Alden’s nights are plagued by dreams that burn too vividly to ignore visions of fire, war drums, and a dying woman whispering his name. He wakes breathless, heart pounding, convinced they’re just nightmares. Just stress. Until the shadows arrive. What begins as an ordinary school day turns into chaos when dark, formless entities descend on campus invisible to most, but felt by everyone. Lights shatter. Students collapse. Screams rip through the halls. And the shadows? They don’t just attack. They recognize him. Now, hunted by forces he doesn’t understand and haunted by memories that may not be his, Alden is thrust into a world where ancient powers stir, and forgotten gods are no longer silent. He thought he was dreaming. But the truth is waking. Please read: This is a work of fiction.

Setelah Alaric dan aku terikat, wanita yang dia cintai, Caelia, mengakhiri hidupnya sendiri. Dia membenciku karenanya, dan aku bukan tipe yang mudah mengalah. Jadi, selama tiga puluh tahun berikutnya, kutukan paling beracun yang kami lontarkan satu sama lain adalah, "Semoga kau mati dengan cara yang mengerikan." Racun mulai bereaksi setelah aku meminum segelas air yang dia berikan padaku. Dia ingin membunuhku untuk membalas dendam Caelia. Jadi, aku bertahan hingga dia pulang, dan dengan napas terakhirku, aku menghunuskan belati perak ke dadanya. Tapi di saat-saat terakhirku, aku mendengarnya menggunakan sisa kekuatannya untuk memerintahkan anak buahnya, "Penawarnya... Berikan padanya... Setelah aku pergi... cari siapa yang telah meracuninya... Dan... ketika dia bangun, jangan beri tahu dia... Akulah yang menyelamatkannya..." Baru saat itulah aku menyadari betapa salahnya kami berdua selama ini. Ketika aku terlahir kembali, hal pertama yang kulakukan adalah menerima proyek arsitektur di luar negeri. Aku akan pergi jauh, memberinya kesempatan untuk hidup damai selamanya dengan orang yang benar-benar dia cintai.

[Hidebound Older Man VS Two-Faced Heiress: Daddy-Type + Seductress + An Old House on Fire] Everyone in Aethelgard says, a man should marry a woman from the West Family. The eldest daughter of the West Family is gentle and virtuous, a sought-after prize in high society. On the eve of her engagement. Her fiancé cheated on her. Willow West, having played the good girl for so long, decides she's done pretending. Fueled by alcohol, she finds a handsome man. Just one wall away from the scumbag ex and his mistress. The next day, she wakes up to her world collapsing. She had slept with the circle's famous 'older man'—Aiden Pierce, her dear uncle's best friend. Her impression of Aiden Pierce wasn't very good. Years ago, when she was having her first romance, she had tried to sneak a kiss with her young boyfriend, only for Aiden Pierce to report her to her uncle before their lips could even meet. The Aiden Pierce of today is even more dull—celibate and restrained, with everyone from his secretary to his assistant being male, and zero romantic scandals to his name. He's nothing short of a hidebound traditionalist! Willow West wants to escape. Aiden Pierce's well-defined hand grips her chin. "Miss West, a man's virtue is still virtue. You must take responsibility for me." * Aiden Pierce, who had practiced self-restraint for thirty years, was captured by Willow West—a woman gentle and demure in public, yet passionate and daring in private. Everyone thought Willow West was a good girl. Only Aiden Pierce knew that behind closed doors, the young woman not only smoked and drank but was also a cool, badass biker. * The assistant has recently noticed a change in the workaholic President Pierce. Not only is he hitting the gym three times a week, but his style has also shifted from uniform high-end suits to a different streetwear brand for every day of the week. His once stern and unsmiling face now frequently breaks into a smile. Even his eternally unchanged screensaver has been replaced. It's now a picture of a sexy, wavy-haired beauty in a black biker suit, holding a cigarette and sitting on a motorcycle!
