the man's station and fortune. Lady Mary is cruel, vain, selfish, stupid and gullible. She fully deserves her bloody end. But now Daphne is wearing her face. And her head is filled with memories as well as visions of the bloodbath that awaits them should the coup not be halted. Recognizing her circumstances and further struggling to understand them, Daphne realizes she was brought here to stop Lady Mary from committing an act of betrayal that would devastate the lives of hundreds of citizens. Her own people as she is now the wife of a Lord. At first, Daphne just wants to return home. Her circumstances are dangerous and she doesn't wish to bear this burden. She is in a foreign land, surrounded by people she does not know, a culture she doesn't understand, problems she did not create and in the body of a stranger. Each interaction with Mary's husband proves that he is a man of honor and would make for a very good partner for any woman lucky enough to bag him. She couldn't understand how Mary wasn't able to see his value and chose to hurt such a good man. Plus, he was insanely attractive. Daphne knows that Mary has already left a bad impression on her new husband with her rotten attitude and as such, he is not fond of her. Nor are any of the servants and knights. She decides the only way to create harmony and go about disrupting the coup is to come clean to the husband about who she is. Sir James Hamstead is completely baffled by his wife's sudden change in attitude. He doesn't know if she's trying to make amends for her mistakes or just playing games with him. He notices she's become much kinder towards his servants and no longer just yells at them. When she finally reveals her true identity, he's tempted to laugh it off as a bad joke. But she is adamant. She also reveals the coup that is about to unfold and the key players involved stating that Mary was one of them. She tells him of what will happen to his people should he fail to stop the takeover. Sir James is even more baffled, but now with a level of hostility. He doesn't believe Daphne's claims about her identity, but he does believe that she was indeed sent to be his weakness and destroy him. In a fit of rage, he has her thrown in the dungeons as he investigates her claims. The pair get off to a bad start, but Daphne knows she must be patient and understanding. It doesn't take long before Sir James comes down to interrogate her. At the persuasion of his personal knight, he agrees to move her from the dungeons and instead confine her to her bedchambers. Again. Soon credence of her claims come forward. It takes a while for James to believe she is not the woman who planned to betray him. It take even longer for him to believe that she wants to help him save his people. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months and before long romance blooms. James becomes very much attached to Daphne and acknowledges her as his real wife. He no longer sees Mary in her and hopes the other woman's soul never returns. Daphne too is having a conflict of interests. She's not here for love. Nor is she a hero. But now, it appears fate has thrust both upon her. How will she manage it?

A Second Chance To Reach The Peak

Imagine being able to see the pinnacle of Martial Arts, yet never being able to get a grasp on it. A life most would think of as fulfilling, but it is in reality nothing more than “not enough.” Despite his apparent indifference to not being able to reach the peak, the Primary Martial God Candidate Mira Unin had devoted his life to getting stronger and amassing the forces of the strongest possible members. He met his unfortunate end after robbing the Three Cult Coalition of their prized possession- The Righteous Passage Pill. They cornered him, who only had one arm, and allowed him a moment to repent before they killed him. ————————————————————————— “I pray to those above, or perhaps those below. Whether the recent rise of those who believe in reincarnation is true or not, whether those of the Demonic Sect have any credence in their prayers, and whether I was chosen for my lack of belief or not. I pray that this pill was worth it,” I finished, quickly reaching for the Righteous Passage Pill and chucking it into my mouth. I managed to swallow it whole before I felt several blades pierce my body. ————————————————————————— After thinking he was dead, he woke up in the Academy’s dorm, his right arm reformed and his life restored, alongside a newfound power. (I am the Martial Companion System that the host consumed when he ate what he called the “Righteous Passage Pill”. I am a system that inserts itself into the user’s brain, and helps them achieve their goal. Since the host has such a deep-rooted love for Martial Arts, I have adapted and became a Martial Companion System.) Can he use this second chance to reach the goal he was unable to reach before using his knowledge of his previous life as well as the system’s functions to his advantage? Will he recruit better Sect Members in this life, or will he repeat his mistake and focus on power?

BOOK YOUR ULTIMATE HOLIDAY!

historical novel, a novel that has as its setting a period of history and that attempts to convey the spirit, manners, and social conditions of a past age with realistic detail and fidelity (which is in some cases only apparent fidelity) to historical fact. The work may deal with actual historical personages, as does Robert Graves’s I, Claudius (1934), or it may contain a mixture of fictional and historical characters. It may focus on a single historic event, as does Franz Werfel’s Forty Days of Musa Dagh (1934), which dramatizes the defense of an Armenian stronghold. More often it attempts to portray a broader view of a past society in which great events are reflected by their impact on the private lives of fictional individuals. Since the appearance of the first historical novel, Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley (1814), this type of fiction has remained popular. Though some historical novels, such as Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace (1865–69), are of the highest artistic quality, many of them are written to mediocre standards. One type of historical novel is the purely escapist costume romance, which, making no pretense to historicity, uses a setting in the past to lend credence to improbable characters and adventures.
