Seventh Son: Rulers of Ruin

At sixteen, Eldric Stormwatch felt like life was giving him a raw deal – a poor kid grappling with the daily struggles of slum life. Being born with a weaker disposition, his childhood dream of attaining power had gradually dimmed. However, Eldric wasn't one to throw in the towel; instead, he embraced the unpredictable nature of life, determined to come out on top. Not blessed with looks, strength, or a particularly kind nature, Eldric was more on the unlucky, weak, and somewhat mean side. Morality wasn't exactly his strong suit; it was more like a faint line on water, barely noticeable. Now, armed with a newfound mission and an unexpected opportunity, Eldric, though plagued by guilt, is ready to shake up the world he's been confined to. It's time for him to rewrite the rules and leave his mark on a society defined by class distinctions. ... If you're into overpowered heroes and quick wins, this ain't for you. It's about manipulation, obsession, deceit, and a whole lot of cruelty. You might not even like the main guy, so watch out before diving in. Also read at least up to 6th chapter before dropping it.

Monster of the Sea (5)

Climbing the icy path with quick moves and sheer will, the spear guy made his way up, getting nearer to the huge Kraken. The giant sea creature was unaware of his climb, completely absorbed in its watery world.

Finally reaching the top, his eyes locked onto the spear stuck in the Kraken's massive body. It wasn't just the weapon's appeal that captivated him; there was a strong pull, as if destiny itself was calling or some hidden power was at play.

As the spear guy advanced step by step, he felt an even stronger link with the old weapon. It was almost like they were chatting without words, pushing him onward on this gutsy climb up the icy road and into the Kraken's territory.

Sliding and slithering on the Kraken's slick surface, he kept going toward the tempting spear. The Kraken kept bleeding darkly from its injuries, but he stayed determined.

All of a sudden, the giant sea creature noticed the intruder. One of its long arms rose threateningly, swiftly lashing out.

With graceful moves like a dancer, the spear guy skillfully dodged the attack, his eyes fixed on the captivating spear. The Kraken howled in pain from its own tentacle's force.

The whole scene had a strange, dreamlike feel, grabbing everyone's attention and stirring their excitement. For Morvain, mixed feelings of envy and resentment mingled with shivers down his spine, causing a whirlwind of emotions. The sight was unbelievably strange.

Morvain found it hard to wrap his head around this reality. The thought that people his own age could do such incredible things seemed unbelievable and tough to accept. He struggled with feelings of envy and disbelief as he tried to make sense of everything happening before him.

"Why is the world so unfair to me?" Morvain bit his lower lip in a surge of rage, only to feel a sharp pain as hot liquid dripped from his lips. Meanwhile, the Kraken attempted to swat the spear guy once more, but the attempt proved futile. Like a hero reaching the long-sought destination, the spear inched closer.

In a moment of respite, the spear guy took a second to admire the magical weapon. The intricate patterns and the captivating blue hue emanating from it left no doubt—it was undoubtedly a magic spear.

With determination, the spear guy grabbed hold of the magical weapon's shaft, feeling an instant connection. Another hand joined in, gripping the spear tightly. He took a deep breath, preparing himself for what was to come.

Feeling something amiss, the Kraken thrashed its massive body. However, the spear guy already had the magical weapon in his possession. With a sudden shout, he summoned his strength and pulled on the spear, starting a battle of strength between man and sea monster.

The embedded spear bore a mark of power greater than the spear guy's own, but undeterred, he summoned all his strength. Oblivious to the changing ground beneath him, he stood firm, holding onto the magical weapon with unwavering determination.

With every tug on the embedded magical weapon, a powerful vibration filled the air. The howling Kraken, unexpectedly thrust into a surprise battle, mirrored the turmoil within its own watery domain.

The onlookers, holding their breath, felt the tension rise. The spear guy's resolute determination clashed with the Kraken's furious resistance, creating a gripping struggle beyond just physical strength. It showcased the unwavering spirit of a lone warrior against an immense force of nature.

The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the spear guy, unfazed by the howls and changing surroundings, continued to pull. Each tug wrote a new chapter in this remarkable encounter—a dance of strength and determination between man and sea beast, an unpredictable display of willpower.

Like a sudden lightning strike, the Kraken devised a clever plan. It started tilting towards the sea, aiming to pull the spear guy down with it. Sensing the danger, the spear guy cleverly used the shifting gravity to his benefit.

Quickly, he rotated the embedded spear, holding onto it tightly. Firmly planting his feet on the Kraken's huge body, he utilized the tilting movement. Then, in a bold move, he leaped downward, outsmarting the Kraken's calculated trick and turning the risky situation into a showcase of nimble thinking.

A sharp gasp echoed among the audience as both the Kraken and the spear guy dived into the water. In that intense moment, the spectators missed seeing the spear guy's smart move—his timely jump, skillfully disconnecting from the Kraken just before the plunge.

A wave of fear swept over everyone as they watched the scene unfold. The Kraken, a creature of the water, was sure to endure, but the fate of the spear guy remained uncertain. An air of tension lingered, except for Morvain.

Contrary to the prevailing worry, Morvain couldn't hide his wide grin. He felt an unusual thrill at the thought of witnessing a lord's potential downfall.

"Shouldn't feel this, but I can't help being thrilled by a lord's possible downfall." Unspoken envy lingered in Morvain, yet the sight of a prominent figure facing the unknown depths strangely fascinated him.

A heavy silence filled the air as both the Kraken and the spear guy disappeared into the depths. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation, leaving everyone in suspense. Suddenly, the calm waves turned into wild surges, hinting at the Kraken's imminent return.

With a thunderous roar, the colossal sea creature emerged, rocking the ship to its core. The unexpected sight left the ship's occupants reeling from the aftermath of this intense showdown between the Kraken and the resilient spear guy.
