Summertime Sadness Live

Evil、 sadistic love、CEO、 reunion after parting ways

For twenty years, Raiten has been bound to the Thunder Tower and made the enslaved guardian of his clan's northern pillar. Once, he dreamed of freedom and fought for a friend he believed in. Now, she’s returned—a hero, wielding the power he stole for her. The only question that remains is, how will Raiten kill her? Will he choose forgiveness and carve for himself a new life, beyond the tower, beyond the clan? Or, will he sink in the depraved depths of bloody vengeance? Perhaps a bit of both.

Dawn finishes her novel after years of hard work, only left with the words, 'The End' illuminating her dark room as she laments on her journey being over. The characters she loved so dearly would be leaving her now, and so lost in thought she decides there's nothing a good nap couldn't solve. Unfortunately for her, after a bizarre dream she finds out that, indeed, there are some things a good nap can't solve.

In this modern mythological tale, Dhruv, an unsuspecting mortal, finds himself in Vaikuntha, questioning whether this is truly the end of his journey. Instead of peace, he meets a mysterious man in a suit, who ultimately reveals that Dhruv cannot enter heaven due to "arrows of regret"—a metaphor for his unfulfilled purpose. Offered a chance to return to Earth for 90 days to make amends, Dhruv agrees to the terms, unaware that the mysterious man is none other than Lord Vishnu in disguise. Upon accepting the deal, Dhruv embarks on a chaotic and humorous journey through the underworld, meeting Yamaraj, the god of death, and Gorgo, a nervous demon with horns, who comically reacts to Dhruv's presence as though he's a harbinger of disaster. As Dhruv navigates the strange, labyrinthine bureaucracy of the underworld and the daunting task of creating a "happy ending" for himself, he finds himself in an unusual mix of existential crises, dark humor, and supernatural chaos. With gods in disguise, reluctant demon assistants, and divine missions laced with humor, Dhruv's journey becomes one of discovering the true meaning of life, death, and purpose. This story is a refreshing take on mythology, where the mortal and the divine collide in unexpected and often hilarious ways, challenging Dhruv to find his own redemption and bring fulfillment to his life's story...

They too had grown tired of the real world and fled into the ones they concocted in their imaginations. Together, they put together a world - a FANTASY of their own making. Unbeknownst to them, much like with fictional characters bound by tropes they so love, they'd soon be met with a similar fate. On one viciously hot summer morning, she awoke with a shock. Sweat running down her back, her eyes quickly scanned her surroundings. Trees, grass, and a bright blue sky. The sound of insects chirping about and animals crying in the distance. The sun burned at the skin on her cheek. "What?" She muttered, confused. Her eyes eventually were drawn to a corner of her vision where a transparent screen manifested to meet her gaze. The words written on the screen were plain and simple. QUEST ACQUIRED: Deny their FANTASY. You will be rewarded for every step of progress you make.
