Julius didn’t know what to expect when he stood in front of the grandiose gates, luscious fields, and beautiful students dressed in their pristine uniforms looking like a million bucks. He told himself that he wouldn’t get involved with anyone and that he’d keep his head down since the chances of him moving again were quite high. He didn’t expect to find himself to be so entranced with the dorm leader Agares Montgomery, the most handsome boy he’d ever seen. “So what’s Agares really like?” Julius asked. Silas grinned mischievously. “That’s a tough one.” Julius noticed the sly smile on Silas’s face and realized he’d been teased. “Just kidding~” Silas said, chuckling. “Well, Agares is a bit of a mystery. He’s strict but has a laid-back side too. He’s cold most of the time but can be surprisingly kind in rare moments?” Julius couldn’t help but laugh at the contradictory description. “Why do you make it sound like you’re unsure?” “Because he really is a puzzle. He’s not a bad guy, though. He keeps to himself and mainly communicates through the vice leader, Epaphras. He’s insanely popular, not just here but at Saint Ambracia Academy too. There have been incidents where girls from the academy tried to sneak into East Laurence just to see him. It’s crazy.” “Anyway,” Silas said, “you probably won’t interact with him much unless absolutely necessary, so don’t stress too much about it.” That should’ve been the case, and yet, he found himself interacting with the dark haired boy more and more, his admiration slowly started to change into something more. “Do I like him?” He couldn’t help but ask himself. ………………….. Avondale, a city of privilege and prestige, high school junior Julius Loriana steps through the grand gates of East Laurence Preparatory School, a renowned institution for the elite.

As Julius grapples with his resolve to remain detached, he finds himself drawn into a whirlwind of emotions that transforms his mundane existence into something exhilarating. Follow the love story between a shy boy and his socially inept senior as they navigate through the pains of love, friendship and the hell that is known as high school. …………………………… A little extra note: This is a sweet love story, a bit of a slow burn but definitely worth getting into.. Each chapter includes a song and I would definitely recommend you listen to the song (on low volume of course) while reading. You get to feel the full Julius Loriana experience by listening to the music he’s also listening to with each chapter. If this story happens to curry your fancy, then please give it a try, I promise it won’t disappoint (≧∀≦) !

Alliances forged in desperation and shattered by betrayal became the norm. Countries chose sides not for justice, but for survival. The war wasn’t just about ideologies; it was about greed, fear, and the cruel inevitability of power. Nuclear fire rained from the skies, reducing cities to shadows of ash. The atmosphere grew toxic, the land barren, and the oceans poisoned. Humanity had finally created its perfect apocalypse. Humans turned against humans. Neighbors became predators. Survival became a blood-soaked art. Resources. Shelter. Safety. No price was too high. No act too savage. "I kill you before you kill me" became the only rule that mattered. No one cared who lit the first match or why. Right and wrong dissolved into the radioactive fog. The war was universal, relentless, and final. The year is 2084. The world lies broken, steeped in chaos. And from the ruins, a Devil was born.

In a world on the brink of collapse, where the essence of magic is fading and ancient technology is slowly disappearing, Aerth is torn apart by endless war. Aetherium, the lifeblood of magic and innovation, is dwindling, leaving the Eastern and Western factions in a desperate struggle for survival. The West is ruled by The Despot, a cruel and enigmatic tyrant who has built his power on fear, greed, and suffering. With the help of his cunning right-hand man, Euros, The Despot has shattered the fragile peace between the two factions, wreaking havoc in the East through manipulation and betrayal. Distrust has spread among the Eastern leaders, and once-solid alliances are fractured by internal conflict. Amidst this devastation, rumors of a mysterious figure begin to circulate—a man whose origins are connected to a legendary land long thought to be myth. His presence is inexplicable, his movements swift and unpredictable. Shrouded in secrecy, he works to thwart The Despot’s plans with uncanny precision. Even Euros’ famed intelligence network has failed to uncover his identity. Who is this mysterious figure? Is he truly from a legendary land known only in folklore, or is he a master of disguise, a man forged by the world's ruin? As the last hope of the East, Princess Cino Shikai, fights to defend her people, this man's true purpose is in question—savior or harbinger of ruin? His actions could determine the course of the war, but whether they lead to salvation or annihilation remains a mystery. "The Disguise of a Man from a Mystical Legendary Land in a Ruined World" presents a tale of intrigue, rebellion, and the search for hope in a world where legend intersects with reality, and every choice carries the weight of civilization's survival.
