Lucien Lunaris

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all. *********** With a grin that made her uneasy, he handed the application to her. “Approve this one.” Principal Jameson’s curiosity got the better of her as she took the paper from him, her eyes scanning the text. Almost immediately, her breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening in disbelief. “What the...?” “It’s perfect, isn’t it?” Asher’s voice was almost gleeful. Fucking psychopath! Jameson could hardly believe what she was reading. “Mr. Nightshade, with all due respect, this applicant….this girl just admitted to—” She couldn’t even finish the sentence, still horrified at the explicit nature of the application. Taking a deep breath, she continued, “I’m sorry, but I cannot approve this.” “She’s issued me a challenge,” Archer said, a dark gleam in his eyes. “What?” “‘Wait till you see me in bed,’” he repeated the bold line from the application, his grin widening. “And I can’t wait to find out.” “Mr. Nightshade—” He stood up, cutting off her protest as he fixed her with an intense stare. “Approve the application. I won’t ask again.” Without waiting for her response, Asher strode out of the office, confident she would follow his orders. He always got what he wanted. Archer Nightshade walked down the hall, a spring in his step. For the first time in a long while, he felt alive, his blood pulsing with excitement. The other Cardinal Alphas had no idea what he was up to, but it would soon hit them. He’d just set the game in motion. And the target was Violet Purple. It was game on. Note : This is not your average werewolf story. Eveything you think you know about werewolves would be challenged in this book. And yes, it is reverse harem. Do give the book a try.

Dua abad setelah Perang Besar, perdamaian antara manusia dan manusia serigala akhirnya tercapai, atau setidaknya itulah yang dipercayai semua orang. Manusia serigala berkuasa seperti dewa, dan manusia tetap tidak menyadari tempat sebenarnya mereka dalam tatanan dunia baru. Untuk menjaga keseimbangan rapuh ini, setiap tahun, sejumlah kecil manusia "beruntung" dipilih dari berbagai distrik untuk menghadiri Lunaris Academy, sebuah institusi bergengsi yang menjanjikan kejayaan, status, dan kesempatan untuk bergaul dengan para elit. Mereka yang terpilih dipuji sebagai segelintir yang beruntung, yang diproyeksikan untuk menikahi alfa yang kuat dan naik menjadi luna. Tahun ini, Violet Purple termasuk di antara yang terpilih, yang mengejutkan semua orang. Bagi seorang gadis yatim piatu yang diadopsi oleh seorang pelacur yang tercela, ini adalah tiket emas menuju kehidupan yang lebih baik atau setidaknya demikian yang diberitahukan padanya. Tapi Lunaris Academy bukanlah surga yang digambarkan. Segala yang diajarkan kepada Violet dan rekan-rekan manusianya adalah kebohongan. Manusia jauh dari setara; mereka hanyalah pion dalam permainan yang jauh lebih besar. Akademi ini hanyalah sangkar emas, dan para siswa adalah domba yang menuju pembantaian, mainan bagi para alfa untuk bermain dalam permainan kejam mereka. Lebih buruk lagi, Violet menarik perhatian para pemain paling berbahaya dalam permainan ini, Empat Teror: Alfa Utara, Alfa Selatan, Alfa Timur, dan Alfa Barat. Masing-masing lebih berbahaya, lebih kejam, dan lebih kuat daripada yang terakhir. Namun di antara mereka sendiri, para alfa terpecah, masing-masing dengan ambisi mematikan mereka sendiri. Namun, mereka semua memerhatikannya. Mereka mengharapkan Violet untuk mengikuti, untuk tunduk seperti yang lain yang menyembah di kaki mereka, untuk hancur di bawah permainan mereka. Tapi Violet tidak seperti yang lain. Dia menolak untuk tunduk. Dia akan menentang mereka semua.

