survival

"You are no longer one of us. Leave this kingdom and never return!" The Elf Council's declaration rang through the sacred grove as Princess Ella watched her silver hair turn midnight black, her luminous skin marred with shadow veins. As the beloved Crown Princess of the Luminara Elf Tribe, Ella had everything—beauty, power, and a country that adored her. But one forbidden touch of the old Shadowthorn Tree has transformed her into an abomination: a half-human, half-shadow creature her people call a "Shadow Elf." Stripped of her natural magic and cast out by those she loved most, Ella faces certain death in the wilderness. When the rebellious wizard Raine finds her dying in the forest, he sees something familiar in her cursed state—the same darkness that courses through his own forbidden magic. Exiled from the Wizard Guild for performing dark arts, Raine has lived in isolation for years, until Ella's elven blood proves to be the one thing that can stabilize his volatile spells. Their solution? A dangerous pact: his dark magic will silence her curse, while her elven essence will anchor his power. But magic always asks a price. Together, they must cross deadly swamps and scale treacherous mountains in search of the legendary Moonlight Crystal—the only artifact that can break Ella's curse. Hunted by expert elf assassins sent to eliminate the "corrupted princess" and dark wizards who want to harvest her cursed power, Ella and Raine discover that survival means trusting the very person they were taught to fear. As their magical bond grows into something neither expected, Ella must choose: reclaim her place in a country that rejected her, or forge a new destiny with the dark wizard who saw her worth when no one else would. Sometimes the greatest magic isn't found in light or darkness—but in the shadows between.

Different soul and Different Rudues that's an old story. This one is Different soul, Different circumstances, Different characters and different writing style. Just enjoy this story while I'm trying to fix mistakes, plot and loop holes in the original story and taking ideas from other authors to make perfect story This Rudues will change the timeline don't except copy, paste of the original. But the fixed points can't be changed this Rudues will be well balanced MC. But not a weak one too. Also this Rudues far from being perverted but still he got Greyrat genes so he will almost have normal childhood but.... This Rudues had accepted himself as Rudues greyrat so let's see what will happen in the story. English is my second language, so take it easy on me on grammar mistakes. Well this story is slow paced with many slice of life scenes and will be advancing slowly because I'm not 100% free to write. If any good author would like to hear the full story and take it feel free but dm me to understand how it is going. Also obviously I don't own the story I'm just a nerd fan who loves to fix loop and plot holes in the stories, if anything I recommend you to read the original story from (rifujin na maganote) of course if you are over 18 and prepared to read an amazing story.

Himmel was born as a Dark Orc a powerful sub species, rare and mysterious. His family praised him and gave him gifts, one of those gifts was a powerful heirloom that would've made him stronger than even the king. When all things seemed to go well a mysterious figure stole the item in the middle of the night. Himmel was banished and left for dead, now he travels searching for power, revenge. Outside of the plot, I wanted to write this because 1 it was homebrew dnd campaign I played in. 2 the character has no isekai, no power system unique to him, the only thing special about him is his blood. He's a dark orc, and its not that advantageous, to put it in perspective, in the dnd campaign it just lets him roll advantage when using curses and gain +1 strength to his stat for every action done in combat. It maxes out the same like any other character all of it. So, yeah. Its a story where my mc simply isn't op. He has to use his brain and hardwork to win, when those dont work he'll rely on luck.
