The Strongest Curse Master

Born into a lower middle class family, Ace Lander grew up being told there was a simple formula for success: get an education, graduate, and work hard to build a prosperous future. But that formula failed him during the final stretch of his senior year when a local gang targeted him, putting everything he had and was building towards at risk. Trapped and desperate, Ace felt his life spiraling out of control—until Ria Hart, a fellow classmate, discovering Ace's innate aptitude to become a Curse Master, a being capable of wielding curse energy and abilities but haunted by Curselings, took pity and introduced him to the secret world hidden beneath the mundane surface of their world, the World of Curses. Awakening as a Curse Master, Ace discovers he possesses an extraordinary innate curse tool: the Cursed Toybox. This tool comes with a unique class, Toymancer, granting Ace powers unlike any curse master the world has seen before. The Cursed Toybox allows him to animate and actualize toys, transforming them into powerful, living beings bound to his will. From overpowered heroes to legendary gods, any toy that falls into Ace's Cursed Toybox springs to life with powers beyond one's imagination but bound to him in eternal servitude. Armed with his Toy Summons, Ace must navigate the perilous world of curses, protect his loved ones, and reclaim control of his destiny before the gang—and the darkness of the hidden world—consume him entirely.

After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget. Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like.

Such terms include Aviation maneuvers, Races, Appearances of characters etc. What to expect in this Novel : First and foremost, this novel will be lengthy; it is not a 50-100 chapter story; it is a voyage into the unknown! So maybe 300 or more? Second, this one is considered as Yuri, GL Third, I'll be using real-life aviation movements during dogfights (please correct me if I'm inaccurate). Fourth, there would be sensitive materials such as brutal scenes, gore, and sex scenes (I mean it). Finally, there would be YouTube links at the beginning of each chapter that would recommend music that I handpicked so you could feel the atmosphere of the chapter. *I do not own any of the music, if you are the creator and you want me to remove them, feel free to comment, and I shall do so [This original novel is highly inspired by various materials such as star wars, mass effect, stellaris, and my own love for space]

Skyfall Saga

In the breathtaking world of Aethralis, where the skies are as vast as the oceans and ancient artifacts known as Sky Relics bestow unimaginable powers, adventure calls to those bold enough to chase it.

Among these legends is the Crest of Aeons, a fabled Sky Relic capable of bending time itself.

Determined to chart the uncharted, Kael assembles a motley crew of Skyfaring Explorers: Lyra, a sharp-witted navigator haunted by a dark past with the Strata; Rago, a loyal warrior seeking justice for his lost family; Fynn, a quirky engineer whose inventions push the boundaries of imagination; and Eira, a serene healer with a profound connection to the Relics. Together, they defy the odds, challenging the Eternal Strata and navigating through uncharted skies, perilous seas, and mystical floating islands. As Kael and his crew delve deeper into the secrets of the Sky Relics, they uncover ancient ruins, confront dangerous enemies, and forge bonds that transform them into a family.