In the decaying heart of the Aureline Dominion, Karl Redhouse is no longer a forgotten background figure—he is the reluctant hero cursed with Return by Death. Each time death claims him, he is reborn at a predetermined “save point,” trapped in an endless cycle of loss and renewal. For centuries, this cruel fate has forced him to witness countless lives, battles, and betrayals, each rebirth etching deeper scars on his soul. But as the ruins of his crumbling world echo with the secrets of the past, Karl begins to suspect that his curse might also hold the key to his liberation. Driven by a desperate need to break the cycle, Karl embarks on a perilous journey through the forgotten districts of the Dominion. Guided by an ancient tome and the cryptic prophecy of an event known as the Eclipse of the Eternal, he delves into ruined temples and secret sanctuaries where the ancient magics of Curse and Spirit intermingle. With each step, he confronts the duality of his nature—balancing the destructive power of his Curse magic with the transcendent force of Spirit magic—in hopes of unearthing a way to rewrite his destiny. Parallel to Karl’s grim odyssey in the physical realm unfolds the vibrant digital saga of Wraithbound Chronicles. In this immersive virtual world, legendary heroes like Darian Blackwood and Lucien Ashford enact their mythic destinies, celebrated by multitudes and woven into the fabric of popular lore. While their dazzling exploits captivate the realm’s imagination, Karl’s personal struggle remains shrouded in solitude and suffering—a dark counterpoint to the heroic narratives of the game. Haunted by the echoes of countless past lives and driven by a spark of rebellious hope, Karl sets out to confront the hidden forces that control fate itself. Amid conspiracies orchestrated by secret organizations like the Inverted Sky and the looming threat of an encroaching Mirror Dimension, he must unravel the ancient mysteries of the Dominion. Only by embracing both the light and darkness within him can he hope to shatter the bonds of his cursed immortality and claim a future of his own making. In a world where death is a beginning and every resurrection is a chance to change the course of destiny, Karl Redhouse’s journey is a desperate, solitary battle against time itself—a quest to reclaim life from the clutches of eternal recurrence and to forge a destiny free from the shackles of the past.

"Embrace your dark side, just like me. Make those who hurt you suffer. Become my Dark Luna and moan beneath me every night.... That's what I want from you" He said in a commanding tone.. **** Elara Lunaris is an omega cursed by the Moon Goddess herself—born with dark powers and burdened with a prophecy that says she will either save the world or be the destruction itself. Branded as the Cursed Dark Omega, she is shunned by her own pack, despite being the daughter of its rulers. Scorned by her parents and despised by her people, she lives a life of an outcast, haunted by a fate she never chose. Her life takes an even darker turn with the rise of the Forsaken *twisted, cursed wolves consumed by darkness and rage,* threatening to tear apart the fragile balance between the packs. When the Forsaken attack her home, the ruthless Lycan King and Supreme Alpha, Kael Vyrean, steps in. Feared across the realm as the Demon Werewolf, Kael offers protection—but at a cost. He claims Elara as his fated mate and demands she become his Luna. For Kael, their bond isn’t about love. He wants her for reasons far more dangerous than anyone realizes. Her resistance and protests means nothing. Her parents, eager to be rid of their cursed daughter, hand her over without hesitation. Forced into the arms of a demon Lycan werewolf, a soulless being carved from death itself, one who possess demonic powers and kills without blinking. A man who screams evil, deadly and powerful in every way. Will she learn from him and become a dark soul herself? Will she save her pack from the impending doom of the Forsaken? No!! One thing is certain—she won’t lift a finger to save the very people who caused her relentless pain and humiliation. The fate of the world rests in her hands. To save it… or to let it crumble. They expect her to submit, to bow like she always did. To be their salvation. To become their obedient saviour. The same people who scorned her, who called her cursed and evil, now beg for her mercy, hoping she will wield the Moon Goddess’s dark power to protect them. How hypocritical!. But guess what? She doesn’t. She doesn’t kneel. She doesn’t obey. Instead, she embraces the darkness, her dark and evil side, shatters their expectations, and becomes the monster they should have never dared to create. *** "I'll only agree to be mated to a man who can fuck—one who's extremely good in bed." Kael growled, his fangs grazing her throat as he pressed her against the bed. The weight and heat of his body making her shudder. "Those were your exact words." His hand trailed lower, fingers teasing her heat. Without giving her what she wanted. "So be a good girl and spread your legs for me… so I can prove how worthy of a mate I am and how lucky you are to have a mate like me..." His voice was hoarse and commanding. *** Note: There's smut/mature content sprinkled throughout this novel, so if you're up for it, grab your popcorn and dive in!!!

