ILLICIT ROMANCE

Zelda Delacroix is no ordinary girl—raised in a world of affluence, power, and hidden secrets, she’s adopted into the prestigious Delacroix family, where appearances are everything and silence is survival. But beneath the surface of her new life lies a web of forbidden desire, fractured loyalties, and dangerous truths no one dares to speak. As Zelda tries to navigate university, dreams of becoming an architect, and the unrelenting expectations of the Delacroix household, she finds herself drawn to Lucien—the cold, enigmatic eldest son of the family who has always watched her from a distance. He’s off-limits, untouchable, and infuriatingly magnetic. Their connection simmers quietly, the tension growing more unbearable with each stolen glance and whispered word. But Lucien isn’t the only one watching her. The family’s secrets begin to unravel, and a forgotten brother erased from all records haunts the corners of Zelda’s life. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that could shatter the Delacroix name—and cost her everything. Meanwhile, rivals emerge. Marcella, a cunning girl from another elite family, pretends to befriend Zelda while scheming to steal Lucien. And Delphine Vale, a petite and seemingly harmless classmate, hides sinister intentions beneath her sweet smile. Every step Zelda takes forward is shadowed by betrayal. With her budding friendship with the genuine and free-spirited Ariyah, and the quiet support of her adoptive brothers Berrett and Ryan, Zelda tries to hold on to her sanity. But as the line between protector and possessor blurs in her relationship with Lucien, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface, Zelda must decide: Can she survive the weight of a love that was never meant to happen? And in a house built on secrets… who will burn first?

Mystery of Existence

The concept of Creation encompasses the entirety of existence as well as non-existence, representing an intricate interconnection essential for maintaining balance within the framework of Creation itself. Existence embodies all that we have observed, including galaxies, universes, the theory of the multiverse, and beyond. Consequently, countless undiscovered truths remain as mysteries; even infinite celestial bodies represent only a fraction of the greater whole. It is understood that even the most potent celestial entities, including deities, may lack insight into the ultimate truths underlying Existence. Humanity has developed systems designed for traversing the cosmos in pursuit of knowledge; however, these explorations have often yielded little in terms of concrete understanding. Many have found themselves in a state of confusion, leading to a collective withdrawal from exploration. This trend persisted until the emergence of an individual driven by a profound curiosity regarding the truths of Creation. This individual, Jonathan, committed himself to extensive reading, which chronicled the journeys of those who had traversed the cosmos, thereby offering invaluable insights for humanity to reclaim its most illustrious era. In his quest, Jonathan stands before an ancient and imposing set of Doors adorned with unknown symbols, which resonate with immense power that defies quantification. Jonathan realizes that unlocking these doors entails solving a complex puzzle, prompting him to embark on an expedition to uncover the missing symbols. During his adventures, he encounters Mary Carter, a young woman possessing an obsession with literature containing information about the cosmos. They quickly form a partnership, united by their shared objective. A significant clue within one of Mary's texts directs them to Indonesia, specifically to the Candi Borobudur, where they believe a manuscript exists that contains the knowledge required to transcend dimensional barriers. This manuscript is crucial to solving the puzzle of the Ancient Doors. With this objective in mind, they prepare for their journey to Indonesia. However, one may question whether their expedition will progress smoothly or if they will find themselves entangled in perilous circumstances. Who knows, but we'll see it soon...

The Mystery of the Kaido

For Shinoda Akito, life is best lived in a state of minimal energy expenditure. Why bother with unnecessary effort or attention when a quiet, low-key existence is far more efficient? His high school career is meticulously planned around this philosophy, aiming for average grades and joining the most inactive club imaginable: the Classic Cerebrum Club. However, Akito's perfectly curated low-energy life is quickly disrupted by Emiri, the club's only other member. With boundless, overwhelming curiosity and a passion for dusty archives, Emiri is determined to revitalize the club by investigating a fifty-year-old mystery found in the club's records: a missing key, a vanished box, and cryptic clues hinting at a secret hidden within the school's past, tied to a name – "Kaidō." Reluctantly pulled into this historical puzzle by Emiri's unwavering "I'm curious!", Akito finds himself applying his sharp, hidden intelligence – a capability he usually suppresses to avoid unwanted attention, a lesson learned from difficult past experiences where his deductions caused friction. Just as they begin to uncover the secrets of the past, a sudden, high-stakes crisis strikes the school. The administration announces a "Special Evaluation Exam" for all clubs. This comprehensive and difficult test has a clear consequence: failure means permanent termination. Suddenly, the Classic Cerebrum Club's very existence is on the line. Faced with Emiri's genuine distress and the threat to his carefully chosen low-energy haven, Akito realizes inaction is no longer an option. He must deploy the strategic mind he usually keeps hidden. Joined by the pragmatic and observant Rina, and later by the energetic and willing Yamato Kenta (intrigued by both the mystery and the exam's challenge), the Classic Cerebrum Club forms an unlikely team. The mystery of the past is temporarily postponed as they focus on the urgent, high-energy demands of the present exam. Akito, the reluctant strategist, must now navigate this complex, competitive system, leveraging his hidden abilities to guide his team, while trying to avoid drawing the kind of attention he so carefully avoids – attention that the sharp-eyed, analytical new student seems poised to give after noticing a discrepancy in his test performance. Can this small, initially inefficient team, led by a hidden genius who prefers doing nothing, survive the Special Evaluation Exam? And what secrets still lie buried in the school's history, waiting to be uncovered in "Kaidō no Nazo"?

Fleeting romance

"Ah... Stop, Malik," she whispered, her voice filled with a mix of ecstasy and resistance. Her involuntary moans cut through the darkness enveloping them. Her wrists were pinned against the sofa, and his lips traveled slowly across her neck, each kiss igniting a fiery desire within him. "Did you think you could toy with my feelings and then simply flee?" he growled, his voice raspy with an intensity that even surprised him. His arm wrapped tightly around her, while she struggled to suppress her reactions, closing her eyes against the bittersweet torment of his kisses. "What we had was nothing but a fleeting love," she murmured defiantly, her words fueling his need. He pressed his lips forcefully against hers, deepening the kiss as he explored her mouth with an insatiable hunger. Her lips were a forbidden delight, but she fought against him, knowing this was a mistake. As she pulled away, he reclaimed her lips, consumed by his obsession. "Fleeting love?" he whispered urgently into her ear, tracing her skin and sending shivers down her spine. "I have your name engraved in my heart—your voice, your lips, our first night, every moment." With a gentle move, he unclasped her bra, the straps falling beneath her top. "Forget me? I'm doing us both a favor. I have a life; you already have a fiancé—" Her words were silenced by his finger softly brushing her lips. "It's already called off," he declared. "I will never let go of the gift that you are. You are mine, always and forever. No other man will ever have you, or he’ll face my wrath." "What could possibly stop me if not death itself? I will never cease to chase and love you, my dearest wife," he vowed, tightening his embrace. As her eyes widened, she realized the depth the obsession she had unknowingly nurtured. She pondered the chain of events leading her to this inevitable fate, a consequence of one small act of kindness spiraling into a consuming obsession.
