He heals others by taking their pain. But who will heal him? In a world where magic is power and suffering is weakness, Ash Elric is cursed with both. His gift? Healing — but only by absorbing others’ injuries into his own body. His reward? A life of scars, silence, and solitude. He should’ve died at seven. Instead, he became a myth. --- At the Arcane Dominion — the academy where nobles are trained to become gods — Ash arrives with no name, no crest, and daggers hidden beneath his coat. Beside him stands Kirito Valen — a quiet tempest who wields wind and silence like weapons. Only two know the truth: Ash doesn’t fight to win. He fights to protect. Even if it kills him. And Kirito? He’s already preparing to die in his place. --- Then comes Seraphina Vaelore — a noble flame wrapped in steel. Cold. Controlled. Until Ash bleeds in front of her. And for the first time, she sees power not in fire... …but in sacrifice. --- But this academy hides gods beneath its floors. A forgotten prophecy rises: “The one who carries all wounds will unmake the divine.” And the world? It’s already choosing sides. --- He is not the chosen one. He is the forsaken one. And still, he rises.

Synopsis **Lina Marchesi doesn’t remember the night her fiancé died. She only knows he drowned near their private beach house on the Amalfi Coast—and that she was found barefoot, bloodied, and unresponsive in a boat nearby. There were no signs of foul play, and Lina, an American expat novelist, hasn't been able to write since. A year later, under the weight of trauma, gaps in her memory, and public suspicion, she returns to the same village—not to heal, but to hide. But the quiet isn’t quiet for long. Whispers trail her in the market, her old neighbors keep their distance, and someone keeps leaving pages from her *unfinished manuscript* on her doorstep—pages she doesn't remember writing. Enter **Milo Caruso**, a former war photographer turned reclusive innkeeper with his own ghosts. He’s disfigured from an explosion, hiding out in the crumbling hills above the sea. Their paths cross when Lina takes up residence at his isolated property, and tension builds—first in silence, then in sharp, probing conversations over wine and cigarettes. Their connection is messy, magnetic, and deeply flawed. Milo is blunt and emotionally unavailable; Lina is unraveling but seductive, using charm as armor. They orbit each other—drawn, repelled, resisting. But both know what it’s like to live with something unspeakable. As Lina pieces together her fractured memory, it becomes clear that her fiancé’s death wasn’t as accidental as the police claimed. And someone in the village wants the truth buried. And as she and Milo fall into a love that’s as brutal as it is tender, Lina begins to ask herself the scariest question of all: **What if she killed him?**

For millennia, the supreme deity Chi ruled the pantheon of ancient Nigerian gods with balance and wisdom. But when Chi suddenly stepped down without appointing a successor, chaos erupted among the four most powerful gods—Ogun of Iron and Lightning, Sango the Storm Bringer, Baba Aye the Master of Earth and Spirits, and the River Goddess Osara. What followed was a devastating war that threatened to tear the world apart. In the midst of this chaos stood Ekwensu—the trickster god, misunderstood and feared. Seeing the looming destruction of the world, Ekwensu made the ultimate sacrifice: using cunning and power, he sealed away the warring gods, ending their reigns—but at a cost. Branded a villain and destroyer, Ekwensu was hunted by mortals and gods alike. In a final act of redemption, he shattered his own essence into soul weapons scattered across the universe and took his own life, ensuring reincarnation every 200 years. Now, in a futuristic but deeply traditional Nigeria, war looms again. Strange natural disasters and divine signs signal the return of old powers. The gods are awakening—but corrupted and unstable. A secret coalition from the four god-kingdoms sends their most powerful teenage warriors on a mission: find the reincarnated Ekwensu, reunite him with his soul weapons, and restore balance… or risk annihilation. But they’re not the only ones hunting him.

Everything was going well for him: a well-earning job, a car, a home, but then he was tossed into a world of immortals, in the body of Jade Beauty of all things! ------- Hello, there. I'd written this novel a while back and only recently picked it up again, and decided to post it. I write mostly for fun, so uh... I can guarantee no update consistency. I will try to post 3 to 4 chapters a week, but again, I can't guarantee anything. PS: This is a Gender Bender work. If you dislike that, this is not for you; just don't give it a bad rating/review for that. However, Gender Bender does not have much relevance to the story. This was an idea I had a long time ago when I'd read the first Transmigrated-into-Villain/Young Master story. That's when I wondered what if it was written from the perspective of the Jade Beauty instead? So, I came up with the idea of some guy transmigration into the body of one. But at the time, I despised the 'conflict' that came with the category, so I kinda skipped the entire thing. So don't expect gender identity issues from this story - even if there are, it will be resolved in a few chapters at most. This is primarily a Progression Fantasy/Power Fantasy from a Jade Beauty's perspective. Though, you can also think of it as an amateur author's way of escaping his responsibilities and not studying the female psyche deeply. Like I said - I write for fun. PPS: I don't have much writing experience and I do want to improve, so your critiques are welcome. Just don't be too harsh - my glass heart might just break. PPPS: MC will be extremely strong in her Cultivation Stage - and the strongest later on, but that doesn't mean much in the Cultivation World, where there is always a 'Heaven beyond the Heavens'. PPPPS: This is still a WIP. I have the general plot idea in mind, but nothing concrete. Plus, I haven't made the mechanics of this world as concrete as I would like. So, I might make minor changes here and there. If I do make such changes, I'll do it retroactively across all relevant chapters. So, early readers might get a little confused, and I apologise for that. Of course, I'll post a note when I do make changes. PPPPPS: This story will take a while to pick up. So don't expect MC to have tremendous odds stacked against her from the very beginning. In fact, this will be more slice-of-life at the beginning.
