Ebony had never been very… normal. Neither was his upbringing, but it didn’t stop him from living a somewhat normal life. His younger school years had quite some disruptions but all else went as per normal. Left alone after he turned 15 and was deemed old and capable enough to care for himself. He went on graduating high school and entering a university with no issue. Ebony never faced any problem in life. He didn’t lack money. He could see his entire future pan out for him and he was sure it was going to go as expected. Graduate, get a stable job, build up a family, live to a ripe old age together with his partner. Boring. Not that he didn’t want any of that and the building of a family might prove difficult seeing how he had been single for all 20 years of his life. There was little he looked forward to in life. His daily routine of training had been moulded into him from as far back as he could remember and has become a habit and a hobby. Reading was one outlet for his boredom, fantasy, swords and magic, a world unlike his own where perhaps his training would have some use. One moment he was on the way back from a job interview for a part time job, the next moment he found himself in a forest. Freezing... Snowing in the middle of Summer? Not important. Appearing in a forest out of nowhere? Not important. A metre tall and twice as long ripped ass boar in sight? Cool. Charging right towards him? Not so cool.

Mencintai seseorang secara mendalam berarti ingin memenjarakannya dengan kunci emas. Saat Duan Yelin pertama kali melihat Xu Hang, dia ingin mengurungnya dan menyembunyikan kecantikannya di rumah emas—dan kenyataannya, dia melakukannya. Jika ia menangkapnya dengan paksa, ia adalah perampok; jika ia sabar dan acuh tak acuh, ia akan menjadi daging di sumpit orang lain. Xu Hang awalnya enggan, tetapi ia ingin hidup. Masih banyak hal yang belum ia lakukan, sehingga akhirnya ia memasuki Xiaotong Guan. Ini adalah pertarungan yang sudah berlangsung lama. Bahkan setelah empat tahun terjerat, Xu Hang selalu tampak seperti semangkuk obat yang baru diseduh, dengan aroma samar, tetapi hanya setelah meminumnya seseorang dapat mengetahui apakah itu racun atau penawar. Lama kemudian Duan Yelin baru menyadari bahwa yang dikurungnya bukanlah seekor burung pipit emas yang dingin dan sombong, melainkan sebuah tusuk rambut emas yang dingin dan tajam.

The world of Noax is not a planet; it is the corpse of a dead god floating in a sea of Grey Fog. For eons, civilizations have risen and fallen, trapped in a terrifying cycle. In every era, humanity seeks power by binding "Aspects"—living concepts like Fire, War, or Time—to their flesh. But power comes with a price: to bind a concept, one must lose their humanity. History is a graveyard of nine apocalypses. Now, the Tenth Era has begun.

Dans un monde déchiré par la fusion ancienne entre l’univers humain et le royaume féérique, les cendres de la guerre, du rejet et de l’injustice continuent d’alimenter les rêves brisés de ceux qu’on a toujours laissés de côté. Elle, c’est une jeune Fée née sans ailes, méprisée de tous, vivant dans les Basfonds de Sylvania, dernier bastion d’une monarchie aussi brillante que pourrie de l’intérieur. Lui, c’est un humain errant, survivant d’un massacre oublié, porteur d’un pouvoir dévastateur et d’un nom effacé, que l’on surnomme avec crainte… le Héros. Leurs routes se croisent dans un royaume où les couronnes se disputent par le sang, où les dieux se sont tus, et où les cicatrices de l’Histoire hurlent sous la surface. Entre complots royaux, rivalités tribales, assassinats politiques et tournois meurtriers, ils devront apprendre à survivre, à se haïr, à s’entraider… et peut-être à réécrire les règles d’un monde qui ne leur a jamais laissé de place. Mais alors que des forces anciennes s’éveillent, que la frontière entre rêve et cauchemar se brouille, la légende du premier Héros et de la première Fée pourrait renaître… ou s’éteindre à jamais.

As tensions rise between nations, millions of people are caught in the middle. Death tolls rise and the value of human life is discarded as governments solve their disputes by throwing as many bodies as they can at each other. The world now feeding the flames of destruction with hatred and death, faces yet another world war. In the midst of it all, several nations improved their technology and incorporated it within their weapons. The Republic of Lanston, formerly France, Belgium and Germany, led the arms race and began a secret supersoldier program as a trump card to win the impending war. Taking disabled veterans and soldiers who are no longer fit for combat and turning them to lab rats for body augmentations. Wanting to turn them to mindless killing machines, failing and killing most of their experiments in the process then calling them a necessary sacrifice to achieve power over all their rivals. Enter Hilbert Straüss, one of the few who had successful augmentations and is considered the strongest out of the program. They operated under the grid and were mainly used before to kill anyone who opposes Lanston's government. As the war slowly creeps up on the world, Lanston activates the program once more and requested to have all available field agents to be attached to the military. The world will now see a new generation of weapons that will forever change the face of warfare.
