Emerald Eyes and New Beginnings (Harry Potter)

Perseus_Blackfyre
On November 1st, 2001, the magical community rejoices over the defeat of Voldemort, crediting the miraculous event to the infant Harry Potter. However, Albus Dumbledore, wary of Voldemort's true fate and understanding the protective magic invoked by Lily Potter, ensures Harry's safety through a powerful blood ward anchored at the home of his aunt, Petunia Dursley. Ignoring the family's inevitable resentment, Dumbledore leaves Harry with the Dursleys, confident they will protect him. The Dursleys, deeply uncomfortable with Harry's magical nature, treat him with increasing cruelty as his accidental magic manifests. This culminates in a violent outburst when Harry is six, leading Vernon Dursley to abandon him at a London orphanage. At the orphanage, Harry faces further abuse and learns to suppress his magical outbursts. A year later, Harry is adopted by the wealthy Shaws, who view him as a status symbol rather than a son. Despite their indifference, Harry's life improves as he receives proper food, education, and the freedom to practice his magic in secret. Years later, Hogwarts sends Harry's acceptance letter to his new address, puzzling Dumbledore. McGonagall visits the Shaws to explain Harry's heritage and secure his attendance at Hogwarts, despite their initial reluctance. She ensures Harry is prepared for his magical education while uncovering the true hardships he faced with the Dursleys, leaving Dumbledore to ponder the consequences of his decisions.

Chaosborn: The Dual Awakening

"In a world where every child awakens a class, he awakened two. Then shattered them both." In a galaxy governed by awakening ranks—from F to XXR, with X being the peak ever recorded—Arel was destined to fall short. Born to a humble blacksmith and a housewife in a backwater planet forgotten by the stars, his future was set in stone: poverty, ridicule, and silence. At age twelve, when every child awakens their Class, Arel receives a Saint—an honorable, divine-based class—only to watch it crumble and be replaced by something cursed: Necromancer. In a world where the dead are feared and mental strain from summoning consumes even veterans, Necromancers are discarded, unwanted, dangerous. Especially when they’re human. But Arel is different. He doesn’t just raise bones—he revives souls. Each minion he summons remembers their past, grows, evolves. And behind this forbidden class lies a System, whispering to him secrets buried in time, rewards within dungeons, and a path toward something ancient—something forgotten. As chaos brews, dungeons erupt, and unknown races from far galaxies stir, Arel embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind his father’s silence, his missing mother, and his sister’s mysterious Elf-Psychic hybrid class. In a universe where even S-rank warriors tremble before Demon Lords of the Abyss, where Dragonkin guard their island realms and empires crumble overnight, Arel doesn’t just plan to survive. He plans to break the system, forge a new path—and ascend beyond the ranks known to any galaxy. Even if it means becoming a being the world no longer remembers. Even if it means becoming... Chaosborn.
