Waking Lily
A fair warning to you guys~ This is a Boy's Love Novel involving some LGBTQ+ themes and includes some explicit scenes and gore, so kindly read at your own discretion.
Hidden in a faraway island, a little boy sneaks away from his village at night to mingle with the magical spirits of the forest. Away from the noisy hustle and bustle of the people, the other children, and his sister's nagging, he found peace, tenderly speaking with nature's soul. Despite its flaws, it would be better if life were like this forever…
Unfortunately, fate seemed to enjoy playing with him. Once he was enjoying the peaceful offerings of his island, and the next thing he was standing on an elegant marble platform before thousands of kneeling worshippers.
Kaelan wore a stiff smile as loyal clerics tried to fix his jeweled circlet. 'How did it come to this???'
…..
The Shade loomed over the lands and seas, corrupting every essence of life. For centuries, every god's champion fought to overthrow the plague of evil, yet none had succeeded. The number of champions dwindled to five, belonging to the most powerful Gods in Arkoah: Gallio, Innesa, Sendreia, Maakon, and the weakened God, Soriem…
Intelligent, brave, strong, beautiful, and brimming with divine blessing. They are the perfect heroes to lead the battle against the Shade.
But after several years of failure, most have lost faith in the champions.
However, this time it was different. Soriem's champion, whom everyone thought would no longer reincarnate, revealed himself. A scrawny boy with fearful sapphire eyes, hiding under tree roots.
The Clerics: It's just a beetle! Come down from the tree!
The Knights: Skipping training again… well, those arms can't even lift a stick.
The Champions: Dear… It's a comb, not a fork.
Kaelan clenched his jaw as he complained to the land's spirits in his bedroom. As composed as he was outside, he was an internally fretful child.
A certain champion sat on a tree branch, peeking at the cold-looking boy speaking to nobody.
Magnus wore a smile in his eyes: Though a little crazy… he's as divine as the moon and pretty as a lily.
.....
Once upon a time, a little flower was reborn and met four children, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Each one, hurt and burdened with destiny. It is up to the little flower to mend their torn hearts and grow to become the greatest heroes in the land.
