Life is given for free but happiness comes with a cost that many can't afford to pay. *********** Even with the dark grey clouds that hovered over the vast sky and the dim light provided by the fire torch that was on the verge of being blown off by the wind, he could still see the glimmer in her eyes. The very same glimmer that appeared in those brown eyes everytime she was happy and for some reason, tonight he was unable to resist hir urges to steal a part of her. She was still standing by the door waiting for him to leave but he had not taken more than three steps before he halted and turned. His features were darker in contrast to the white shirt that he wore and the look on his face was a predatory one. Instead of getting scared, she watched him take the three stairs that led to her room's door and he was a few inches away from her, he finally spoke up. "If there is one thing that I hate, it's having regrets and I know that I will regret if I do not do this." A part of her was confused by his words and another part felt like she knew what he meant by those words. Before she even had a chance to contemplate on what he had just said, he leaned closer, curled his index finger on her pointed chin and tilted her in an angle such that she could feel his cold breath on her face that caused a shiver to run down her spine. Like she had been hypnotized, all she could do was to stare in those obsidian eyes that had held her captive. "This is a mistake that I want to commit again and again." His breath fanned on her face and goosebumps formed on her skin. Not because of the wind, but because of the effect he had on her. If it was some time before, she would have probably pushed him away or maybe escaped but as time had passed by, her feelings towards him had changed...

Everyone knew Lin Wu was a fake heiress. The moment the real daughter returned, she was abandoned by the wealthy Lin family without hesitation. Humiliated. Disowned. Cast aside. People expected her to disappear quietly. Instead, the world uncovered her terrifying secret identities one after another. Top hacker. Medical genius. Underground fighter. Financial mastermind. And behind her... Stood the most dangerous man in North City. Lord Nine himself. “You abandoned me first,” she said calmly. “Now you don't deserve to know who I really am.”

For generations, the islands of Tilbara lived in fragile harmony. Amakatsu, Harama, Shinganatsu, Evalia and Durama believed themselves safe beneath the silent guardianship of forgotten myths—Rudhana the Seer of Roots, Nagalira the Mirror-Serpent, and the unnamed echoes said to exist inside the Dreamscape, a realm between memory and reality. But peace ends the moment strange creatures—half-dream, half-flesh—spill into Harama. These are no mere beasts; they are Dream-Born, abominations leaking from a fractured rift deep beneath the world. Kabe Hiroki and his younger brother Ken, two academy youths with simple expectations, are dragged into the unfolding disaster when the Rift Beneath Harama erupts. Students vanish into echo storms. Some return… rewritten. Others never return at all. Harama barely survives the catastrophe, saved only through the desperate sacrifice of Tina-sensei, whose forbidden “Falling Orchid Seal” halts the collapse—but costs her life and fractures the island’s stability. As Trails flicker across the sky and Anchors awaken for the first time in centuries, Ken and Kabe become tied to forgotten history. The brothers discover that the Dreamscape is not a myth—it is the birthplace of the first memories, of the Five Pillars, and of ancient sins concealed by time. Through shifting maps, rewritten names, and ghostly echoes, the truth emerges: someone is altering the world itself. This manipulator is revealed to be Arcana, the First Upper Rank of the Memory Theater—a master of rewritten histories, guided by unseen powers in Kurogane. As Durama falls, the Trails ignite and a catastrophic Memory Storm tears across Tilbara, erasing, rewriting, and reshaping reality. With the Fifth Trail opening above them, Ken and Kabe cling to each other as the world fractures.

Maybe a little less? Looking back now, I wasn't that naive...was I? *Names will be omitted and replaced with "XXXXX" in order to keep some semblance of privacy.*
