"This land was once promised... to the Children of Light. But that promise was betrayed— and they were cast into a forgotten dimension." Beneath the stillness of Paragon’s world, the echoes of an ancient prophecy have begun to resound once more. The Throne of the Heavens has spoken— the children of the past shall return, to claim their right over the Promised Land. They do not come as shadows of what once was— but as the spearhead of a new fate. Yet their arrival is not the only omen. The Blessings have descended, bound to the chosen, standing as witness that destiny will move once more— amidst burning fire and fading hope. For in the end... "I’m sorry if my English is not very clear or easy to understand." -Author-

Aethelgard was swallowed by the grey. The Void, a cosmic imbalance twisted into a suffocating reality, has claimed the world, leaving behind only silence, ash, and forgotten ruins. Within this desolate landscape, a small child named Kael awakens, the sole survivor of a village erased from existence. Traumatized and alone, his only companion is a warm, guiding presence he names Vispera – a whisper of light and life in the all-consuming darkness. But Kael is not just a survivor; he is a vessel. Within him lies a raw, uncontrollable power, a pure light born from the Cosmic Equilibrium's desperate struggle against the Void. This power can push back the grey, repel its monstrous manifestations, and perhaps, restore what was lost. Yet, every time the light flares, Kael pays a devastating price – the Bedel. It steals his memories, his emotions, his fundamental awareness, leaving behind aching voids in his soul. Found by a wary group of survivors in a crumbling sanctuary, Kael's secret is revealed, forcing them to confront the terrifying choice: is the child a cursed harbinger of destruction, or their only hope against the Void and its tyrannical master, Lord Corvus? Bound by his tragic power and the ever-growing Debt of Light, Kael must learn to survive in a world that steals not just lives, but souls.

The world is ruled by emotion. Hikari is one of those children. Branded as kynenn, he’s sentenced to fight in a tournament where only one survivor is allowed. But before he ever steps into the arena, his life is dismantled piece by piece by the only man he would ever truly come to hate.

When two broken souls meet in the silence of a world that’s never been kind, love becomes both a curse and a sanctuary. Arin, a guarded heir with a past full of secrets, and Lucien, a runaway part time fighter and a painter hiding from pain, are thrown together by fate—and desperation. Their paths collide when Arin offers Lucien shelter from a storm, only to find himself unraveling under the boy’s quiet gaze and gentle touch.

Yeri never asked for a life like this. Quiet and gentle, she was just trying to survive the cruelty of Soojin — a woman who treated her like a pawn in a game of power. In a mansion full of lies, Yeri learned how to stay invisible, how to carry pain with grace. Until one night, during a lavish party, everything changed. When Yunjun — the cold, distant mafia heir — saw someone lay a hand on her, something in him snapped. What started as protection soon cracked open the walls he’d spent years building. But falling in love wasn't simple. Yunjun wasn’t just a man with secrets—he was a man at war with himself. Their fragile bond was tested at every turn: Soojin’s jealousy spiraled into violence, leaving Yeri broken and bruised in a hospital bed. Just as healing began, Yunjun’s past came crashing in, and Yeri was ripped away—kidnapped and tortured by Jack, his ruthless enemy. But Yeri wasn’t just a victim. She was a fighter. And even in the darkest moments, she held on—to hope, to love, to the belief that someone would come for her. Yunjun did. Fueled by rage, guilt, and a love he could no longer ignore, he brought Jack to his knees. But revenge couldn’t erase the scars. The real battle was learning how to be there for Yeri—not as a protector, but as a partner. Now, with blood behind them and healing ahead, Yeri and Yunjun stand not as broken people—but as two souls who chose each other in the aftermath. Their story isn’t perfect. It’s *real.*
