betrayed

Talent and change, those two define humanity. But if you lack neither innate talent nor do you possess the ability to change, what are you? As a freshman at Laxus Flare Academy, Elliot Elanderin is surrounded by geniuses and talents you couldn’t find anywhere else. Compared to them, or anyone really, Elliot is pathetically ordinary, someone without a defining skill, role, or value. One day, after battling with his inner thoughts once more, he hears a sound that felt outside of this world. That sound leads him to a girl. A girl who embodies everything he wasn’t. Elliot begins to learn about not her talent, not her looks, but her. And along the way, she learns about him as well. As that friendship flourishes, he begins to learn more about the friends he was already surrounded by. New relations develop, both platonic and romantic. New struggles are revealed, both internal and external. With these new conflicts, Elliot’s life grows increasingly chaotic. After each one, more questions arise. Fortunately, he only had to answer one.

“City of Quiet Wars A feared literary mogul recovering from illness crosses paths with a former prisoner whose favorite novel helped her survive incarceration. Their lives collide in a city where power hides pain and healing arrives in unexpected forms.

Esther Besson is a brilliant, kind-hearted, and determined young woman, raised within a powerful yet deeply united family. The only daughter of Alex Besson, an influential businessman, and Asaël, a strong and loving woman, Esther has always grown up surrounded by love, strong values, and high expectations. Trained from a very young age to one day take over the family business, she moves through life with calmness, intelligence, and remarkable maturity. When her parents entrust her with leading a strategic meeting abroad, Esther has no idea that this journey will turn her entire life upside down. What was meant to be a simple business merger becomes a political and emotional trap: the family company must unite with that of the Arrisons, led by Jon Arrison, her father’s longtime best friend. But the real shock comes from Tony Arrison. Cold, distant, arrogant, and mysterious, Tony is the heir to the Arrison empire. Forced by his father to marry Esther in order to ensure the continuity and stability of the company, he accepts an arranged marriage he never chose. Esther, on her side, discovers that this engagement is the only way to protect her family and her future, after being betrayed by Malik, the man she thought she loved—manipulated by his father’s hatred and thirst for revenge. Trapped in an agreement that goes far beyond them, Esther and Tony find themselves bound by an imposed alliance filled with silence, tension, and confrontation. He shields himself behind a wall of ice. She responds with dignity, respect, and a quiet strength that gradually disarms every attack. In a world where business dictates feelings, where alliances are sealed through marriage, and where past grudges threaten the future, Esther must learn to make a choice: submit to her destiny or transform it. What if this forced marriage, born of constraint and conflict, were to slowly become a place of rebirth, healing… and perhaps an unexpected love?

Eight humans once became gods to protect the world. Humanity repaid them with betrayal. One by one, the Guardian Gods fell and turned to stone, and the creator cursed the world they failed to protect. Monsters rose from the shadows, kingdoms crumbled, and hope slowly faded from the land. Now the fallen gods lie buried and forgotten. But Princess Flora refuses to accept a dying world. Determined and fearless, she sets out on a dangerous journey to awaken the Guardian Gods and restore peace. Yet the deeper she searches for the truth behind their fall, the more she begins to realize that the gods’ fate—and the curse on the world—may hide a secret far more terrifying than anyone ever imagined.

Tormented by the unjust accusations of people, Roy continues to flee from city to city, seeking to disappear from the police's eyes. Years ago, people thought he was a murderer just because he had held a gun in his hand. No one would believe that he was innocent; they just thought of him as a dangerous criminal until he was forced into being one. Only he knew the truth of what happened that day. But then, a sudden light glowed in the darkness; it was hope. Hope to recreate his past. He hopes to clear himself of the accusations. Hope to wash away the years of torment. What will Roy do to bring that hope to reality? And who will help him when everybody has abandoned him?

Tiana was never the girl people chose first. She was the girl who stayed. The girl who forgave. The girl who loved so deeply she almost forgot herself. In the barracks, Joshua became her first everything—first love, first heartbreak, first mistake. Their relationship was built on hidden promises and whispered nights, until Tiana begins to realize that loving him has slowly become another way of losing herself. Then university changes everything. Joshua wants her back only after he begins to lose her. Stephen, the quiet boy who has spent his whole life feeling too much and saying too little, is forced to face the truth about the girl he once blamed. Nadia has loved Stephen from afar for years, carrying unread letters and feelings she was never allowed to keep. And Dare—the boy everyone thinks they know—turns out to be the son of one of the most powerful families in the country, trapped between a life chosen for him and the girl he cannot let go. As old wounds reopen, secrets unravel, and love begins to shift in unexpected ways, each of them must decide: Do you keep holding on to the people who hurt you— or do you finally choose yourself? Because sometimes, the greatest love story is not about being chosen. It is about finding the courage to walk away… and becoming someone new.

Long ago, the earth was a perfect symphony of life, until human greed shattered the fragments of the Aether Stone—the magical core that sustained the world’s rotation. In an instant, time itself seemed to cease its ticking. The world was torn asunder; one half scorched to ashes by a relentless sun, while the other was trapped in an eternal frozen night beneath the shroud of the Blood Red Moon. In the frozen half of the world, every falling snowflake is a tear of regret for those who destroyed the earth. The remnants of humanity now seek refuge behind the Great Wall of PETERUM-MAN, a technological fortress harboring dark secrets behind every hiss of its steam engines. Nugia (Subject 009), an innocent youth, awakens with no memories. He is trained to become an instrument of demise, an emotionless Assassin under the iron fist of Lord Vier. Yet, within his veins pulses a primordial power known as the blue-Azure Sasmita—an anomaly capable of halting the very flow of time. Alongside his comrades in fate, Nugia is ensnared in a vortex of betrayal and horrific human experimentation. As the trails of his past begin to unravel through his mother’s secret recordings, Nugia realizes he is no mere soldier. He is the Heir of Sasmita, the ultimate key to reuniting the nine fragments of the Aether Stone. Will Nugia be able to rewind a dead world? Or will he crumble before the true dawn can ever shine upon the earth once more? "When this symphony is whole, the earth shall turn again. Yet beware, for the sunlight sometimes bears a curse far worse than the darkness."

“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.” In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality. Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts. Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another. Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts. “Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.” Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts. Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired. Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side. But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul? It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space. “S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?” “Why? Do you want to take their place?” “...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.” With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this! Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade. Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure. What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle. Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality? #BL #Fantasy #Modern #Anthropomorph Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Spicychili All right reserved.
