Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet: "I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf." "You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles." "But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.' Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Being abandoned by his very own blood, the world stripped him of everything, his glory, his weapon, his beloved and even his name was taken away. He tried to reclaim what were rightfully his but the people already treated him as an outcast. With nothing left to do, he strode towards the place of no return and as he reached the deepest part by accident, he found a sealed casket with an unusual question engraved on its lid. 'If the world's destruction would be put in the palm of your hand, how would it end?' Thousands of choices, hundreds of possibilities, and tens of answers, yet just one of these was certain. "I'll carve it with my enemies' blood," he uttered underneath the moonless sky. On his hand was a blade made of glass, dripping with a crimson, sticky substance. In an era where war was an everyday occurrence and death was nothing but a mere consequence of being weak, his journey towards the labyrinth of revenge had begun.

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent. Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities. Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail. Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek. Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal. But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

Hollow Crown of the Dying Star The night Ren's mother died, the sky cracked open. No one else saw it—just him. A fracture in the stars, spreading like shattered glass. And from that abyss, something looked back. Then it spoke. "Do you want to live?" Now, Ren is no longer human. His reflection moves on its own. His eyes are black voids, writhing with unseen horrors.

He was on stage one second, accepting his third consecutive Best Actor award. The next, he was dead—crushed by a falling glass stage light in a tragically ungraceful demise.

Winne Auston tightened her grip on the glass of bourbon, her nails pressing against the cool surface. The soft hum of jazz music filled the dimly lit lounge, the kind of place where secrets felt safe. She was waiting, as he instructed. Adam Sly was never late.

And a choice that will decide the fate of the last city on Earth.

The end of the world didn’t come with fire, war, or a nuclear countdown. It came with a System Notification. One moment, Kang Hyun-woo was just another office worker, stuck in a routine life. The next, the sky fractured like glass, revealing dungeons, monsters, and floating towers from other dimensions. Earth wasn’t alone anymore. The System had arrived, merging realities, game worlds, and forgotten dimensions into one. Millions of people vanished into Tutorial Towers, given powerful classes to survive the apocalypse. But Hyun-woo? He was left behind. He wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t guided. The System hesitated, as if he wasn’t supposed to exist. Then, the message appeared. > [UNREGISTERED ENTITY DETECTED. PROCESSING… PROCESSING…] [CLASS ASSIGNED: SUMMONER.] [TITLE ACQUIRED: HE WHO SUMMONS THE END.] Summoner. A class considered weak, barely useful. Three starting summons—a slime, a wolf pup, and a raven. But then Hyun-woo realized something terrifying. The System didn’t choose him. He chose it. Unfinished words from a novel he once wrote—the worlds, the monsters, the dungeons—they weren’t random. They were his. And if that was true… Then he was the one who summoned the end of the world. Now, trapped in a collapsing reality, hunted by both monsters and humans, Hyun-woo must evolve, adapt, and uncover the truth. Because if he doesn’t figure out the System’s real purpose… Then he won’t just die. He’ll watch as everything he created destroys itself.

Anna Maria was perfect. Gabrielle Nandia was not. Anna Maria had the sweetest of smiles, with a presence that purified upon arrival. Gabrielle did not. She was always alone and gloomy, and the only thing that followed her were bad rumors. That day, Anna Maria was in a bad mood and wanted to eat alone. She glanced out of the window from the cafeteria. Outside, a figure sat under the tree, eating. Every bite was framed with a resplendent expression, which shone so brightly it blinded her. There was no smile, but the expression shown was as ephemeral as ice, melting before one could fully grasp the allure of its sweetness. Anna Maria blinked, scrubbing her eyes and readjusting her glasses to make sure of what she had seen, but the occupant had left before she could tell who it was. She searched for a week and finally found her—Gabrielle Nandia. She grasped the palm of the startled girl with a bewitching smile. "Gabrielle, will you please be my muse?"
