Grim Grim

Ash and Silence

In a world ravaged by the endless battles of the five Factions, the Burn Field stands as a grim testament to the futility of hope. This vast, ash-choked wasteland is home to the ashborn, a forgotten caste bound to the thankless labor of tending to the dead and erasing the past. For Xieren, existence in the Burn Field is a relentless cycle of survival, his only comfort found in the gruff companionship of his mentor, Fen, and the forbidden dreams he shares with Elia. Elia is a defiant spark in a world of endless gray, a beacon of stubborn hope in the face of crushing despair. Where Xieren sees only the unyielding reality of their imprisonment, Elia dares to imagine a life beyond the ash. But when Elia reveals a dangerous secret, her ability to wield the rare and enigmatic power known as Oryn - their fragile dream of escape suddenly becomes a tangible possibility. As Xieren and Elia embark on a perilous journey to master her newfound abilities, they find themselves caught between the grim warnings of Fen, who knows all too well the price of hope in a place like the Burn Field, and the searing intensity of their own desires. With each secret training session, each whispered promise, they inch closer to a chance at freedom... but also to the ever-watchful eyes of those who would see Elia's gift as a threat to be eliminated. In a world where the strong prey upon the weak and the dead are the only sure thing, Xieren must make a choice that will echo across the ages. Will he embrace the audacious hope that Elia represents, risking everything for a chance at a new life? Or will he heed Fen's dire warnings and resign himself to a slow death in the dust and ashes of the only world he's ever known?

Reborn as the Last van Ambrose

Elias "Grim" Kingsley, a nine-year-old orphan with a hardened heart and sharp tongue, dies alone from pneumonia in an overcrowded orphanage. Known for his perpetual scowl and biting remarks, he's labeled a "problem child" by caretakers and "damaged goods" by potential adopters. Years of rejection have built thick armor around his young heart. In death, he encounters the God of Balance who offers him a second chance at life in a different world—this time as Grim Van Ambrose, son of a noble house. Balance explains that every soul deserves to know love and connection, something Elias was cruelly denied in his first life. Promised the family and belonging he never experienced, Grim begins his new life only to suffer an immediate tragedy: his mother dies moments after his birth. This cruel twist of fate reinforces his belief that loss is inevitable, leaving him with a distant father and the mysterious voice of a "Guidance Assistant" in his head. As Grim grows into his new identity, he struggles with his dual nature—the emotional scars of his past life bleeding into his present one. His difficult personality and sharp tongue remain, now paired with noble privilege and expectations. Despite his outward brashness, he carries the deep wounds of his first life and the fresh loss that welcomed him into his second. What begins as one orphan's second chance evolves into an epic journey through a world of ancient beasts, elemental magic, and deadly political intrigue. As Grim uncovers the truth about the Ambrose Clan's fall from grace and the conspiracy that framed them for treason, he faces increasingly dangerous adversaries—both human and monstrous. His quest for revenge against those who destroyed his family's legacy will challenge him to master forbidden techniques, forge unexpected alliances, and ultimately decide whether to rebuild the Ambrose Clan as it was, or transform it into something entirely new. In a realm where power determines survival and ancient secrets lurk beneath noble facades, Grim must learn that sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought with swords, but with the choices that define who we truly are.
