RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO ELEMENTAL TRAINING: FIRE
Shiro stepped onto the training grounds, where the Fire Training ground stretched out before him—a vast, open space enclosed by a high stone wall, with a structure that seemed to reach toward the sky. The air here had a distinct heat, even before the fires began. Burnt soil stretched across the field, while scattered fire pits and practice targets dotted the area, waiting for the day's training. Around him, other students were getting ready for the session, murmuring in low voices. They were here for a challenge, yet they couldn't mask their enthusiasm . Shiro’s eyes swept over the place, noting the energy in the air. Korin was somewhere waiting for him to finish his Fire training. The Fire training had a different feel from the others; it felt raw, powerful, and alive. He took a deep breath, the air warm and thick with the scent of smoke. A loud, clear voice interrupted the buzz. “Alright, everyone!” It was their instructor, a tall, sturdy woman with a red cherry like skin a
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO MYSTERIOUS DEATH
The news of the possessed boy's death spread like wildfire across the Serevaal Training Academy.The morning air felt heavy as Shiro and Korin had walked through the academy, still unaware of what happened. Though, there was no training scheduled today, so the ground wasn't full of much people, Shiro wondered why.Whispers of hushed conversations drifted from corners with one person's name lingering in the air – the possessed boy in the dungeon.Mei soon caught up with Shiro and Korin as they made their way to the training ground." Did you hear?? They say the possessed boy that attacked the school a few weeks ago is dead." Mei said with a sad tone.Shiro halted immediately and then blinked. "Dead ? How ?!" He said, startled as he looked at Korin."Well, the council is yet to release an official statement about what happened but rumors have it that he killed himself ...." Mei replied, her tone hushed. ".... last night, right in his cell"Korin frowned, his antennas twitching. "That po
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO WITHERED BLOSSOM
Yuki sat alone in his small cottage, surrounded by the quiet night. The cottage was located in the Serevaal village, a lot of supernaturals lived thereEver since his dad died, he had kept to himself, rarely talking to others. People thought he was strong and calm, but deep inside, he felt a heavy sadness.Tonight, he couldn't ignore it anymore. He was going to the Memory Blossom garden -- a place that could show him a memory of his dad, just once. He knew he'd only have one chance in his lifetime to use the flower, but for him, it was worth it.Strangely, he had told Shiro about his dad at the festival. He didn't know why, but just did and he doesn't normally talk about it to anyone.As the night deepened, Yuki decided it was time to go. The Memory Blossom garden was most powerful at night; the blossoms glowed brightest under the moonlight, making memories feel almost real.He closed his eyes and summoned his water mage. A shimmering blue figure, like a spirit made of clear water, ap
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO ELEMENTAL TRAINING: EARTH
Shiro and Korin made their way to the training grounds, anticipation swirling in the morning air.Today, Shiro would be learning Earth magic, and he was also excited as he would train with Mei today.As he arrived, he spotted his Mei, and waved. Together, they all walked towards the Earth training section where a small group of students was already gathered.Korin then left them to practice.Mrs. Rena stood at the front, her calm and commanding presence immediately catching everyone's attention. She looked over the students with a focused expression before beginning."Good morning, everyone," she greeted the group. " Today, we'll be working with the Earth element. I want you all to know that Earth is not just about moving rocks or controlling soil. It's about feeling the steady force that grounds everything around us."Shiro and Mia exchanged glances, both a little awed. They took their places among the other students, listening closely.Mrs. Rena continued, her gaze sweeping over the
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO PROMOTION CEREMONY
It was a bright, cheerful day at the training grounds of Serevaal, a day that brimmed with excitement and pride. The air smelled of blooming petal vine flowers, which grew along the arched stone pathways.Crystal-clear water fountains shot streams of shimmering liquid high into the air, their gentle splashes adding a melody to the bustling atmosphere. Silver and blue banners hung elegantly between the tall trees that surrounded the training grounds.Today was no ordinary day. It was the Promotion Ceremony, where students were awarded badges to signify their progress in their training. Each badge represented a new milestone and was a testament to the hard work, determination, and growth of the students. Shiro and Mei stood among them, Shiro's heart beating faster than usual. They were about to be promoted to the NOVICE level-a step forward in Shiro's journey.The center of attention was a raised podium, carved from white marble and adorned with intricate etchings of the four elements.
