The agony he felt was no different from dying. “You have lost it all what now?are you going to build again, what’s the plan ” Laughing he looked away from the window to face her. “Why?” She was confused by the response “what do you mean by why?” Smiling he sat up straight and looked straight into her eyes. “I haven’t found out why?” She really couldn’t get what he was saying “can you give a clear answer about what you mean by why?” Standing up he turned to leave with his hands in his pocket, on getting to the door he turned and faced her “I don’t know why too, so you can stick around and find out why too before you write your article” With that he walked out of the cafe. An empire isn’t built in a day, but it can go down in a day. What’s the use of it all then? At what cause does man need to grow

"She is poison But the necessary poison To heal the land." Hated by the noble family who adopted her, sixteen year old Thanea Mikaelie von Correns, unintentionally summoned one of the most powerful magick, otherwise known as gramarye, that took the life of all people under the Correns' surname with a single exception...her own. Unknown to Thanea, she is a Diamond, a bearer of a part of a High Being, and the rarest form of gramarye. Assumed as a Dual when she entered the Academy of Magic-users called Pandemonium, someone who can manipulate gramarye from two of its Suits, she chose the suit of Club while using the name Wynter as an alias. With her strong will, feared gramarye, and the promise that she kneel to no one but herself, Wynter is on the quest to atone for sins forcibly inflicted and manipulated on her fate. Then there is also the revenge she must bestow on the recently discovered third party which ruined her life years prior. In a world where heroes do not exist, only villains and monsters, there are no allies to trust. Only deep and strong emotions like friendship and love can withstand the wind to keep the flame burning. Atonement and revenge are double-edged swords, and as payment, one must continuously be broken. Cover credits: Rhett Wesley Copyright by Sejuru All Rights Reserved

The only thing he has to fear in this word is himself.

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?"
