> The System doesn’t offer rewards. It records your sins. When Kai wakes up in a corpse pit, there’s only one message blinking in his vision: [Welcome to the Sin Log System.] [Mission 1: Confess what you did to deserve this.] No power-ups. No levels. No mercy. Every action he takes—every lie, betrayal, or violent act—is carved into his soul. The only way forward is through punishment. And the more he tries to survive, the more the System remembers… things Kai swore he never did. But the worst part? The missions don’t come from the System. They come from the people he hurt—whether he remembers them or not. --- In a world where memory is currency and guilt is power, Kai must uncover who he really was… before the System erases who he’s becoming. Will he earn redemption— or become the villain in someone else’s story forever?

Aurora Stone: My family gave me their love, trust, undivided attention— everything. And when I needed them the most they snatched it all away. They left me with nothing but hollow silence. My best friend betrayed me. Hurt me. My mate rejected me. To them, I was nothing but a precious jewel— something that could make them rich and raise their status in society. But once I lost my honor, I was worthless in their eyes … just an object that belonged in the trash. After scarring my soul, they sold me to monsters who tortured me and scarred my face. With nothing left to lose, I planned the impossible: An escape from the Lycan palace. So? I killed myself and became a dead Luna. After my escape, I was planning to live in a human town and rebuild myself. No one would chase a dead Luna ever. Right? Nah! I guess I was wrong. Fate had other plans. It led me back to Sebastian King, the ruler of Velmora Kingdom. Last time, he did let me walk away. This time, he is not letting me out of his sight. But he needs to understand. I’m already dead. And dead people never come back. Now I’m Phoenix. A warrior who rose from the ashes. I don’t have a mate and I don’t belong to anyone. Sebastian King: I thought I lost her forever, but here she is, standing before me in full armor, staring boldly into my eyes. My kitten has grown into a firestorm. Now that I have found her, I won’t let her go. It’s time she remembers— she’s my mate and no one gets to claim her.

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.
