The Duality Of A Man

Riou sees the world differently from most people. To him, the idea of humans as social beings is nothing more than an illusion; in reality, they are merely individuals using each other for their own gain. This cynical perspective makes him feel more comfortable being alone, avoiding social interactions altogether. However, one day, a girl approaches him, showing an unexpected interest in him. She invites him to join an art club filled with people of different personalities. This encounter leaves Riou wondering—will this invitation change the life he has always lived in solitude?

Synopsis of The Elemental Duality: Aelar, a warrior born from the clash of two opposing forces, is a living embodiment of elemental chaos. His body crackles with the destructive power of lightning on one side, while the other side radiates the calm, fiery essence of gold. With a blade forged from this duality—half katana, half short sword—he is both an instrument of destruction and a protector of balance. But the balance within him is fragile, torn between the primal forces that rage within and the cold, calculating logic that governs his every move. The world of Rythia is on the brink of collapse as the Elemental Lords—Ignis, Voltaris, Oceania, Gaia, and Aeris—clash for dominance, each seeking to harness the raw power of the elements for their own vision of the future. As elemental storms ravage the land, cities fall, and ancient beings rise from their slumber, Aelar is thrust into a battle far beyond his control. Each Elemental Lord seeks to claim him, seeing his unique power as the key to reshaping the world in their image. Torn between loyalty to his friends, the wisdom of his mentors, and the allure of absolute power, Aelar must confront his inner demons while deciding where his true allegiance lies. With the world breaking apart and war on the horizon, Aelar’s struggle for balance becomes the fulcrum upon which Rythia's fate hangs. The question is not whether he will succeed—but whether he can maintain his humanity in the face of the overwhelming power that seeks to consume him. Will Aelar find peace in the storm, or will his elemental duality tear him apart? The fate of the world depends on the answer.

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

“There will be times when the struggle feels unbearable, almost impossible. I know that all too well. Alone, uncertain, swallowed by the sheer weight of the enemy. But if history remembers us at all, let it be for this: we did not bend. Not to dragons. Not to gods. Not to the cold arithmetic of a universe that demands we kneel. We fought. And when the Tutorial took everything—our homes, our certainty, our fragile illusions of control—we rebuilt ourselves from the ashes. Not as heroes. Not as legends. As humans.” —Siegfried Marlow, Journal Entry #7
