A Favour

A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

The Devil's Favourability System(Dark Bl)

CEO. Tyrant. Supreme Ruler of the Corporate World. Silas Grimshaw had it all—power, wealth, and the unshakable belief that he was the good guy. He was appointed CEO of his father’s company after his sudden death, and his methods were ruthless. If he had to make a few people’s lives a living hell to climb to the top, so be it. After all, it was all for the greater good, right? But, when someone finally decided to take revenge for the countless lives he’d crushed beneath his heel, Silas met a brutal and well-deserved end. And that's when things took a weird turn. Silas wakes up in a new world, only to find himself trapped in a FAVORABILITY SYSTEM. His mission? Make the protagonist of each world like him. The catch? The protagonist always hates his guts. The second catch? If he fails, the protagonist will brutally kill him, and he’ll be flung into an even worse nightmare world. Now, forced into an endless loop of blood, terror, and constantly being hated, Silas must use every underhanded trick in his book to win the favor of each new protagonist—whether it’s manipulation, charm, or sheer intimidation. After all, how hard could it be to make someone adore him? (Answer: Excruciatingly hard.) But Silas is determined to win, no matter the cost. Even if it means smiling through the suffering, hugging his would-be killer, or systematically removing every other love interest, he will reach 100%. Because Silas Grimshaw is a good person. Right?
