Define Despite

In a world where magical prowess defines everything, Reyon Phoenix is the youngest heir to the Phoenix House, the strongest magical family in the world. Despite being born into a prestigious family, Reyon has always struggled with his limited magical reserves. Unlike his genius ancestors, most notably his grandfather, Leywin Phoenix, a legend who used his superior control of magic to create the groundbreaking concept of Vector Magic, Reyon has never been able to unlock his true potential. At 25, after years of pushing his limits, Reyon has only managed to reach the 5th Circle of magic, the same level as his late grandfather. However, he knows he’s no closer to achieving the feats Leywin once accomplished, as Leywin’s techniques could manipulate mana in ways no one else could, transcending even the mythical 9th Circle. When a terrifying dragon emerges from the depths of history and threatens to destroy the world, Reyon is powerless against it—his strength is not enough to match the beast's devastating might. On the brink of death, Reyon’s world suddenly changes. A mysterious light transports him back in time, to when he was just 17 years old—before the world was destroyed and before the tragic events that led to the demise of his family. Now, armed with the knowledge of his future and the fragments of his grandfather’s lost notes, Reyon has a second chance to master Vector Magic and rewrite his fate. But with a past full of enemies and allies whose destinies intertwine with his own, Reyon must navigate the complex world of academia, family expectations, and dangerous rivalries.

“In a house divided by status, secrets, and the whisper of wings, freedom feels as distant as the stars.” When Laura Charles takes a position at the prestigious Wyndham Estate, she plans to keep her head down, her past hidden, and her heart untangled. Among the polished silver and immaculate halls, she’s determined to play her part as the perfect lady's maid: quiet, diligent, and invisible. But nothing at Wyndham is as simple as it seems. From Amber, the exuberant housemaid, to Mrs. Hobbs, the sharp and rigid housekeeper, the servants' hall brims with personalities as complex as the estate itself. Among them is Aleksi, a towering, sharp-tongued footman whose presence stirs something Laura can't quite define. As their paths cross in unexpected ways, sparks fly—not of romance but of class tension and sharp disdain. Yet beneath the barbs and silences lies an unsettling intensity that neither can fully ignore. Meanwhile, the estate hides more than just its opulent splendor. Foreign servants whisper in a language Laura doesn’t understand, and the weight of expectations crushes everyone under the roof, noble or not. In a world where every glance and gesture is a battle for survival, trust becomes a dangerous luxury, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. As the seasons shift and the stakes rise, Laura finds herself trapped between two wings: the strict confines of duty and the yearning for something more—freedom, perhaps, or even love. But how far will she go to protect herself when her heart and her carefully constructed walls are both at risk of crumbling? Between Wings is a tale of class, romance, and survival, where every choice is fraught with danger and even the smallest kindness can have far-reaching consequences. For fans of slow-burn romance, rich historical drama, and characters navigating a world determined to define them, this is a story of transformation and defiance against all odds.

In a world where every individual is born with a unique power—a manifestation of their soul known as Aura—strength and status are defined by the type and tier of one’s ability. Aura users are categorized into three types: Natural Types, who control the elements; Transformation Types, who can alter their physical form; and Emitter Types, whose unpredictable abilities defy categorization. These powers are further divided into tiers, ranging from the weak Low Tiers to the godlike National Tiers, with legends like Mariana, the Sword Saint, standing at the pinnacle of power. Yet, above even them lies the myth of Timmy, a man so powerful and feared that his name was erased from history, his legacy a haunting reminder of the chaos Aura can unleash. But in this world of extraordinary abilities, Daniel is an anomaly. Born without an Aura, he is powerless in a society that values strength above all else. Despite his lack of abilities, Daniel dreams of becoming a hero, a dream that has led to countless failures and humiliations. Now 17, he enrolls at Gateway High School, a crumbling institution for Low and Mid Tiers, where he hopes to find a path to his dream. However, Gateway is far from welcoming.

In a place where strength is everything, will his determination and resilience be enough to carve out a place for himself, or will the weight of his powerlessness crush him before he can even begin?
