Description of the book: Huxtin, the former king of Paralloy Teddix, embarked on a quest to locate the twelve enigmatic Star Souls, beings possessing immense Elementro powers. His mission was twofold: to save his home planet, Celestiloo, and to fulfil his own destiny. Miria, hailing from the Auras, once the dominant species of Celestiloo, and Mu Mann, a soldier commander from the alien planet known as Earth, joined forces with Huxtin to eradicate the so-called evil beings, the Umbras.
Huricane, the current king of Paralloy Teddix, struggled with his youth and lack of experience, yearning to prove himself as a worthy leader to his people. Simultaneously, Nokiata Zen, a young soldier from Earth, grappled with newfound powers as a wielder of fire Elementro particles, which were connected to one of the Star Souls.
It was a time when the fates of the Teddixians and Earthlings became intertwined. Huxtin, also known as the Son of Chaos, stood at the crossroads of becoming either a saviour or a destroyer, wrestling with the decision of whether to don the mantle of a hero or a villain. As an unexpected yet familiar figure reappeared and wreaked havoc upon Paralloy Teddix, hidden truths about Huxtin, the Auras, the Umbras, and the vast universe were on the verge of being unveiled…

Description of the book: Returning to Teddix, Huxtin wasted no time in gathering the remaining Star Souls from within Paralloy Teddix and even venturing beyond the Boundless Ocean. Mu Mann observed the transformation in Huxtin's demeanour and power along their journey. Initially, she held onto hopeful thoughts, but soon realised that the change was a dreadful nightmare for her.
In the heart of Teddix Castle, Huricane knew all too well that the game of life and death would carry on, and he had already braced himself for the approaching day filled with grim surprises. Meanwhile, Rafaelzo of the Auras had made his way back to Celestiloo accompanied by a group of elite fighters prepared to face the imminent crisis. They weren't only up against the Umbras but someone from Rafaelzo's own past. Despite the haunting memories that resurfaced, Rafaelzo remained resolute in his commitment to ensuring the safety and security of The Land of Pure.
Eventually, the Son of Chaos would cross paths with the chief elder of the Auras. Whether they would form an alliance or engage in ceaseless battles hinged upon the actions of their mutual adversaries…
Guest Post "Work-write Balance" by Jay Cliffix
Writing a novel is undoubtedly a stressful task, but as a fantasy story lover, I can always find joy and wonderment when I construct my own magical world. I have real fun when I indulge in doing research on mystical elements and naming the items, locations, and creatures imagined by my own creativity.
However, the cruel reality is that it's exceptionally hard to find time for writing story. During the previous year when I wasn't employed, I had enough time to write and polish my second novel. Unexpectedly, just days after I published it on Amazon, I got a job offer that I had long waited for. Now, not only have I become heavily occupied by my full-time job, but I have also been frequently tired, both physically and spiritually. Every day when I get home from work, I immediately go to take a quick nap, which will often turn into a four to five hour sleep. And then when I open my eyes again, it's already late at midnight, just a few hours left before I have to go to work… It repeats, and repeats… A cycle that I still haven't managed to break. I know, and we all know, that rest is essential, but this feels like too much for me. I feel frustrated that I'm really wasting a lot of time doing nothing at all.
The main point I want to express is: I need to secure more time for writing, and I cannot let the burning flame of fantasy and creativity inside my heart be extinguished by the mundanity of my job or even my life. I really miss the days when I could confine myself at home and spend all day and night writing my novel. Sorry, boss, I don't mean I don't like my new job, but I won't lie about the fact that I enjoyed my unemployed days much, much more.
I believe I am born to write creatively. I don't think I've ever stopped thinking about my fantasy story and turning my imaginations into scenes and dialogues inside my head, but I don't think I have enough time in my lifetime to write them all down. Everyone talks about "work-life balance", but for me, I would say "work-write balance" suits me the most. I want to dedicate my life to writing, as well as to my story. If I was granted a wish, I don't think I would wish for becoming a billionaire (wait, am I sure about that?), but for not having to worry about making a living so that I can write at every time, in every place.
I regard writing my fantasy story as a way to keep myself happy, and to be happy is always the way of life.
