Lila Frost sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes staring blankly at the luxurious brocade drapes of her room. Frustration still consumed her heart after yesterday’s events. She clutched a small pillow tightly, letting it absorb her emotional turmoil, while wondering how she could face the outside world now that everyone was likely talking about her.

“I can’t go out,” she muttered softly, almost whispering to herself. “Everyone must be calling me a cheater.”

Her thoughts were interrupted when she began to hear voices outside her window. At first, it was just faint murmurs, but soon the conversation became clearer.

“Have you heard?” A man's voice rang out enthusiastically. “Calen Storm has completely changed. People are saying it’s as if he’s possessed by his father’s spirit!”

Lila immediately perked up. That name, Calen Storm. She moved toward the window cautiously, parting the curtain slightly to peek outside. A group of soldiers was walking past the pavilion, their voices filled with

  • The God of War Calen Storm   Doubt

    Calen returned to his room, his mind still struggling to process the incredible turn his life had taken in just a few days. From being the discarded and mocked man to now having a genuine opportunity to prove his worth and perhaps even claim a high position in the military. It felt surreal, as if everything he had known before was a distant memory.As he stood by the window, staring out into the vast grounds of the military camp, the sound of a knock on his door broke his concentration. He turned around, puzzled, and opened the door to find a servant standing there, holding a bundle of clothes and armor."Lord Storm," the servant said respectfully. "I have been sent by General Ironheart to deliver your new uniform and armor. You are to be ready for the upcoming examination."Calen nodded, taking the items with a soft thank you. As the servant left, Calen glanced down at the polished armor, his fingers brushing over the intricate design. He couldn't help but smile slightly. This was it

  • The God of War Calen Storm   We’ll See

    Calen stepped onto the training grounds, his new armor gleaming under the sunlight. It felt strange to him—wearing something so pristine, so dignified—when just days ago, he had been nothing more than a ridiculed outcast. The sturdy armor clung to him like a second skin, as if affirming his resolve. In his grip was his father’s sword, its familiar weight a constant reminder of the legacy he bore.The soldiers gathered, their chatter a mix of curiosity and excitement. Eyes turned to Calen, some in awe, others in skepticism. Whispers traveled quickly through the ranks.“Is that really him? He looks... different.”“Yeah, but armor doesn’t make a warrior. Let’s see how he fights.”Before anyone could dwell further, the sharp sound of a horn silenced the murmurs. A figure emerged onto the training platform—General Darius Kael, a commanding presence with a scar running down his cheek, a testament to countless battles. Known for his brutal training methods and his reputation as a fair but uny

    Calen stepped out from behind the cover of a barricade, his eyes locked on Evan. With a powerful burst of speed, he closed the distance, unleashing a fierce barrage of strikes. His sword danced in his hands, each swing filled with precision and strength. The force behind his blows made the air around them hum, forcing Evan to focus entirely on dodging.Evan, however, remained calm. He moved with practiced ease, his movements fluid and deliberate. Each attack Calen delivered was narrowly avoided, the blade missing him by inches. Evan smirked, his confidence building as he gradually gave ground, retreating further into the arena.Unbeknownst to Calen, Evan’s retreat was not random. He was leading Calen to a specific area of the arena—a section where the ground was lined with faintly glowing symbols. These symbols, part of an old military training mechanism, activated when pressure was applied, triggering a web of energy whips that lashed out violently at anything within range.Evan fina

  • The God of War Calen Storm   What Are You?

