Yin Lie has always been an outsider in the glittering, rain-slicked canyons of Nocturnal Shadows City. He navigates the metropolis like a phantom, his true nature—a dangerous combination of heightened senses and a chilling aura—kept under a tight leash. His life of concealment ends in a hail of gunfire at the Old Docks. When a mysterious, energy-filled case cracks open, the dormant power within him erupts with devastating force. Two conflicting mutations awaken and declare war for his soul: the savage, instinct-driven strength of a lupine predator and the cold, orderly power of cryokinesis.

In his past life, Zhao Wendong was the only one in his entire family to survive. He wandered the world alone, endlessly going to the mountains and the sea each day to painstakingly hone his hunting and fishing skills, all because if he had possessed these abilities back then, his family would not have died. He always looked forward to nightfall, because in his dreams he could see his loved ones. He was always afraid of waking up, afraid that he might never dream of his family again, and even more afraid of forgetting their faces. Waking from his dreams countless midnights, Zhao Wendong couldn't help but think: if life could start over, he would definitely rely on his own skills to prevent his family from coming to harm and to ensure no one starved to death. Until one day, he was truly reborn, and could even hear the inner thoughts of animals......

Update on the Novel: Volume 1 has concluded with 115 chapters. The novel will be on hiatus for a while before Volume 2 begins. Volume 2 will introduce a new concept known as Owl Arcs. These arcs follow Taehyun and his companions during their journey before arriving in Korea. They form a core part of the main narrative rather than functioning as traditional flashbacks, gradually revealing the events that shaped the characters and their present circumstances. Later volumes will also feature dedicated character arcs for each of the five fugitives, exploring their individual pasts, how they survived, and the circumstances that ultimately led to them becoming fugitives. These will be clearly distinguished from Owl Arcs with titles such as “Alicia Fleur's Story START.” Six organisations. Six leaders. One relentless struggle for power. Caught in the middle of their conflict were five fugitives, people whose childhoods were anything but ordinary. Raised in violence and forced to survive through whatever means necessary, they eventually escaped the lives that had shaped them. Now adults, they continue running from the world that created them. Then, following a plane crash, they found a young boy. Rather than leave him behind, the five criminals took him with them and raised him in the shadows, far from the life he was ever meant to know. Years later, after countless brutal trials and bloodstained lessons, they return him to his homeland of Korea with one simple hope: That he can finally live as an ordinary teenager. Instead, Taehyun Navarro finds himself enrolled in a prestigious school where status is everything and intelligence can decide your future. Beneath its uniforms, classrooms, and ordinary teenage life lies another kind of battlefield. One built on manipulation, ambition, competition, and hidden agendas. Strangely enough, Taehyun feels at home. Compared to the world that raised him, school might be the closest thing to normality he has ever known. But as he tries to abandon the instincts that once kept him alive, a question begins to follow him: Can someone raised to survive ever truly learn how to live? And what does it truly mean to be normal? And if Taehyun makes it to graduation, will he continue toward the ordinary life he desperately wants or will he return to the roots he's spent years running from? Because while Taehyun fights to build a future, neither he nor the five people who raised him realise one simple truth: The past never stays buried.
