Synopsis

Sunroot tells the story of a young man caught between the light of his father’s legacy and the darkness that has overtaken his former friends. Set in a vibrant and whimsical dark fantasy world brimming with extraordinary creatures and powerful forces, the story follows Orin, a boy born with a deep connection to nature, drawing strength from the sun and commanding the growth of plants. At a young age, Orin was kidnapped by a sinister organization known as The Veil, a secretive force that abducts children with unique powers and molds them into weapons for its own mysterious purposes. Orin’s father, Lucian, a legendary hero revered for his heroism and power, has spent years searching for his son, liberating countless children from the clutches of The Veil. But the damage wrought by the organization runs deep—many of the children, once freed, have become corrupted by the horrors they endured. They now roam the world, causing chaos and destruction, without the control that The Veil had once forced upon them. When Lucian finally reunites with Orin, it is clear that his son is no longer the innocent child he remembers. Orin, now a young man, has endured unimaginable trials and witnessed the fall of his friends into darkness. His heart aches not just for his own freedom, but for the redemption of those who have lost their way. Despite his kind and pacifistic nature, Orin takes it upon himself to stop his former comrades, torn between his duty to the world and his desire to save those who have become monsters. As Orin’s journey unfolds, he struggles with the weight of the world on his shoulders. The powers he once thought of as gifts now feel like burdens. His ability to command the natural world is incredible, but it serves as a constant reminder of what he has lost. His connection to the earth, though strong, is not enough to guide him through the moral dilemmas he faces: can his friends truly be saved, or is their redemption beyond his reach? Should he follow in his father’s footsteps as a hero, or carve his own path, uncertain and uncharted? Meanwhile, Lucian, whose powers are fading, must come to terms with the fact that his time as a hero may be coming to an end. He has long hoped that Orin would succeed him as a beacon of hope and light for the world, but he is unsure if his son is ready to bear such a heavy responsibility. Lucian’s faith in his son is unshakable, but he cannot help but fear the outcome of the battles that lie ahead, battles not just of blades and magic, but of the heart and the soul. At its core, Sunroot is a tale of growth, redemption, and the enduring power of hope. Orin’s journey will take him across vast landscapes, from lush forests bathed in water like sunlight to darkened lands ravaged by the remnants of The Veil. Along the way, he will face powerful enemies, haunting memories, and impossible choices. Sunroot is a deeply emotional, imagery rich fantasy that explores themes of loss, healing, and the delicate balance of light and dark. As Orin’s path unfolds, readers will be drawn into a world where the forces of nature themselves come to life, where the line between friend and foe is blurred, and where the greatest battles are not fought with weapons, but in the mind.

Please enjoy my tale of tragedy and redemption.

Chapter 11: Changing Skies

A warm sun kissed Orin's face as he raced through the wood surrounding his father's tower. The forest, which might have been eerie in its stillness, was alive with the sound of the child's laughter. The trees stood tall and proud, their leaves shimmering and dancing in the cool breeze, casting playful shadows on the ground. It was almost as if the trees themselves were playing along with Orin, and perhaps they were.

In the distance, the tower stood tall, and his father watched from its base, surrounded by wildflowers—vibrant blues, golds, purples, and so many other hues that listing them all would take too long. As Orin ran with his friends, his footsteps were nearly silent, unlike the normal sounds of children running through a woodland. One might almost think that the grass itself had chosen a favorite in this boy.

"Do the thing!" one of the children shouted.

"Fine, but this is the last time!" Orin replied, kneeling down and holding his hands carefully toward a rose bush. He was mindful not to be pricked by the thorns, as one should always be when dealing with such plants. Suddenly, the bush burst into a vibrant bloom, deep red petals unfurling all at once.

"Woah!" the other children exclaimed in awe.

"Catch me if you can!" Orin called as he took off running, deeper into the wood, his friends chasing after him. The sun bathed him once again, and this time Orin felt stronger, lighter. He moved so quickly that before he realized it, the tower was no longer in sight.

As he paused, gazing back in the direction he had come, a strange sensation crept over him. The energy that had filled him moments ago drained away just as suddenly. The sky darkened, turning gray as rain began to pour. Thunder rumbled through the earth, and flashes of lightning lit up the sky.

Behind him, Orin heard the sound of ripping grass. He turned, his heart racing. Two figures stood there—one large and imposing, exuding a terrifying aura, and the other smaller, almost sickly, with tangled, wiry white hair that gave them a ghostly, haunting presence. A wave of dread washed over him, every instinct screaming at him to run, to flee as fast as he could. He tripped over a root, a Sunroot. The figures approached menacingly. The grass wrapped around their feet to try and stop them, only to be ripped from the ground.

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
