Miasma Sword Fear And Hunger

Born of fire and hunger

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck. Author : this novel does have a system but it's not a leveling system, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you.

Heavens splitting sword

In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Orion Yamahiro, the son of a legendary Dragon Slayer and a renounced Oni princess, is born with powers that could change the fate of nations. Blessed—or cursed—with mastery over the six elemental forces of magic, Orion's journey begins in the quiet village of his childhood, where dreams of peace clash with the reality of his extraordinary destiny. Orion’s idyllic life is shattered when remnants of the Continental War resurface, bringing ancient enemies and unspoken truths to his doorstep. As the shadow of war looms, he is thrust into a web of political intrigue, ancient rivalries, and dark prophecies. Guided by the legacy of his parents and a moral compass that refuses to dim, Orion sets out to uncover the mysteries of his lineage and his connection to the world’s fragile balance of power. As he traverses the lands—from the serene forests of Lindle to the icy peaks of the Luminous Kingdom and the vast plains of the Imperium—Orion encounters allies and adversaries, including the enigmatic White Witch of Calamity, a woman tied to his family’s past, and a host of spirits and demons drawn to his burgeoning power. Along the way, he hones his abilities, discovers the cost of wielding such immense power, and faces the harrowing truth about his role in an age-old conflict that threatens to consume the world. Haunted by the weight of his ancestors' choices and the shadows of his own mistakes, Orion must forge his path through a landscape rife with betrayal and sacrifice. As kingdoms vie for control and ancient forces awaken, he becomes the key to either uniting the fractured world or plunging it into an era of despair. With the Demonic Eye’s curse granting him both unimaginable power and a dangerous price to pay, Orion learns that true strength lies not in dominance, but in compassion and understanding. But as his journey brings him closer to the heart of the conflict, he must confront a harrowing choice: to wield his power to save the world or to sacrifice everything to protect those he loves.
