My life? Many people see me as the most fortunate person existing. Maybe it was due to the power I wield, or what I had in my possession. But I found it hilarious; how I, myself, find my life worthless, every and anything I cared about getting burned in the flames of my ever-flowing energy. I don't mean it literally, more like… a metaphor, I guess. The world always opposed every and anything I stood for. I'm sure if you stood against me you would end up victorious. Anyway, off with my sorrows. To make everything interesting, I'll have to show you a clearer view of the world I live in.  Here it is; the story I so much wanted to share with you… all of you… *** In Archon, the union of a demon and angel was considered sacrilege to all its inhabitants—Apart from this glaring hatred for the union, any offspring from the union would die a miserable death. Stiles, a Nephalem, birthed from the union of a demon and angel had no choice but to face this challenge head-on, his parent's life becoming the payment for his survival. Stiles, filled with anger, tried to end his life but failed with every attempt.  Embarking on a journey to end his miserable life, he came in contact with a fortress that will change his life, turning him from a depressed boy into a Ruler—one that will reign over the land of Archon. ______________ Good day, ladies/gentlemen.  I've not done much writing, but I hope you would check my work out and give feedback.

A Higher Purpose. The Greater Good. *** When Jala encounters the stranger at the corner of the street, she doesn't realize it is the same guy she sees every night in her dreams. Sounds romantic, isn't it? Well, it isn't, because this connection runs deeper than blood and stronger than bones. 4 individuals from different walks of life united by a dream they all share (literally), and the will to prove themselves where the discovery of self is yet to be accomplished, and battles they must individually face to attain the Greater Good, is a journey we all take in lives, except this one is ensnared within a web of lies. Friends will be betrayed, sacrifices will be made, and blood will be shed, but their best companion will prove to be their anonymity. But how will they really remain nameless, when there is a constant nagging feeling that they are being watched? And will it all be worth it in the end?

In a world ruled by royal families, where power is law and noble blood means everything, Elian is born into a body that does not match his soul. In his past life, he was Reynald Arkanios, a king who carried a legacy spanning generations. But now, he is merely the son of a former adventurer—without titles, without influence, and with nothing but his memories and his sword. Elian does not see the world through the lens of right and wrong. He is neither a hero seeking justice nor an anti-hero driven by revenge. He is simply someone walking his own path, unbound by laws imposed by others. His strength, his will, and a goal known only to him—these are the only things that matter. In a world filled with conspiracies, wars, and entities beyond human comprehension, will Elian reclaim his former glory? Or will this new world force him to become something even greater than he ever was? The journey of power, challenges, and breaking the norm begins now… Follow me on Instagram: mystquill_
