The Precious One

In a world where power determines fate, Aarav Mahata is nothing more than an F-rank Balancer—a nobody struggling to survive in the unforgiving streets of Mumbai. Every day is a battle against hunger, against stronger opponents, against a world that doesn’t care if he lives or dies. But when a routine hunt goes horribly wrong, he comes face to face with something beyond comprehension—an ancient force that shouldn’t exist. In the blink of an eye, the balance of his life shifts, and the weakling everyone ignored suddenly becomes an anomaly that shouldn’t be alive. As whispers of his survival spread, unseen forces begin to take interest. The Order, a powerful faction that governs Balancers, watches from the shadows. Rogue hunters, secret organizations, and enemies he doesn’t even know exist start moving. Aarav is no longer just another weakling—he is something that defies the natural order. With every step forward, he uncovers the truth about his past, the real reason behind his insignificance, and the terrifying secret hidden beneath the city’s neon lights. But power comes at a cost, and Aarav’s journey is one paved with blood, betrayal, and the weight of something far greater than himself. As he fights to carve his own path, he must answer a question that will define his existence—will he control the balance, or will the balance consume him?

A man desperate for salvation. A woman desperate for freedom. For as long as Althea could remember, she had been nothing more than a shadow in her father’s house—unwanted, unloved, and barely acknowledged. As the illegitimate daughter of Count Thornwell, she endured a life of cruelty, neglected by her father, tormented by her stepmother, and overshadowed by her perfect half-sister. But fate was not entirely unkind. One day, she discovered a gift hidden within her blood—the power to heal. For the first time, she had something that was truly hers. Something no one could take away. Then, she meets Duke Eldric Caelum—a man feared across the empire for his overwhelming elemental power. A man who, despite his terrifying strength, suffers in silence as his abilities slowly tear him apart. The first time she touched him, she felt his pain. The first time she healed him, he felt relief for the first time in years. And when the emperor commanded him to take a wife, Eldric didn’t choose anyone but Althea. Faced with a choice between a lifetime of suffering or a marriage to a ruthless but powerful duke, Althea made the only decision that could save her. She said yes. But she never expected that the man she married—the one she thought would be cold and distant—would hold her like she was precious, touch her like she was fragile, and look at her like she was the only thing that mattered. She never expected that amid duty, danger, and the weight of their pasts, she might find something else entirely. A place to belong. A heart that beat only for her. A love that even fate couldn’t take away… …Or could it? — "Why… why do you look at me like that?" Althea whispered, her voice barely audible over the crackling fire. Eldric reached out, his rough, calloused fingers brushing against her cheek with agonizing gentleness. "Like what?" "Like I’m something precious." He exhaled softly, as if the very idea of her doubting it pained him. "Because you are. You are my salvation, Althea." Althea’s breath caught in her throat. "Eldric…" His forehead rested against hers, his voice a mere whisper now. "Stay with me. No matter what happens, stay."
