elastic watcher

A Watcher for the God of War returns to the world under abnormal circumstances after being murdered with the love of his life. He still remembers his previous life though there are some grey areas in his memories which he cannot assess yet due to him not possessing his real body. This hampers his strength a great deal as he deals with attacks from fellow Watchers and forces of darkness. On the other hand, the love of his life reincarnates with no memories of him or her past life. She is more powerful than in her previous life, probably more powerful than anyone alive. Dwelling in human settlements where witches are being hunted massively, she's forced to live the early parts of her life in the shadows. But as she grows, her power can no longer be contained as she becomes a target for humans and her kind. The Watcher must reunite with his love, understand why they both returned the way they did, uncover the real reason why they were murdered, bring their killer to justice, and fight off further attempts on their lives. All the while, an evil force once banished from the world makes a return.

Zara, raised in exile by her mother, uncovers a life-altering secret upon her mother’s death: she is a “Watcher,” a legendary guardian chosen to protect the kingdom from an ancient darkness. Watchers have always been male, and Zara’s birth as the first female Watcher led to her family’s exile. But there’s more—Zara is the first Watcher born without magic and the prophecy speaks of her as the Watcher of two flames(salvation or destruction), making her an even greater anomaly. Now, with her mother gone and the kingdom in peril, Zara must return to reclaim her destiny. Accompanied by her mysterious horse, Hei Hei, who harbors ancient powers of her own, Zara infiltrates the palace in search of answers. What she finds is far worse than she imagined. The current Watcher, a distant relative, and the manipulative queen have turned to black magic, plunging the kingdom into chaos. As darkness spreads, illness, fear, and death consume the land. Zara realizes her mission isn’t just to reclaim her role as Watcher—it’s to dismantle the evil gripping the throne. But her path is fraught with danger, and without magic, her fight seems impossible. Meanwhile, the newly crowned king, grieving his father’s death and burdened by the kingdom’s collapse, faces another challenge—custom dictates he must choose a queen soon to maintain stability. Unbeknownst to him, the woman destined for him is already by his side. As he begins to fall for Zara, she finds herself torn. Her destiny demands she sacrifice everything for the kingdom, but can she deny her growing feelings for the prince? With the fate of the realm hanging in the balance, Zara must decide: will she embrace her role as Watcher, or risk it all for love?

When I heard that my parents died, I was joyful. Ever since I was young, I could never express any emotions, but I could feel them. I know I can. When they died, I showed something on my face for the first time: a big old happy smile. Having enough, I went and summoned a demon from the book the old lady got me. When I first summoned him, he was a pain—a very annoying pain—that I couldn't get rid of. But I had to put up with him since he said he would teach me magic. And so I made a deal with him. He put me through many hardships. I had died many times because of him. And his stupid deal. What was his deal, you ask? It was to defeat Lucifer, one of the rulers of hell. --- Please note the ones in the cover are the villains of arc three.

Synopsis: What if one day world changing information was dropped onto your lap? How would you react? Would you be calm and collected? Would you freak out? Would you welcome it with open arms? Would your entire life change because of it? Doesn’t matter I guess since a lot of us won't be in a situation that extreme though as much as we dream we might; right? One high schooler however in one day had his entire life changed, finding things out about the world, his classmates, his society, or even his family. Beforehand he “happily” lived as an anti-social freak for most of his life. Because of this he didn't have people skills. Not the ones that required interaction, but rather he was a watcher. He watched, he read, he didn't live life he observed it. And to him that was fine; but what if he suddenly is forced to live it? What would he do then? Let's find out as the watcher is forced to live the very life he was comfortable observing from a distance. Author: I'm new to this. This is my first published story. I'm still in high school. So, the novel probably won't meet a lot of peoples standards and neither will the main or side cast at times. The main character seems intelligent at the start but he is a freshman. He will lose. He has great observational skills but he's still human. If you have any complaints about him, the side cast, the romance, or the general plot I'll try my best to apply it if I deem it necessary. Also upload schedule is non-existent so don't expect constant uploads I recommend this as a side read since It's very amateurish and I also have a lot of school work to do. Important!!! The cover image is not my property I unfortunately used AI to render it in order to give readers an accurate view of what the main character looks like. I don't mean to undermine art in the least.
