Lunia Arden

Dicen que el tiempo lo cura todo, pero es mentira. Hay heridas que el tiempo no toca, cicatrices que arden incluso después de décadas. Yo lo sé mejor que nadie, porque llevo una de esas heridas en el alma, tan profunda que ningún día, por más largo o brillante, lográ anestesiarla. Esta no es la historia de un hombre bueno, ni de un héroe que venció a sus demonios. Tampoco es el relato de un monstruo, aunque eso es lo que dirán los titulares cuando mi nombre finalmente se apague. Es simplemente la historia de alguien que amó demasiado y perdió todo. La historia de un hermano que hizo lo único que supo hacer: destruir aquello que destruyó lo único puro y verdadero que tenía. No busco redención. Tampoco simpatía. Lo que quiero es que estas palabras, estas memorias escritas en el rincón más oscuro de esta celda, sean testigos de lo que la justicia ignoró y de lo que el amor me obligó a hacer

The Wounded Healer In a world where heartbreak leaves physical scars on the soul, Arden, a gifted healer, has sworn off love after a betrayal shattered her heart beyond repair. She devotes herself to mending the wounds of others, even as her own pain festers—a constant reminder of what she’s lost. But when a cursed wanderer named Kael seeks her help, Arden finds herself drawn into a dangerous journey. Bound by a prophecy that links their fates, Kael’s touch drains the life from all he loves. Together, they must navigate a world of ancient magic, treacherous enemies, and secrets that could either destroy or heal them both. As they confront their own heartbreaks and fears, Arden and Kael begin to realize that the only way to break their curses may be to risk their hearts once again. Will they have the strength to face the past, or will their scars keep them apart forever?

Offered a second chance by a seemingly friendly(?) god, Keel awakens in the past, armed with fragments of knowledge and the mysterious Builder Relic, a necklace of immense power tied to his destiny. With its ability to claim and shape domains, Keel has the tools to rewrite his fate. Keel Arden is his name, and this is the story. You might like it, give it a go!

On his 10th birthday, Ren is celebrated as a hero — the chosen one blessed with unmatched power to protect the world from the monsters spilling out of dungeons. Yet, as the nations join forces to train and guide him, they see him only as a weapon to wield, a pawn in a dangerous game of power. Taken from his home, Ren is trained under the iron hands of foreign nations, wielding his strength to shield lands he barely knows. When he finally fulfills his purpose and grows into the most powerful hero the world has ever known, he’s betrayed by the very nations he fought for, and, in their quest for dominance, they destroy the kingdom of Arden, his birthplace, and his heart. In the moments before he dies, struck down by a forbidden weapon, Ren vows revenge. But fate grants him something more powerful than vengeance — a second chance. Awakening in his childhood body mere days before his hero’s ceremony, Ren now has all the knowledge, skill, and power from his former life and a new purpose. This time, he will refuse their shackles, forge his own path, and raise Arden to greatness. As he trains in secret, Ren allies himself with his childhood friends, the two princesses of Arden, Elara and Selene, who are both loyal to him and now central to his heart and mission. Together, they plot to outwit the nations that once betrayed him, strengthening Arden’s defenses and building allies among those who stand in the shadows. With a growing network of spies, newfound strength, and a burning desire for justice, Ren sets his sights on reclaiming control of his destiny and protecting his kingdom from those who would see it fall. His mission is clear: take revenge, save his kingdom, and claim the throne — becoming not just a hero, but the hero king Arden needs.

Born as a prince, many people would think that Kieran Wynter had the perfect life, but it was actually the opposite. Tariona, a world where Magic reigned supreme, and could be used in the form of the eight Elements, Kieran was born without a mana core; a core used to store the Energy required to use Magic, and that meant that he couldn't use Magic.

While growing up, he was mentally and physically abused by his father, and even the children of other nobles. Though, all his pains would disappear anytime he was with Lyra, his mother, the Queen, the only person who cherished him, and never left his side. Well, all that changed when he was summoned by the King to the throne room. Apparently, the King was deprived of something because of Kieran's existence, and he had to get rid of him.

After realizing this, Kieran, who was now Arden, had only one goal in mind........ Revenge!! The nobles, the children of the nobles who mocked him and his mother, and the King......... He would exert his revenge on each and every one of them. But, that seemed impossible, because, the mana core that this body had was broken, and that meant that he couldn't use Magic. But all hope wasn't lost, because....... [The Revenge System has found you] [Assimilating.........] [The Revenge System has completely assimilated with the Host ] [Welcome, Host] With this mysterious Revenge System, he would be able to get the strength he needed, and exert his revenge.

Some read to go to another world with epic love stories and tragic heartbreaks. To experience things they would never experience in the real world Some do drugs to get a sense of euphoria. To feel numb from what they are really feeling. To block it all out. Some drink to forget everything that has happened, even if it’s just for a little. To drown the sorrows away. To bring peace. Some workout because it leaves them feeling energized and motivated. Like they can do anything and everything. Some listen to music. To have nothing but their thoughts to distract them. To feel the music on another level. To be free. Some self harm to feel in control when everything else is out of theirs. To have at least one thing is their life that is theirs. Some sleep the day away. To not wake up and do the same thing over and over again. To get away from their reality. Hopefully, to dream. Some throw themselves into work to distract themselves from their own problems. To busy their minds and forget. Some write so they can express themselves without actually having to say it outloud. To write away the pain. To get it all out. Some watcallh movies or tv shows to relate to the characters. To feel understood. To be desired and loved. We all do something different to escape, but we do it for the same reason. To cope.
