thestrongactingweak

The world ended, cities burned, kingdoms collapsed, and the legendary heroes who were supposed to save humanity… all died. Lucien Vale a powerless professor who could only watch his students fall one by one...died with them. Yet when Lucien opened his eyes again, he had returned twenty years into the past. Back to the day he's still a professor at the Royal Magic Academy. This time, Lucien knows everything. The disasters that will come. The traitors hiding in the kingdom. The students who will one day become legends. But Lucien has no intention of repeating the same future. He will personally train the strongest generation in history. Secretly recruit geniuses no one notices. Guide the future heroes before they rise. And build a force powerful enough to challenge fate itself. The world may see him as a weak professor… But behind the scenes, Lucien Vale is creating the strongest generation the world has ever seen.

In a world where everyone strives to rewrite fate as they see fit, those who dare to challenge the very fabric of reality awaken. They know no fear, for fear is the fate of the weak. They know no pity, for pity is a sign of weakness. Ancient powers awaken in those willing to pay any price for power over the world. Each sees the truth in their own way, and each is ready to destroy everything that contradicts their vision. A fire burns in their hearts, capable of melting even the strongest bonds of the universe. Wars do not begin on battlefields—they begin in the minds of those who thirst for change. And when many paths converge, when impossible dreams and unwavering will collide, the world will change forever. But at what cost? There are no rules in this game—there are only the laws of force. There is no good and evil—there is only the desire for power. And when the last stone falls, when the last spark of energy fades, only one will remain—the one who will bring their vision of a "Better World" to life. But remember: in a world where everyone strives for perfection, there is no room for compromise. And whoever survives this battle for the future will write new laws of existence with the blood of their enemies. Author's Greetings Greetings to all readers!

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. Humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air, as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power. No future. Tyler was born into that world—a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon— not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend as the Demon King. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/4xbt5Nwrtn *** #Yandere #ComplexCharacters #NoHarem #Dark #RareBloodline #Magic #Slowburn #FatedLove #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #RunicSorcery #Evil-FL

Echinacea Roaz was once the delicate daughter of a count - graceful, beautiful, and utterly ordinary. Until she touched the cursed sword Valdergiosa. The blade stole her body, turned her into a slaughtering demon, and forced her hands to spill the blood of everyone she loved: her family, her friends, her home. Worst of all, it made her kill the one man who ever believed in her - the silver-haired commander Yurien de Harden Kyrie, who saw the real woman trapped inside the monster and gave her a chance she couldn't take. She broke free too late. Nothing remained but ashes and regret. At twenty-six, in a ruined village soaked in blood, she finally shattered the curse's hold, only to learn the truth from the now-conscious blade: time could be reversed. Collect the ten human-forged Giosa swords, claim the divine Kairosgiosa, and rewrite everything. Fifteen years of nightmare later, she succeeds. She awakens at twenty, back in her soft bed, long pink hair untouched by scars, family alive and breathing. The black mark on her palm remains, Valdergiosa still bound to her soul-but this time, she knows what's coming. No more puppets. No more blood on innocent hands. Echi hides the curse, forges a mana core in secret, and heads straight for Azenka Military Academy-the path to becoming a Celestial Knight, entering the Giosa Hall, and sealing the wretched sword forever. She'll train in extravagant gowns and high heels, shatter every record as the "fussy noble genius," build true bonds with friends, and-against all odds-cross paths again with Yurien. This time, she won't fail him. This time, she'll protect everyone she once destroyed. But the sword whispers. Conspiracies stir in the shadows. The past isn't so easily erased. Can a flower once stained in blood bloom into something unbreakable? Or will the curse drag her back into darkness? A tale of regression, redemption, forbidden power, and a love that defies two lifetimes. Petals hide steel. And steel can cut fate itself. What happens when the cursed blade's master chooses happiness over slaughter? ------------------ Original Title: The Flower with a Sword Author: Eun So-ro Translated by Nyx Virelune
