The Silent Chord: A Mythic Awakening

Exile0001
In a world where strength isn’t decided by muscles or magic… but by how well you can sing, humanity survives on borrowed time. After the apocalypse, Earth was overrun by nightmarish creatures from the abyss, beings capable of wiping out entire cities overnight. Just when extinction seemed inevitable, humanity heard it. The Song. A mysterious, cosmic melody that awakens supernatural abilities within those who can resonate with it. The stronger your voice, the greater your power. Heroes rose, legends were born… and humanity began to fight back. But not everyone is chosen. Elias Verdan was painfully ordinary. Born in a forgotten town, Elias had no talent, no voice… and no chance of ever becoming Awakened. In the endless war against the abyss, he wasn’t even worthy of becoming cannon fodder. Until the day everything changed. When his town was attacked, Elias could only watch as the creatures corrupted his family before his eyes, too powerless to fight back. And in that moment… something inside him finally snapped. So what happens when a boy with nothing left to lose encounters a Primordial god willing to grant him everything he desires… In exchange for an insane wish? *** SYSTEM MESSAGE [Rejoice, fortunate one. The Song has recognized you as one of its own.] [Initializing…] [Synchronization in progress… 40%… 80%… Complete.] [Class: Silent Chord] [Class Rank: Mythic] *** “Master! Emergency! A Grade-9 Humming Bird has appeared in a town twenty degrees northeast of the capital! Every Hero sent to stop it has been wiped out!” “…Oh?” Elias slowly stood up and stretched. “Ella,” he said lazily. “Start the fire.” A faint smile appeared on his face. “I think dinner just arrived.” —- (Authors Email: [email protected])

The Devil Who Claimed Me

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. “You can’t die without my permission.” -------------- Mila Vega, a promising heart surgeon, lived her life on her own terms until she saved a stranger, until she found out the weak and injured man she had brought home was a ruthless devil. Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”
