.............WSA 25 entry............. Stealing from mortals? Too easy. But stealing from the gods? Now that’s an art. Alister never believed in fate—only fools waited for miracles while he took what he pleased. Raised an orphan, with nothing but his wits and quick hands to survive, he became known as Ace, the faceless thief, a legend among criminals. No vault could hold him. No ward could stop him. But mortals soon proved unchallenging, and so he set his sights higher—on the divine. His last heist nearly cost him his life, but in return, he gained an ability that would change everything. With this newfound power, Alister assembled a crew of misfits, each with their own talents, their own reasons for defying the heavens. Together, they formed the Divine Heist Club—a name the world would soon come to know, and the gods would soon come to fear.

This one decision creates a bond between Sol and Mrs. Gabriel but also a rift between him and his ally who would hunt Sol for the rest of his life. Engaging into an affair with Mrs. Gabriel also captures the attention of the worst man in the City, Mr. Gabriel. The trouble Sol gets himself into of course got him killed.

Who is to say wealth is not needed in the world of the spirits. In the end, Sol IbnuRa goes away and leave the world behind. He realizes nothing truly really matters after all. With the super abilities he has, he creates a dimension of his own deep in the corners of the lucid dream world where no one or nothing can find him, but the question remains. With all the enemies Sol creates for himself across dimensions, is he truly ever hidden.

In a world where humans and aliens coexist, advanced technology has given rise to "lenses" – devices that enhance human abilities. These range from basic cognitive boosts to superhuman strength and even mystical powers derived from slain deities. This technological advancement has created a stark divide between the utopian, solar-punk city of Eden Reach and the impoverished, cyberpunk district of Gridlock. Eden Reach, a gleaming beacon of progress, enjoys the benefits of clean energy, advanced technology, and harmonious coexistence. Gridlock, however, remains a shadow of its former self, plagued by poverty, crime, and the remnants of a forgotten past. The story follows a group of rebels known as the "Dystopians," who operate from the shadows of Gridlock. They aim to steal powerful prototype lenses from Leviathan, the powerful organization that controls their distribution and use. This heist, however, will have unforeseen consequences, drawing them into a conflict that threatens to tear apart the fragile peace between Eden Reach and Gridlock, and unleash forces that could shatter the very foundations of their world.

Tiga puluh sembilan tahun kemudian, sebuah film yang diadaptasi dari kasus tersebut, “The Great Heist of Jin City,” menjadi hit box office, menarik perhatian ahli patologi forensik Ye Huairui. Sebulan kemudian, Ye Huairui pindah ke sebuah vila tua, hanya untuk mengetahui bahwa itu dulunya adalah kediaman Yin Jiaming. ==== Pada tengah malam, setelah badai petir, Ye Huairui menemukan sebaris tulisan di mejanya: “Siapa kau!!?” Ye Huairui berpikir, apakah tempat ini berhantu? Dia menulis balasan: “Entah kau hantu, atau kau pembunuhnya.” Pesan di meja berubah menjadi: "Aku bukan hantu, dan aku juga bukan pembunuh! Aku tidak membunuh siapa pun!!" Ye Huairui: … Hubungan luar biasa lintas waktu dan ruang mempertemukan dua orang yang terpisah tiga puluh sembilan tahun di rumah tua misterius itu. Maka dimulailah perjalanan investigasi lintas waktu. “Yin Jiaming telah dizalimi; pelaku sebenarnya masih bebas.” Dengan bantuan seorang ahli patologi forensik jenius dari tiga puluh sembilan tahun di masa depan, dapatkah Yin Jiaming membuktikan ketidakbersalahannya dan menulis ulang nasib buruknya? ==== Kebenaran tidak akan diubah, hanya dikubur. Kisah cinta melampaui ruang dan waktu tentang kematian dan penebusan, dan pada akhirnya, aku akan menggenggam tanganmu erat. ==== Kata-kata pertama yang diucapkan Yin Jiaming kepada Ye Huairui adalah: “Ruirui, kemarilah peluk aku.” Ye Huairui merentangkan tangannya: “Kemarilah. Jika kau tidak bisa memelukku, berarti kau pengecut.”

Hell is much creepier than you think. Forget the flames, the demonized figure, the multitude of the damned. Beneath the underworld's scorched surface, Hell boasted a governance of unholy precision. They reveled in their flawless hirerachy and their arrogance, fuelled by eons of self-admiration, finally boiled over. Crawling forth in their thousands to unleash total annihilation upon their eternal adversary; earth. Era who has seen what it is like to suffer in the hands of the possessed, picked up the reigns of exorcism which was currently regarded as Earth's most thriving business. Exorcism was second to the need of food and water. It was more lucrative than the entertainment industry and heavily influenced by earth's leaders. He was a blend of contradictions; adorable and perlious, captivating and enigmatic. His good looks made him a renowned figure in both realms, while his mastery of stealth earned him a reputation as a cunning and elusive presence. He believed if humans knew the truth, no one would be poor enough to serve the rich. An arranged marriage brought them to be. The need to stop exorcism and the desire to wipe out demons, bringing mankind healing brought them closer and further apart. But what none saw coming was the possibility of a greater evil than Azrael, demonic manifestations, and several lives lost in the name of revealing the truth. |Daily updates is promised|