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO ANCIENT WRITINGS
The next day, Shiro was invited by Zerix to his home. Zerix's house was still within the council area, but it sat further out.Shiro knew the reason for the invitation-it had to be something about the possessed boy. Of course, Korin came along; they were practically inseparable these days.Inside, Zerix's home was nothing like Shiro expected. Truthfully, he hadn't pictured much at all, but the house surprised him. The exterior was quite modern, with sleek walls and sharp edges, but the inside was steeped in history. The architecture looked ancient, with detailed carvings on the walls and ceilings. Zerix's lineage as a water descendant was clear. Paintings of stormy oceans, calm lakes, and powerful water mages covered the walls. They told stories of past battles and peaceful eras, all tied to the power of water.Soon, Zerix appeared, dressed in his usual royal clothes. He didn't waste time and led them to his study, a room filled with old scrolls, books, and shimmering artifacts.Zerix
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO WHISPERS IN THE DARK
The moonlight cast a pale glow over the ruins, making the broken stones look even older. A hooded man stepped out of the shadows, moving quietly toward a figure standing at the edge of the crumbled archway. He paused before a figure standing at the edge of the ruins, gazing out into the vast night."Master," the hooded man said, bowing slightly to the figure. His voice was deep, carrying an almost respectful tone.The figure did not turn but acknowledged him with a subtle tilt of the head."I bring news," the hooded man continued. "I saw Protector Rexar at the Memory Blossom Garden the other day."The figure stiffened, barely perceptible, but the tension in the air was unmistakable. "Rexar?" The voice was smooth but carried a note of restrained surprise."Yes," the man replied, his tone steady. "I suspect he was searching for something-i don't know, perhaps even a way to intervene. His presence wasn't coincidental."For a moment, the figure was silent, the weight of the revelation lin
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO SUMMONING YOUR MAGE
The morning weather bathed the training grounds in a purple glow, but the air carried an edge of tension.Unlike the slight tension of the beginner's training ground area, this section of Serevaal was stark and disciplined. The field stretched endlessly, bordered by ancient, towering stones etched with runes that hummed faintly. The ground was marked with symbols of the elements, each glowing softly, as if alive with power. The air itself seemed heavier here, as though reminding all who entered that this was not a place for games.The novice stage as Shiro heard was said to be grueling, far more demanding than anything they had faced in the beginner's level. Shiro wore a faint smile." This place is something else, Korin," Shiro muttered, scanning the environment. "It feels so different." He said, his nerves apparent on his face."Different is one way to put it," Korin replied.They reached the center of the grounds, where a group of students had already gathered, their chatter subdue

CHAINS TO FLAMES
A voice. Faint, yet firm. Calling him. "Wake up." Shiro's eyes fluttered open. His vision blurred for a moment before settling on the btight space around him. Shiro then looked up at the figure standing before him. His breath hitched. The man was tall, his skin a deep crimson, glowing faintly in the darkness. His eyes, golden and piercing, held a calm authority. His hair, long and flowing like fire, carried a power Shiro could feel in his bones. He looked exactly like him—Shiro. No. I look like him. Shiro thought. Was he??? "You... you're Elro," Shiro whispered, his voice hoarse. The figure smiled. "Yes, I am." Shiro stared at him, his mind racing. Elro. The great savior of Serevaal. But why was he here? Why was he standing before him, speaking as though he had been waiting for this moment? "Why are you here?" Shiro asked, his voice laced with confusion. Elro's expression remained calm. "I should be asking you the same, young hero. Why are you here?" Shiro frowned, loweri
NO PROOF NO MERCY
Liora stood firm as Cora’s helper returned and gestured for her to enter. Ryn shot her a wary glance, but she stepped in without hesitation. The chamber was dimly lit, the scent of burning incense hanging in the air. Cora sat at a low table, with a cup of tea in her hand, looking as composed as ever. "Liora," Cora greeted with a small smile. "I wasn’t expecting a visit…. from you at least. Shouldn’t you be resting?" Liora met her gaze, masking the storm inside her. "I feel fine now." Her voice was steady, but there was the slightest edge to it. "I needed to see you, Protector." Cora arched her brow. "To see me?" She took a slow sip of her tea. "How flattering." Liora sat across from her, never breaking eye contact. "I wanted to ask about Shiro." Cora didn’t even flinch. "Shiro? The little one, have you found or heard from him?" "Oh, you're aware that he’s missing," Liora said carefully. "You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?" Cora exhaled softl
QUESTIONED TRUTHS
Liora stirred awake, her body heavy with tiredness and exhaustion. The orb had drained all her strength, but she was recovering slowly and refused to stay in bed any longer because she was getting better anyways. Slowly, she swung her legs over the side and forced herself up, ignoring the lingering ache in her limbs. The room was dimly lit, the candles flickering from the draft seeping through the cracks in the stone walls.She was alone this time. Zerix had visited her earlier today, his voice tight with worry as he told her about Shiro that had been taken. He informed her on how the council was searching for him, but no trace had been found. The news had sent a chill down her spine, yet another weight added to the storm of unease building up inside her.She knew something. She just needed answers.Liora turned towards the bookshelves lining the far wall, each shelf packed with texts on elements and it's elemental powers, it's history, and the legends of Serevaal. But… Lio