    Calen’s body seemed to pulse with an unearthly energy, arcs of electricity dancing along his arms and legs, crackling with raw power. His eyes glowed a piercing blue, filled with an intensity that sent shivers through the crowd. Even Evan, confident just moments ago, felt a pang of unease as he stared at the transformed Calen.“What… what are you?” Evan muttered under his breath, gripping his sword tightly.Calen advanced, his steps deliberate, the ground beneath him crackling faintly with each step. When he raised his sword, it seemed to hum with energy, its blade gleaming brighter than ever. With a sudden burst of speed, Calen launched himself at Evan, his strikes coming fast and powerful.Evan managed to parry, but the force behind each blow sent vibrations up his arms. Realizing he couldn’t outmatch Calen’s sheer power, he retreated, his mind racing for a plan. Then, he remembered—the underground trap. A cruel smile curled his lips as he ran, deliberately leading Calen toward the

  • The God of War Calen Storm   The Dinner

    Rumors spread like wildfire, and it wasn’t long before the Frost household was abuzz with whispers of the latest spectacle at the military training grounds. Lila sat stiffly in the sitting room, her hands clutching a teacup as her mind raced. The image of Calen—once dismissed as weak and unremarkable—standing victorious over Evan with power no one had expected haunted her. It wasn’t just the duel; it was the unanimous recognition from the military elites that had turned the tide of perception.“Lila, darling, this is becoming quite a problem,” Marylin said as she paced the room, her delicate face pinched with concern. “I never imagined Calen could rise this far. He was supposed to fade into obscurity, not outshine someone like Evan.”Lila put the cup down, her hands trembling slightly. “I… I don’t know what to think anymore, Mother. Evan was supposed to be my future, but now… Calen… He’s—” She hesitated, unsure how to express the storm of emotions inside her.“Enough of this nonsense!

  • The God of War Calen Storm   Postpone The Wedding

    The room fell silent, all eyes on Elijah. Reginald raised an eyebrow, curious but guarded. Helena’s smile faltered slightly, and Evan looked between the Frosts with mild apprehension.“What is it, Mr. Frost?” Reginald asked, his deep voice steady but edged with curiosity.Elijah exchanged a quick glance with Marylin before continuing. “As you’re aware, the recent training exercises have garnered significant attention, not just for our families but also among the public. While we remain deeply committed to the union of our families, Marylin and I believe it may be prudent to consider postponing the wedding.”The words hung in the air like a thunderclap. Evan’s face fell, his eyes darting to Lila, who looked down at her plate, avoiding his gaze. Helena stiffened, her expression unreadable, while Reginald leaned back slightly, his brow furrowing in thought.“Postpone?” Helena repeated, her voice calm but

  • The God of War Calen Storm   Big Mistake

    Elijah stammered, his usual composure cracking under the weight of Helena’s words. "I—Reginald, you must understand... your family’s support has been a lifeline for us. Without Reginald’s investment in our shipping enterprise last year, we would have..." He trailed off, unable to voice the catastrophic outcome that had nearly befallen them.The Frosts’ shipping business, a cornerstone of their wealth and influence, had been saved by the Drakes during a financial crisis that threatened to sink them entirely. Without that support, not only would they have faced ruin, but they would also owe debts they could never repay.Helena’s eyes glinted coldly, her tone sharp. "You would have lost everything, Elijah. And now, after all we’ve done, you think you can treat my son like some passing suitor? Delay his rightful place beside your daughter as though he hasn’t earned it?"Reginald added, his voice steady but firm, "Evan

  • The God of War Calen Storm   The Storm

    The night was dark, the moon veiled behind thick, rolling clouds. Calen walked slowly through the narrow, uneven path leading to the cemetery, his steps heavy with exhaustion and the lingering pain in his injured leg. Each step reminded him of the duel with Evan Drake and the price he’d paid to prove himself.He clutched the hilt of his sword tightly—not as a weapon, but as a crutch to steady himself. This sword, once his father’s, had become his constant companion, a symbol of his unspoken promise to honor the name "Storm."Reaching the cemetery gates, he pushed them open with a creak. The air was cold, laden with the scent of rain, and the surrounding silence was broken only by the rustle of leaves in the growing wind. Calen made his way to the gravestone marked with his father’s name, its surface weathered by time.He knelt down, placing a hand on the stone. His heart ached as he stared at it, a million emotions surging through him. For a long moment, he stayed silent, letting the

