[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT]. I am an ordinary high school girl. My name is Lily, a beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes. On the day I was born, a fortune teller predicted my twist of fate, declaring that my appearance would cause great trouble. My parents believe strongly in this vision, and for this reason, they conceal my beauty, making me appear as the ugliest girl. Well, I'm not sad because I know this is only a concealation.

Happily, I accepted his proposal without a second thought, and we began our relationship. Our relationship lasted for a year and a half, and I thought that since he loved me so much and didn't care about my appearance, I should give him a huge gift: to reveal my stunning appearance. I was prepared and ready, so I went to his house, but I was greeted with an unbelievable scene. My friend and my boyfriend, in the same room, were together, making love. That's not all, I also overheard their conversations that he approached me not out of love, but because he was using me to maintain a good image at school while also protecting his relationship with my friend. Heartbroken, I snatched the nearest vase and went away to the cliff. I never expected him to come after me. I couldn't accept reality; I couldn't bear it at all and I sought a breakup, but instead of granting my wish easily, he pushed me off the cliff.

"Sa ngayon mananatili ka sa palasyo ko bilang isang prinsesa hanggang sa dumating ang araw na sumapit ka sa wastong edad, saka kita gagawing aking reyna. Mamili ka, dito sa poder ko at maging aking asawa, o ibibigay kita kay Vincent para maging pagkain niya? Madali akong kausap Elysia, alin man diya ang piliin mo ay buong puso kong ibibigay sayo," saad nito sa mababang boses na nagpatindig sa kaniyang mga balahibo. Buong buhay ni Elysia ay sunud-sunuran lamang siya sa mga utos ng kaniyang pamilya, ngunit dumating ang araw na makakawala siya sa pagmamalupit ng kaniyang itinuturing na kamag-anak. Ngunit, ang kalayaang iyon ay kapalit naman ng buhay niya. Buong puso niya iyong tinanggap kapalit naman ng mga alaalang iniwan sa kaniya ng kaniyang mga magulang na hawak ng kaniyang tiyahin. Subalit ang inaasahan niyang kamat*yan ay hindi naganap, sa halip ay isang kasunduan ang inilatag sa kaniya ng inaakala niyang tatapos sa buhay niya. Si Vladimir na siyang hari ng mga bampira na matagal nang nabubuhay sa mundong ibabaw. Ang kasunduan bang iyon ang siyang magbabago ng buhay ni Elysia o ito rin ang siyang magpapahamak sa kaniya? Sa mga buhay nilang binabalot ng lihim, magkapuwang kaya ang pag-ibig sa pagitan ng dalawang magkasalungat na angkan at lahi?

It was supposed to be a new beginning—fresh faces, towering mountains, and the promise of untamed horizons. But the world doesn’t always play fair. The snow-covered peaks held secrets, ancient whispers that pulled at the edges of reality. A frosted gaze, a frozen heart. A fleeting warmth that lingered, only to unravel. The air was heavy, the nights restless. I was unlucky. A quiet campus turned labyrinthine. Paths twisted into trails where footsteps vanished, and in the silence, shadows became more than just absence. Questions followed like echoes: What am I? What do I belong to? And why does the sky feel too close and too far all at once? A frostbite that never healed. A cliff's edge that wouldn’t let go. A hand reached out—divine or cruel? Each step forward pulled deeper into the unknown, where gods didn’t walk, but fragments of them did, fractured and wary, watching. The world isn’t broken; it’s just no longer whole. Beyond the mountains, among the clouds, lies a story unwritten, where reality bends and belief becomes the weight that anchors existence. But the question is simple: Can you bear the cold?

Jason Reed, a 21-year-old felt lost in life as he couldn’t seem to hold down a job or find purpose in life. After being fired from his ninth job in three months; this time for ruining a bakery batch by mixing salt instead of sugar, he returned to his crumbling trailer home, the only thing his parents left behind before mysteriously disappearing years ago. Exhausted and frustrated, Jason skipped dinner and collapsed into bed, only to be pulled into a terrifying nightmare. In the dream, Jason found himself in a strange forest where the sky mirrored the ground, with upside-down trees stretching endlessly above. The forest seemed alive, constantly shifting and changing its shape and colors with weird sounds echoing all around, making him anxious to escape. As Jason finally reached a clearing, he discovered that he was at the edge of a cliff overlooking a battlefield littered with the bodies of monstrous creatures. Turning back in fear, he found himself facing the entrance of a massive cave that wasn’t there moments before. Now trapped between the cliff and the ominous cave, Jason has nowhere to run. A chilling tension fills the air as in the next moment a massive red dragon emerges from the cave. It had bright red, with odd rectangular scales and glowing yellow eyes that gave it a strange, digital appearance, like the final boss of an old arcade game. The dragon growled, releasing thick and massive amounts of smoke from its nostrils as it locked its gaze on Jason. Jason froze, hoping the dragon would leave him alone, but his slightest movement triggered the dragon to attack. Chomp! In a single horrifying moment, the dragon devoured Jason whole, jolting him awake in a cold sweat. Shaken, Jason tried to dismiss the nightmare and get on with his day. But his morning was about to take a bizarre turn when he found a small, red metal case on his bathroom sink. It had an intricate design around its border with a blank center that made it look like the design was incomplete. Inside, he found a deck of some type of cards. However, the moment Jason touched the deck, it glowed with a soft red light followed by a piercing ringing filling his ears. He clutched his head in pain, unable to make it stop. When the ringing finally subsided, Jason slowly picked himself back up only to look up at the mirror and freeze. Staring back at him was the same dragon from his nightmare, its terrifying eyes locking onto his once again. Jason’s life was about to change forever as he uncovered the truth about a dangerous experiment, the chaos it threatened to unleash on the world, and his own role in stopping it. Jason's life was about to change forever as he discovered the truth about a dangerous experiment, the chaos it was about to bring to his world, and his role in stopping something that should never have been created.
