"You better stop the fucking prank, woman, and just pick up your phone and call your alpha! Otherwise, I will press the damn button and blow you up," A man with a very ugly-looking scar on his face said menacingly, holding a time bomb remote control in his hand and shaking it back and forth before a woman. In the last moment of her death, Rose looked into her heart and cried bitterly. "If I had a second chance, Rolan, I would never have agreed to marry you. I would never have had hopes in you." _____ On the day of her sister's wedding, Rose found herself thrust into an unexpected role as the bride when her sister failed to show up. Marrying a man who had loved her sister for three years, Rose held onto the fragile hope that he might one day care for her.

Every October, Elysian Ridge High School sheds its pristine facade as a peculiar energy settles over its ivy-covered walls. Known for its excellence and harmony, the school harbors no scandal—at least, not on the surface. But as the days grow shorter and shadows stretch longer, whispers begin to circulate, carried on the crisp autumn breeze. “Have you heard the rumor?” a girl whispers to her friend as they linger near the old south building, its windows boarded and walls weathered with age. Her friend shrugs, feigning indifference. “What rumor?” “The one about the demon,” the girl insists, her eyes darting toward the abandoned structure. “They say it’s caged in that building. And on Halloween, if you bring it a treat, it’ll grant you a wish. Any wish you want.” Her friend snorts, crossing her arms. “Right. Because everyone knows a demon’s a trustworthy wish-granter.” “It’s been a thing for years,” the girl presses on. “My cousin told me about it when she went here. Don’t you wonder what you’d wish for?” The question lingers in the air like a spell, their curiosity pulling them closer to the forbidden building. Yet, beneath their playful banter is a thread of unease. For decades, students have whispered about the demon, daring each other to seek it out. Some return with wild stories of impossible luck. Others leave the rumor behind, pretending it’s just a tale. But what none of them realize is that every wish carries a price—one far greater than anyone could anticipate. This Halloween, two friends will test the line between myth and reality. But when you ask the devil for a favor, you may get more than you bargained for. At Elysian Ridge High School, the real question isn’t whether the demon is real—it’s whether you're ready to face the trick or truth?

In a world where immortality comes at a harrowing cost, those afflicted with the Semi-Immortal disorder walk a perilous path between life and death. Gifted by the Goddess Amritkala, these individuals cheat death but pay dearly—each resurrection scars their minds, bodies, and souls. Viewed as unnatural abominations by society, Semi-Immortals face prejudice and violence, their existence deemed a threat to the natural order.

As their bond grows, Ivy learns from the Whitehorse Agency that she is not just any Semi-Immortal but a rare Wildling, with powers tied to her death and childhood. This revelation thrusts Ivy into the heart of the conflict between the Crossed Clan and the Whitehorse Agency, forcing her to confront her identity and the responsibilities her powers demand.
