Tale of Four

Veston stands divided, the Great Lords all vying for the Throne, slowly tearing apart a realm that has never known true peace. During this time, four people, all born seventeen years ago, all move forward, with a command they heard before their birth, already deciding their fate. Tristan Cosmaton, a princeling of the Cosmaton dynasty, resides at the Everlight Palace, a place where everything is a performance. After the late King's death, the realm elects a new ruler, fearing the civil war that could erupt under normal succession rules. After seventeen years of blending into the background, with the sole goal of survival, Tristan finally decided to step out of the shadows, not through ambition but a belief that it was the next step for what he had always done. After seventeen years, Alice is finally granted the title Magi and is given the freedom she has always craved to explore the Mad House and learn the horrors and wonders that exist beyond the doors that line the magical tower. Charging ahead, she slowly delves deeper into the world's history and forbidden truths, pursuing the goal she doesn't truly understand the cost of. Isis journeys through the nine realms of Veston and beyond, chronicling the world's stories, from the mundane to the exotic. For her, the world is one big story; everything worthwhile has its own novelty and beauty. With a command from before birth, she dismisses, Isis stumbles forward, filling her endless diary, inching ever closer to the inevitable choice she must make. With one prophecy before birth, 'Defend the Dove of Salvation, ' Oliver rises from a Lordless Knight, searching for a liege he doesn't know to become the greatest sword in the realm. Oliver tries to navigate a world that tramples over the ideals of Chivalry, experiencing a world he despises for the sole goal of finding the one he must protect. ----------------------- Other than the first short arc, which introduced all the characters at once, each one will separate each person's stories unless they meet or are within close proximity to one another. ----------- Cover art will be commissioned once I have money to do so and depending on if I feel like it is worthwhile to continue this novel.

Blade Over Magic

Xander was hailed as The Swordmaster on earth. When it came to blades, he held no equal. It didn't mater what category or how experienced his opponent was. He was just better, and none could deny it. Yet all it took was a bullet to end his life. All that hard work, all that talent. All of it gone because of an idiot with a gun. So Xander was naturally indignant against the reality of it. What was the point, then? What was the purpose of achieving such mastery if his life could be snuffed out so easily? His final thoughts were filled with resentment and regret. And so he closed his eyes. Only to reopen them again. But not in a hospital. But in an entirely new world, filled with magic and mages. Xander thought that in a place like this, his dream of making swordplay relevant would be possible. But he was dismayed to learn that not only had the body he transmigrated to been incredibly weak and untalented, but the act of swordfighting was heavily looked down upon. Made obsolete by mages who chanted powerful spells and unleashed them from a distance Yet on the verge of losing hope, he discovered something. This world, it's understanding of swordfighting wasn't just rudimentary. It was PATHETIC! Elite knights only knew how to swing harder and faster! There was no technique! No order! Offended, Xander made to use a blade. Even if the path was dead, he would not allow something so sacred to him be insulted so thoroughly. However, in the throes of his swordplay, he made a discovery, one that would shake the very foundations of the world as everyone knew it. Swordfighting wasn't obsolete. No, it was simply unexplored! And Xander, with his adequate knowledge on how to wield a blade realized... "The usage of swords with proper technique, is a form of magic in itself." And so begins the story of a man who decided to turn the entire world of magic on its head, with a Blade.