Taryn fights monsters. Lucien is one. Season 1: Forced to team up by the very council she’s made to serve, Taryn finds herself trapped with Lucien—a vampire with too many secrets and a smile that makes her blood run hot. In the midst of growing dangers, the two of them must work together to survive. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where the real threat lies—outside their walls, or between them. Lucien knows better than to care. He’s spent years perfecting the art of detachment, but something about Taryn makes it impossible to stay indifferent. The fire she carries is fierce, dangerous—and every moment with her only stokes the flames higher. Bound by circumstance and haunted by shadows neither of them can outrun, Taryn and Lucien are playing a game they can’t afford to lose. The fire between them grows hotter with every step, but giving in might cost them everything. Some fires are meant to burn. Others consume. This one could destroy them both. Season 2: Framed for assassinations they didn’t commit, Taryn and Lucien are thrust into a deadly game where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As the fragile peace between powerful factions begins to unravel, they must navigate a labyrinth of secrets and lies, uncovering dangerous truths about those who seek to control them. As tensions rise, their bond is tested in ways neither anticipated, and their personal struggles threaten to fracture their fragile partnership. Against the backdrop of a brewing war, new allies and enemies emerge, challenging their notions of trust and loyalty. As the season hurtles toward its climactic revelations, Taryn and Lucien must decide what they are willing to sacrifice—and who they can rely on—in a world that seeks to tear them apart. Season 2 is a story of survival, betrayal, and the unyielding strength found in the most unexpected places. Season 3: When safety is a fleeting memory and enemies circle ever closer, Taryn, Lucien, and Kah’el find themselves bound by necessity in a secluded forest haven. As mysterious threats prowl the shadows and signs of encroaching danger multiply, the trio works to fortify their defenses while grappling with unspoken tensions and buried truths. Strange tracks near their clearing suggest a threat greater than any of them anticipated, forcing them into a delicate balance of survival and trust. For Taryn, every decision risks fracturing the fragile alliance that’s formed between them, as the boundaries of loyalty blur and their individual pasts clash with their shared present. Season 3 is a tense, character-driven exploration of resilience and vulnerability, weaving quiet moments of connection with the ever-looming threat of a deadly unknown. In the end, it’s not only the beasts in the woods that must be faced, but the fears—and desires—they’ve long kept hidden.

Attention ! Ce livre est très apprécié ! Le roi Lucien la hait plus que tout au monde, car elle est la fille du roi qui a tué sa famille et l'a réduit en esclavage, lui et son peuple. Il l'a faite devenir son esclave. Il la possède, et il lui fera payer au centuple tout ce que son père lui a fait. Et son père en a fait, beaucoup. Il l'a marquée au point d'en faire le roi puissant mais endommagé qu'il est devenu. Un roi qui lutte contre la folie chaque jour ; un roi qui déteste—DÉTESTE—être touché ; un roi qui n'a pas bien dormi depuis quinze ans ; un roi qui ne peut pas produire d'héritier à son trône. Oh, combien va-t-il la faire payer ? Mais encore, la princesse Danika n'est rien comme son père. Elle est différente de lui, trop différente. Et quand il a décidé de se venger, il était destiné à découvrir à quel point elle est différente de son père. C'est l'amour qui jaillit d'une haine profondément enracinée. Êtes-vous aussi intéressé par ce voyage que moi ? Alors, attachez vos ceintures. On part pour un trajet mouvementé !

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

Lucien était plus que prêt à se lancer dans sa nouvelle aventure pour sauver un monde en déclin de la destruction dans le cadre du Projet Porte du Paradis.

Lucien, dont la nouvelle identité fut nommée Lux, se retrouva dans un monde où les ténèbres pouvaient être lumière, et la lumière pouvait être ténèbres. Un monde où la moralité n'était qu'une fine ligne séparant de la dépravation, et une fin heureuse ne pouvait être obtenue qu'en affrontant le monde et en le giflant avec une Légion des Immortels. ----------- Autres histoires de l'auteur.

Pure instinct to aid the weak. A noble impulse, right? My 'sin,' or perhaps my supreme stupidity, was trying to save a woman and her daughter from a brutal death. In the heat of the skirmish, a moment of carelessness cost me a gunshot. And then, the ironic confirmation of an old suspicion: the God of this world finds amusement in fallen heroes. Just as the darkness was claiming me, a strange phenomenon tore me from its jaws... only to throw me into the body of a noble baby, a child born with privileges, yes, but also with a curse. Lucien Whiteheart, his parents' fifth attempt at having an heir, was a doomed body. A grotesque curse denied them descendants, and now, I, a trapped soul, faced a premature death at the hands of enemies I never provoked. A blessing or a cruel joke of fate? I’ll find out, if I survive.