Whispers of Elandrial:Echoes of the triad’s purchase

Deep in the heart of Elandrial, away from the bustling cities and grand kingdoms, within the intricate maze of the Underrealm, Kael lived in shadows. A Cavedweller by birth, his heritage was one of mystery, often whispered about in legends but seldom encountered. Kael wasn't ordinary, even by Cavedweller standards. His veins pulsed with the ancient art of sword magic, a legacy passed down through secretive lineages. When he danced with his blade, it shimmered with arcane energies, cutting not just through flesh but through the very fabric of magic itself. This talent, however potent, was a double-edged sword. It made him a beacon for those hungry for power, so he hid it, fearing its allure. His days consisted of exploring the depths, unearthing relics of a bygone era, and practicing his swordplay in concealed caverns. Solitude was his chosen companion until fate intervened. One evening, while navigating a previously unexplored tunnel, Kael stumbled upon a scene that would shatter his isolated existence. There, in a hidden cavern illuminated by bioluminescent fungi, representatives of the Obsidian Empire were engaged in a covert exchange with enigmatic figures - the Voidwalkers from the abyss. The traded object was a pulsating dark crystal, the "Abyssal Heart", radiating an eerie energy that even Kael, from his concealed vantage point, could feel. Intrigued yet cautious, Kael decided to intervene. Drawing upon his sword magic, he attempted to disrupt the exchange. But the Voidwalkers, beings of ancient magic, sensed his presence. A battle ensued, where shadows clashed with the gleam of the blade. But the numbers were against Kael, and he was forced to retreat, but not before witnessing the Obsidian Empire successfully obtaining the Abyssal Heart. Understanding the gravity of what had transpired, Kael knew he couldn't remain a silent observer. The Abyssal Heart's power in the hands of the Obsidian Empire would bring forth a darkness that Elandrial had never seen. His first attempt to warn the higher realms led him to the Stone Trolls of Thunder Reach. Historically reclusive, they were known for their mastery over earth magics. But as Kael approached their majestic mountain citadel, he witnessed its annihilation. The Obsidian Empire, powered by the abyss, had struck their first blow, leaving Thunder Reach in ruins. Devastated yet determined, Kael pushed forward. He sought the Moon Dancers of Lorianel, hoping their affinity for lunar magic could counteract the Abyssal Heart's malevolence. It was here he met Luna, a skilled Moon Dancer. Sensing the truth in Kael's words, Luna pledged her support. Together, they journeyed to Seraphina, seeking the Sun Whisperers' aid. This is where Solan, a Sun Whisperer with a fiery spirit, joined their ranks. The trio, each representing a unique aspect of Elandrial's magic, became the realm's unlikely defenders. As they ventured across the vast landscapes, from the shimmering shores of Maelstrome’s Rift to the floating islands of Celestial Shadows, they rallied allies. The Maelstrome Dominion, seeing the threat posed by the abyss, provided naval support. The ethereal beings of the Celestial Shadows lent their knowledge of ancient prophecies, hinting at the Abyssal Heart's origin and possible countermeasures. Their journey took them through the Glimmering Groves and the Skaldorian Foothills, battling Obsidian scouts and abyssal creatures. In these skirmishes, Aria, a rogue Mage from the Virelia Republic with unparalleled knowledge of arcane arts, saved them. Recognizing a shared purpose, she joined their quest. But time was against them. The Obsidian Empire's shadow spread, consuming realms and bending them to their dark will. The abyss, sensing Elandrial's weakening defenses, grew bolder, with its creatures becoming more frequent and aggressive.

Army Definition

An army (from Latin arma "arms, weapons" via Old French armée, "armed" [feminine]), ground force or land force is a fighting force that fights primarily on land. In the broadest sense, it is the land-based military branch, service branch or armed service of a nation or state. It may also include aviation assets by possessing an army aviation component. Within a national military force, the word army may also mean a field army.  Afghan Army soldiers on parade, 1950s In some countries, such as France and China, the term "army", especially in its plural form "armies", has the broader meaning of armed forces as a whole, while retaining the colloquial sense of land forces. To differentiate the colloquial army from the formal concept of military force, the term is qualified, for example in France the land force is called Armée de terre, meaning Land Army, and the air and space force is called Armée de l'Air et de l’Espace, meaning Air and Space Army. The naval force, although not using the term "army", is also included in the broad sense of the term "armies" — thus the French Navy is an integral component of the collective French Armies (French Armed Forces) under the Ministry of the Armies. A similar pattern is seen in China, with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) being the overall military, the land force being the PLA Ground Force, and so forth for the PLA Air Force, the PLA Navy, and other branches.  The Sikh Regiment marching contingent of the Indian Army on parade, 2015 By convention, irregular military is understood in contrast to regular armies which grew slowly from personal bodyguards or elite militia. Regular in this case refers to standardized doctrines, uniforms, organizations, etc. Regular military can also refer to full-time status (standing army), versus reserve or part-time personnel. Other distinctions may separate statutory forces (established under laws such as the National Defence Act), from de facto "non-statutory" forces such as some guerrilla and revolutionary armies. Armies may also be expeditionary (designed for overseas or international deployment) or fencible (designed for – or restricted to – homeland defence).
