Di balik dapur yang dipenuhi cahaya hangat dan aroma mentega yang perlahan mencair di atas wajan, Anongnart Phongphattanakulchai, atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai Nine, percaya pada satu hal sederhana: setiap orang berhak memiliki hidangan yang terasa seperti rumah. Bertahun-tahun ia mengasah kemampuannya di dapur-dapur terbaik Paris, hingga akhirnya meraih penghargaan Michelin Star yang diimpikan banyak chef. Namun, setelah semua pencapaian itu, Nine justru memilih kembali ke Bangkok untuk membuka restoran bernama Lumiere, tempat di mana setiap hidangan dirancang seolah dibuat hanya untuk satu orang di dunia. Di sisi lain, Sarachatawee Van Rijn, atau Sasi Van Rijn, adalah nama besar di industri hiburan. Model berdarah Thailand–Belanda itu kerap berjalan di runway internasional, menghiasi billboard raksasa, dan bahkan mulai menaklukkan layar lebar. Namun di balik gemerlap lampu kamera, hidup Sasi jauh lebih rumit daripada yang terlihat. Tubuhnya menolak banyak hal: sayuran yang terkena pestisida, nanas, kacang-kacangan, pemanis buatan, bahkan beberapa sumber protein seperti seafood. Makan di restoran sering kali berubah menjadi pengalaman menegangkan, seolah setiap piring bisa menjadi ancaman. Takdir mempertemukan mereka ketika seorang produser film mengajak Sasi makan malam di Lumiere. Restoran itu terkenal bukan hanya karena rasa makanannya, tetapi karena reputasi Nine yang mampu memahami selera tamu-tamunya seperti membaca rahasia yang tersembunyi di balik senyuman mereka. Namun bagi Nine, Sasi adalah pelanggan paling menantang yang pernah ia temui—daftar alerginya begitu panjang hingga hampir seluruh menu restoran menjadi mustahil untuk disajikan. Alih-alih menyerah, Nine justru menciptakan hidangan baru khusus untuknya. Malam itu, untuk pertama kalinya setelah bertahun-tahun, Sasi makan tanpa rasa takut. Sejak saat itu, kunjungan Sasi ke Lumiere menjadi semakin sering. Di balik setiap hidangan yang dirancang dengan hati-hati, tumbuh percakapan yang semakin dalam, tatapan yang semakin lama, dan perasaan yang perlahan sulit disembunyikan. Bagi Sasi, restoran itu menjadi tempat paling aman di dunia—sebuah safe plate tempat ia bisa mempercayakan dirinya sepenuhnya. Namun bagi Nine, yang terbiasa mengekspresikan segalanya lewat makanan, ada satu pertanyaan yang semakin sulit dihindari: apakah perasaan yang ia masukkan ke dalam setiap hidangan untuk Sasi akan pernah benar-benar tersampaikan? Di antara aroma dapur, rahasia masa lalu, dan dunia gemerlap yang tak pernah benar-benar ramah, dua perempuan dari dunia yang berbeda perlahan menemukan bahwa terkadang… satu piring makanan bisa menjadi awal dari sebuah kisah cinta.

Imagine watching your life crack apart slowly… Not all at once, but day after day… month after month… year after year… until one morning you wake up and realize you cannot endure it anymore. Martha was not a bad woman. She was simply exhausted. Exhausted by the children, by the house, by the loneliness, and by a husband she once loved so deeply that she believed love alone was enough to build a happy family. But as the years passed, every beautiful thing between them began to disappear little by little… the care, the kind words, the laughter, and even the ability to speak without fighting. Until the day she raised her hand against her son for the very first time. And the moment she saw the fear in his eyes… she realized that something inside this home had been broken forever. Between a husband suffocating under the pressure of work, a wife silently falling apart, and two children who fear every night that they might lose their family… a painful journey begins to save whatever love still remains within this family, even if the cracks never truly disappear.

The Human Race is raised by robots and recycled into an endless cycle of competition. Infinite Peace through Never Ending Virtual War. Homo Sapiens live to be 80 years old before they "Retire". After that point they are no longer allowed to play W@rt0n and retire their character to the Hall of Fame. Those who are soon to retire are known as "The Ancient Ones". These players have maxed out stats and all skills/spells are at least Grandmaster Rank. All are born the same. The same basic test tube. Every choice that could be made has been calculated, predifined by a perfect computer program. Human kind can only learn so much , can only do so much with what they are given. Drawing a circle in the sand, calling it infinity, humanity is placed within. Knowing that if forced to follow the edge of the circle, one would forever travel in ignorant bliss. That was until Three players were born of an accident. One tiny almost imperceptable computer code error was written into the main program. This code was hidden and over 1000 iterations of the same successful program were executed before this malfunction came to light. Three players were born different. They still remembered their previous lives. These Players threaten to destroy the balance and change the world. 2 Chapters per week. 5 bonus chapters for 5 power stones. 100 chapters written, have to edit before posting. I work a full time job, but if the stones are there it is guaranteed.