Instinto puro de socorrer al débil. Un impulso noble, ¿verdad? Mi "pecado", o quizás mi suprema estupidez, fue intentar salvar a una mujer y a su hija de una muerte brutal. En el fragor de la refriega, un mínimo descuido me costó un balazo. Y entonces, la irónica confirmación de una vieja sospecha: al Dios de este mundo le divierten los héroes caídos. Justo cuando la oscuridad me reclamaba, un extraño fenómeno me arrancó de sus fauces... para arrojarme al cuerpo de un bebé noble, un niño nacido con privilegios, sí, pero también con una maldición. Lucien Whiteheart, quinto intento de sus padres por tener un heredero, era un cuerpo sentenciado. Una maldición grotesca les negaba la descendencia, y ahora, yo, un alma atrapada, me enfrentaba a una muerte prematura por enemigos que nunca provoqué. ¿Bendición o cruel broma del destino? Lo descubriré, si es que sobrevivo.

"In a world where love is algorithmically optimized, Sierra wakes up every day in the perfect romance. The same man, the same love, the same morning coffee. But today, something is different.

“Power belongs to those who can conceal their emotions behind an unyielding mask.” Lucien Marcellus, though still in the bloom of youth, embodied an unshakable sense of control and mastery far beyond his years. His sharp gaze commanded fear, and his name carried a weight that left no room for disobedience. Servants trembled at his presence, and his friends, as ruthless as they were loyal, only strengthened his grip on those around him. Yet, Lucien was a man of detachment, an observer in a world he neither cared for nor sought to change. To him, life unfolded as it was meant to, a series of inconsequential events, none of which ever managed to spark his interest. His world was meticulously ordered, untouched by chaos, even when his father arrived home one day with a stranger in tow. The boy, Noah, introduced as Lucien’s cousin, was young, quiet, and entirely unremarkable. The boy’s sudden appearance raised more questions than answers, especially since no one had known of his existence until that moment. Lucien, true to his nature, dismissed the development as yet another insignificant twist in his father’s unpredictable whims. Until he found a peculiar book, one whose cryptic words seemed to draw a connection to the boy. Against his better judgment, he began to notice the boy’s every move, every glance, every hesitation. For the first time in his carefully controlled existence, Lucien’s mask faltered.

Where am I? What is this place?" Lucien said, bewildered at the unfamiliar surroundings. He remembered he was lying on his bed, now he was also lying on a bed, but the mat was made of unknown leaves, not like the foam on his bed. "Ding! Congratulations!" "The Many Children Many Blessing System is successfully integrated." Hearing the voice in his mind, he was shocked! He couldn't believe it. After all, the system was the golden finger of the transmigrators, their key to success in a new world. "Wait, wait. Transmigrator?" he said, looking around him. He looked at his hand, his fingers slender and strong, a far cry from the weak, trembling hands he had on Earth. He tried to stand up, and although this body was still weak, he felt that it was much stronger. "Does that mean I was transmigrated?" He looked around, searching for a mirror, but he found nothing. But he found a mug made of wood, full of water, on a small table made of bamboo beside him. He looked at the mug, his eyes widened in surprise. He didn't recognize the one in the reflection on the water, but he knew that it was him. The reflection on the mug has blonde hair,clear brown eyes and a handsome face.

Lunaris, the werewolf realm is not left untouched, a pandemic has wiped out 80% of the population of she-wolves, The majority of the wolf shifters have been rendered mateless, with no chance of propagating their bloodlines, driving the species closer to extinction. In this disturbing situation, there is just one solution...human mates. To survive, a fragile alliance between humans and the wolf shifter clans is formed, and thus the exchange is birthed. Word of the exchange has spread all across the city, and the government bargain with Lunaris.

But the Alphas are watching, their eyes already set on her and they do not intend to let their mate slip away.

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck.

