First of all Kudos to all who have read this far and welcome to those who had just opened this by mistake as well.


    Now let''s talk about volume 1 Hope is despair a bit, I promise not to take too much of your time. So bear with it for a moment.


    The story started with introducing a lot of characters centred around a village named Enor, Asher our protagonist witnessed many things there from his small childhood to its end.


    He tried to save others but only to fail miserably, the early chapters were not that well written but I have already edited them as well so feel free to check them once again. His power are not that special to tell the truth as well. He can stop time of an enemy, is that not op you will ask.But no its not, all the enemy he fought against were stronger then him, and its too much problem to stop multiple opponents for him as well.


    His character was not shown good enough as well I feel, I want Asher to learn and grow by watching others.That way he can stumble on both good and bad side of society. That''s what next volume will explore, his character.


    Asher had met many good people till now, with no clear sign of hostility, he was lucky for that. But world is not just a good place but also bad. We will explore that theme later as well.


    "Hope is despair" for me mainly tells that, Asher was shown hope multiple times, he was unaware of his past so he got a new family in Enor village, it was hope for him but its destruction led to his despair. He was given strength, a hope to save William but his death again led to despair. He again was given Strength on his enlightenment but he himself ended up killing kena as well.


    Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    He has gained many things but lost as well.


    Next volume 2 "Hunters and prey" I don’t know what you think from this but yeah I ended up balanty copying it from Coi, I just found out. I am really sorry for that, but many names and traits had already been used in many novels out there. So some similar names or ability will drop here and there.


    This volume I promise will be bigger with better flow, more chapters and content. I learn from my mistakes that I did in early chapters. That''s why I had changed my writing style as well. And it will keep getting better and better. I always try to keep my promise and have actually done better.


    Now I will just summarise the power system and ranking on whats been told till now not just for the readers but for me as well.


    Aspect/Source Element :- Eternity


    ? Level 1: Temporal Static — Gain awareness of time, an object can be stopped from its action ,living beings can also be stopped for a limited time with strain on user.


    ? Level 2: Kairosflow— Any thing can be accelrated/de-accelrated with respect to time.(slow or fast)


    The energy is called origin, it will be explored further in story.

    ● Rank 2:- Beast.


    From beast onwards it has tiers as well low level Beast, mid level Beast, high level Beast.
