Astral Chain Dark Hero

In this world, each species keeps to their own. However- In this cliche story, An Angel and a demon have a vision for change. How will they shape the future? And how will the next generation continue the change?

If I asked you, what does it mean to be a hero, how would you respond? Is it fighting to avenge people you've lost? Rescuing others when no one else can lend a hand? Sacrificing your body for people who don't even know your name? Is a hero anyone who is strong, flashy, prestigious, or loves beating up bad guys? The country is in utter chaos as heroes and villains fight for survival. Everyone in between has lost someone. And everyone has their own ideals for what it means to be a hero. The story continues with Rhett, a nobody with no powers except one that lets him experience death over and over again. Can he save the ones he loves? Can he be the hero he wanted to be?

Was kann man an meinem neuen Leben nicht lieben, nachdem ich in eine haustierzentrierte Welt übergewechselt bin? Es gibt mächtige Kreaturen, die in allen Formen und Größen vorkommen. Sie können entweder kuschelige Begleiter, Helfer im Alltag, wagemutige Späher oder starke Kämpfer sein. Oder alles davon. Nicht schlecht, oder? Ich habe eine Familie, aber diese Tatsache wird von meiner jüngeren Schwester völlig überschattet. Sie hasst mich abgrundtief, und sie sorgt dafür, dass ich das weiß. Jedes. Einzelnen. Tag. Habe ich schon erwähnt, dass sie ekelhaft talentiert ist, während ich ein Versager bin? Und ein furchtbar gutaussehender noch dazu. Ich habe freie Hand, um das Familienunternehmen allein zu führen. Eine kleine und beschauliche Tierhandlung. Es hätte großartig werden können, wenn nicht der vorherige Besitzer dieses Körpers mit NULL Affinität zum Umgang mit astralen Haustieren geboren worden wäre... Es wäre keine richtige Seelenwanderung ohne ein Gimmick oder ein System, das mir den Weg zur Größe ebnet, meinst du nicht? Ich habe eins, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich ohne es besser dran wäre... Willkommen in der Welt der astralen Haustiere!

"You hate me," Lily mouthed through trembling lips. Zayn leaned closer, his voice low and bitter. “No. Hate is too cheap. I want you to feel what I did. Every scream. Every loss.” She didn’t flinch. She was tired of pleading. She just looked at him with eyes full of quiet pain. So why did it feel like his heart was shattering?

The night her pack fell, Lily was dragged from a shack and thrown at the feet of her new Alpha, Zayn Knightmoon. He was the man her family enslaved. Now he is the alpha who rules over her and he wants revenge. Zayn lost everything. His father. His mate. His pack. All at the hands of Lily’s family. When he realized Lily is his second chance mate, he rejected her without hesitation and swore to make her suffer. But the more he punished her, the more he saw the truth: Lily was nothing like the monsters who raised her. She’s a victim too and broken… like him. Zayn found himself torn between vengeance and a bond he never asked for. Will Lily’s suffering be enough to quiet the ghosts of his past or will revenge destroy them both?

He was named but never needed as a second son. A crown next to a shadow. Silently, a thread left hanging. He then touched a feeling that wasn't his own. And something that was supposed to be forgotten was remembered by the world. For a hope she had lost, a girl cried. A brother's suppressed grief surfaced. Threads were pulled. Lives were rewound. The echoes are stirring now. And tales that have been encased in myth start to seep out. Auren is not a magician. He disentangles fate. A single emotion at a time.

( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

Solhe, 16 ans, se réveille dans un monde ravagé, désertique, où le ciel est percé par un œil brûlant et où la lave suinte comme une punition divine. Il ne se souvient de rien — ni de son passé, ni de son identité. Juste un nom : Solhe, et un collier étrange autour du cou, orné d’un œil et de petites mains déformées. Ce monde n’est pas le sien. Ici, les villes sécurisées sont rares, les monstres rôdent, et les humains sont soit des survivants, soit des bouchers. Une force mystérieuse règne : le NIR, un système de pouvoir basé sur l’émotion pure et les objets symboliques. Mais chaque pouvoir a un prix… parfois, c’est toi qu’il dévore. Poursuivi par une créature abominable, Solhe échappe de peu à la mort grâce à l’intervention de Jack, un type bizarre armé d’une faux qui se dit “exterminateur”. Jack lui offre un choix : crever seul dans les ruines… ou rejoindre la Société d’Extermination, un groupe qui chasse les horreurs du monde et forme les détenteurs du NIR. Aux côtés de Jack, Lisa, Lloyd et d’autres paumés dangereux, Solhe va apprendre à survivre, à manier son pouvoir… et à se souvenir. Mais plus il avance, plus il comprend : ce monde est plus qu’un enfer — c’est un cercle de condamnés, gouverné par des factions monstrueuses et des lois sacrées corrompues. Et les ennemis qu’il affrontera… ne sont pas tous humains. Ils sont l’incarnation des péchés interdits. Et Solhe, malgré lui, en est peut-être la clef.
