The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow In the city of Tenebrous, where magic converge, a young apprentice named Kael Darkhaven discovers he's the chosen one, destined to unravel the mysteries of the elusive shadow. The dark entity known only as Umbra or the devourer has haunted the city for years, leaving chaos and destruction in its wake. As Kael delves deeper into the mysteries of Umbra, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten his very existence. Guided by his enigmatic mentor, Caleb Thorne, Kael must navigate the treacherous world of Tenebrous, where powerful corporations and organizations wield control. With stakes escalating, Kael faces a maelstrom of forces vying for control of Umbra's power. The Archon, a mysterious figure shrouded in shadow, seems to manipulate the strings from behind the scenes, but their true intentions remain unknown. At every turn, Kael edges closer to the truth, yet the shadows deepen, and the line between reality and illusion blurs. Can he triumph over the darkness within and without, or will the shadow consume him, forever trapping Tenebrous in eternal darkness? I attest that "The Guardian and the Archon: The Cursed Shadow" is an original work, and any similarities to existing works are unintentional.

"Kill them all...Burn it down..." Those are the words I heard echoing in my head ever since the day I woke up in Lorelei. The voice sounds familiar. I've heard it before. But would it be crazy if I said it sounded like me? Would it be crazy...if I said i remembered dying? Utterly rediculous. To repeat the same thing over and over, expecting a different result while changing absolutely nothing. I was the son of a Duke and a commoner in a foreign land. Through pain and suffering, I somehow managed to marry a beautiful Princess of that land. You know...after my father got eaten by a dragon. And after being locked in a dungeon and tortured by her insane sister... But none of that matters now. Because my world lies in ruins. Everyone I've ever known is dead. All except my beloved, who stands to protect me with her shield. But I don't mean to say that things have been destroyed... What I mean, is much simpler. Avernia is gone. Gone forever. Lost to the plague I called 'The Black Ooze'. But I'll avenge it. I'll kill the one responsibke for massacring my family and destroying my world. They'll regret having made an enemy out of me. Because the sword I wield is called Vengeance. The Overseer sword. The Omni-Weapon. No matter the cost...I will have vengeance. I'll kill them all. I'll burn everything down.

What would you do if you woke up to find a door in your room? No, not and ordinary, well-behaved room that stays in the wall where it belongs, but one standing near the side of your bed that leads to another world.
