Byul Park Love Is An Illusion

In a world where the ancient gods have been all but forgotten, the arrival of mana changes everything. Cities crumble as mythical creatures rise, technology fuses with magic, and new kingdoms vie for dominance. Amidst the chaos, one god stirs from oblivion. Auren, the forgotten god of illusions, awakens to find his name erased from history and his power diminished. Driven by a mix of bitterness and ambition, Auren seeks to reclaim his place among the divine by building a kingdom of his own—a realm forged from shadows, deception, and forgotten truths. His mastery of illusions becomes both his greatest weapon and the core of his new empire. But Auren’s journey is anything but solitary. He crosses paths with Isla, a mortal archaeologist driven by her insatiable curiosity for the past. Isla’s courage and intellect challenge Auren’s icy exterior, and their uneasy alliance begins to reveal cracks in both their facades. As their fates intertwine, Auren and Isla uncover a dangerous secret about the Mana Surge and the true nature of the gods. As rivals—both mortal and divine—rise against him, Auren must decide: will he seek vengeance on a world that abandoned him, or create a new legacy where mortals and gods alike can coexist? And as illusions begin to blur with reality, who will sit upon the Throne of Illusions when the dust settles?

After 'The incident' Marie's brother, August, was left in a precarious state. Due to being within the radius of the explosion and not dying, he's been hit with a 'curse' that has already turned his flesh to stone and is slowly making its way through the body. A quest system appeared to Marie one night saying that there is a chance that one of the quest rewards might have something that could cure her brother. From the very start the system seemed quite nice and lively, but the longer she has it and the closer to her goal she gets, the more she realises that no matter how lively, a system is still a robotic entity, right?

[Wouldn't recommend reading this. I butchered the starting premium chapter pretty badly, now this is just an incomplete memory.] [ Lynn, Sam and Mahone ] I put my t-shirt down, my hands shaking. I try to ignore them and stare at my reflection in the mirror. My hair color is dark brown and a vague hint of golden. My dad used to say that my eyes are ocean blue. A guy in my history class once said that I had perfect lips. Another guy said that I had a great body. They wanted to date me. And I dated few of them, too. I brush my fingers in my forehead. Then my dark, thick eyelashes. The side of my nose. My lips. I run my hand at my neck, then across my collarbone. Am I beautiful? Honestly, I don't know. Maybe I'm not. "You were wrong, Samlin Greenham." A voice inside my head suddenly whispers. "Calm down, Sammy," another voice whispers. It's the voice I loved. His voice is fading away. My hands start shake again, my breath rapidly quickening. I am losing control. I have to do something. "Goddammit!" I punch the mirror with my fist. It shatters into thousand pieces. My reflection has shattered into thousand pieces, too. The mirror now looks to me like an art. And my bloody knuckles. "I am sorry, Lynn. I can't promise you anymore, because you left me." I bite my lip to stop myself from crying. I won't cry. What's the point of crying? My sixth sense is suddenly alert. Somebody is watching me. I spin around. A guy is standing in front of the door, leaning against it. He wears a tight blue shirt, the sleeves folded. His black hair is ruffled and his hands are folded across his chest. The probable most amazing thing about him is his eyes. They are dark green. They are dangerous, beautiful and incredibly unreadable. And they are watching me.

Growing up on the streets of New Pandora after the usurption of Earth, John never expected anything good from life. He survived just to survive, no purpose in mind and no hope.

He was born without a Gift and a curse that painted his hair black and filled his eyes with a bleak darkness. Watch as he reaches for the apex of existence and uncovers the hidden plot behind his curse. "In this sixth life, I will have it all!"

His expression was noxious, that bought me to my knees. It was turbulent, so was difficult to see anything through them. But I saw. I saw. Him. Maybe it was too late but I saw.
