There is a layer to this story that cannot be reached through the surface plot alone. Clues have been deliberately woven throughout the story for the author and readers to uncover together. Everything needed to reach it should already exist in the knowledge and tools we possess, yet it has not fallen into anyone’s hands—not yet. As you read on, the story quietly waits for someone to notice. *** DEVOUR. The ordinary. The reality. The world. Despair, hope, good and evil—none are permitted. The prophecy is fulfilled here. Soon, the world will lose everything. And the man who once saved it has already lost himself. *** The boundary between illusion and reality had long since ceased to exist. In the year 20XX, without warning or precedent, Monsters emerged — consuming cities, devouring lives, swallowing the world’s last reserves of hope whole. And then, when humanity had nearly surrendered to despair, a Savior appeared. What awaited him was a death sentence — the charge: high treason against the state. Stripped of everything that had ever made him himself, he was cast into a cold and indifferent sea. Yet even there, sinking through the abyss, a light found him — the luminance of a Goddess, merging with what remained of his shattered soul. Darkness coiled around him like a living thing, its tendrils hungry and absolute. And still, against all reason, he was pulled back to the surface. He returned with nothing. No past. No name. No self. They gave him a new one — Ariwara Yūki — and with it, a second life stitched together from silence and borrowed time. Beside him walked Sano Amana, the girl who would become his anchor, and for a while, the two of them knew something that almost resembled ordinary days. Then the Monsters came back. They always come back. As his own memories continue to bleed away, Yūki pursues the vanishing silhouette of Amana — drawn ever deeper into a storm where government conspiracies and the ambitions of shadowed factions grind against each other like tectonic plates. He was once the Savior of this world. Now he has nothing. So what, exactly, can a man with nothing left — do? *** Comedy / Ecchi / Fantasy / Harem / Horror / Mature / Mystery / Romance / School Life / Sci-fi / Slice of Life / Supernatural / Tragedy From Japanese Full-length light novel This translation is provided by the author.

In a world on the brink of destruction where myths and legends blur together, a prophecy remains the only perspective for the future. It foretells the ultimate struggle between good and evil—the destruction or the salvation of the world—born from the blade brandished by the Warrior of Ashes. However, for Thiongane soldiers like Pierre, this story is nothing more than a tale, a tall story. Amidst the constant horrors and the permanent anguish felt during every new battle against the Djinns for three centuries, they have never seen even a shadow of these Boechins and their radiant powers. And Pierre’s only experience with the gods had long since convinced him that they should expect no favorable divine intervention. But whether one believes it or not changes nothing. Despite himself, Pierre finds himself in the heart of the most tragic and ferocious battle he has ever known, unaware that it is the fruit of manipulations by entities beyond all human conception. And in the ashes of this tragedy, the story of a boy was meant to begin. The first cog in a cruel destiny whose mechanism seems unstoppable. The first prisoner of a web already woven. Georges Badji.

Mark always imagined being summoned to another world would lead to an incredible adventure. A legendary weapon, extraordinary powers, perhaps even a grand quest to defeat a Demon Lord, you know the usual. Instead, he gets three ordinary abilities, a mysterious book, and a kingdom with a rather unusual problem: its population is declining. As if that weren't enough, the summoning gateway breaks, leaving Mark stranded in a world he never asked to visit. Now he must learn to survive in a place where his expectations are practically useless, his abilities aren't quite what he hoped for, and the kingdom's problems may be far more complicated than they appear.

Da-young was South Korea’s finest agent. Accustomed to dangerous missions, betrayal, and death, she had nevertheless believed that she had finally found someone she could trust. But during her final mission in Afghanistan, the man she loved betrayed her and condemned her to die. As she drew her final breath, a single thought crossed her mind: “So this is how my life ends... If I ever get another life, I’ll never believe in love again.” But death was not the end. Da-young awakens in a completely different world, inside the body of Stella Von Thalion, the legitimate heir to a powerful ducal house. Stella once had everything a young noblewoman could ever desire: a title, an inheritance, and an important place within her family. But everything was taken from her. Accused of a crime she did not commit, Stella was humiliated before the nobility. Her own father refused to believe her. Her stepmother despised her. And her half-sister, Angelia, the woman who pretended to be sweet and innocent, gradually took everything that belonged to Stella. Her title. Her inheritance. Her place within the family. And even the man who had once been destined to stand by her side. Eventually, Stella was sentenced to exile, far from the capital and everyone she knew. But when Da-young discovers Stella’s memories, she quickly realizes that Stella was never the true villain of this story. She was simply the perfect victim. And Da-young refuses to suffer the same fate. Now, she is Stella. A new life begins. A new Stella—colder, more determined, and above all, far more dangerous. She also possesses something no one in this world knows about: her grandmother’s ring. A mysterious ring capable of summoning whatever objects she desires, though its powers still hide countless secrets. With her experience as an agent, her knowledge of the modern world, her mysterious power, and her newfound magical potential, Stella decides to completely change her circumstances. First, she will take back control of the Von Thalion Duchy. Then, she will reclaim her inheritance. And finally, she will bring down, one by one, everyone who played a part in her downfall. But Stella does not simply want revenge. She wants to build something that belongs entirely to her. She no longer needs her father’s approval. She no longer needs the Emperor’s love. She no longer needs the nobility’s recognition. Everything that was stolen from her will return to her hands. And while Angelia continues to play the role of the perfect empress before the court, Stella silently prepares for her return. Because this time, the former victim will not ask for justice. She will take it herself. They exiled her, believing she would disappear. They forgot one thing. A true villainess does not need to be loved. She only needs to become powerful enough that everyone is forced to respect her. I am Stella Von Thalion. And I’m going to take everything back.

Elaria crossed the sea to bring her mate home. She expected Vaelor to be busy. She expected him to have a very good reason for disappearing into the human world for hundreds of years. She did not expect him to look her in the eye and calmly say: “My name is Valerian.” Even worse, the Duke of Edevane insists that he is human. That dragons are myths. And that the strange young woman who appeared at his estate claiming to be both a dragon and his lifelong mate should probably go home. Unfortunately for Valerian, Elaria knows exactly who he is. Unfortunately for Elaria, her mate has apparently forgotten everything. Now she must survive human society, learn why unmarried men and women are not supposed to sleep in the same room, pretend to be Valerian’s “distant relative,” and somehow convince a perfectly rational duke that he is, in fact, a dragon. Meanwhile, the strange anomalies Valerian has spent his human life hunting may be connected to something far older than either of them remembers. And the closer Elaria gets to the truth, the clearer one thing becomes: Vaelor did not simply forget his way home. He forgot that home ever existed.
