Lookism Eli

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

In a world where magic and technology intertwine, where gods walk among mortals and celestial forces dictate the fate of civilizations, Elian Drayven stands as an anomaly—an enigma hidden in plain sight. Born with magic powerful enough to rival the gods themselves, his abilities remain locked behind an intricate system, demanding growth and mastery before he can wield his full potential. Raised in the futuristic city of Elyndria, Elian is a student at Astralis Academy, a prestigious institution that molds the strongest warriors and spellcasters. Yet, unbeknownst to his peers, he harbors a secret that could shake the foundations of the world. Only Eve, his ever-present AI companion, knows the truth: Elian is more than just a prodigy—he is a threat to the very balance of power. When a sudden surge of uncontrolled energy draws the attention of the Celestial Sanctum, an elite governing force that monitors magical anomalies, Elian finds himself on the precipice of discovery. As factions within Elyndria mobilize to uncover the source of this mysterious disturbance, powerful figures begin to take notice—some seeking to eliminate him, others eager to use him as a weapon. Haunted by the remnants of a past war that claimed his parents, pursued by forces that seek to either control or destroy him, Elian must navigate a treacherous path filled with ancient secrets, deadly adversaries, and an unfolding prophecy that ties his fate to the forgotten history of the gods. As he levels up and unlocks the dormant powers within him, Elian must decide: will he remain hidden in the shadows, or will he rise and forge his own legend—one that defies both fate and the gods themselves? ---

One day, she received the holy mission to unseal her Goddess Master. She got her priorities straight. However... The pets she adopted became the Demon Kings, capable of suppressing the world. The tree she planted became the World Tree, forming a bridge between heaven and earth. The passerby who received enlightenment from her became the Sage who led the entire generation. The disciples she nurtured became bigshots known across the three worlds. When she looked back... The street painter who pestered her for her handicrafts and paintings turned out to be a God. The young priestess she recruited was actually the number one saintess from the Divine World. She was known as the holy saintess. Yet, she still referred to herself as a mortal.
