Aika Misora never planned to fall in love. Not with the boy who sat alone on rooftops, or the one who pressed flowers instead of speaking his pain. But some stories don’t wait to be written — they bloom in silence, in shared glances, in the weight of unsaid things. After her mother’s quiet abandonment, Aika survives high school by keeping her heart zipped shut. Her world is routine: library lunches, hushed notebooks, and pretending everything’s fine. Until she meets Ren Hayashi, the quiet sketch-artist with rumors on his name and bruises in his smile. He doesn’t talk much. But his silence says everything. Drawn together by chance — and maybe fate — the two begin to orbit each other in secret places: the abandoned rooftop, the library’s back corner, the flower shop that smells like lost time. As seasons shift, so do they. Slowly. Tenderly. Terrifyingly. But love, even the gentle kind, brings buried pain to the surface. And when a long-unopened letter from Aika’s mother resurfaces, the wounds between them deepen — not enough to break, but enough to test whether two broken hearts can really hold each other. A soft, grief-tinged coming-of-age romance about first love, second chances, and what it means to stay — even when everything else leaves.

Synopsis: (inspired by Lord of the Mysteries). In the last breath of his previous life, Elias Thorne, a renowned historian and cryptographer, found himself facing the inexplicable: not the darkness of nothingness, but the gleam of a golden spiral — a galaxy collapsing within his own soul. Reincarnated in a world where the real bends to the symbolic, the protagonist awakens in the skin of a disinherited young commoner: Kaelen Vance, in a metropolis called Vaeldar, capital of the Syranthin empire, ruled by a Veiled Council that never shows its faces. There, reality is shaped by Paths of Awakening, mystical routes followed by those who dare to ingest the Primordial Symbols — fragments of absolute truths that break the mind and sculpt destiny. There are 25 Paths, each a mirror of universal archetypes, each demanding the price of sanity in exchange for power. As young Kaelen Vance adapts to the upside-down logic of a world where words carry arcane weight and names can kill, he discovers that someone—or something—brought him here for a purpose. An Invisible Theater stages his life.

Níth is not simply divine—she is born of four gods who shaped the highest realm. Dragon, Fox, Elve, Tree. Her bloodline grants her immense power: to create worlds, to destroy them, to bend time and gravity like thread. With eternity ahead of her, Níth chooses a different path: to walk through the realms in disguise, quietly shaping fate as she searches for the god she’s meant to become. Godhood isn’t a birthright—it’s a role to be earned. So Níth watches. She listens. She intervenes only when the scales tip too far. Sometimes with fire. Sometimes with mercy. Always with purpose. Along the way, she gathers companions—those who are drawn to her light, her shadow, or her silence. Her followers are not taken, but chosen—each member willingly stepping into her orbit, bringing their own truths, flaws, and desires. Each realm she enters has its own rules. Some mimic dreams. Others spiral into nightmares. She has played hero, villain, student, teacher. She has bought realms like real estate and judged some to ruins. Even gods are changed by what they touch. And Níth is not untouched. This is a story of karmic justice, divine discovery, and a love that spans across species, timelines, and lives. Níth will not only become the god of karma— She will embody it. And when she does, the realms will remember her name— in reverence, in desire, or in dread.

Space is vast, unfathomable—an ocean of shadows where humanity has advanced without understanding what lurks in its depths. Twenty-two years ago, a planet appeared out of nowhere. It was on no star map. It had no orbit, no light, no signs of life. Yet, it pulsed. Now, the ship Astraea-7 is on its way to meet it. The mission is clear. The crew knows why they are there. All except one. Haruto never asked to be part of this exploration. But his presence is no coincidence. He is the key—though he does not know it yet. As the ship crosses the planet’s threshold, signals distort, communication breaks, and the silence is filled with something else. Then, it happens. For the first time in human history, the abyss answers. And in the depths of the shadow, a voice whispers: “Welcome home.” Thus begins Haruto’s journey of self-discovery, where he will uncover the echoes of a forgotten past and the shadow of a future he has yet to understand.

As war ignites in the ice fields of the Arctic and alliances fracture under pressure, Niel and his team must confront the true nature of power, identity, and what it means to be free.
