    About this ebook

    The world was once protected by the Great Five—heroes who fought to defend humanity from the forces of darkness that threatened to consume it. They were a team bound by destiny, each representing a unique power, each driven by an unwavering sense of duty. Together, they stood against evil, saving lives across countries, planets, and villages—until their final battle, when they vanished without a trace, leaving only legends behind.

    But legends never die.

    Aiko, a young girl living in a world teetering on the edge of destruction, is suddenly thrust into chaos when a villain from the Phantom Realm targets her life. Just as all hope seems lost, the Great Five reappear, not as the heroes they once were, but as beings reborn to fight again. With Aiko caught in the center of a battle between good and evil, she must face her destiny and uncover the true meaning of the Nexus—a mysterious force that links the fate of all worlds.

    As the Great Five reunite, they realize their final fight has not yet passed. The shadows are rising again, and the world needs new heroes—heroes that Aiko must gather to stand against an ancient enemy bent on rewriting the future.

    Legends Never Die is the first book in an epic new fantasy series, where the line between heroes and villains blurs, and the true strength of friendship, courage, and sacrifice will determine the fate of the world. Join Aiko and the Great Five as they face unimaginable challenges, confront dark secrets, and uncover the untold power of the Nexus.

      About The Author

      Introduction

      The world is built on stories. Long before we had written words, we had legends, epic tales of heroes who stood against the darkness, preserving the light for future generations. These stories became more than entertainment; they became lessons, guiding us on what it means to be brave, selfless, and strong.

      But what happens when legends are forgotten?

      This book begins in such a world, a time when humanity has grown complacent, distracted by progress and blinded to the shadows creeping closer. It is a story of rediscovery, of heroes who once saved the world and the new generation they inspire.

      At its heart, this is a tale of connection: between the past and present, between ordinary people and extraordinary deeds, and between the light and dark forces that shape our existence. Whether you are here for the epic battles, the bonds between characters, or the enduring hope that shines through the darkest times, I hope you find a piece of yourself in these pages.

      Let the journey begin.

      Preface

      In every age, there are stories of extraordinary individuals, legends who rise against impossible odds to defend what they hold dear. Their tales, though embellished over time, often become myths, fading into the background of our ever-changing world. But what if these legends never truly disappeared? What if they merely waited, hidden in the shadows, for the moment when the world needed them most?

      Legends Never Die began as a simple idea, born from my daughter's vivid imagination, of heroes who defy time itself to protect humanity. Her vision inspired this tale of courage, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit that connects us all.

      This book is not just a story about heroes; it is a reminder that within each of us lies the potential to rise above adversity, to become something greater. As you turn the pages, I hope you'll find inspiration in these characters and their journey, just as I did while reading it.

      Thank you for embarking on this adventure with us.

      -Ivy CB

      Prologue

      The Last Stand of the Great Five

      Chaos Unleashed

      The world burned under a sky thick with ash and despair. In the heart of a ruined city, buildings crumbled as shadowy figures swarmed the streets, their jagged, otherworldly forms cutting through stone and steel like paper. Screams echoed through the air as survivors fled, clutching their loved ones. The Phantom Realm’s invasion was unlike anything humanity had faced before, a storm of darkness that devoured everything in its path.

      At the center of it all stood the Shadow Monarch, a towering figure draped in a cloak of living shadows. His voice reverberated like thunder, each word dripping with malice. This world will kneel, as all others have. Your defenders are powerless against the might of the Phantom Realm!

      But the Shadow Monarch had underestimated his opponents.

      From the distant horizon, five streaks of light cut through the darkness, each one shining with a distinct color—green, yellow, blue, purple, and red. The Great Five had arrived.

      The Great Five in Action

      Katie led the charge, her emerald-green aura glowing like a beacon. Stella, Keith, flank the south side! Hana, you’re with me—protect the civilians. Sam, do your thing and draw their fire!

      On it! Sam grinned, his cocky smirk visible even amidst the chaos. He dove into the fray, his blue light zipping through the enemy lines, leaving trails of confusion in his wake.

      Stay safe, everyone! Hana’s gentle voice cut through the noise as she conjured a golden barrier, shielding a group of terrified villagers. She knelt beside a crying child, her warm smile a moment of calm in the storm.

      Keith, meanwhile, roared as he charged into the thickest part of the battle, his crimson energy erupting like wildfire. Let’s end this! he bellowed, swinging a massive, glowing weapon that shattered the
