Find Hosea A Crime

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

Kairo Vex is Class C scum in the Academy of Acquisition—bottom tier in a system where missed payments mean harvesting rooms and slow death.

And someone from his erased past is already hunting him. In the dark world's hierarchy, there's only room for one at the top—and Kairo's done being prey.

A simple workday at a coffee shop turned James Bellini’s life into something people would fear. All it took was one misunderstanding, and he became the crownless king of the underworld, the ruthless boss of the Bellini Family. But this new life demands an answer to a simple question.

I looked at him with utter contempt, my gaze as cold as frost spreading across my face: “You filthy poultry, what part of you thinks you're worthy of me?” I spat each word with biting clarity, holding nothing back. No matter how beautiful the human form he wore, he was still just a feathered beast at heart, no better than the chickens and ducks outside. The man before me was breathtakingly handsome, his sharp eyes like a hawk’s. Yet he didn’t flare up in anger. Instead, he let out a cold, mocking smile. Raising one hand, he gripped my chin tightly, eyes blazing like fire: “I am a Phoenix,” he growled: “King of all living things! And you dare compare me to common barnyard fowl? Do you want me to snap your neck right here?” But I didn’t flinch. Instead, I met his fury with a calm, deliberate smirk: “Go ahead. It’s not like you’ve ever had the guts to follow through.” He went silent for a few seconds, the tension thick between us. Then, all of a sudden, he released my chin, only to pull me into his arms, holding me so tightly it felt like he was afraid I might vanish. His voice dropped, no longer seething with rage, but laced with a strange tenderness: “Could you stop being so stubborn? I’ve given you everything... What more do I need to do to make you happy?” His embrace tightened again, desperate and trembling. As if letting go, even a little, would cause me to disappear. In his eyes, there was helplessness, pain, and something else rising to the surface, something raw, unnamed, and overpowering.

In a world where emotion fuels destruction, the greatest threat isn’t what people do—it’s what they don’t. Drive is the volatile energy born from resisting your own instincts. Repressed rage. Swallowed fear. Suppressed guilt. Most people leak it. Others wield it. And when too much builds up, it doesn’t vanish—it festers. The result? Hollows—mindless entities formed from humanity’s buried urges. They haunt the streets, feeding on tension, grief, and silence. At the center of it all is the Core Authority—a broken institution that recruits emotionally unstable teens to contain what adults caused and can't control. Failing is death. Succeeding means losing yourself anyway. In this system, being strong means being unwell—and surviving means never being whole again.

Yeri never asked for a life like this. Quiet and gentle, she was just trying to survive the cruelty of Soojin — a woman who treated her like a pawn in a game of power. In a mansion full of lies, Yeri learned how to stay invisible, how to carry pain with grace. Until one night, during a lavish party, everything changed. When Yunjun — the cold, distant mafia heir — saw someone lay a hand on her, something in him snapped. What started as protection soon cracked open the walls he’d spent years building. But falling in love wasn't simple. Yunjun wasn’t just a man with secrets—he was a man at war with himself. Their fragile bond was tested at every turn: Soojin’s jealousy spiraled into violence, leaving Yeri broken and bruised in a hospital bed. Just as healing began, Yunjun’s past came crashing in, and Yeri was ripped away—kidnapped and tortured by Jack, his ruthless enemy. But Yeri wasn’t just a victim. She was a fighter. And even in the darkest moments, she held on—to hope, to love, to the belief that someone would come for her. Yunjun did. Fueled by rage, guilt, and a love he could no longer ignore, he brought Jack to his knees. But revenge couldn’t erase the scars. The real battle was learning how to be there for Yeri—not as a protector, but as a partner. Now, with blood behind them and healing ahead, Yeri and Yunjun stand not as broken people—but as two souls who chose each other in the aftermath. Their story isn’t perfect. It’s *real.*

In a world where the legacy of ancient empires determines fate, goodness magic lies dormant—waiting to be awakened by the kiss of the anointed. These rare individuals are born of noble bloodlines traced back to the once-rival empires of Crispin and Liputian. The two kingdoms, once bonded by peace, discovered four elemental gems beneath the sea: orange (fire), black (earth), blue (water), and green (air)—the sacred sources of all magical power. But peace gave way to greed and conquest. The Crispin Empire, lustful for dominion, enslaved the Liputians and claimed the four gems and two enchanted half-necklaces. Yet from the ashes of oppression, Queen Deli and a cunning Liputian slave named Nick conspired to reclaim what was stolen, stealing the gems during a grand festival—sparking a legacy of revenge, rebellion, and restoration. In the centuries that followed, power again corrupted. The Liputians, now in possession of the gems, splintered into four secretive clans, each guarding a single gem and a magically sealed puzzle book meant to preserve their fragment of power. The promise of unity was lost to division—until a new generation rose. In a modern society plagued by systemic evil—where the state colludes with cultic groups to exploit the young, monopolize economies, and pass corrupt laws—a band of students dares to challenge it all. Nick Putian, Jasmine Rose, Tiffy, Mikal Kaal, Jenny, Elizabeth Shadd, William, John, and Lama are drawn together by myth, ancestry, and the stirring call of justice. What begins as high school romance and rivalry—love triangles between Nick, Tiffy, Jasmine, and Elizabeth—turns into a quest to redeem a broken nation. Guided by ancient maps only readable by those of Crispin or Liputian descent, the group unearths their destinies as potential anointed kissers, capable of unlocking the elusive goodness magic through love’s purest expression. Elizabeth, Tiffy, and Nick are revealed as ideal candidates, bound by blood and fate. Together, they face impossible missions—from decoding ancient riddles in the Chillbi desert, surviviving Crapaud Forest, the desolate Chillbi Desert, and enduring the volcanic threats of Mount Volta, to enduring arrest at Mansoon Basement, and confronting sea storms and secret enemies at Hina Sea. Each location offers not only physical trials but emotional tests: betrayal, tension, near breakups, and the threat of moral collapse. Ultimately, it is not power or bloodline alone that secures victory—but unity, love, and sacrifice. Through an unlikely kiss between Nick and Tiffy, the long-lost goodness magic is finally awakened. The cultic systems collapse, and the government—exposed and humbled—cedes the mystical Hina Island to the allies, where they begin forging a new state rooted in justice and peace. This is a tale of how youthful courage, ancestral power, and the choice to love over rule can reclaim the soul of a nation.
