Lightning Returns Adoring Adornments

In a world filled with ability users, Vahn was among the unlucky few without an ability. And if that wasn't enough, he has the facial characteristics of the mysterious Witchmare family.

Cursed with perfect foresight in his second life as a noble heir, Aldrich Vale is dying of boredom. Every scheme, every political play, every "shocking" event at his prestigious academy unfolds exactly as he predicts—until he decides to break the system just to see it burn. But his game of chaos awakens something darker. Now childhood friends reveal deadly secrets, rival heirs circle like wolves, and ancient families move their pieces in a game far more sinister than he imagined. In a world where noble blood determines everything, Aldrich must realize: is he really the puppet master of chaos, or just another piece on someone else's board?

As a king standing at the top of the pyramid, he has long been accustomed to feeling superior. He is aloof and abstinent from women. Under various pressures from his family, he chose her. However, she reacted so slowly that it took her a long time to realize his feelings. Yet, on the day of the engagement, he appeared, holding another woman's hand. She froze in shock, unable to speak a word. "You know what? This is what you owe me!" he said nastily. Later, fate dealt her a cruel blow: the company collapsed, her father fell critically ill, and she was faced with a mountain of high-interest loans. Desperate, he pushed her to the brink and said, "I can help you out of this mess, but you have to be my mistress." Their relationship thus became a dance of love and hate. When he discovered she had a six-year-old son, he sneered, "What a shameless woman!" She was pursued by others, and he was very angry, "Stop flirting with other men!" Later, as her memories returned, her love and admiration for him turned into anger and hatred. He also deeply regretted and blamed himself after learning the truth, wanting to make up for it. "Let's get married." He said. "How dare you?" She replied with a sneer. She thought her revenge plan was flawless, but he was in fact very smart and had already spotted the flaws. He willingly stepped into her trap, betting that she still loved him...

The idea of an identical double of oneself is part of ancient German legends, a myth that has survived in various forms to this day. It is a subject full of mystery, a concept that inspires shocking stories, such as seeing one's own double and suffering a misfortune or a curse. Although, in strictly rational terms, these stories are nothing more than unscientific myths. Ethan's sister thought so too, until she was faced with what was in front of her. A doppelganger... Meeting one should be something unreal, something disposable; but what if someone's double was right next to you? The essence of a person cannot be defined in a single word. It is made up of their experiences, the places they have visited, their environment... Could there really be someone in the world capable of replicating all that? At first, the idea seems absurd. It is irrational. If someone familiar appeared, one would instantly notice any difference. And if you don't notice... are you just naive? Thinking logically, that's reasonable. Therefore, Ethan's sister couldn't understand what she had just heard. "You mean to tell me that you are my brother Ethan, the real one who disappeared in 2028, and that he is just your double?" In front of Ethan's sister stood two men identical in appearance and complexion. The year 2028... That was the year of "The Final Judgement" on Earth, when portals opened and released monstrous creatures, and there were those who "Awoke" with special powers. The coincidence was impeccable. October 26, 2028. That day was not only the final judgement; it was also the birthday of both men in front of her. One claimed to have been transported to a strange world called "Terra Abismo" and that he had just returned that day; the other insisted that it was absurd, that he had never left. Today is October 31, 2038. A day when children should be playing and laughing, and instead, this. Evidently, one of them is lying. Ethan's sister exhaled, frustrated. "This is crazy." It sounds like something out of a novel. A novel in which doubles exist.

7/31/2024~ In the process of editing and updating my earlier chapters. I personally believe the story starts to improve and find it's way a bit more around chapter 50+. Hopefully can make some adjustments in earlier chapters when I have the time, but pacing slows down into a more measured rate as I start finding my groove. I give the content more time to breathe instead of going so fast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the realm of Nexaria, where elemental spirits and divine beings shape the fate of the world as a land of mortals striving to become gods against the demons of the Abyssal universe, a young boy named Lassim Vanthar embarks on an extraordinary journey of advancement, adventure and becoming a bastion for those around him in their fight against the Dragal. Born into a noble family with a legacy of Fire elemental martial prowess, Lassim possesses an unparalleled gift on his 8th birthday—a connection to two differing elemental spirits, a feat unheard of in the history of his world. A gift and a tampering of the order until now that is an omen. It is a sign of the Gods influencing the future fate of Nexaria on a more serious level. Lassim must harness the power of his dual spirits to protect his loved ones and confront the looming threat of the Abyss' encroachment on his universe, but one step at a time as he grows from just a tool of the God's to a major power as the hero of not only Nexaria, but the entire universe. Lassim faces daunting challenges, battles fierce adversaries, and unlocks the mysteries of his own destiny that has been tampered with by the Gods of this universe. How will he react and adapt to his situations? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first ever novel. I’m a new author and still learning how to tell a story. Please understand that when reading. Thank you.

But fate had other plans. She was reborn, not as the powerful being she once was, but as a powerless orphan with her spiritual bones stolen, unable to cultivate. However, being a "waste" is no obstacle for Ji Wushuang. Her determination remains unbroken, and she quickly becomes the treasured disciple of the Five Great Masters. Yet, her happiness is short-lived. She soon discovers a shocking truth—her masters and fellow disciples, all of whom are heirs of the greatest fortunes, are nothing but "nourishment" for the so-called "Chosen Ones" in this world. Her First Master’s disciple, a genius in medicine and poison, is tricked and has her spiritual roots destroyed by a deceptive lover.

With a powerful vengeance, she unleashes her true power, determined to save her fallen disciples and protect them from the sinister forces at play.

In a world where destinies are manipulated and heroes fall, Ji Wushuang rises again. She rekindles her masters’ and disciples' broken spirits, helping them all transcend their pasts. Reborn with unmatched power, they become ruthless warriors, each more formidable than before. Ji Wushuang, the once powerless "waste" disciple, is now the most coveted treasure in the world—no longer the "forgotten" one, but the greatest legend of all. This is the tale of revenge, rebirth, and the unbreakable bonds of loyalty. In the end, even the heavens will tremble at the rise of Ji Wushuang, the immortal sword master who defied fate itself.

Her determination and playful spirit make her a lovable mix of chaos and charm. Together with Alpha, whose childlike curiosity and unexpected talent for household tasks often clash with his immense latent power, the duo embarks on magical misadventures. From outsmarting magical authorities to uncovering forbidden secrets, they navigate a world of danger and hilarity, proving that breaking the rules can sometimes lead to the best stories.
