Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

Though aging and ill, he possesses extraordinary combat skills and deep wisdom about threats facing the motherland. ## Plot Summary Young Arjun lives a secluded life in the forest with his grandfather Devavrath, undergoing rigorous training in archery and combat. When his grandfather falls ill, Arjun ventures into forbidden territory to gather rare medicinal herbs, despite warnings about the dangers that lurk there. In the tiger's domain, Arjun encounters a fierce tigress protecting her two cubs. The tigress, already wounded from territorial battles and desperate to protect her young, attacks the intruder. Faced with an impossible choice, Arjun reluctantly kills the tigress in self-defense but saves her orphaned cubs, bringing them home to raise as his own responsibility. This act of compassion comes with a price - Devavrath demands that Arjun double his training efforts. Through increasingly challenging exercises, including hitting targets while dodging his grandfather's attacks, Arjun's skills are pushed to their limits. As the training intensifies, Devavrath reveals a shocking truth: Arjun is not just a forest dweller but a Kshatriya with a destined role to protect Bharath from foreign threats that are gathering in the shadows.

They say the greatest discovery is born out of passion, and that was the spark of her journey. Linda Song, a modern day assistant at an elite auction house, stumbled upon an unexpected page in the inventory ledger, a page she had no recollection of ever seeing or creating. It described a relic renowned for its time-traveling ability in the past. Driven by curiosity to decipher if such a relic truly existed, and what secrets it holds if it does, she makes her way into the store-keep and to her greatest surprise, there it stood...just as it was described in the ledger.

Linda carries the small stone under the sun rays filtering through the storeroom window to get a better view. Suddenly, it pulsed and a blue fluorescent light erupted from the relic, engulfing Linda. And in an instant, the modern world surrounding her vanished. She was no longer Linda Song but a maid within the Inner Palace of a rising dynasty, caught between ambitious concubines and a simmering political conspiracy.

There are places not meant for humans. Places that live in whispers, flicker in dreams, and open only when the world sleeps. They say Velmoire appears after midnight, cloaked in mist, beyond the edge of time itself. A city ruled by moonlight and blood, where mortals are forbidden, and vampires dance in silence. At the heart of this secret realm stands a palace carved from obsidian and shadows — Velmoire Palace. It is not a palace of kings or queens. It is a palace of rules. Of desire. Of secrets too old to be spoken aloud. And at its throne stands a man with eyes like winter, and a heart long buried beneath centuries — Kael Virell, the richest and most feared vampire in Velmoire. The man who has never once smiled for a human. The man who once swore he’d never feel again. Until she stepped into his world. Not with grace. Not with magic. But with chaos. And sarcasm. And a curse in her blood she didn’t even know she carried. Her name was Lyria Moen — and she was never meant to be there. She was not a queen. Not a warrior. Just… a girl with tired shoes and a spine that refused to bend. And yet, the moment she crossed through that elevator, the Palace Beyond Midnight changed. The mirrors whispered. The walls pulsed. The air thickened. Because sometimes, the most dangerous love stories don’t begin with fate. They begin with mistakes. And in Velmoire, Mistakes are not forgiven.
