scorn story

The Sun has gone mad, scorching the surface and rendering it uninhabitable. Humanity was forced into the guts of the Earth, carving out their little island of light to keep Scorn and Entropy at bay. Elion was one of those humans, living in the city of Mirth—a history student infatuated with the Third Age. Unfortunately, his destiny was never to live a peaceful life among old books and ancient scriptures. Since birth, he was sentenced to become Unlocked: a being capable of transcending what ordinary humans could achieve. But, as my good buddy Uncle Ben once said: “With great power comes great responsibility.” That quote lingers in the divine conflict between the Gods and their primordial enemy—a conflict that, whether he wanted it or not, Elion was thrust into. Spoiler: he didn’t want it. Either way, gods rarely ask for permission. There will be tears. There will be love. And there will be everything in between. So with that, I welcome thee into the dark reality of Scorn—and bid you the greatest of reads.

The story takes place in the Nine Heavens Realm, a vast world filled with sects, ancient clans, and powerful cultivators. The realm is divided into Lower, Middle, and Upper Heavens, each with its own hierarchy of power. The protagonist starts in the Lower Heavens, where he is mocked and bullied for his ugliness, but through his journey, he ascends to the highest levels of power. --- Main Character Name: Luo Feng Appearance: Luo Feng is born with a hideous appearance—his face is scarred, his body is deformed, and he is often compared to a "monster" or "beast." His ugliness is so extreme that even his family shuns him. Personality: Despite his appearance, Luo Feng is kind-hearted, intelligent, and resilient. He has a strong will to prove himself and refuses to let his looks define his worth. "Cultivation Talent": Luo Feng possesses a unique cultivation talent that no one recognizes at first. His body, though ugly, is a rare vessel for an ancient, forgotten cultivation technique called the "Celestial Asura Scripture". This technique allows him to absorb energy from pain, suffering, and rejection, making him stronger with every hardship he endures. --- Cultivation System: The cultivation system is divided into Realms and Stages, with each realm requiring immense effort and breakthroughs. Luo Feng’s cultivation path is unique because his ugliness and suffering become the source of his power. 1. Mortal Realm - Qi Gathering - Body Refinement - Foundation Establishment 2. Earthly Realm - Core Formation - Nascent Soul - Soul Transformation 3. Heavenly Realm - Void Refinement - Dao Seeking - Immortal Ascension 4. Celestial Realm (Luo Feng’s ultimate goal) - Celestial Sovereign - Asura Emperor - Eternal Ascendant

Everyone in the Blackwood Pack knew I was the most pathetic Luna in the werewolf world. For love, I had sacrificed my pride as a mate and the primal instincts of my inner wolf.

What no one knew was my secret: I'm lithromantic. And when he finally offered his affection, all I could do was gently push him away. "I can love you, but you can't love me."

A hundred years ago, the sun’s flames crept hotter and brighter until daylight became a furnace—mankind retreated into the night, and the world was claimed by shadow. In the silence of moonlit streets, water became worship, and three mighty prophets—Children of the Sun, Moon, and Stars—rose from ash to rule with fire-forged faith. No one knows if the Scorch was divine wrath or a cosmic accident, but for a century the faithful have burned heretics, torn nations apart, and lived by ritual “Purification” to prove their worth. Now, sixteen-year-old Ádin survives in a hidden bunker, trading scraps for scraps and precious drops of water. Marked by secret scars that only glow under his skin he lives with Fletcher, his mute golden retriever, and clings to the cryptic lullaby his grandmother left him. Out in the ruins roams Salvator Morgan, a man whose ageless eyes have seen the fall of empires and who whispers rumors of a “true child of prophecy.” When Ádin discovers the first fragment of a hidden map— he realizes he may hold the key to a long-lost salvation. But every step toward the truth draws the attention of the Children of the Stars, a fanatical cult whose young prophet will stop at nothing to claim destiny for himself. As the moon circles high and the ashes swirl, Ádin must decide: cling to everything he’s known, or embrace a perilous path that could either resurrect humanity… or consume him in the flames of betrayal. In a world where water is worship and every lie is branded in blood, survival means choosing whom to trust—and what you’re willing to burn.
