Star Darlings

Haunted by nightmares of his past, Kim Min-joon is forced to confront his demons when a serial killer emerges, replicating the same modus operandi as the murderer who killed his friend 20 years ago. The only clue is a distinctive four-sided star symbol left at each crime scene, eerily matching the mark on the attacker's hand that Min-joon saw before losing consciousness two decades ago. As the body count rises, Min-joon becomes obsessed with tracking down the killer, driven by a mix of guilt, revenge, and redemption. But with each step closer to the truth, Min-joon's own dark past begins to unravel, threatening to destroy everything he holds dear.

“On a certain day, To an uncertain parent, A child of both male and female shall be born, Under all the stars in the sky, And they shall unite all nations as one, Bringing peace forevermore.” In a world of myth and magic, torn by war and desire, such a prophecy was made foretelling the coming of a messiah that shall unify all under their banner. On the promised day, a disgraced, pregnant noblewoman fled her country to seek peace and shelter away from a great war. On the run, she gave birth to a beautiful child who claimed to be the future king. From that day forth, the child set out to fulfill their destiny and find out what it truly means to be a king and savior.

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

He was a man of immense power and striking beauty, nobly aloof and coldly proud. One day, a bodyguard reported, "Young Master, the Young Mistress has been falsely accused of meddling in someone else's relationship!" "Expose the video of the other party breaking the hidden rules." "Young Master, the Young Mistress has run away from home!" "Pack up immediately, I'm going with her." "Young Master, the Young Mistress has gone to a matchmaking event!" The man was furious, seizing her cheeks in his hand, "Still daring to go on blind dates?" 【After Marriage】Qiao An propped her chin with her hand, gazing at the handsome man in the apron, her voice languid, "Husband~ Is there anything you can't do?" The man's slender fingers fed her the peeled shrimp, "Yes, I can't leave you." 【Little Bun】 After being disciplined by dad's family law, little Bun's eyes brimmed with tears, "Mommy, am I still your Baobei? The kind that you can't bear to scold when I make a mistake, the kind you soften and hug me?" (Heartwarming Petting)

In a distant future, humanity has achieved the incredible feat of conquering the stars, establishing vibrant colonies across galaxies. Yet, amid this grand pursuit of exploration and technological advancement, people have sadly lost touch with the essence of what it means to be human—compassion, connection, and the intricate beauty of emotional experiences. Against this backdrop, we follow Lyra, an adventurous young man with dreams of exploring the cosmos. Eager to uncover the universe's mysteries, he is selected for a prestigious mission to Elysium, an enigmatic planet cloaked in legends and whispered tales of an ancient civilization that once thrived there. Upon the team's arrival on Elysium, they are immediately enchanted by its breathtaking landscapes—towering crystalline mountains, iridescent forests, and vibrant skies that shift colors with the time of day. As they establish their research base, Lyra encounters an extraordinary artifact: a shimmering, ethereal orb pulsating with a soft light. This mesmerizing orb possesses an uncanny ability to project vivid images drawn from the memories of the planet’s long-gone inhabitants. As Lyra interacts with the orb, he is whisked away through time, witnessing poignant and powerful scenes—lovers embracing beneath the glow of two setting suns, smiles shared during moments of triumph and joy, and heart-wrenching farewells that echo a universal sense of loss. Each memory reveals the depth of human emotions, illustrating connections that transcend time and space, reminding Lyra of the warmth and complexity that come with genuine relationships. Captivated by these hauntingly beautiful portrayals, Lyra begins to question the sterile, disconnected world he has left behind. His fellow team members notice his growing attachment to the artifact and its evocative memories. Drawn in by the allure of this lost civilization, they engage in deep discussions about the meaning of profound feeling—love and loss. Through these exchanges, Lyra and his team embark on a transformative journey of introspection, grappling with the existential emptiness that has seeped into their technologically advanced society. With every new memory, the weight of their reality presses down on Lyra. He faces a pivotal choice: should he return to the cold and alienating world of human achievement, where genuine connection feels nearly impossible? Or should he embrace the emotional resonance he has discovered on Elysium, possibly seeking a new, more meaningful existence among the stars, inspired by the love and longing of those who came before him? This struggle lies at the heart of Lyra’s journey—a quest not only for exploration in the vast universe but also for rediscovering what it truly means to be human. As the echoes of the past linger in his heart and mind, he must choose a path that will define his identity and the legacy he wishes to leave behind.

Author’s Note: I'm a new writer, so please don't expect exceptional work right away. Aaron is an embarrassment to the Solarius family. Though his S+ rank talent is remarkable, it’s considered shameful compared to the exceptional potential of other heirs from the 9 great houses. His life took a drastic turn after his awakening. Despite suffering, he still craved greatness, the greatness his mother, Elowen, used to tell him he could achieve. He longed to hear her speak of him with pride again, to hear her brag about him like she used to. He worked harder than any other heir, but he couldn’t surpass them despite his efforts. That didn’t matter to him—he believed that he would break free from the shackles placed on him one day. But the reality was far more complicated. He woke up in an unfamiliar room, bloodied and confused, and suddenly memories that felt like his own began to surface, memories of living in a different world and reading a book. A book about this world: as these fragments of memories coalesced, Aaron realized the painful truth: today was the day his family had forsaken him for a crime he wasn’t sure he’d committed. Did he commit the crime? Will he break his shackles? How? Can he achieve the greatness he’s always dreamed of?

Magic academy. Male and female lead characters. A world of sword and magic like any that exist, the only difference is the ones in it and the ones telling it. *Almost all chapters are under 1000 words, more in case it's an interesting story that should not be interrupted by difference in Chapter *No One 17 and Under Admitted because there is some erotic and steamy description in the story and because I'm not sure what the difference between Restricted means compared to No One 17 and Under Admitted, so better be safe than sorry. * All characters are not underage unless stated otherwise, and seriously this is a fantasy setting so no one looks their age. The story may or may not continue, chapters release are not predetermined so it will be short(probably) Any mention of people, places, negative terms/slang, etc that are somehow related to the real world one are should be assumed to be purely coincidence. * New and inexperience hence the long description (Very sorry, but thanks for reading)