Lucien, a young man haunted by a tragic past, finds himself brutally beaten and left for dead. But in the face of this horrific act, something unexpected awakens within him – a dormant power that shatters his fragile existence. Transformed in body and mind, Lucien discovers he possesses arcane abilities, a terrifying gift that sets him on a collision course with a world he never knew existed. Driven by a desperate need for answers and a burning desire for vengeance, Lucien embarks on a perilous journey. He seeks his brother, Lucifer, a fallen angel who, in a twisted act of betrayal, abandoned him to the darkness. Lucien's quest leads him through a world steeped in shadow, where ancient evils stir and malevolent forces manipulate the fates of mortals. Haunted by the ghosts of his past – the loss of his parents, the cruelty of the orphanage, the betrayal of those he trusted – Lucien grapples with his newfound power. He must learn to control the darkness within, to master his abilities before they consume him entirely. For in this world of magic and shadows, the line between hero and villain is blurred, and the price of power may be the very soul he seeks to reclaim. the imagery used for the novel is for the novel only copyright is not allowed join us on our WhatsApp group chat https://chat.whatsapp.com/BnU35frHBXvKuV05SnEsmu and also on our discord server https://discord.gg/pEuH6qBk

“Why struggle, you ask? What drives people forward, what is valuable enough for one's will to prevail? Have you ever stopped to reflect on the weight of your decisions, on the exact moment when things began to fall apart? You may never know where you went wrong, or if there was ever a right path. But here you are, the last vestige of humanity, moving not for hope or redemption, but driven by the stubborn will to defy those who destroyed your world. So you will fight, you will fight just to antagonize those beings who ruined everything you loved. Is that spark of defiance enough? Is that spark of defiance a worthy purpose to carry to the end? In a world on the brink of destruction, Lucien, the last survivor of humanity, faces his end surrounded only by the ruins of what was once a thriving civilization. Having lost everything and consumed by despair, a twist of fate takes him back to the past immediately after his death. Armed with the mysterious Gaia system, Lucien refuses to repeat the mistakes of the past and once again assume the mantle of hero. In his new beginning, he decides to operate from the shadows, becoming the unexpected variable that could alter the timeline and save humanity from its tragic fate. With renewed powers and steely determination, Lucien seeks to change the future and search for the answers he couldn't get in his previous life, facing challenges that test not only his strength but also his will to remain hidden in a world that constantly pushes him toward heroism.”

Vilaria is a land where fae dwell. Shouldn't they live in peace, happiness, and so on? Turns out that the fae are much more bloodthirsty and complex than what the stories had made us believe. When Nyx, a changeling, abandoned by her parents, becomes a new guard at the Court of Spring and Blossoms, she doesn't even know what perils await her. There is a revolution brewing in the realm of Kobolds, the Undine pirates have been ransacking the shores, the Sylph army is preparing to introduce the martial law and close the borders, and the Salamanders refuse to even attend the annual council. Yet the Seelies, creators of the world, do not care - they dance and drink in the shadowy realm beyond the reach of common fae, their mouths full of nectar as Vilaria crumbles. The only connection they have with the world is through Lunarie, fae of stars and moons who keep the portal to their realm hidden. But the faith in them is dwindling. Do they even exist? Are they the actual creators? Did they abandon their creation, or have they never had anything to do with it? Is it all a Lunarian ploy? If they don't care for the chaos... do they enjoy it? There are so many questions and so few answers. --- I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com.

This is a story that involves people, who, through the special markings at the back of their hands, have the ability to tap on the World's Essence (Magia) and bring the things they will into reality by casting spells. They are usually called Magia Wielders by the Non-Magus (None Magical humans). The strongest of them all are the four Arch Mages who each reigns their own kingdom. The Arch Mages, are supported by a set of seven powerful mages called the Head Mages. The Head mages have been given roles to support their own kingdom, some of which includes the command of elite mages. Together, they all ensure that their borders are always safe from the threats of rogue mages, magical creatures, monsters and even from other kingdoms and their citizens are living in peace. Lucien is a young mage studying at Reignia Magic Academy, and dreams of becoming a powerful Magia Wielder who will one day surpass the current Arch Mage of Reignia. Before Lucien could reach his dream though, he still needs to prove his worth, learn, bond, get stronger and eventually graduate from his school to initially become one of the Elites. One day, at the start of his classes, this young mage encountered something ancient at the Forest of the Lost- a twist of fate that will leave on him a lasting mark and will change his destiny.....forever.
