The door creaked open with a low groan as Elise stumbled into her room, the heavy scent of smoke and rain still clinging to her hair and clothes. She barely managed to kick off her boots before collapsing face-first into the bed. Every part of her ached—there had been more monsters than usual today, more blood, more screams, more damage to clean up. She hadn't even healed from the last skirmish.

Her body screamed for rest, and for once, she listened.

Darkness took her.

A sliver of moonlight traced the edge of her windowsill when her eyes blinked open. Her mind fogged by exhaustion, Elise stirred slowly, reaching for the blanket—

And froze.

Someone was breathing beside her.

Warmth. Presence.

Her heart lurched into her throat as she rolled over in panic.

“Vael?!”

There he was, lying beside her like it was the most natural thing in the world. One arm under his head, the other draped casually over the blanket, his hair tousled, lips slightly parted in sleep. His normally unreadable expres

  • Bounded Beyond The Abyss   Special Chapter #2

    Their pastlife.Century years ago....The temple was deathly silent. Moonlight filtered through the towering stained-glass windows, casting eerie patterns on the marble floor. Torches burned with an unnatural blue glow, illuminating the intricate carvings of Gods long forgotten. The air smelled of incense and dried roses, masking the metallic tang of blood from past sacrifices.Elyssia knelt on the cold stone altar, her wrists bound by sacred silk, her pristine white robes stained with the golden sigils of her impending death. The High Priests, draped in obsidian robes, chanted in unison, their voices rising and falling like a dirge.The kingdom of Elysium had been overrun by monstrous abominations-twisted creatures born from darkness itself. And for centuries, the solution had remained the same: a Holy Priestess offered as a sacrifice to cleanse the land. Tonight, Elyssia was that offering.But she did not want to die.Her heartbeat pounded in her ears as she clenched her fists, the

  • Bounded Beyond The Abyss   Special Chapter #1

    Elise sat on the edge of the examination table, her heart pounding as the doctor reviewed the results. The sterile scent of the clinic was usually something she disliked, but today, she barely noticed it. Her fingers clenched against the fabric of her dress as she waited.The doctor smiled warmly before finally speaking. "Congratulations, Lady Elise. You're pregnant."For a moment, Elise's mind went blank. The world around her blurred as a whirlwind of emotions surged inside her-shock, disbelief, joy. Her hands instinctively pressed against her stomach, as if to confirm the truth.Pregnant.She was going to have a child.Vaelrath's child.Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, and a soft laugh escaped her lips. "I... I'm really pregnant?" she asked, still needing to hear it again.The doctor chuckled. "Yes, my lady. Your child is growing strong and healthy."Elise's hands trembled slightly. She had never imagined a moment like this. In every lifetime, in every cruel twist of fate,

  • Bounded Beyond The Abyss   Epilogue

    The waves crashed against their legs, soaking their clothes as Elise tried to catch her breath from laughter. Vaelrath had pulled her into the water so effortlessly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The warmth of his hand still lingered against hers, grounding her in this moment-a moment she never thought they would have.The ocean breeze tousled his red hair, and the golden light of the rising sun made his eyes glow like twin embers. He was looking at her with that familiar expression, one she had seen across lifetimes-devotion, longing, love."Elise," he murmured, voice laced with something deeper.Her heart stuttered. "What?"Vael didn't answer immediately. Instead, he reached into his pocket, water dripping from his fingers as he pulled out something small.Elise's breath caught in her throat.A ring.Not just any ring-the one she had seen him buy at the auction. The one she had secretly watched him purchase, wondering why he had taken interest in something so de

  • Bounded Beyond The Abyss   32 - Ending

    The world had not miraculously healed after the battle. Even with Sorean’s death, the monsters did not vanish overnight. The curse, the cycle of suffering, still lingered like a stain upon existence.But this time, they would not let the world dictate their fate.Vaelrath and Elise stood together, their hands intertwined, their path clear. Instead of severing the world from its monsters through sacrifice, they worked alongside the Elysium Organization, searching for another way—a way that would not demand innocent blood.It wasn’t easy.There were still nights when the sky burned with the screams of the hunted, when villages fell to creatures of nightmare. There were still scars—deep, unhealed wounds in the fabric of their existence.But this time, they fought together.Vaelrath, the dragon feared by the world, stood as their shield.Elise, once a pawn in fate’s cruel game, had become its master.She wielded her power not as a weapon of sacrifice, but as a beacon of hope.And so, they

    A single drop rolled down his cheek, slipping onto her wound.And then—light.Warmth surged through her body, an undeniable force knitting flesh back together. The searing pain dulled, the edges of death retreating like a tide receding from the shore.Her breath shuddered.Vaelrath’s golden eyes widened as he felt it—the shift, the impossibility. His tears had healed her.Fate had bound them together once more.This time, it would not tear them apart.Sorean's sword was still slick with her blood, the red staining his fingers as he stood frozen. His breath came uneven, his entire body rigid with shock. Elise had been dying—she should have died. He had seen his blade pierce through her, had felt her life slipping away.But now…Elise stirred, her fingers brushing over the place where the wound had been. Nothing.

    A sharp, searing pain burned through Elise’s body as consciousness crashed into her like a tidal wave. Her breath hitched, her lungs constricting as the weight of memory—memories that had once been locked away—flooded through her mind.Elyssia.The past life that had been nothing more than a whisper at the edges of her soul was now an unshakable, undeniable truth.She remembered.She remembered everything.And now—she had awakened here.The dim torchlight flickered against the damp stone walls of the ancient temple chamber, its glow casting long, eerie shadows. A heavy fog of incense clouded the air, thick with the metallic scent of blood. The chanting of hooded figures reverberated around her, their voices merging into a single, ominous harmony, weaving an incantation long lost to time.Slowly, her vision sharpened, and amidst the shrouded figures, she saw him.Sorean.He stood before her, golden eyes gleaming in the firelight, his face carved from stone.
