Chapter 20: The Shadow That Chose Him
They say the strongest flames are born from the coldest winters and Leo Carter was no exception.He first opened his eyes in the blue-gray light of dawn, on a morning weighed down by the hush of rain against the window. His mother’s arms, warm and trembling, were the only comfort he knew. In that moment, she held her breath....both for him and for the life that had changed forever.“Leo Carter,” his mother whispered for the first time, her voice thick with wonder and worry. “You are safe now.”Behind them lay a life she would never speak of again. His parents two extraordinary individuals...... once shared love and power beyond compare, but that love had fractured. His mother, an elemental sorceress whose fire sparked legends, had carried Leo without letting his father know. When the truth slipped free, the marriage collapsed. He vanished from their lives. She chose to leave him that way.Alone, she raised Leo. At first, strength came easily—crafted by youthful hope and magic born of
Chapter 19: Back to the Realm
The cold in the realm was different. It wasn’t the kind of cold that came from snow or winter. It was a dead, hollow cold that sank into Ethan’s bones and refused to leave. His body ached. His wrists were bound by black iron chains pulsing with dark magic, each link etched with ancient runes that siphoned his strength little by little.Ethan knelt in the center of a ruined chamber, surrounded by flickering torches that gave off no warmth. The walls around him were cracked and crumbling, decorated with faded murals of forgotten gods. The air reeked of decay, and in the shadows, twisted spirits whispered curses in a language he couldn’t understand.He had lost track of time. Minutes, hours, maybe even days—it all blurred into one long nightmare.Then, they came.Dark figures, cloaked in robes made of smoke and shadow, glided into the chamber. One of them stepped forward. Unlike the others, this one had a face—sharp and pale, with eyes like burning coals. He spoke with a voice like shatt
Chapter 18: Beneath the Thunder of Applause
It was a day of grandeur and glory.Avalon Academy stood bathed in light, the towering spires gleaming beneath a clear azure sky. Banners bearing the sigils of the Five Houses fluttered across every corridor, balcony, and rooftop. Students and instructors alike wore ceremonial robes embroidered with magical threads that shimmered in the sun. The scent of roasted meat and sweetcakes drifted through the air from open pavilions near the stadium, where food stalls and vendors catered to the crowd gathering in celebration.The entire campus buzzed with energy—for today marked the Anniversary of Founding, a sacred tradition where the academy not only celebrated its origins but also paid tribute to the forces of magic and the warriors who protected the realm. The Grandmaster and the High Council were in attendance, and so were numerous SSS-ranked heroes of old, returning to witness the next generation rise.The enormous stadium at the heart of Avalon was filled to its brim. Thousands of stud
Chapter 17: Shadows Beneath the Flame
The sun rose over Avalon Academy, painting the ancient stone towers in hues of gold and crimson. But beneath its beauty, the school was uneasy. Rumors had already spread like wildfire—of the explosion of light at the hospital wing, of Leo’s forbidden power, and of Elaine’s near-death and mysterious recovery. Then came the summons. Every student, from first-year initiates to elite SSS-ranked seniors, was ordered to gather in the Grand Convocation Hall—an enormous domed chamber at the heart of the academy. The stained glass murals along the walls shimmered with soft magic, and the sound of murmuring voices echoed endlessly beneath the curved ceiling. Whispers buzzed from one row to the next. "Did you hear? Leo used a dark ability." "Elaine almost died..." "They say the hospital wing exploded with energy!" "I heard he’s being kept in the attic tower, under guard." The room hushed as the Grandmaster entered. Clad in flowing midnight-blue robes trimmed with silver runes, Grandmas
chapter 16: Between Light and Shadow
{Back at the Hospital}The moment the Grandmaster stepped into the ward, the suffocating energy that had filled the room began to dissipate. The swirling wind that had churned through every corner of the hospital faded into silence. Lights flickered once more to life. The oppressive pressure lifted like a fog parting at dawn.Elaine's body lay at the center of the chaos—limp, glowing embers fading slowly from her skin. Blood pooled beneath her, staining the sheets she had once used to meditate. The light was gone, but the memory of it pulsed in the walls like an aftershock.The doctors rushed to her, hands trembling as they worked quickly to stop the bleeding. One nurse pressed cloth to her side while another checked her vitals. Her pulse was weak. Faint. But it was there.“Stabilize her,” the Grandmaster said with quiet command. His voice carried weight—an ancient one that calmed even the most panicked heart in the room. “I want a full containment barrier around this wing. No one ent
Chapter 15: Echoes of the Forbidden Flame
The moon hung high over Avalon Academy, casting a silvery glow across the deserted courtyard. On the rooftop training chamber, Ethan stood alone. The cool night breeze tousled his hair as he stared into the distance, trying to piece together the events that had unfolded.The atmosphere was charged with tension......a heavy silence blanketing the academy, as if the very walls were holding their breath in anticipation.“Oh, there you are,” Sophia’s voice broke the silence as she approached him.“I’ve been searching for you for hours. What’s wrong, darling? Don’t tell me you’re still brooding over what happened with Leo.”She paused, her eyes searching his face.“You know he can’t do anything for now. He’s locked up.”For a moment, Ethan remained silent, his gaze fixed on the horizon. Then, with a sigh, he spoke.“Yeah, you’re right. He’s been locked up.....but we both know it won’t be for long. I still wonder how he came across such immense power. That kind of power is forbidden... Yet,
