Lucy By The Sea A

My first memories are of the sea. It was all I've ever known. A young man dies on earth in a storm while sailing and gets reincarnated into a fantasy world with magic, pirates, and monsters called Tian. Luckily, he gets a powerful magical system to help him along in his adventures. Little does he know, the moment he woke up in this world, he already made some enemies. One of which being the most powerful empress in the known world. Will he be able to overcome his adversities, or will he succumb to the might of his enemies? Enemies he doesn't even know he has. Will he be able to conquer the seas and become the Sea King or will he die in the depths of the Unforgiving Sea like he did on Earth. Find out more by adding it to your library. (A/N: The first few chapters might seem a little short, but I am kind of in a rush to get to the meat and potatoes of the story. Also, there is a lot of world building, some would argue too much, but I imagined a world that I would want to live in and wish to share it with you all. Thank you for reading and I hope you like it. Hope you enjoy. On a sidenote, English is my first language, but I went to public school so please bear with me. LOL.

Sebastian is called by many different names: lunatic, madman, crazy, and a monster.  
Pretending to be human is an effortless task; calculating and flirtatious is a mask he carries for centuries, playing with the lives of those around him as if they’re just a game. 
His closed heart never lets anyone in, keeping a distance from anyone except for his annoying family, who live and protect each other. Despite having a dysfunctional, crazy family yet being regarded with suspicion and dread, his heart longs for more.  
On that fateful night, he never thought it was possible for him to have another emotional connection.  
A young, feral boy carrying a hunter-knife is surrounded by blood, snow, and dead wolves in the forest. Why does his youthful body carry a grotesque canvas of scars like they tell a gruesome past? Why do his eyes carry a heavy burden that's too young for a human? Or is he a human in the first place? 
As he gets to know the bratty Atlas, who angers him and challenges him, test him to the limits. If it was anyone else, he would not hesitate sending them to their grave.  Soon, he would learn that Atlas carries a heavy, dark secret, where Sebastian had to look for an answer in Atlas's past and must decide if he's worth protecting.  ***

“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.
