The Cursed Edge

DC_Punz
In the world of Aethelgard, power is not measured by wealth or status, but by the elemental Qi flowing through one’s blade. For centuries, the Thirteen Great Clans—masters of Fire, Water, Wind, and Shadow—have drenched the land in blood to claim the Primal Core. Lex Solar-Asha was born in the heart of this chaos. The son of the Solar Clan’s legendary Fire Grandmaster and a runaway Princess of the Abyssal Dark Clan, Lex should have been the ultimate warrior. Instead, he was born a "Dull Blade." Targeted at birth by a spiteful High Inquisitor, Lex was struck with the Frozen Heart Curse. This jagged Shard of Void-Ice creates a lethal paradox: whenever Lex tries to manifest his father’s holy fire, the curse freezes his blood, causing excruciating pain and total Qi paralysis. To the Solar Clan, he is a broken heir. To his father, he is a silent reminder of a lost wife and a failed lineage. But where the fire died, a cold resolve took root. Forced to survive without the elemental magic his peers take for granted, Lex masters the art of Pure Swordplay—speed, physics, and a lethal precision that defies nature. Under the secret tutelage of a disgraced smith, Lex discovers that his curse is not a prison, but a battery. By embracing the friction between his father’s dormant fire and his mother’s repressed darkness, Lex develops the forbidden Eclipse Style. He doesn't just strike his enemies; he devours their light and freezes their momentum. As the truce between the Thirteen Clans begins to fracture, Lex must navigate a world of political treachery and ancient blood feuds. He will climb the ranks of the martial world not as a master of one element, but as the anomaly who threatens them all. He is the Shadow cast by the Sun. He is the Eclipse.

The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

The Architect of Anarchy

The ancient gods battled the eternal Void for decades, until they sacrificed themselves to weave a grand enchantment using the strings of existence. Before its imprisonment, the Void left behind an insidious whisper, a curse consuming all the realms, until only the Sacred Sanctuary remained.. Chaos Creatures were unleashed to wreck havoc upon the five sacred realms, and with them came the Noise. Every human born after the Age of the Gods becomes susceptible to the Eplialtic Weave–the cursed version of the Rune of Imprisonment rooted deep in the consciousness of every human being. Equipped with the vile system, heroes must arise to defend to few remaining humans against Chaos Creatures, the Noise and Corruption. ———— On his 16th birthday, Luke survives his Nightmare and becomes a Commonality – Tier 5 awakened warriors armed with miraculous abilities. Because he is a poor rat with a severely malnourished consciousness, he had never expected to survive the Nightmare and activate the Eplialtic Weave system inside him. He learns of the profane nature of his powers, and navigates the cosmos in search of the Truth. The Rune of Imprisonment is collapsing. It would only be a matter of time before the Void breaks free and wrecks havoc in the entire cosmos. The massive responsibility now falls on Luke's shoulders - he must make sure that the Void remains sealed forever, but he fails to account for one fatal flaw... ———— Discord://discord.gg/t8X7Gkd2
