Her journey is one of reluctant acceptance, as she transforms into the leader her people desperately need. Mirak is driven by an insatiable desire to understand the magic that shapes their world. His quest leads him into the clutches of an empire, where he becomes enslaved as a Publici. Determined to break free, he must master the very magic that binds him, turning his chains into sources of strength and liberation. Unbeknownst to them, hungering gods pick at the carcass of a dying world—a time when the Infinite Arcana was whole, unbroken into Essences, and humanity remained in the dark. For over one hundred centuries, the Ninth Age of Stagnation has reigned, bringing war, strife, and the suffocation of knowledge. In a world teetering on the edge, will these unlikely contenders rise to become heroes, or will the malicious powers that haunt their steps consume them entirely?

The light is here because the darkness exists. Just like that, the human realm exists because the demon realm is here. And in the great palace of the Blade Empire, a crown touches the peak of its glory before it falls from its grace. Lush Von Blade, the royal crown prince of one of the greatest Empire in the southern continent. He is loyal but betrayed. On the other hand, where even the Gods fear to set a foot on, a demon lord abides. His grace and cruelty have been unseen for centuries. He is the supremacy in the three realms. While Lush is the light, he is the darkness. Each exists because the other is here.

Princess Aralyn brings ruin wherever she treads—fields wither, storms rise, and lives are lost. Exiled for a curse she cannot control, she is forced to leave behind her kingdom and her crown.

Kael, a brooding mercenary with a haunted past, wants nothing to do with royalty. But when fate entwines his path with Aralyn’s, he reluctantly becomes her protector. As danger and betrayal follow them at every turn, their fragile alliance begins to shift into something neither of them expected. But in a world where trust is dangerous and love comes at a cost, their growing bond may be as dangerous as the curse itself. With the Shadow Regent scheming to seize the throne and an ancient prophecy foretelling destruction, Aralyn must make an impossible choice: sacrifice her heart to save her kingdom, or risk everything to hold on to love.

To create the foundation for a new world, under the gaze of the Gods.” “With my Quill, my Thorn Crown, and my Scholar’s Armor… I shall become “Lord.” In Their will.”

"In a world divided into five continental countries, with the middle continent serving as a volatile buffer zone, tyranny reigns supreme in the southern continents, each governed by a ruthless monarch. The most dominant force in this oppressive empire is the Church of the Sun, where the Pope holds the highest authority, serving as both religious leader and king. The Church's power is further bolstered by the 12 Paladins and 24 Reverend Fathers, backed by an army of clergy soldiers. The catalyst for this tale is the infamous 'Day of Unity,' an event that transpired roughly 50-55 years ago. On this day, nations from across the continents gathered for diplomatic relations, only to face a treacherous assault by the Pope and his ruthless army. In a shocking turn of events, the Pope's forces attacked all attending nations, seizing their lands, and compelling the surviving members of royal families and their people to pledge loyalty to the oppressive empire. Yet, the kingdom of Valkenburg, renowned for its advanced military and impenetrable defenses, remained untouched, as their wise king sent only an emissary to the event. In this world, the mystical power of 'wave energy' flows through the veins of every individual, with each person born possessing a unique affinity. With rigorous training, they can harness multiple affinities. But there's more to this universe than meets the eye. Rift Gates scattered throughout Earth lead to other realms. These gates are largely controlled by the imperial army, except for those hidden in free territories or the untamed eastern regions. The alternate realms include 'The Realm of Disorder,' 'The Shadowlands,' 'The Land of the Fel' (comprising seven colossal circles, each the size of a solar system), 'Wonderland' (a heavenly realm with light-type beings and five expansive circles, symbolized as 'the five circles of the rainbow'), and 'Verdana.' At the pinnacle of this intricate universe stands the Titanomachy, god-like beings who rule over these realms and influence magic on the mortal plane. They are the architects of this fantastical world, each possessing unrivaled power and purpose. Amidst this intricate tapestry of realms, magic, and political intrigue, 'The Knight of Roses' embarks on a journey filled with danger, discovery, and destiny. The Main Character, Arryn of Asa, a battle-worn mercenary with a shadowy past, will navigate the tumultuous landscapes, confront the horrors lurking in the cursed forests, and delve into the mysteries of the dark lord and his connection to the shadowy figure. As the story unfolds, the MC will find themselves at the center of a brewing conflict, where loyalties will be tested, alliances forged, and the fate of nations hanging in the balance." written by yodyo10/pendragondyo