ENEMIES AMONGST US
Shiro groaned as he woke up, his whole body aching. His arms were tied behind his back, and his wrists burned from the rough ropes. His head hurt, and he could smell damp earth around him. Grass twigs stuck in his messy hair, and the ground beneath him was cold and hard.He tried to open his eyes.Nothing.A blindfold.Panic rose in his chest, but before he could say anything, a voice spoke. "When the protector loses strength, shadows consume the light."Shiro froze. "Beware the one whose path is hidden in plain sight."His breath caught. Those words…They were the same ones written on the dungeon walls—the ones Shuifeng had translated. The footsteps moved closer."What do you want from me?!" Shiro shouted.A low chuckle. "Have you ever thought about what those words mean, human boy?"Shiro stayed silent as the man stepped even closer. He felt a warm breath near his face, then—sniffing. The man was sniffing himShiro tensed. “Disgusting." Shiro thought to himself The man ignored
THE ATTACK
The festival was alive with vibrant energy as Shiro, Mei, and Yuki wandered through the lively streets. Lanterns of every color swayed gently overhead, casting a warm glow over the crowd. Performers juggled flaming torches while some merchants called out, advertising their wares. The air smelled of roasted chestnuts and sugary treats, making it almost impossible to resist stopping at every stall.“This is insane!” Mei exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she glanced at a nearby booth selling tiny, glowing trinkets. “They really went all out this time. It's very lively and big, even amidst all that's happening now.”Yuki smirked, nudging her playfully. “ That's right, Mei, and try not to blow your whole allowance on those glowing rocks there.” he said as he caught her staring at them.“They’re not rocks!” Mei huffed, crossing her arms. “And don’t act like you’re not eyeing that grilled meat skewer stand over there.”Yuki’s stomach growled, betraying him, and he shrugged with a sheepish gri
COUNCIL MEETING
Alaric cleared his throat, breaking the heavy silence. “We need to address the orb’s instability. Liora’s condition is proof that we are wasting so much time in stopping the Dark One.”Rexar leaned back in his chair, his large arms crossed. “We’ve been quite lenient on this matter for a while. Don't you think? That's why the orb keeps getting unstable, this is nothing different. The Dark One’s influence is seeping through already. I can feel it. Or maybe someone within the council, tampered with the orb.”“You know that can't happen, this council is guarded.” Alaric replied sharply, “This is an anomaly, it's the Dark One.”“An anomaly or not, the orb almost killed one of us! How many more anomalies are you willing to accept before we act, Protectors”“Enough,” Zerix said firmly, his voice cutting through their budding argument. “We’re not here to argue. We’re here to find a solution.”Cora, who had been quietly observing the exchange, leaned forward slightly. Her tone was fierce but
DANCE OF FIRE AND EARTH
He wiped the sweat from his brow, casting a sideways glance at Yeuhan. “What now?” he asked, his voice strained but determined. Yeuhan watched him for a long moment, his expression still unreadable. "Now?.” Shiro wiped his forehead, his body trembling slightly from the exertion. “I thought you were going to kill me,” he muttered under his breath. Yeuhan’s laugh was low and dark. “I could, but where’s the fun in that? You’re still too weak, Shiro. The real challenge comes when you stop relying on physical force and start listening to your elements.” Shiro frowned, trying to make sense of what Yeuhan was saying. “So… control?” Yeuhan's eyes sparkled with an edge of amusement. “More than that. It’s about connection, I'm sure you've been told. You can’t force your elements to obey. You have to ask them, listen to them, guide them with your will.” Shiro didn’t fully understand, but he nodded anyway. He was learning—although at a pace he never thought possible. Before he could say an
THE OLD MASTER'S TEST
The soft glow of the new day painted streaks of amber across the waypaths of Serevaal. Shiro walked briskly, his mind swirling with Cora’s words. " It requires someone capable of wielding all four elements in harmony. Someone… like you.” Her voice echoed in his head, refusing to let him rest.But how could he possibly break the seal if he hadn’t even mastered one element fully? His abilities were raw, unrefined, and the weight of expectations felt heavier than ever.Shiro hesitated at the threshold of Yeuhan’s secluded house. He had found himself there after long consideration of visiting. The place emanated a quiet power, its wooden walls lined with intricate carvings of elements. It was a silent testament to the Old man that lived there.Shiro knocked. No answer. Again. No answer.“Yeuhan?” Shiro called, now pushing the door slightly ajar. The room inside was dimly lit by shafts of sunlight breaking through the wooden shutters. Shiro moved further, finding another door. Curiosity g
THREAD OF DECEPTION
Shiro sat on the edge of his bed, the weight of the past few days pressing on his chest. His thoughts kept circling back to what had happened back at the council—just like everyone, he wanted answers. And he also felt bad for Protector Liora. The air in his room felt heavy, suffocating. He couldn’t stay there any longer. He looked over at Korin who made faint sleep noises before leaving. Stepping out into the stillness of the area, Shiro moved toward a quiet corner where he often found peace. The training grounds had been eerily quiet since the council’s decision to pause all sessions due to what happened. Two days of restless waiting had done little to calm his nerves and his elements. As he sat on the stone bench, a prickling sensation ran down his spine. Someone was watching him. He stood abruptly, spinning around, his eyes scanning the shadows. “Who’s there?” His voice was firm, though his heart raced. No answer. He exhaled sharply, turning back to his seat—only to find hims
