Osamu Tezuka Metropolis

In the sprawling metropolis of Arcanova, where skyscrapers pierce the clouds and neon lights mask the shadows, the world of humans is not as ordinary as it seems. Beneath the surface lies a hidden society of mythical beasts—dragons, phoenixes, kitsunes, and more—living among humanity, bound by an ancient truce known as the Aether Pact. Eighteen-year-old Kai Sullivan has always lived on the edge, scraping by as a courier for a shady magical delivery service. But his life takes a dangerous turn when he accidentally forms a forbidden life bond with Ignis, a rogue dragon prince exiled from his clan. This unbreakable connection thrusts Kai into a secret world of power struggles, ancient prophecies, and a brewing conflict that threatens to destroy the fragile balance between humans and beasts. Hunted by powerful clans and mistrusted by his own allies, Kai must uncover the truth behind the bond that ties him to Ignis. Together, they’ll navigate treacherous alliances, unravel the mysteries of the Veil Zones, and confront a prophecy that foretells the collapse of both worlds. As the lines between friend and foe blur, and the weight of destiny grows heavier, Kai and Ignis face an impossible choice: will they become the saviors of a broken world—or its ultimate destroyers?

``` —No voy a ser definida como una desviada sin lobo. —No seré un peón en los juegos que juegan los Alfas. —Y me niego a ser emparejada con el extraño que irrumpió en mi vida y puso todo patas arriba... —Solo que esa podría ser mi mayor desafío hasta ahora. Esas eran las palabras que Lyla se repetía a sí misma al salir de la gala anual de hombres lobo, empapada en su sudor y sus feromonas. Hace apenas unos días, era una adolescente feliz existiendo en el mundo humano —tratando de pasar la universidad e irse lejos, olvidar todo lo que había pasado y comenzar la vida de nuevo— pero ahora, está en medio de la gala, tendida en el suelo con sus deseos a la vista de todos y el Alfa Ramsey Kincaid —el líder Licano del Trono de la Luna Blanca— extendiendo sus manos hacia ella. Si lo acepta, deshonraría a su familia porque no está en condiciones de mezclarse con nadie, qué decir del líder Licano que estaba fuera de su alcance y si se niega, corre el riesgo de ser enviada a la prisión de la manada por no cuidarse mejor durante su celo —sí, era un crimen para ella estar sin un lobo. Pero cuando él la toca, algo dentro de ella se remueve... ¿Deseos? ¡Sí! ¿Poderes ocultos por la diosa de la Luna? ¡Sí!

His name was like a thunderclap in the business world, an object of admiration and envy for countless people. However, fate played an extremely cruel joke on him, and a sudden accident brought his life to an abrupt end. When Ye Chen regained consciousness again, he found himself miraculously reborn and thrown back sixty years ago. The world before his eyes was both strange and familiar. The dilapidated streets and simple houses all told of the poverty and backwardness of that era. And he himself was no longer the glorious business magnate but a despised, penniless gambler. His wife, the woman who had once accompanied him through thick and thin, was now full of disappointment and determination, only begging him to sign the divorce papers to completely break free from this painful marriage. His father-in-law and mother-in-law hated him to the core. The looks they gave him seemed as if they wanted to devour him alive, wishing he could vanish from this world and never appear in their lives again. What was worse, those loan sharks who lent money at exorbitant interest rates were like wolves, closely watching him and constantly issuing threatening ultimatums for him to pay back the money.

The world of Earth is a desolate, future version of the planet, ravaged by centuries of conflict, environmental collapse, and unchecked technological advancement. After the Great Fragmentation, humanity discovered the hidden power of Essentia, a primordial energy that resonates with the Auras radiated by all living beings. Essentia, once buried deep beneath the Earth's surface, now flows freely through the air and the land, influencing every creature’s existence. The Auras of individuals reflect their connection to Essentia—stronger Auras grant greater control over the energy, while weaker Auras leave their bearers vulnerable. Humanity, once on the brink of extinction due to nuclear wars, pandemics, and environmental destruction, began to harness this power, using it to rebuild civilizations. Yet, the Earth had changed. As cities rose and societies evolved, so too did the creatures of the world. Mutated beasts, once ordinary animals, gained terrifying powers by fusing their Auras with Essentia, creating terrifying creatures that roam the wastelands, seeking to destroy or dominate humanity. A thousand years after the Great Fragmentation, humanity stands at a fragile precipice. While some have rebuilt advanced societies within mega-cities protected by powerful Aura shields, others live in the wilds, fighting for survival against creatures whose Auras dwarf those of the human race. Deep beneath the ruins of Earth lies the Essentia Core, the source of all Essentia. It is said that whoever reaches the Core will have the power to reshape Earth’s future—restoring the planet or annihilating all life within it. Many have sought the Core, including rogue factions, corrupted warlords, and savage beasts, but none have returned.

However, during a raid by mutated beasts, Orion’s dormant Aura awakens unexpectedly when he comes into contact with a strange artifact—the Essentia Shard—a relic of the ancient world. His Aura possesses a unique power: the ability to absorb and evolve by resonating with the Auras of others, a gift that may hold the key to the future of humanity.
