The accident leaves him unable to walk—but awakens something extraordinary inside his mind.

As Vash learns to understand his new mind, he begins uncovering secrets about his past and the mysterious reason his parents left him.

Talent and change, those two define humanity. But if you lack neither innate talent nor do you possess the ability to change, what are you? As a freshman at Laxus Flare Academy, Elliot Elanderin is surrounded by geniuses and talents you couldn’t find anywhere else. Compared to them, or anyone really, Elliot is pathetically ordinary, someone without a defining skill, role, or value. One day, after battling with his inner thoughts once more, he hears a sound that felt outside of this world. That sound leads him to a girl. A girl who embodies everything he wasn’t. Elliot begins to learn about not her talent, not her looks, but her. And along the way, she learns about him as well. As that friendship flourishes, he begins to learn more about the friends he was already surrounded by. New relations develop, both platonic and romantic. New struggles are revealed, both internal and external. With these new conflicts, Elliot’s life grows increasingly chaotic. After each one, more questions arise. Fortunately, he only had to answer one.

"You don't have to love me, or like me, just stay, please. That is all I need." She begged him desperately. Ezra gives her one last cold look before shaking her hand off his suit and leaving. An action that caused her to fall to the floor and hit her head on the table edge because of the force. Callista watched him walk away, pain splintering from an organ in her chest that should have long been dead and crushed to powdered pieces by now. It was then she really decided to end her love along with her dying body and soul. As luck would have it, she survived and pulled through her illness. Now it is time to show the world and the ex-husband who has now surprisingly become clingy what happens when a woman decides to give up loving.

Eight humans once became gods to protect the world. Humanity repaid them with betrayal. One by one, the Guardian Gods fell and turned to stone, and the creator cursed the world they failed to protect. Monsters rose from the shadows, kingdoms crumbled, and hope slowly faded from the land. Now the fallen gods lie buried and forgotten. But Princess Flora refuses to accept a dying world. Determined and fearless, she sets out on a dangerous journey to awaken the Guardian Gods and restore peace. Yet the deeper she searches for the truth behind their fall, the more she begins to realize that the gods’ fate—and the curse on the world—may hide a secret far more terrifying than anyone ever imagined.

Long ago, the earth was a perfect symphony of life, until human greed shattered the fragments of the Aether Stone—the magical core that sustained the world’s rotation. In an instant, time itself seemed to cease its ticking. The world was torn asunder; one half scorched to ashes by a relentless sun, while the other was trapped in an eternal frozen night beneath the shroud of the Blood Red Moon. In the frozen half of the world, every falling snowflake is a tear of regret for those who destroyed the earth. The remnants of humanity now seek refuge behind the Great Wall of PETERUM-MAN, a technological fortress harboring dark secrets behind every hiss of its steam engines. Nugia (Subject 009), an innocent youth, awakens with no memories. He is trained to become an instrument of demise, an emotionless Assassin under the iron fist of Lord Vier. Yet, within his veins pulses a primordial power known as the blue-Azure Sasmita—an anomaly capable of halting the very flow of time. Alongside his comrades in fate, Nugia is ensnared in a vortex of betrayal and horrific human experimentation. As the trails of his past begin to unravel through his mother’s secret recordings, Nugia realizes he is no mere soldier. He is the Heir of Sasmita, the ultimate key to reuniting the nine fragments of the Aether Stone. Will Nugia be able to rewind a dead world? Or will he crumble before the true dawn can ever shine upon the earth once more? "When this symphony is whole, the earth shall turn again. Yet beware, for the sunlight sometimes bears a curse far worse than the darkness."

“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.” In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality. Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts. Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another. Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts. “Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.” Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts. Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired. Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side. But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul? It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space. “S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?” “Why? Do you want to take their place?” “...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.” With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this! Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade. Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure. What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle. Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality? #BL #Fantasy #Modern #Anthropomorph Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Spicychili All right reserved.
