Title: Elemental Chronicles: The Cosmic Confluence

Plot Summary:
In a vast universe divided into elemental nations, states, and villages, each endowed with unique bending-like powers, the balance of power and harmony among them has been carefully maintained for centuries. The nations are Airalith, Pyrovia, Terranova, and Aquaria. Their political atmospheres revolve around their respective elements and their beliefs about how to uphold the cosmic balance. Beyond their borders lies the Elemental Academy, where gifted elementals with powerful bloodlines are sent to interact, co-mix, and forge influential bonds, both familial and romantic.

Time System:
The universe follows a unique time system known as the "Stellar Arc." It is based on celestial events, with "Star Cycles" being the main units of time, equivalent to 10 years. Each Star Cycle is divided into "Galactic Phases," each lasting a year. A Galactic Phase is further divided into "Astro Months" of 40 days, grouped into four 10-day weeks. Years are denoted as "Cycle.yr.Galactic Phase," for example, 34.yr.6th Phase.

Fated Soulmates and Bloodline Importance:

Within the Elemental Academy, the concept of fated soulmates plays a significant role. It is believed that certain individuals possess a deep connection with another elemental from a different power lineage, destined to be their soulmate. These unions are seen as the merging of powerful bloodlines and are highly valued by the families. However, relationships between elementals of different powers or mixed-powered bloodlines are often met with resistance and prejudice.

The academy actively encourages interactions and introductions between students from influential families to facilitate the discovery of their fated soulmates. It is believed that these unions not only strengthen bloodlines but also enhance the power and potential of their offspring. The ascendancy trials, where students showcase their bloodline powers, often serve as a stage for these fated soulmates to meet and display their compatibility.

The rise of the illegal substance "Stellar Essence" among students participating in the ascendancy trials adds a dangerous twist to the story. This substance, coveted for its ability to enhance elemental powers temporarily, becomes a means for some students to gain an advantage and improve their standing. However, the consequences of using such a substance are grave, risking the stability of their powers, personal well-being, and the harmony within the academy. As students succumb to temptation, they not only face the consequences of their actions but also the potential collapse of their families' social standing.
