Betrayed,plotted against,and killed. Elodie Adedora’s corpse was left to glaciate in a cold abyss… but why does this protagonist wake up seven years later? … Far away, off the outskirts of the Solaria kingdom, where the sun and warmth were scarce. A dark cave, lit only by the dim reflection of silver chains, suspending a single person to an icy wall. The person's skin, dark and covered in winters frost. The hairs on her head and eyelashes were grey, covered by tiny icicles. Her lips, pale of all color, cracked, and like the rest of her, cold. But, slowly, her lips were the first to melt. Her eyes started to flutter open, revealing brown eyes flickering with white. A bright, illuminating, magical white. "Kill the queen. You must kill the queen. That is why you are alive." The iridescent shimmer of white began to spread across her body, intertwining itself with the natural ebony color of her skin that was stuck to her bones. The intense frail appearance of the girl filled out into a healthy complexion. The melting ice dripped like water down her skin, and the more that dripped, the more alive the unconscious body seemed to become.  Just as a first warm breath escaped the girl's mouth, a spiteful emotion bubbled up to the surface, flashing across the girl's eyes. Pain, suffering, and betrayal. Those were the three most prevalent in her expression. One of the three must've been a feeling strong enough to revive the dead. The chains on her arms were thick and bulky, frosted over with a glaze of ice and frost. In a second however, she ripped her arms away from the stone that in prisoned her, falling weakly to other side, where her other arm remained suspended to the ice wall. A screamed ripped out of the girl who had just awoken, the voice of regret. It echoed against the walls of the cave. Her restraints shattered in a horrifying unison, metal bits flying in different directions in the room. Falling to the ground, her shivering body hit the ice floor below her. The ice ground made direct contact with her knees and forearms. Under the intense contact, they scraped and peeled. Yet, the girl's hands and knees held strong as she stood up. Her dark, raven black hair fell in front of her face, a protruding but delicate nose bridge interrupted its flow.  "You will never be forgiven..." Were the first words to leave the girl's lips. The white flickers and crackles in her eyes and across her skin had calmed. The iridescent shimmer had also vanished, and yet,  Now was the moment the girl appeared the most intimidating, warm tears of anger had overtaken the melted ice on her skin, obstructing parts of her vision. She raised her head, and with it, a stem of green glow manifested from no where. In her palms, the white shimmer of light had now turned a threatening forest green. In this icy prison was where the infamous evil witch was held captive. It would also be the same place which this story begins.

In a universe where the fragile balance between freedom and control is unraveling, an ancient power reawakens—the crystal, a relic of unfathomable energy capable of reshaping existence itself. Four cosmic factions, each driven by their own vision for the future, race against time to seize the crystal before their rivals do, igniting a war that will decide the fate of reality itself. The Luminaries, champions of justice and cosmic harmony, seek to prevent the crystal from falling into the wrong hands. The Kivuli, masters of shadow and manipulation, crave absolute control to enforce what they see as universal order. The Cosmic Command Collective (CCC), a ruthless machine of galactic conquest, seeks the crystal to cement their rule over all existence. And the Wardens, a rebellious force of outlaws and idealists, fight to break the chains of oppression, even if it means unleashing chaos. As these factions collide across the cosmos—from shattered worlds to celestial battlegrounds—ancient rivalries resurface, alliances are tested, and betrayals rewrite destiny. But as they inch closer to the crystal, they begin to realize that the true danger isn’t just each other—it’s the raw, unchecked power they seek to control. When the final confrontation erupts at the heart of the universe, the battle will transcend mere war. It will become a test of ideology, morality, and the very nature of power itself. As the dust settles, only one truth will remain: those who seek to shape the cosmos must first face the consequences of wielding creation itself.

A Rebirth in Flame follows the journey of Eldric, a man who is reborn with the power to challenge the gods themselves. Once a pawn in their divine schemes, Eldric has suffered from betrayal and loss. But through a miraculous rebirth, he gains the strength and resolve to defy the very beings who once controlled his fate. Set in a world caught between the mortal realm and the divine, Eldric finds himself at the center of a rebellion—a desperate movement that seeks to overthrow the gods’ control over humanity. As he begins to rise as the leader of this rebellion, he must confront not only the brutal forces of the gods but also his own inner demons. The line between good and evil becomes blurred as he faces challenges that test his morals, his loyalty, and his very existence. The first major turning point comes when Eldric and his allies face off against the Arbiter, a godly champion sent to crush the rebellion. Through sheer will and determination, Eldric and his comrades manage to defeat the Arbiter, sending shockwaves throughout the divine hierarchy. However, this victory comes with a cost—the gods will not let their champions fall without retaliation. The battle is just beginning, and Eldric must rally his forces, face stronger opponents, and make difficult choices that could shape the future of both the mortal and divine realms. Throughout the story, Eldric’s struggle is not only against the gods but also against his own identity. Is he truly the hero of this tale, or is he simply another pawn in a greater game? Can he maintain his humanity while wielding such power? And, in the end, can he survive a war against immortals when everything is stacked against him? With thrilling battles, intense character development, and deep exploration of themes like destiny, free will, and sacrifice, A Rebirth in Flame is an epic tale of rebellion, redemption, and self-discovery.

I died. That's obvious. But I was reborn. How? Don't ask me. Maybe it was some god. A divine being? Ah- It doesn't matter. My life burned away and now- well I'm stuck here in this black void. This dungeon. Maybe I had lived a pious last life. Laughable as that was. But I was given a second chance. Told to grow my dungeon, to create hulking monstrosities that would destroy the world. In short, I am now a villain. I am the consciousness of the dungeon, the little orb at the end my body. And still I live. A projection of a body is created - a trap - and I am that. I am the one to guide foolish adventurers to their death. My looks are curated. Soft features that entrap the mind. I am the dungeon. I am the projection, I am human, and I am the dungeon. And I will conquer all. Every being will bow before my might. "Before you're cuteness~" Ah- heh- that too... help... I didn't ask to look this cute!

An outcast at Manchester Academy, he longed for acceptance but found only isolation. His mind was a fortress of equations and theories, yet it couldn't shield him from the whispers, the stares, or the taunts. But everything changed during an excursion to Egypt. Chased by bullies into the depths of an ancient tomb, Ade stumbled upon a hidden chamber—one untouched by time. At its center lay a glowing emerald, humming with power beyond comprehension. The moment he touched it, his reality shattered. His body ignited with speed beyond human limits, his senses expanded, and for the first time, he felt truly alive. Yet power comes with a price. As Ade struggles to control his newfound abilities, he finds himself entangled in a web of mysteries spanning history, mythology, and science fiction. From secret societies to hidden realms, from reincarnation to cosmic forces beyond human understanding, his journey will unravel secrets older than civilization itself. But the world isn’t ready for him. Pursued by shadowy organizations, betrayed by those he trusted, and confronted with his own inner demons, Ade must decide—will he run from his destiny, or will he embrace it and become something greater?
