Apathy

Condemned to be a woman

Amelia wasn’t always Amelia. In a past life, she was a young man who chose apathy and indifference, silently recording an atrocity without intervening. For this, a secretive organization exacted a punishment as severe as it was symbolic: transforming the perpetrators into what they despised most. Turned into a woman through a dark ritual, Amelia finds herself trapped in a body she never asked for, her mind besieged by new impulses and emotions driven by an ancient and perverse power. Sold to Jason, a powerful yet enigmatic CEO, Amelia faces a heartbreaking emotional contradiction. The new sensations and desires implanted by the ritual drive her to fall in love with her master, but memories of who she once was haunt her, and the constant internal struggle threatens to consume her. Amid her personal turmoil, she discovers that both Jason and the organization's leader, Inmaculada, are disciples of a ruthless and ancient master—a sorcerer capable of altering the destiny of those who fall under his control. As she attempts to rebuild her life and prove she's more than just a pretty face, Amelia is caught in a complex power struggle between Inmaculada and Jason’s interests, family conflicts, and the master's demands. Conspiracies intensify when the mentor discovers her unexplored magical potential, demanding her surrender at any cost. To buy time, Jason and Inmaculada resort to drastic measures, transforming Amelia’s assailants into women through the same dark ritual in hopes of diverting the master’s attention. In a world where magic, manipulation, and power struggles are the norm, Amelia must find her true strength to survive and decide who she wants to be in a reality that constantly redefines her.

When a Reader Ascends

Magnus lives a relatively normal life, or at least it looks like he does. He has average grades, a handful of friends, moderate wealth, and a distant family. But behind that façade is apathy. Apathy towards his friends, his family, the entire world. Or, almost the entire world. The one thing that Magnus cares about, is books. No matter what kind, Magnus would descend upon it like a swarm of locusts. From picture books to grand epics, text books to treatises, no book could escape his grasp. He is content with this life, but something would always nag at the back of his mind, the want for something more. When Magnus is walking through the forest near his house to find a nice spot to read his latest book, he stumbles upon what looks to be an ancient shrine.
