They called him insane. Strange. Dangerous. The epitome of the obsessed, his life swallowed by a notion that no one could believe. It was easy to look solely on the surface, at a man deemed damaged and destroyed by those who hated him. He spoke of magic, they shunned him for his forbidden words. But they were secretly curious. They said he was the man who stopped time. Rumors proclaimed he had looked death in the face and survived. People whispered about his humble beginnings, and how he rose to the top, off his own hard work. They gossiped. They wrote until the truth was indistinguishable among the lies of the crowd. His name is Sebastian Wright. This is his story. **** All the beautiful illustrations in this book are drawn by the exceptionally talented @Sylvia_Pryde

Being a genius isn't hard. Or at least, not for Veronica Boniadi. Numbers and words, science and history - knowing it all is like breathing for Veronica. Though it's a breath she's been holding in from the rest of the world. To her classmates she's a burnout loser with no friends. To her struggling family she's the only one able to help them get through the day. Throughout all of high school, Veronica's genius is never really shown. That is, until the school's principal feels the need to pair her up with a tutor. Jay, the top student in senior year - haughty and arrogant, and everything Veronica despises - is given the task of making sure Veronica doesn't fail the midterms and sink the school's overall score below the national average. Forced to do actual school work for the first time in her life, Veronica tries to downplay her intellect as much as possible. She doesn't want the attention, the distraction, or any responsibility that might take her away from supporting her sick family. But fooling Jay turns out to be much harder than she thought.

It was as if they were glad my parents were dead.

Finally, after five long years, the two have liberated the Zeldanian Empire and taken back what's part of the Galactorial Empire. Xander is finally free to enjoy his week on the planet of Maratos, but Zaria believes that the threat is not over. When Zaria is proven to be right, the two fight for their lives and to save the rest of the Galactical Empire. Little do they know that betrayal is in store... Note: If I get enough votes I might turn this into a full on series. I have a lot planned so I really hope I get enough votes. Remember that this is a shortened version and even some mystery parts that I originally came up with in my head are gonna be excluded to fit the word count maximum. It will feel very rushed compared to my other writing because of this. I really do hope I have the opportunity to extend it and write it all out in the future. Disclaimer: This story is mine. I don't post this anywhere else so please tell me if you see it on any other sites. I hold all rights to this story although I do allow fanfictions as long as they follow copyright laws. Thank you!!!
