Shield of Destiny

Devyani_Kumari05
In a world governed by six elemental powers, where no one can wield more than two without succumbing to destruction, balance has been the key to survival. But balance is fragile, and chaos is rising. Among the seven ancient families who once protected the world, a prophecy whispers of a Chosen One, a child born with the potential to wield all six powers. Yet this prophecy also brings a shadow—a fear that such power could either save the world or destroy it. The youngest heir of the seven families, a ten-year-old boy, lives unaware of his destiny. Like his six friends, he believes he can wield only two powers, unaware that his extraordinary spiritual strength has already begun to unlock something far greater. His parents and elders, haunted by the prophecy, recognize his unique gift—a bloodline so strong that it could awaken powers beyond comprehension. Their awe is matched by their fear: his potential could make him a savior, or the very force that plunges the world into chaos. When rival magical families, driven by greed and ambition, learn of the boy’s existence, they launch a devastating attack on the seven families, aiming to capture him and exploit his untapped potential. The elders, realizing the magnitude of the threat, make the ultimate sacrifice to protect their descendants. In a desperate act of magic, they send the heirs of each family—including the youngest—to a secret sanctuary, shielding them from the world while ensuring they can train and grow strong. Years pass, and the heirs, now young adults, must emerge from their hidden refuge to confront the chaos overtaking their world. The youngest, still unaware of his true potential, discovers the truth of his lineage and the prophecy that foretells his role as the Chosen One. But the journey ahead is fraught with peril. His ability to wield all six powers defies the natural order, and his spiritual strength makes him a target for those who would manipulate him—or destroy him. Guided by his six companions—four boys and three girls, each carrying their own family’s legacy—the Chosen One must navigate a world on the brink of collapse, uncover the secrets of his powers, and face the terrifying truth of his destiny. Will he restore balance, or will his existence bring the chaos he was born to prevent? In a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the burden of unimaginable power, The Legacy of Seven explores the fine line between savior and destroyer, and the choices that define a hero.

A Path To Omniscience

Asher Frostvale was the sole child of the Frostvale Family. Raised in Atlas, he was groomed since birth to become the ideal heir of Frostvale Enterprises. Accustomed to a life of luxury and mingling with high society, everything seemed to be on track for him; his future was neatly mapped out before he was even conceived. That was, at least, until his tenth birthday. On that day, by some twist of fate and the whims of a strange cosmic being, Asher experienced something that would plunge him into a nearly four-year coma. During that time, he witnessed something horrific: a catastrophic event from the distant future that promised to plunge absolutely everything he knew into chaos. After spending what felt like an eternity witnessing the slow collapse of the world, Asher awoke a changed person, different from the boy he once was. Even after being reunited with friends and family, his mind was fixated on one thing, and one thing alone, and that was to prepare both himself and his world to confront the looming threat by any means necessary. Fortunately, his personality wasn't the only thing altered during his coma. His mind had become connected to a peculiar alternate space that could not only function as a mobile workshop but also allow him to assimilate any form of substantial knowledge and then surpass it. Through this power, he would go on to achieve technological advancements never seen before and create machines, devices, and gadgets that seemed completely impossible. However, all things come with a price, and Asher's was one that would paint him as the most bloodthirsty conqueror in history. Release Schedule: Monday, Wednesday & Friday. (Around 7:11 PM Eastern Standard Time) - Although it is obviously non-canon, this story shares stuff such as terms, concepts, and entities, with my novel "When Fantasy Glitches".
