I’ve killed thousands before, in a world far from this one, and I’ll kill thousands more before I’m done. This place is nothing new—just another hunting ground, filled with the same fragile, oblivious prey. They scream the same, beg the same, die the same. Their fear tastes just as sweet. With my gift, I can be anyone and I can be anywhere. By the time they realize what I am, they’ll already be bleeding out in my hands. ——— Art on cover is by u/tj_ill on Reddit (I can take it down!

Where am I? What is this place?" Lucien said, bewildered at the unfamiliar surroundings. He remembered he was lying on his bed, now he was also lying on a bed, but the mat was made of unknown leaves, not like the foam on his bed. "Ding! Congratulations!" "The Many Children Many Blessing System is successfully integrated." Hearing the voice in his mind, he was shocked! He couldn't believe it. After all, the system was the golden finger of the transmigrators, their key to success in a new world. "Wait, wait. Transmigrator?" he said, looking around him. He looked at his hand, his fingers slender and strong, a far cry from the weak, trembling hands he had on Earth. He tried to stand up, and although this body was still weak, he felt that it was much stronger. "Does that mean I was transmigrated?" He looked around, searching for a mirror, but he found nothing. But he found a mug made of wood, full of water, on a small table made of bamboo beside him. He looked at the mug, his eyes widened in surprise. He didn't recognize the one in the reflection on the water, but he knew that it was him. The reflection on the mug has blonde hair,clear brown eyes and a handsome face.

    Stephen, a young novelist who wants to get rich and popular. But somehow, his novels aren't getting that much of an attention and people only read it and left without a rating and comments.     Stephen has an idea, is to turn his novel into comics so that he could really express and show to the people what he wanted them to see.

He wished for a free hire. He searched and searched throughout the internet, finding a free for hire artist.     But there's no one to find. One night, there, he found Tina, doing a free novel to comic adaptation. But the comments are something fishy, scandals of Tina. But Stephen ignored and hired her.     This is where their story starts. Stephen, a good writer and Tina, a great artist combo. Wouldn't that be an easy rich? No, instead of getting rich that easily, a lot of problems will get in their way.

In some worlds, magic is a mere fantasy—where humans live without powers. In others, like mine, magic is an undeniable reality. But in my world, there's a twist: only males are supposed to have magic. That is, until I was born. In the kingdom of Dalatine, each newborn's eyes reveal their magical ability and their allegiance to a church—grey for wind, blue for water, hazel for earth, red for fire, yellow for light, and black for dark. But my eyes are golden, a colour no one has ever seen before. And with that, my fate was sealed. Feared of my very existence and hated for my gender, I was locked away in my family's mansion for fifteen years, a prisoner within an unbreakable barrier. The barrier not only kept me from the world—it suppressed my magic and cloaked my true appearance from those who cared for me. Until one fateful day, a stranger with fiery red eyes saw through the illusion. “You really do have beautiful eyes,” he said, shattering the silence of my life. That moment set me free—free from the mansion, free from the illusion. For the first time, I could step into the world I’d dreamed of: the Magic Academy. But reality is far more dangerous than dreams. With enemies lurking in the shadows and my very existence a threat to the kingdom, I must uncover the truth about my power—and about who I truly am—before it's too late. The question is, can I survive long enough to unravel the tangled web of secrets, lies, and deadly conspiracies?
