Stolen Promises, Cost of Forever

ASpringNight
"I’ll be gone for almost a year. Which woman would wait that long for a man?” Selina went still and said quietly. "A woman who love deeply would wait." A woman like her. She would have waited for Nicki. She had waited, even when he had abandoned her. Damon noticed the shift immediately. His eyes narrowed slightly. Then, slowly—“You. You would wait for him.” Selina looked up. For the first time since they had met, her guard slipped. Her eyes held something raw. A quiet, devastating vulnerability. She didn’t lie. She simply said, "Yes" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Selina found the One. Her soulmate. She fell in love. A love that consumed her… And she lost it in the worst possible way. He left her. Not just left—he abandoned her to marry another woman. All he left behind for her was a goodbye letter… and an unexpected gift. Selina was pregnant. She decided to build a new life, far from everyone she knew. Small problem? She had no one she could trust—except her sister, Margaret. With nowhere else to turn, Selina returned to her hometown, lost and unsure of what to do. She left married to her sister’s fiancé. Now, in a foreign country, with a husband who clearly doesn’t want her. Selina must find a way to survive—to carve out a future for herself and her baby.

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied.

Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time.
