Even with the recurrent dream of a queen in a golden armor as if weaved by the beams of the sun, Ayumi still did not think much about the world going on and on around her. Suddenly, one mysterious encounter after another, she finds herself in the center of a world... not quite the one she is used to living in, but rather a sheerer transparent realms where every element composing our world has its own territory and rules, it is own princess and power, it is own tragic story and betrayals along ancient mythical creatures and demons who roamed our world before they were sealed. Discovering she has been chosen as the reincarnation of a dead queen whose death left a battle between these elements unsettled, Ayumi must now end this battle so the queen can rest in peace and conclude her story. A mysterious past still plaguing the present and threatening the future, the five princess of nature each with their own missions and dreams... allies and enemies are made, trust is difficult, death is personified and love seems hopeless... Will Ayumi fall to the previous queen's same mistakes that led to her demise and the chaos beyond it or will she be able to navigate this world of memories safely, even after discovering many twisted truths?

The wealthy feed themselves on stolen experiences of first love, childhood wonder, and artistic genius, while the desperate poor auction off their most treasured moments to survive another day. Maya Cho navigates this morally bankrupt world as a licensed Memory Technician, legally aiding the transfer of human experiences through neural interface technology, all while secretly developing revolutionary memory synthesis that could topple the entire economic order. When the notorious memory collector Marcus Webb, heir to the Webb Memory Syndicate empire, discovers that Maya's younger sister Lin possesses an impossibly rare "pure memory"—an untouched childhood recollection of their deceased mother—he will stop at nothing to claim it. But Maya's desperate attempt to protect Lin thrusts her into a labyrinthine conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of corporate power. As Maya delves deeper into the underground memory markets, she uncovers a horrifying truth: synthetic memories aren't just being created—they're being weaponized to rewrite human consciousness itself. The Webb Syndicate, along with other memory cartels, has been systematically harvesting, editing, and implanting false memories to control populations, eliminate dissidents, and maintain their stranglehold on society. But Maya's greatest shock comes when she discovers that Marcus's younger brother, Adrian Webb—the enigmatic rebel who claims to love her—may be the architect of the most audacious memory heist in history. Their passionate romance becomes a deadly game of deception as Maya realizes she can't trust her own memories, her heart, or even her sense of identity. Racing against time before Lin's precious memory is harvested forever, Maya must navigate a world where nothing is real, everyone has ulterior motives, and the line between authentic human experience and manufactured fiction has been obliterated. In a society built on the commodification of the human soul, Maya will discover that the most dangerous memory of all might be the one she's forgotten about herself.

Bintang-bintang tua, redup, seolah sedang mengintip kisah baru yang hendak lahir dari dunia yang sekarat. Di tengah reruntuhan dan senyap itu, seorang bayi menangis untuk pertama kalinya. Tangisan yang memecah kebekuan. Tangisan yang tidak hanya mengabarkan kehidupan, tapi juga membangunkan kembali harapan—sesuatu yang telah lama mati di dunia ini. Kaeren memeluk bayi itu dengan tangan yang masih berlumur darah, bukan dari luka perang, tapi dari perjuangan menolong sang istri yang baru saja melahirkan.

> "What if you woke up with no name, no memory—and a voice in your head whispering that you killed someone?" A man wakes up in a decaying apartment with no identity and no face in the mirror. His throat burns like it’s been strangled, and the only clue to who he is lies in a half-burnt photograph of a woman he doesn't recognize. Scrawled on the back are five chilling words: "You chose to forget her." As he wanders through a rain-soaked city twisted by shadows, strangers call him by different names. Some fear him. Others pity him. But no one knows the truth—not even him. Haunted by hallucinations, fragmented dreams, and the constant pressure of a hand he cannot see on his throat, he begins to unravel a trail of clues that lead to a murder... and possibly a version of himself he doesn't want to meet. Is he a killer running from guilt—or a pawn in someone else’s game of revenge and memory? In a city where mirrors lie and the past rewrites itself, uncovering the truth may cost him more than his mind.

But the price of finding what was lost may be losing yourself entirely. And some bridges, once crossed, never let you back. That's a little spooky, isn't it? Hehe!
