In a world where reality morphs into a waking nightmare, a young man is torn from modern comforts and thrust into a perilous, shadowy realm. He awakens in ancient ruins within a forest filled with living plants that appear to watch him. Clad in unfamiliar Victorian clothing and with no memory of his arrival, he faces a desperate struggle for survival against grotesque, otherworldly monsters. A terrifying encounter forces him to flee, leading him to a mysterious pillar among the ruins. Unlike anything else in this eerie place, the pillar seems to ward off the horrors lurking around. In search of answers, he touches it, triggering a series of events that shatter his grasp on reality. He is instantly transported to a vast battlefield strewn with colossal gates and shattered mountains—a testament to an ancient war between unimaginable forces. The ruins bear cryptic symbols offering glimpses of forbidden knowledge. Driven by curiosity, he pushes against the gates, only to endure excruciating pain as he nears death, before being pulled into a chasm of darkness. Yet, death spares him. He awakens in a tranquil, otherworldly void, surrounded by luminous pillars of light beneath an infinite cosmos. His broken body is miraculously healed, drawing him toward an awe-inspiring throne. Compelled by an unseen force, he sits, and in that instant, the stars, galaxies, and secrets of the universe flood into him, unlocking a power that could shape his destiny in unimaginable ways. As he struggles to understand his newfound strength, questions arise: What is this strange realm? Who, or what, brought him here? With each revelation, he delves deeper into the mysteries of this enigmatic world. Are the horrors he faces mere fragments of a greater truth? Or is he the key to a conflict older and grander than he can fathom? One thing is clear: this is no ordinary survival journey. It is a narrative of power, gods, and the fragile balance of worlds—where the truths he seeks might cost him everything he cherishes.

With dark entities slipping through the Veil and archmages scheming for power, Lacrima realizes that to save the world from impending doom, he may have to surrender to a fate he has fought to escape—a fate that may cost him his freedom, his sanity, and even his soul.

She even had to stop schooling to work and raise her brothers!” Her foster father said, “Still, we’ve raised her all her life, and our family can afford to feed another. Now that she’s threatening suicide, let’s just let her stay.” Chu Ning rushed out of the ward. “I’ll leave! I’ll discharge today and go back at once. I’m not a member of the Ye family, so I have no reason to insist on staying.” Her foster mother was surprised, and her foster father was puzzled. Chu Ning ignored them. After knowing how the original plot went, she set three goals for herself. One, to stay away from the female lead! Two, to stay away from the male lead! Three, to live a good life in the slums! Yet, to her surprise, after being successfully abandoned by the Ye family, her biological brothers all became tycoons in their respective industries. Chu Ning effortlessly made a comeback all of a sudden! Even the male lead who had called off their marriage now forced her into a corner, saying, “Ningning, be mine!”

In a world where the line between freedom and control is drawn by towering walls and unseen systems, Caius Ward and his childhood friends, Elian and Rivan Vale, discover the art of parkour. What starts as a simple thrill becomes an obsession, a way of life. They train relentlessly, learning to push their bodies and minds beyond the limits of ordinary humans, finding freedom in the flow of movement. Along the way, they attract other like-minded individuals, forming a group that believes in perfecting the art of parkour—not just as a sport, but as a form of expression and defiance. Unbeknownst to them, their intense training awakens something deep within. Their mental resilience, honed through the constant danger of life-or-death jumps, leads to the emergence of quasi-superhuman abilities. Caius becomes the embodiment of power and flow, while Elian’s analytical mind sharpens to an almost preternatural edge. Together, their group moves unseen, using their newfound skills to expose the rot within society’s highest ranks. As they delve deeper, they uncover the existence of a shadowy family with ties to governments and criminal underworlds, manipulating global events for their own gain. What began as a passion for parkour turns into a mission to bring down this corrupt empire from the shadows. But as they expose dangerous secrets, the group must confront not only external enemies but also the limits of their own abilities—and the cost of the power they’ve awakened.
