At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji?

Let me at least have a prince who is foolish in love, a northern duke whose cold yet soft inside, or at least a cheatsheat for me to survive! Now, survival isn't just about staying alive—it's about figuring out how to navigate this ridiculous situation and maybe, just maybe, getting a little payback and a bountiful pile of gold for my hard work!

Detective Alexander is hailed as a prodigy—a young investigator whose genius mind has cracked some of the city's most complex and chilling cases. But behind the acclaim and cold, calculating demeanor lies a fractured soul, haunted by a past he has buried deep. Alexander hasn’t smiled in years, and when a reporter questions him about his apparent joyless existence, it forces him to confront the source of his despair. What he uncovers is a seething hatred for the bullies who tormented him during high school—privileged elites who committed unspeakable acts, shielded by their wealth and status. Alexander realizes that his missing happiness, his very sense of self, was stolen by them. Driven by an unrelenting desire for retribution, Alexander stages his own death, crafting a new identity that will allow him to infiltrate the lives of those who wronged him. In his first mission of vengeance, Alexander targets Damien Roth, the spoiled son of a powerful German tycoon whose past crimes have gone unpunished. As Alexander manipulates his way into Damien’s family, weaving a web of lies and psychological traps, he dismantles the lives of those who stand in his way—innocent or guilty alike. But as Alexander spirals deeper into his crusade for vengeance, a brilliant detective begins to piece together the threads of his crimes. With every calculated move, Alexander must stay one step ahead, all while wrestling with the question: Will regaining his stolen happiness be worth the cost of his humanity?
