Volatiles Dying Light

He was supposed to return home a hero. Instead, he brought a curse. Andravion thought the war would end with glory. Instead, he returned with blood on his hands, a divine guardian ripped from his soul, and a past that refuses to stay buried. The ocean whispers secrets. Monsters lurk beneath the waves. And the one person who once called him "brother"... now hunts him like prey. Haunted. Betrayed. Broken. As the gods play their cruel games, Andravion must choose: sacrifice what’s left of his heart—or doom the ones still clinging to him in hope. But when even love becomes dangerous... How do you fight a destiny written in blood? --- A slow-burn tragic fantasy where every choice cuts deeper than a blade. Expect heartbreak. Expect betrayal. Expect him to rise anyway.

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.

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.

What if the world was governed by hatred and hostility, with no laws to guide it—or even the illusion of laws? What if injustice eclipsed justice, and darkness swallowed the last remnants of light? What would we call such a world? This is the world in which our story unfolds.

Two Zatarian youths embark on a cross-dimensional journey to uncover their true identities, encountering both allies and formidable adversaries along the way. They must collaborate to decipher the significance of the symbol imprinted on them, but a faction known as the Nitharians seeks to eliminate them before they can uncover the truth.

“Obey the system. Fulfill your purpose. Or face the consequences.” Kael was born a loyal believer in the System — a society built on structure, promise, and control. He worked hard, followed every rule, and was destined for a life of success… until a vision of his dying mother shattered everything he thought was true. When Kael chooses rebellion over comfort, red over blue, he falls from grace — losing everything the System once promised him. But in a world where failure is punished, and dreams are labeled as delusions, Kael’s fight becomes more than survival. It becomes a question of what’s real, who decides your worth, and how far you're willing to go to reclaim your truth. Now marked as a failure, Kael must rise as a warrior — or be erased. For readers who love dystopian rebellion, emotional trauma, and stories where the mind fights harder than the fists. Will Kael prove the System wrong — or will the System prove he never mattered? “Light Over Darkness” In a world ruled by obedience, Kael was the perfect follower—until his mother’s memory shattered the silence. Now hunted by the very System he once trusted, he must choose: submit to control or rise for something greater. But every choice has a cost—and some awaken a war within.
