Lucy's F(r)iend

“Bagaimana jadinya kalau, hampir setengah dari populasi di dunia adalah manusia Iblis?” Sebuah fenomena alam tiba-tiba terjadi di berbagai tempat di seluruh dunia. Beberapa gunung api aktif memuntahkan asap hitam yang sangat pekat, lalu asap itu membumbung tinggi dan menyelimuti hampir seluruh permukaan bumi. Menimbulkan kepanikan masal dan sebagian besar orang-orang mulai berperilaku aneh. Seolah dirasuki oleh roh jahat. Bola mata mereka jadi berwarna merah menyala, taring mereka juga tampak keluar dan tajam. Selain itu, wujud mereka juga berubah jadi sesosok monster yang mengerikan. Mereka memangsa setiap orang yang ada di hadapannya tanpa terkecuali. Sehingga menimbulkan kekacauan dan kehancuran di mana-mana. Dan mereka pun dijuluki sebagai manusia Iblis. Kekacauan tersebut, memaksa setiap negara untuk mengerahkan kekuatan militer untuk menghentikan mereka. Hanya saja, mereka sangat keji dan haus darah. Mereka terus melakukan penyerangan tanpa henti meski dalam keadaan terluka. Karena, selain memiliki ketahanan tubuh yang luar biasa. Mereka juga mampu memulihkan luka yang mereka terima dengan sangat cepat. Yang membuat mereka jadi tidak terhentikan. Karena hal tersebut, kekacauan pun berlangsung selama puluhan tahun, dan mengakibatkan hampir setengah populasi manusia di seluruh dunia didominasi oleh mereka. Sampai akhirnya para petinggi negara di dunia menerbitkan sebuah kebijakan. Yaitu, mengakui mereka sebagai ras manusia yang baru, yaitu Hybrid Human, dan memberi mereka hak seperti manusia pada umumnya. Kebijakan tersebut pun diterima dengan baik oleh sebagian besar dari mereka. Termasuk Lucy, yang sudah lelah dengan kehidupan gelapnya. Hanya saja, timbul diskriminasi di masyarakat terhadap mereka semua, yang membuat mereka kesulitan dalam mendapatkan pekerjaan mau pun memiliki pasangan yang bukan sesama Hybrid Human. Bagaimana Lucy dalam menghadapi semua itu? Rintangan apa saja yang menanti Lucy di depan sana? Dan apakah ia menemukan sesuatu yang membuat hidupnya berubah jadi lebih baik?

The Science Ace Go Back To The Past To Save Her Brothers

# GROUP PAMPERING In her previous life, Su Su offered up her life for science, and in the end, she developed a system that could let her travel through time and space, allowing her to return to a time 30 years ago, to the day before her family was destroyed. She was only four at that time, and she was the legitimate lady of the Su family, though she ended up wandering the streets. At the same time, the imposter, Su Nan, lived a lavish life in the Su family, and she was also well loved by her brothers. When Su Su brought with her a dirty doll and stepped into the Su family's mansion, they were holding a grand birthday party for Su Nan. But this was also a sign that the Su family’s tragic fate was about to change! However, the imposter, Su Nan, panicked. “She’s just a beggar, and yet she’s pretending to be Su Su! Chase her out!” The guests snickered and agreed with her. “Where did this girl come out from? The Su family lost their eldest daughter when she’s just one years old. Someone must have told this four-year-old girl to do this, right?” Su Su ran into her noble and reserved big brother’s arms. “Brother, I’m Su Su! I came back! If you don’t believe me, we can do a paternity test!” In her previous life, she was only discovered and brought back to the Su family when she was an adult. Unfortunately, by then, the Su family was already persecuted to the point where it was almost ruined. This time, Su Su swore that she would save her brothers! Much later, when the four-year-old Su Su used the technology to save the Su family, Su Nan’s real identity was exposed. In truth, the Su family’s downfall was linked to this imposter…
