The Light That Outshone All

Synopsis

My cousin, Hazel Peyton, and I woke up in an alternate reality. A mysterious system manifested before us. Without hesitation, Hazel seized the golden light of Peerless Splendor and left me the silver light of Timeless Beauty, convinced she had secured the upper hand. She captivated all of Vaelthyr with her striking looks, while I stayed in a neglected courtyard, exploring my farming system and watching it revive dead wood and bring forth a sea of blossoms. Everyone mocked me for choosing what seemed the lesser prize, unaware that my Timeless Beauty was never merely surface beauty. It could mend fatal wounds, restore life, and alter the course of fate. Only when the supreme ruler knelt to tend my flower fields did Hazel realize how terribly wrong she had been.
