By the coast, a hundred-meter Star Gate shimmered with flowing light. Beyond the Star Gate, an army forged of steel stretched as far as the eye could see. Above the Sky Dome, squadrons of fighter jets streaked across, weaving an iron curtain. In the distant ocean, scores of aircraft carriers, destroyers, and frigates dotted the seascape, ready for action. All cannons were aimed at the figure who emerged from the Star Gate. "In the name of the Federation Command Center, I order you to stand down, or what awaits you is total war," said the voice. "War?" Gu Jinlai took a step forward, and his form swelled against the wind, in an instant growing from less than two meters tall to a colossal Chaos Demon God thousands of kilometers high, emitting the brilliance of a white dwarf star from his being, his own gravity causing thunder and lightning, as well as tsunamis and tides within a thousand-mile radius. He looked down... At the war weapons that seemed like toys. He reached out, and a hydrogen bomb fell into his hand. Within him, the electron-degenerate star core released Helium, Helium elements expanded, and the terrifying high temperature instantly caused Deuterium and Tritium, Hydrogen's isotopes, to fuse, the energy bursting forth, forming a blazing white brilliance on the ocean's surface that was like igniting a sun.

'Hmmmm...so I just have to witness the skill being used to copy it...then I can evolve this skill ten times it's initial power?' Nox was skeptical as he looked at the screen flickering on his retina. I mean, how was something so insane even possible? Copying a skill itself was very bad-assed, and you mean to say he could evolved the copied Skill ten times it's initial power, exponentially surpassing the original owner? Why would the gods let such broken talent even exist? 'Well it's just one way to find out...' Luckily just then, he saw two powerfull beings fighting mid air. Their fight sent shockwaves billowing in all directions, causing Nox to take a couple of Steps back. At that moment, he activated his talent...

**"Leave me alone! Please, just let me go!"** My voice cracked as I thrashed in his iron grip, but it was useless. He scooped me up effortlessly, his hold unyielding, carrying me off to a fate I couldn’t escape. This can’t be happening. Not now. Not like this. "I don’t want this," I whispered, my voice raw with terror. "Please… just let me go." My pleas barely reached his ears, or if they did, he didn’t care. His silence was louder than any threat, his indifference a dagger to my chest. A heartbeat later, my body hit the softness of a king-sized bed, but there was no comfort in it. My tears had nearly dried, leaving only silent sobs wracking my frame. I forced myself to speak, desperation lacing every syllable. "Luciano, please," I choked out. "If I’ve wronged you in any way, I’m sorry. But don’t punish me like this." A deafening crack split the air, and before I could react, fire exploded across my cheek. The force of the slap sent my head whipping to the side, my skin stinging from the brutal contact. The room pulsed with danger. **"No one calls me by my name,"** he growled, his voice like crushed glass—sharp, merciless. **"And no one tells me what to do."** His fingers curled under my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cold, dark, and bottomless, his eyes held no mercy, no hesitation. "You will warm my bed," he murmured, his voice dangerously soft, laced with cruel intent. "You will satisfy my every craving, no matter how disastrous, no matter how dark." A wicked smirk ghosted over his lips, his grip tightening. "Because you are mine to break. And no one stops me." He leaned in, his breath fanning against my trembling lips. "Now… come here." --- Story by white pheonix

Eira Solren, a quiet village healer, harbors a dangerous secret: she can wield fire. When an accidental display of her abilities during the annual Burning Festival exposes her, Eira was arrested by the queen’s soldiers and brought to the capital. Queen Lenoria Vale, a cunning and ruthless ruler, sees Eira not as a threat but as a tool to further her dark ambitions. The queen seeks to awaken a dormant fire elemental, an ancient force of destruction, intends to use Eira’s rare connection to fire to control it. But before she can be manipulated, Eira is rescued by Kael Rhyder, a rogue mercenary with his own shadowy ties to the queen. Kael delivers Eira to a rebel faction led by the charismatic yet enigmatic Aedric Stormfell. The rebels are fighting to overthrow Queen Lenoria, but their cause is complicated by personal ambitions and internal betrayal. Aedric sees Eira as a weapon to turn the tide of the war, while Kael is determined to protect her from being used again. Meanwhile, Eira begins hearing cryptic whispers from the mysterious force within her—the Whispering Flame. It offers guidance and power but demands sacrifices she doesn’t yet understand. As Eira struggles to master her abilities, she becomes torn between her growing bond with Kael and her uneasy alliance with Aedric. Kael’s stoic exterior hides a painful past as a former royal guard who betrayed the queen, while Aedric’s charm masks a ruthless determination to use Eira to further his rebellion. Trust is fragile, and Eira finds herself caught in a dangerous web of lies and half-truths. When Eira learns of the queen’s plan to awaken the fire elemental, the stakes are raised. If unleashed, the elemental could destroy not only Solaria but the surrounding kingdoms as well. The rebels prepare for an all-out assault on the capital, but divisions within their ranks threaten their mission. Aedric’s betrayal is revealed when he attempts to use Eira’s power for his own purposes, forcing her to rely solely on Kael. As the queen’s forces close in, Eira begins to embrace the Whispering Flame fully, unlocking powers far beyond her imagination.

In the process, Kael sacrifices himself to protect her, revealing his love for her in his final moments. Broken but resolute, Eira defeats the queen and binds the elemental to her will, bringing peace to the kingdom. However, the victory comes at a cost—her connection to the Whispering Flame leaves her changed, and she fears the power that now lives within her. But in a twist of fate, Kael is miraculously revived, his life tied to hers through the bond of the Flame. Together, Eira and Kael vow to rebuild a broken kingdom, ensuring the destructive power of fire was never used for evil again. As they look to the future, the Whispering Flame’s soft murmurs remind Eira that the battle for control is never truly over. Whispers of Fire is a tale of love, betrayal, and redemption in a world where power burns brighter than truth, and destiny whispers in the flames. Eira’s journey from an outcast to a hero challenges her to rise above fear, trust in herself, and find hope amidst the ashes.
