    Summary

    The war was over, but peace brought no rest.

    Bound by political duty and the expectations of a rebuilding world, Arthur and Tessia are forced on a grueling diplomatic tour across the recovering continent. It was an obligation neither asked for—especially with Tessia carrying the fragile, growing hope of their unborn twins.

    They expected political tension and weary crowds. They did not expect an ambush in a freezing mountain pass.

    A story of heavy burdens, brutal sacrifice, and the mythic ascension unlocked when a mother refuses to let duty take her family.

    Summary

    The war is over, the gods have fallen, and the noise of world-ending conflict has finally dissolved into the terrifying stillness of peace.

    Sitting beside a dying hearth in the quiet twilight of dawn, Arthur Leywin—now stripped of his Aether core and divinity—and Tessia Eralith face the heaviest weight of all: what was lost, and what is left.

    From the ghosts of King Grey, Cecilia, and Nico, to the agonising grief of Reynolds Leywin and the horrific fate of Alduin and Merial, two broken survivors lay bare their deepest regrets, trauma, and unspoken love in the quiet hours between dusk and morning.

    An angst-heavy, poetic look at healing, forgiveness, and building a life out of ashes when the fire burns low.

    Summary

    To Nico, her body is an empty envelope waiting for a lost love. To Agrona, her soul is merely clutter to be pruned. Trapped in the cold, suffocating depths of Taegrin Caelum, Tessia Eralith watches her mind dissolve piece by piece as the binding array takes hold. But as her memories fade into grey ash and a ghost steps forward to claim her flesh, Tessia buries one final, unyielding ember deep beneath the floorboards of her own spirit.

    Summary

    In his past life as King Grey, every public square was a kill zone and every crowd a vector for betrayal. Now, walking through the peaceful morning market of Ashber alongside Tessia, Arthur Leywin is slowly learning to unlearn the instincts of a lifetime of war.

    Between buying old history books, exchanging simple words with local children, and sharing quiet memories beside a tranquil lake, Arthur realizes that peace isn't just the absence of conflict—it’s the luxury of time, and the freedom to finally live a normal life with the person he loves.

    This is a story taking place after the War but before the ArtTess marriage

    Summary

    'Go, Tess.'

    Those were his final words before pushing her into the portal—the last gift of a dying lance, bought with blood and a dead life.

    Now trapped in the dark, suffocating subterranean vaults of the Sanctuary, Tessia Eralith quickly learns that survival is its own form of execution. Ostracised by her surviving people, blamed for her parents’ high treason, and bearing the unbearable crush of Arthur Leywin’s death, Tessia is left completely alone in a world that despises her existence.

    Distrusted by Lord Virion, shunned by Alice and Ellie, and haunted by the ghost of the boy who traded his future for hers, Tessia sinks into a quiet, shattering despair—struggling to understand how to keep breathing in a life paid for with the ultimate sacrifice.

    A raw exploration of grief, survivor's guilt, and isolation in the dark written in first person.

    Summary

    Following the end of the War, Arthur Leywin and Tessia Eralith look out over a peaceful valley where humans, elves, dwarves, Alacryans, and asuras work together to rebuild society. Stepping away from political power and refusing a seat on the new governing council, Arthur chooses instead to teach the next generation without titles or uniforms, while Tessia dedicates herself to restoring the damaged lands of Elenoir. As years pass and continental borders begin to fade from daily life, Arthur comes to realize that the world no longer relies on a single legend to survive—allowing him, for the first time across two lifetimes, to simply live for a peaceful future.

    Between sleepless nights, domestic quiet, and unlearning the habits of a god-slayer, Arthur must navigate what it truly means to be a father, a partner, and simply himself without a sword in hand.

    A soft, intimate post-war slice-of-life exploring healing, long-awaited conversations, and the slow quiet of a world that no longer needs saving from Arthur's POV.

    Summary

    Peace had made silence different—less heavy, but far more uncertain.

    In the quiet garden of their home in Ashber, Arthur Leywin is still learning how to exist after the end of the war, treating quiet soil like a battlefield that could betray him at any moment. But when Tessia returns from the local healer with life-changing news, Arthur is forced to face a truth far more terrifying and beautiful than any god or war he ever fought.

    He has survived two lifetimes of duty, loss, and survival. Now, he has to learn how to be a father—to not just one life, but two.

    The war is over, but the silence it leaves behind is far from empty.

Trapped no longer behind glass or bound by the terrifying weight of Fate, two broken survivors must now face the hardest challenge left: learning how to live after the storm.

    A post-Volume 12 story of shared grief, healing trauma, heavy conversations, and the quiet courage of choosing each other in the dark.

    Summary

    'The rain in Dicathen did not smell the same as it used to.'

    In the quiet aftermath of war, Arthur and Tessia sit together on a rain-slicked porch—carrying the weight of dead kings, lost continents, and the ghosts left in their wake. Between the scars of Alacrya, the stolen years of possession, and the tarnished silver leaves held in their hands, there are truths that need to be spoken about what was lost, what was bled for, and what remains.

    A story of grief, forgiveness, and choosing each other out of the ashes, written in Tessia's POV, taking place right after the last arc but before the last chapter of the light novel.
