10,000 years ago in the great Kingdom of Dwireand, a blacksmith forged a mighty sword that may only be wielded by someone who's brave and mighty. But one day...an evil sorcerer named Despero, stole the blade. Using his dark magic, he put a powerful curse on the blade and whoever touches it, shall be turned evil and be exposed to the dark powers of the sword that is now known as The Shadowblade.
Sadly for the sorcerer...the blade was way too powerful for him to wield. But when he tried to reverse the curse from the blade..it backfired and ultimately killed him. The blade was so powerful and dangerous, it had to be sealed away Forever. Many years have passed and it's been very peaceful in the kingdom. Until an evil ruler named Lord Boreas came and took over the kingdom as his own; and he now seeks the dark powers of the shadowblade.
Now it's up to four brave warriors to stop Lord Boreas and restore peace and order into Dwireand.

Even though he failed to free the blade, he inadvertently woke it. The weapon cursed him, dooming the oldest in his bloodline to hear the its call, enticing them to follow in his footsteps and seek it as he once did.

Destiny Reckoning
AARYAN never believed in fate. Born into hardship and shaped by struggle, he clawed his way out of the dirt only to find himself trapped in an unforgiving world where the strong prey upon the weak. To survive, he relies on sharp instincts, careful calculations, and an iron will-never blind faith. Yet, when an expedition goes awry, AARYAN is thrust into a world he never sought-a world of cultivators, ruthless ambition, and forces beyond his understanding. For the first time, true power-the kind that could rewrite his fate-is within reach. Forced into a ruthless sect where deception is survival and strength is law, AARYAN is caught in a web of scheming elders, ruthless rivals, and unseen hands shaping his fate. With only his wits, a growing mastery of cultivation, and an uncanny knack for getting into (and out of) absurd situations, he must carve his own path-one not dictated by destiny. But fate is not so easily denied. Shadows of the past stir, whispers of something greater call to him, and something far older watches from the dark. In a world where the heavens dictate the fates of all, AARYAN has only one goal: to prove that his life is his to control. Even if it means standing against the very will of the heavens themselves.

Cosmic
In an alternate timeline, the human race found a way to create superpowers. By extracting energy from stars and inserting that energy into humans, 'powers' were created. Powers allowed humans to gain unnatural abilities such as flight, invisibility, super strength or in other words, superpowers. Of course, with the introduction of something so revolutionary, people rose up in the hundreds of thousands in an event known as the Great Rebellion. The insurgents banded together under a single banner and became collectively known as the Shadow, marking the beginning of the Cosmic Wars. Out of the darkness, the Gazers were born. Using what remained of the power technology, the Gazers singlehandedly perished the evil and ended the conflict. However, there was a price to pay. Powers put a toll on the human body and had serious mental and physical repercussions. The solution was to recruit children from the age of 13 to 18 and train them so their bodies would adapt to their powers, eventually becoming immune to all negative side effects. The end of the Cosmic Wars brought forth a new age of peace and prosperity that the world had never seen before. However, the long reign of the Gazers has already begun to crumble, cracks showing up within the very thread of society. Their rule will not last for much longer. The Shadow will rise once again. Or in other words, my unintentional and accidental ripoff of My Hero Academia :/ Blurb is a work in progressComplete

Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead.

After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta.