  • Calen’s Path

    Calen paced back and forth in the small, confining room until his legs grew heavy and his mind clouded with fatigue. Unable to bear the endless waiting and frustration any longer, he sat down on the cold, hard bed and leaned back against the wall. The oppressive silence of the room seemed to press on him from all sides, and eventually, his eyes grew heavy. Despite his best efforts to stay alert, sleep claimed him.Calen found himself standing in a vast, golden field. The wind was warm, carrying with it a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in years. The sky above was a brilliant mix of oranges and purples, the colors of a setting sun. He looked down at himself and realized he was no longer in the restrictive room of the Tower of Light; he was free, dressed in simple yet regal attire that felt oddly familiar.In the distance, a lone figure approached. The man’s steps were steady, his posture tall and commanding. His face was weathered but kind, his silver hair glinting in the light of the se

  • The Rumors

    Calen stood in the center of the room, his stormy gray eyes scanning his surroundings. The room was eerily quiet, save for the faint hum of energy emanating from the holy symbols etched into the walls. The furnishings were sparse but pristine: a single bed with crisp white sheets, a polished wooden chair, and a doorway leading to a small private bathroom. It felt like a gilded prison—luxurious but suffocating.As the heavy door shut behind him with a resounding click, he turned toward the small window cut into the door. “When will the ritual tests begin?” he demanded, his voice sharp with barely restrained anger.A priest on the other side, his face obscured by the shadow of his hood, responded in a monotone. “The time will come when the gods deem it so. Until then, remain here. And do not attempt anything foolish. This chamber is sanctified. No power, dark or otherwise, will function within these walls.”Calen clenched his jaw as the priest walked away, leaving him alone in the silen

  • The High Priest

    The sun was setting as Calen returned to his quarters, his body aching from the day's grueling military training. However, his steps slowed as he noticed a group of men standing in front of his door. They wore simple yet distinctive robes, bearing the insignia of the temple—an intricate symbol of a sun rising over an open book.One of them, a tall man with a stern face, stepped forward. “Calen Storm, you are summoned by High Priest Eldric Azrael. He awaits you in the Tower of Light.”Calen’s brows furrowed in confusion. “What does he want with me? Has something happened?”The men exchanged glances but remained silent. “We are only here to escort you. Please follow us.”Realizing that pressing them for answers was futile, Calen nodded. He climbed into the ornate carriage waiting nearby, its polished black frame adorned with silver detailing. The ride was silent, save for the clatter of hooves against the cobblestone roads as they headed toward the easternmost part of the palace complex

  • Perfect Match

    The morning sun hung high in the sky as Calen stepped into the military training grounds, his usual quiet determination etched on his face. Yet, something felt different. The air was heavy with whispers, and the soldiers who once sparred or trained alongside him now kept their distance, throwing furtive glances his way."Is it true?" one soldier murmured to another."They say he dabbled in dark magic," came the hushed reply."But he defeated Evan. How could someone like that need dark magic?""That’s precisely why. No one gets that strong overnight unless there's something unnatural about it."Calen ignored the stares and whispers, his expression calm but his jaw clenched. He knew rumors were spreading, but he had no time for petty gossip. The military exams were only two days away, and he needed to focus. If he failed here, everything he had worked for would be in vain.He picked up his practice sword and began his drills, his movements sharp and precise. Sweat dripped from his brow

  • Dark Magic

    Calen’s fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his body began to emit faint sparks of electricity that crackled and danced across his skin. The static energy intensified, and within moments, arcs of lightning coursed around him, illuminating his soaked figure with an almost divine brilliance.The air grew heavy, charged with an ominous electricity, and the sky outside the hall darkened unnaturally fast. A deep rumble of thunder echoed, causing the walls to tremble slightly. Soldiers who had been mocking him moments ago froze in place, their faces turning pale as they exchanged nervous glances.“What’s happening?” someone whispered.“It’s him,” another said, trembling. “It’s Storm. He’s—he’s doing this.”Evan’s smirk faltered, his expression shifting from arrogance to unease. He took a step back, his hand instinctively moving to the hilt of his sword. The other soldiers who had joined in his mockery began retreating, their confidence crumbling under the sheer for

  • Cat Got Your Tongue?

