Love and Hardships

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?

If you were given the chance to return to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen and stop that old menace before tragedy struck, would you take it? Eichi would. Through an unexpected twist of time and space, Eichi was sent back and obtained the Ten Shadows Technique along with the power to summon Heroic Spirits, abilities he had only ever dreamed of. In this life, Eichi refused to live as an ordinary person. In this life, he chose madness. After all, if every sorcerer is a little insane, what harm is there in having one more? "Take this Wild Rose. It is a new cursed tool I made just for you." "What? That is a gun. My technique will not work with something like that." "Who says it will not?" he replied calmly. "See? This is the hammer. And this is the nail." As he spoke, Eichi placed the bullet into the hand of Nobara Kugisaki, whose eye twitched uncontrollably. "This world of jujutsu is rotten to the core," he said. "And now it is time to change it." Yet as Eichi pushed forward toward what he believed would be a happy ending, he slowly realized something unsettling. When everything was finally over, he and his companions arrived at the Eternal Throne one after another. ---------------------- Advanced chapters at p@treon

In a world where light and shadow were once one, the ancient prophecy of the Eclipsed Sovereign foretells the return of balance — one being who will bear both crowns of Luminar and Umbrael. Born beneath a total eclipse, Stellan Adrian is that child. From his first breath, the cosmos itself bends toward him. Flowers bloom at his touch. Stones orbit him in reverence. The very fabric of reality whispers his name. He never asked for this power, nor the destiny that comes with it. His childhood friend, Ren Samael, was supposed to stand beside him. Instead, Ren watches as the world hands Stellan miracles while forcing him to claw and bleed for every scrap of strength. As Stellan's powers awaken with effortless grace, Ren's own abilities manifest through rage, defiance, and a growing shadow that answers only to his will. What begins as jealousy slowly poisons Ren’s soul. The boy who once raced through village streets with his friend becomes something far darker — a rival willing to tear destiny apart rather than live in its shadow. Consumed by envy, Ren sabotages the very prophecy he was meant to share, ensuring that if he cannot claim the Sovereign’s power, then no one will. As hunters like the ancient devourer Nyxara, the rigid Church of Ordered Light, and unseen cosmic forces close in, Stellan must navigate a world that both worships and fears him. With his loyal anchor Lyra by his side and a mysterious Seeker as guide, he races to understand his connection to the primordial Black Hole at the heart of creation. But the greatest threat may not come from gods or monsters. It may come from the friend who now walks willingly into darkness — determined to become the villain the prophecy never warned about. In a tale of cosmic fate, fractured friendship, and the devastating cost of envy, two boys bound by prophecy will either restore balance to the universe… or destroy it in their rivalry. Eclipsed Sovereign — where one rises through light, and the other falls gloriously into shadow.
