The kingdom of Oscensi has a dark secret. Buried deep beneath their castle's chambers is a single prison cell. And within is a boy with destruction at his fingertips.

His only company lies with the black flames he conjures, along with the mysterious girl whose visits provide a rare spark of light in his lonely darkness. Until the day the castle falls, and he is gifted his first taste of freedom.

Yet this world does not welcome a boy with the talents of a monster. Fighting to both contain his malicious power and keep his life, he finds himself running, trapped by dangers from all sides.

After all, how can he trust anyone when he can barely trust himself?

The Silver Seer by Flickerstar
46 parts Complete Mature
Russia declares they will go to war with Switzerland if they do not receive who they call "The Silver Seer"- a person who can see the deaths of others just moments before their demise and prevent it, only recognizable by the color of their blood: silver. It is up to one young man to either rally the nation together to fight the war or surrender and end it before it begins. --- Felix Adelric is Russia's target. Though he serves as the Army General of Switzerland, he actively tries to deny and lie about his past where his father, the Grand Marshal of the Russian Federation, abused and tortured him upon learning of his ability. His only wish is to protect the officers serving under him, but once his past begins to conflict with that desire, he debates if keeping secrets is doing more harm than good. Reko Erkki is a mechanical soldier from Finland who was saved by Felix after Russia invaded Finland, slaughtering nearly all of the mechanical beings. He vows to do everything and anything for his captain, yet finds his life is soon threatened by a mysterious outsider. Reyes Theodor has been traveling Europe ever since his parents were killed by who he swears is a mechanical soldier. Yet when he meets Reko and nearly kills him, he learns that he is not who the teenager is looking for. So, using the upcoming war as a distraction, Reyes sets out to find the person who murdered his parents and avenge them, once and for all. Coming together, Felix, Reko, and Reyes must battle both external and internal forces that threaten to tear the Swiss military apart, while also searching for the truth behind their many questions. Yet as the war looms on the horizon, surrendering may be the only thing they can do...if they're willing to go that far. Warning: This story contains references to, and graphic depictions of, violence, self-harm, suicide, and death, and discusses subjects and topics that may not be suitable for some readers.

READY TO READ <3 "...It was as if a spirit had taken control of my body. I was lifted into the air, my arms widespread, my head automatically tilted back. There was a bright, eye-blinding light surrounding me. I could hear the voice now. It said my name. And then, it stopped. Oh no. No, no, no! It was true. It is true. And the voice, as if it had been reading my mind, announced to the impatient audience: "Peter O'Connor. Exceptional fighting skills; Sharp hearing; No need to breathe; Element: Fire." On turning seventeen, Peter O'Connor, forced by his step-father, swears his loyalty to Oi Alloi, a secret society for men with powers and in the span of a single second is forced to admit that there lays a sleeping dragon hidden behind this already shocking community- a dragon who's silent slumber has lasted a year too long. To add on to it, an old enmity suddenly surfaces, a girl supposedly filled with love turns out to be filled with secrets, and of course, there's the loyal friend, who's not so loyal anymore. Cursed or not, these powers can either break him, or make him- save him, or destroy him- and the choice is only his to make... Best Ranking: #4 in Secret Societies
