Within the realm of shadows and sorrow, an amalgamation of dark fantasy elements takes form in the world of Vesperia. Hauntingly grand churches, reminiscent of ancient edifices seen in tales of old, dominate the desolate landscapes. These imposing churches stand as enigmatic fortresses, their towering spires reaching towards the brooding skies. Carved grotesques and eerie sculptures adorn their weathered stone facades, their presence evoking a sense of macabre beauty and ancient mysteries. Deep within the sacred halls of these churches, devout priests and priestesses practice their faith, They preach of unseen forces that shape the destinies of mortals, invoking both hope and trepidation in the hearts of their followers. These holy men and women are not mere conduits of faith; they are wielders of supernatural powers. Drawing upon the essence of esoteric energies, they perform miracles that heal the afflicted, offer protection to the faithful, or unleash righteous fury upon adversaries. Yet, hidden within their ranks are those who delve into forbidden knowledge, delving into the darkness to tap into eldritch forces and perform sinister rituals. Within the depths of these churches, relics from forgotten eras lie concealed. These artifacts hold echoes of forgotten heroes and cataclysmic events, whispered legends of power and despair. Brave warriors, known as Chosen Blades, clad in armor reminiscent of legendary knights and mysterious hunters, embark on perilous quests to retrieve these relics, hoping to shape their destinies or protect the world from their malevolent influence. However, not all that dwells within these churches is righteous. Hidden cults and covens lurk in the shadows, their twisted devotion leading them to worship ancient, malevolent entities. They manipulate, exploiting the fears and desires of the vulnerable for their nefarious purposes. Unholy abominations and creatures born of twisted sorcery roam the land, a product of the profane rituals conducted within these sacred walls. These monstrous beings, born from the fusion of corrupted souls and arcane energies, lurk in the depths, eager to prey upon the unsuspecting or challenge those who dare to uncover their dark secrets. In Vesperia, the interplay between faith and darkness unfolds as souls and forbidden rituals intertwine. They must navigate treacherous paths, torn between the glimmer of hope and the seductive allure of forbidden knowledge. The destiny of their world teeters on a knife's edge as they confront the enigmas that lie hidden within these sacred and sinister sanctuaries.

Charlin Reigh delos Santos aka Charley is an aspiring novelist, the only novelist who never believes that there is such a thing called "Happily-ever-after" and "Forever", that those beliefs only happen in a Fairy tale story. Payapa siyang namumuhay sa bahay na ipinatayo ng kanyang Daddy para sa kanyang Mommy. Isang araw, binigyan siya ng kapatid niya ng isang concert ticket ng paborito niyang bandang Side A, plus a free 2 days stay in an expensive hotel. This is life! At habang abala siya sa mga bagay-bagay na 'yon ay hindi niya alam na ibinibenta na pala ng kapatid niya ang bahay nila. In the hotel, she encounters a famous actor-model and endorser named Train Evan Sebastian. She accidentally pulled down Train's pants in front of everyone. Humiliating it is! This was indeed the most embarrassing moment of Train's life kaya galit na galit ito sa kanya! When she returns to the reality, na-diskubre niyang naibenta na pala ang bahay niya-to no other than Train Evan Sebastian. Kung sinusundan nga naman talaga siya ng malas oh! Pero wala na siyang magagawa dahil naibenta na ang bahay nila, ngunit hindi siya makakapayag na umalis sa bahay na kinalakihan na niya-kaya nag-apply siya bilang katulong nito! Isang araw ay biglang nangailangan ng tulong si Train, yes, ang sikat na celebrity na ito ay kailangan ang tulong niya! The plot was: Kailangan niyang magpanggap na fiancée nito para patunayan sa ex-girlfriend nitong nakalimutan na nito ang babae and they set up a contract to last for three months. During that time, complications arises. Charley fell in love with Train! But what to do? Cassandra has decided to be with Train again-when she found out about their pretentious game. Right! There's no really such thing as forever, how could she forget about it?

After surviving all manner of abuse in his childhood due to his drunken father and a few other strange fellows that caught his mother's eye, young Charles Erwin Bayler, better known by his nicknames "Goodtime Charlie" or "Chuck" to many of his friends and acquaintances, finds himself trying his best to navigate through life the best way he knew how, with odd jobs, a good deal of booze and whatever else he could get his hands on to cope with what his life had become since those early years of pain and degradation. After a short stint in jail due to theft, Charley finds himself coming to the aid of a rather curious lad named Nolan Pierce, who had been in search of a new roommate, who brings him into the seedy underworld which had been more than he bargained for when he finds himself performing on stages for men and women alike just to pay the bills when his being a former felon keeps him out of the running for decent jobs.

In a world where magic is merely a myth and the mundane rules all, there was little hope for those who dared to dream. The skies were grey, the land barren, and the people resigned to their bleak existence. It seemed as though the very fabric of reality was against them, mocking their every attempt at happiness. But little did they know, a darkness was brewing, one that would threaten to consume them all.

After falling prey to an anomaly of fate, Charley is reincarnated into a new world with a god-like system that promises to lead him to a happy ending. But what is he to do? Will he listen to the 'obvious' traps of the system or will he forge his own path to a happy ending?

As he was taking another draught of his cigarette, a smooth voice interrupted him, “Smoking is bad for you, you know,” Alec looked up, shocked by a beautiful face. It was the stranger that he had accidentally locked eyes with only a few moments ago. God almighty, he just wanted some peace and quiet. What was this crazy bastard dressed in some weird fancy get-up coming over and giving him a hard time for? * * * Alec Smoke is a gloomy magician who hates children. When he inevitably ends up ruining a kid's birthday party one day and gets fired, he thinks his life is now all over before a mysterious fellow offers him a place in his circus. Things get worse as "accidents" keep happening and things get heated between him and the man, who just so happens to be one of the most irritating bastards he has had the misfortune to meet.