    Astra stood motionless as Calen walked away, his figure disappearing into the distance. Her heart thudded in her chest, a mix of gratitude, admiration, and something she dared not name. Despite his cold demeanor, the memory of him standing up for her filled her with a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time.She quickly averted her gaze, chastising herself silently. No, Astra. You can't think like this. He's far above your station—untouchable. But no matter how much she told herself to ignore it, the image of Calen’s unwavering expression lingered in her mind.Meanwhile, at the military camp, Calen returned to the camp, his coat draped over his arm. His steps were steady, and his face betrayed no emotion, but his presence carried an undeniable authority. Whispers had already spread among the soldiers about the spectacle in the Frost courtyard.“Did you hear what happened?”“Calen Storm stood up to Lady Lila herself!”“They say he defied her in front of the entire household!”Calen ignor

  • Humiliate Her

    The scorching midday sun bore down on the courtyard as the servants gathered, whispering amongst themselves. The air buzzed with gossip and speculation, their eyes darting toward Astra, whose hands were bound, dressed in a plain white prison uniform. Her face was pale, her head bowed, as the murmurs around her grew louder."She’s only been here a few days," one servant whispered. "Do you really think she’d risk breaking the rules so soon?""Maybe she’s not as innocent as she looks," another scoffed. "Who knows what she’s been up to with the military men?""And the rumors say it’s someone important," someone else chimed in. "But he’s not here. Figures. Probably ashamed of being caught."Astra stood silently in the center of the gathering, trembling but saying nothing. Her wrists burned where the rough rope chafed against her skin. The executioner, a burly man holding a long whip, awaited the signal to begin.Under a shaded pavilion, Lila Frost sat elegantly, a parasol shielding her fro

  • Divorce?

    Astra froze, her heart pounding as she stood in the shadow of Lila’s fury. She had barely been in the Frost household for a day, and now she found herself at the center of a storm she didn’t understand."N-Nona, I swear, I only met him earlier today!" Astra stammered, clutching her hands tightly in front of her.Lila stepped closer, her eyes sharp and accusing. "Don’t lie to me, Astra. A servant doesn’t just meet Calen Storm and end up with his coat. What were you doing with him? What’s your connection?"Astra shook her head vehemently, her voice trembling. "I’m telling the truth, My Lady! I went to the wrong bathhouse by mistake, and he was there. I was... I didn’t have proper clothes, and he lent me his coat. That’s all!"Lila’s expression hardened, disbelief etched on her face. "You expect me to believe that? A mistake in the bathhouse, and he just gave you his coat? Do you think I’m a fool?"Tears pricked Astra’s eyes. She dropped to her knees, bowing her head low in desperation.

  • Enough!

    Calen finished dressing and walked out of the military bathhouse, his steps steady and purposeful as his thoughts remained elsewhere—on the storm, his newfound power, and what it meant for his future.Meanwhile, the servant woman from earlier quickly exited the military bathhouse as well, clutching Calen’s oversized coat around her shoulders. She headed toward the correct servants’ bathhouse, her face still flushed with embarrassment. As she approached, she encountered a young soldier who appeared to be on cleaning duty near the servants’ quarters."Excuse me," she said, stopping him. "That man back there in the bathhouse... who is he?"The soldier raised an eyebrow, surprised by her ignorance. "You mean you don’t know? That’s Calen Storm. The son of Aldric Storm."Her eyes widened. "Calen Storm? I’ve heard that name before.""Everyone has," the soldier replied with a mix of admiration and gossiping glee. "He’s been the talk of the barracks—and the entire court—lately. Did you know he
