Picana

Picana

Tahun 2026. Di balik jalanan dan bangunan bersejarah Kota Picana, kedamaian hanyalah ilusi yang dipertontonkan kepada dunia. Mayoritas penduduknya merupakan warga keturunan dan berdarah campuran (mixed blood). Kelompok yang selama bertahun-tahun hidup di bawah bayang-bayang diskriminasi negara. Namun, di balik citra harmoninya, Picana menjadi pusat perlawanan terhadap pemerintahan yang selama bertahun-tahun melakukan diskriminasi dan penindasan terhadap warga keturunan. Di tengah penindasan itu, organisasi bawah tanah bernama Night Revenge mulai bangkit sebagai simbol perlawanan terhadap rezim yang mengatasnamakan stabilitas demi membenarkan kekerasannya. Di tengah konflik tersebut, Ian, seorang pemuda berdarah campuran, menyaksikan keluarganya hilang dalam operasi militer yang menelan ratusan korban sipil. Malam itu mengubah seluruh hidupnya. Bertekad mencegah tragedi serupa terulang, ia memilih bergabung dengan pasukan pertahanan negara. Ia percaya bahwa musuh terbesar bukanlah negara, melainkan orang-orang yang menyalahgunakan kekuasaan di dalamnya. Namun, semakin tinggi jabatannya, semakin jelas ia melihat bahwa kekerasan, manipulasi, dan kebohongan telah mengakar di tubuh pemerintahan yang ia bela. Ketika sebuah serangan drone besar melanda Picana, seluruh warga baik warga keturunan maupun aparat negara terpaksa mengesampingkan permusuhan demi menyelamatkan nyawa satu sama lain. Untuk sesaat, harapan akan perdamaian seolah menjadi kenyataan. Namun, setelah bencana merenggut ratusan korban jiwa, pemerintah memanfaatkan situasi tersebut untuk memperkuat propaganda bahwa konflik telah berakhir. Kedamaian yang diberitakan media hanyalah ilusi. Di balik layar, operasi penangkapan, penghilangan paksa, dan pembantaian terhadap warga keturunan terus berlangsung secara sistematis. Pemberontakan tidak pernah benar-benar padam, melainkan tumbuh dalam bayang-bayang ketakutan. Sembilan tahun kemudian, Ian telah menjadi perwira menengah yang dihormati. Di balik kariernya yang cemerlang, ia menemukan dokumen rahasia yang mengungkap bahwa perang selama bertahun-tahun bukanlah kegagalan pemerintah, melainkan konflik yang sengaja dipelihara demi mempertahankan kekuasaan.

The Villainess Now Has the Whole Galaxy on Their Knees

The Villainess Now Has the Whole Galaxy on Their Knees

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
