In a bold endeavor to unravel the mysteries of the soul, the Solar System Alliance clandestinely established an organization of brilliance known as the Apocalypse Youth Class. This elite assembly drew together the most gifted young individuals from across the four federations of the solar system. However, their pursuit of knowledge was marred by a catastrophic incident that resulted in numerous casualties. The prime culprit was imprisoned, leading to the dissolution of the youth class and the sealing of their records, henceforth becoming a forbidden chapter in history. Five years later, the Tianjing Mech Academy for Mecha Warfare, having faced disappointment in the inter-solar system mecha competition, fortuitously welcomed the top student from the Asian district's mecha preparatory class, Tong Shen, heralding a period of rejuvenation. Yet, this was merely the beginning of a series of inexplicable events, with the epicenter surprisingly being an obscure second-year student. Mecha, the ultimate romance of man.

Dans une audacieuse entreprise pour percer les mystères de l’âme, l’Alliance du Système Solaire établit clandestinement une organisation d’éclat connue sous le nom de Classe Jeunesse de l'Apocalypse.

——What defines a satisfying novel? ——Revenge, face-slapping, group pampering, strong acting weak... and so on and so forth, not a single element can be missing! ******** Reborn into a new life, Ivy Holden has only two goals: First, to send all those who harmed her to hell. Second, to pamper those who love her to the heavens. As for Jensen Morrison... Since the fans all say he's her fated one, she'll just have to take him.... ******** A certain Queen of Pop music, gritting her teeth: "Ivy Holden, you're a screenwriter! Can't you just write your scripts properly? You just grab the mic and start singing at the drop of a hat, taking my job. This is too much?!!"

(WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!!!) "You're going to be the death of me Aurelia." He muttered to her. "Valerian pls...am tired. You need to calm yourself." For heavens sake, he just made her have three orgasms while sore from the previous night. And he's seriously not trying to make her have the fourth one...is he? Breathing hardly now, his eyes locked on her lips. "You know that this one is your fault." "My fault?" She asked in shock. "What did I even do?" "You seduced me." He said and Aurelia was stunned speechless. With an erotic deep sound, valerian quickly descended his head as his mouth devoured hers with renewed vigour and primal hunger. It was as if he were so starved for her taste and was ravenous for her again. ****** In a land divided by elements and ruled by powerful lords blessed by ancient gods- Ignarion- god of fire. Vireon -god of storms. Caelion- god of wind. Neryth-goddess of ice and water. And Thalor- god of earth. Every alliance forged and every oath sworn carries the weight of divine power... and ancient prophecy. For centuries, each lord has coveted more power, more dominion, and more control. One spark is all it takes to ignite war. Born of fire, Aurelia Flameborne was once the pride and beloved daughter of Ashmere. A beautiful warrior princess, destined for greatness and betrothed to Neris Winterbourne, the cold and noble Lord of Winter. All of that shatters the day the witch Ishara curses her. After the devastating War of Ashmere, Her face becomes scarred, her magic fractures, and her family locks her away in the tallest tower, too ashamed to let the world see what she has become. Even her fiancé, the Lord of Winter, abandons her for another. But destiny refuses to let her fade. When whispers from the North threaten to end her engagement, Aurelia's heart shatters. But before her world crumbles completely, a storm rises. Valerian Stormborne, the ambitious and enigmatic Lord of Thunder, steps forward to claim her. Now bound to a tempest, Aurelia finds herself caught in a whirlwind of betrayal, political games, and the unexpected warmth of love from her tempestuous husband… and her husband's son who calls her mother. But beneath the surface of mortal schemes, the gods begin to stir. Buried deep in the ashes of Caelmont lies an ancient prophecy: A child blessed by all five gods, born of powers that should never mix, will either unite the fractured realms… or bring about their ruin. Now, every Lord wants that child. Every kingdom seeks to control fate. But the gods? They have plans of their own. Now Aurelia stands at the center of obsession and war. The Lord of Winter who rejected her wants her back. The Lord of Wind hides desire behind a cunning smile. Her sister, plots from the shadows. And Valerian, the man who swore she'd "never be a wife," to him begins to burn for her with a passion he cannot control. Caught between storms, gods, and a love that could destroy kingdoms, Aurelia must rise—or the realms will fall.

An orphan islander, who nearly became a victim of mindless witch hunting, gets a rare opportunity to enroll in the Academy, the bastion of human knowledge. Krito will find himself unwittingly become a central piece in the obscure plots that waited for the necessary push in all those countless years. Will Krito and his new friends survive through the upcoming storm or succumb to it? And what’s the deal with the so-called summoners, dragons, demons, necromancy and various alien abominations? Only one way to find out. TL note: This is probably the first fantasy novel that I've read, and it is in Russian language lol. Probably more than ten years past the last time I opened this book. The naming is a bit weird in this novel, like a mix of medieval German, Nordic, Japanese, Tolkienesque, and vaguely Russian, but the story is very creative and the arc endings absolutely bust a fat nutt. If you want to read in the original language, you can search for "Сердце Бури" in conjunction with the author's name "Петр Николаевич Науменко". P.S. If you find some inconsistencies, or feel like the story is jumping in some places, please let me know where. Thank you!
