The Silent Chord: A Mythic Awakening

Exile0001
In a world where strength isn’t decided by muscles or magic… but by how well you can sing, humanity survives on borrowed time. After the apocalypse, Earth was overrun by nightmarish creatures from the abyss, beings capable of wiping out entire cities overnight. Just when extinction seemed inevitable, humanity heard it. The Song. A mysterious, cosmic melody that awakens supernatural abilities within those who can resonate with it. The stronger your voice, the greater your power. Heroes rose, legends were born… and humanity began to fight back. But not everyone is chosen. Elias Verdan was painfully ordinary. Born in a forgotten town, Elias had no talent, no voice… and no chance of ever becoming Awakened. In the endless war against the abyss, he wasn’t even worthy of becoming cannon fodder. Until the day everything changed. When his town was attacked, Elias could only watch as the creatures corrupted his family before his eyes, too powerless to fight back. And in that moment… something inside him finally snapped. So what happens when a boy with nothing left to lose encounters a Primordial god willing to grant him everything he desires… In exchange for an insane wish? *** SYSTEM MESSAGE [Rejoice, fortunate one. The Song has recognized you as one of its own.] [Initializing…] [Synchronization in progress… 40%… 80%… Complete.] [Class: Silent Chord] [Class Rank: Mythic] *** “Master! Emergency! A Grade-9 Humming Bird has appeared in a town twenty degrees northeast of the capital! Every Hero sent to stop it has been wiped out!” “…Oh?” Elias slowly stood up and stretched. “Ella,” he said lazily. “Start the fire.” A faint smile appeared on his face. “I think dinner just arrived.”

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.
