Beastly Lights By Theresa Jane

Lekan didn’t fall into another world with glory or purpose. He was dragged into it, bound, confused, and sold like an object in a dark auction house. Whatever life he had before was ripped away in an instant. He’s bought by a mysterious young noble named Prince Leo, who claims he needs people who can move unnoticed through the shadows of the imperial court. Lekan doesn’t understand the politics or the strange rules of this world, but he knows one thing: survive first, figure out the rest later. With Rowan, a stoic warrior carrying both wounds and secrets, Lekan is pulled deeper into a world of saints, curses, divine power, and a kingdom on the edge of something big. When they meet the Saintess of Solara, her magic not only heals, but also sees. She sees too much. Every step forward raises more questions. Why was Lekan brought here? Can he ever go back? And if he can’t… what kind of life can he carve out in a world that already feels like it’s watching him too closely? This isn’t the story of a hero. This is the story of someone trying to make sense of a life he didn’t choose, in a world that might need him more than he needs it.

The Price of Light Sometimes, to save the world, you must become its greatest fear. Seventeen-year-old Richard Hale has spent his whole life in a quiet farming village, dreaming of swords and glory — but never of destiny. When the kingdom’s prince arrives, demanding Richard by name, he’s dragged into a world of ancient bloodlines, forgotten magic, and a war the public believes ended long ago. At the heart of it all lies a terrible truth: Richard is the descendant of a hero who once saved the world by forging a pact with the gods. But that salvation came with a curse — one passed down through generations like a ticking bomb. Now, the kingdom believes Richard is their only hope against a rising darkness. But the more power Richard gains, the more he begins to change. Whispers call him "chosen." Others call him "monster." And as the line between hero and villain begins to blur, Richard must face an impossible question: If saving the world means losing your humanity… is it still worth it? In a world where trust is a weapon, sacrifice is currency, and light casts the longest shadows, Richard must decide what kind of legend he wants to become — or whether he’ll burn with the rest of them.

Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redo that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read Description: Moving past the death of his only friend and teacher. Orb heads into the world to find a way to die happy and fulfilled. Though the boy who lives in the present carries the weight of something that lived in the past. A curse, a blessing, a legacy. The story of those who carry things they should never have had to, and the choices of their lives which affect them and the world as a whole. Three chapters a week. link to cover artist: https://www.fiverr.com/winda_chu?source=inbox  Usually, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 words per chapter.

Aethelgard was swallowed by the grey. The Void, a cosmic imbalance twisted into a suffocating reality, has claimed the world, leaving behind only silence, ash, and forgotten ruins. Within this desolate landscape, a small child named Kael awakens, the sole survivor of a village erased from existence. Traumatized and alone, his only companion is a warm, guiding presence he names Vispera – a whisper of light and life in the all-consuming darkness. But Kael is not just a survivor; he is a vessel. Within him lies a raw, uncontrollable power, a pure light born from the Cosmic Equilibrium's desperate struggle against the Void. This power can push back the grey, repel its monstrous manifestations, and perhaps, restore what was lost. Yet, every time the light flares, Kael pays a devastating price – the Bedel. It steals his memories, his emotions, his fundamental awareness, leaving behind aching voids in his soul. Found by a wary group of survivors in a crumbling sanctuary, Kael's secret is revealed, forcing them to confront the terrifying choice: is the child a cursed harbinger of destruction, or their only hope against the Void and its tyrannical master, Lord Corvus? Bound by his tragic power and the ever-growing Debt of Light, Kael must learn to survive in a world that steals not just lives, but souls.
