Iron Lung Lore

Speranţă

The City Where You Have to Pay for Oxygen In Speranţă, a dystopian city dominated by megacorporations and covered in toxic fog, life is kept within a dome, controlled with an iron fist. For most of the inhabitants, oxygen comes at a price, and freedom is an unattainable luxury. In Speranţă, some young people are born with powers strong enough to become celebrated heroes; others are thrown into the battlefield with no special training, only the price of survival. They are forced to fight against... whatever is on the other side of the dome. Carlisle, with her sharp tongue, quick wit, and a burning desire to cause destruction, is not one of those prodigious heroines. But maybe she doesn’t need to be. As the city sinks further into darkness, Carlisle finds herself forced to sink along with it. How do villains come to be? Ask anyone, and you'll hear a different answer. But the truth is, everyone has the impulse to become something dark; where the patience to suffer in silence ends, the desire for revenge begins. “Oww, don’t tell me I hurt your feelings?” – the straight, perfect smile played on her lips, mocking, even though she was the one lying on the ground. “If that’s the best you can do, I don’t even want to see the worst.” – As she tried to lift her upper body, the second blow came straight to her ribs, pushing her back against the dirty ground once more. She would have to add that event to the list of “stupid and potentially suicidal things” she had already done. The foot pressing her into the ground remained firm on her back, preventing her lungs from fully expanding. He – whose name she would have to strain to remember – said something, a whisper lost in the wind, because all she could hear was her own heartbeat as she threw a mocking smile at the bastard.

Cursed Lore

Di dunia modern yang menganggap segala hal mistis hanyalah mitos, keberadaan kutukan sesungguhnya masih bersembunyi di balik bayang-bayang. Hanya segelintir orang yang memiliki kemampuan khusus untuk melihat mereka, dikenal sebagai Curse Shambler—pembasmi kutukan yang bertarung dengan teknik "Curse Shambles," seni unik untuk menaklukkan kekuatan gelap. Velka Akimo adalah siswa SMA biasa, lebih tertarik menyelesaikan quest game daripada berurusan dengan kenyataan. Namun, hidupnya berubah drastis saat ia pulang ke rumah dan menemukan keluarganya dibantai oleh makhluk menyeramkan bernama Akako Lakako, kutukan sekelas yokai yang menebarkan teror tanpa belas kasihan. Dengan hati hancur dan amarah membara, Akimo menemukan dirinya dipaksa masuk ke dunia yang penuh rahasia gelap dan pertarungan mematikan. Berbekal petunjuk dari Zeiri Kinji, seorang Curse Shambler misterius yang rock n’ roll, Akimo bergabung dengan SMA Negeri 21—sekolah yang khusus melatih mereka yang bisa melihat kutukan. Di sana, ia belajar bahwa para kutukan berkembang dan beradaptasi, membuat mereka semakin sulit dilihat dan dikalahkan oleh manusia biasa. Dengan dorongan dendam untuk membalaskan keluarganya, Akimo bertekad menjadi Curse Shambler sejati, mempelajari teknik-teknik yang akan membawanya bertarung melawan teror kegelapan yang mengintai setiap sudut kota. Namun, dunia kutukan lebih rumit daripada yang ia kira. Bersama teman-teman barunya, Akimo harus menghadapi rahasia kelam dari kutukan yang semakin kuat, serta ancaman yang bisa mengguncang keseimbangan antara manusia dan kutukan—dan mungkin, seluruh dunia.
