July wedding

V_Smakayla
“July… unlike any other month, has always been tangled with my life. Flowers bloom brighter, the skies turn clearer, and even the weather seems to pause for a gentle rest. Everything looks dreamlike in July—long golden days, and nights that feel like heaven. Just like a dream, my wedding too ended in this month. Exactly two weeks later comes my birthday—I was born in July. Amma always says I am blessed by the goddesses, that July carries prosperity for those born in it. But if July brings blessings… will this marriage bring me happiness too?” This story is about two emotionally different birds, connected together by the fate of arranged marriage and drawn close to each other without much consent. They realize that life is not a typical romantic movie plot, where you can clearly differentiate between love, care, and responsibility. A couple’s relationship is often intertwined with the love of other relationships, where responsibility and toxicity can sometimes feel the same.

The Extra: Subject 082

Rio only wanted to see how the story ended. Instead, he woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist, not even as a supporting character—but as someone who barely existed in the narrative. An extra with no importance, no future, and no place in the story’s direction. At least, that’s how it was supposed to be. Now in the body of Rio Valen, a disgraced noble exiled from his own house, he finds himself in a region the original story barely touched—one driven as much by advanced technology as it is by arcane power. And buried beneath it, something far worse. The facility he wakes up in shouldn’t exist. The experiments conducted there shouldn’t have succeeded. And whatever was placed inside him was never meant to survive. As fragments of memory return—both his own and the life he inherited—Rio begins to understand the situation he’s in. The world still follows its original course. The key figures are still moving toward the same future. But his existence doesn’t fit anywhere within it. Even so, people begin to notice him. Not because of who he is—but because of something they can’t quite explain. A presence. A flaw. Or something far more dangerous. Some approach out of curiosity. Others, for reasons he doesn’t understand. And a few, simply because staying away isn’t an option. With no role to follow and no clear path ahead, Rio is left with a simple choice: Stay invisible and survive. Or step into a story that was never meant to include him. Because in a world that already has its main character— an extra that shouldn’t exist might be the only thing that can change it. **The cover used is temperoray, I hold no credits towards the art**
