During his passing, Ran witnessed a djinn appear to take his father's soul to hell (NARAKU), but during the process, Ran caught a glimpse of hell before the spiritual portal dispersed.

The walls still smelled of smoke when Luca opened his eyes. Ash drifted like tired snow, settling on leather boots and broken glass. His hands trembled, stained dark, but he couldn’t say whose blood it was. Outside, sirens wailed like mourning wolves. He stepped into the street, and the city looked back — neon, rain, old hunger. A bartender recognized him and flinched. “Thought you were dead.” Maybe he was. In flashes he saw a rooftop under a red moon. A woman. Rhea. Her voice like warmth through winter: Don’t forget who you are. But he had. Now, every alley whispered his name — some in awe, some in warning. The beast inside stirred, pacing, remembering what he could not. Luca walked on, jaw set, heart heavy. He would find the truth. Even if it tore him open like the moon tears the tide.

In an instant, I went from being the poorest student on campus to someone they never saw coming. And now, it's my turn to change the game.

Ethan Cross was no ordinary mercenary. Beneath his skin, something ancient lurked — a fragment of divinity long thought destroyed. He was Aurelian, the Warlord of the Sun, a god exiled from Heaven for daring to defy the divine order. Now reborn as a man, he has no knowledge of his pasty life, his power sealed across six celestial locks, he walks the human world as both weapon and curse. But when a mafia heiress named Elena Vitale saves him from the brink of death, everything changes. In her eyes, he sees the spark he lost — compassion. Humanity. And something dangerous: faith. He was ready to endure anything for her, including the degradation and humiliation her family put him through until he could take it no more and when all six locks sealing his powers were broken, his memory returned, he decided to fight the world back with his divinity and power.

At twenty-five, Esteban Rodriguez is dying from an undiagnosed illness—slowly, painfully, and without answers. What he doesn’t expect is for his wife to grow tired of waiting. Miranda once promised to stay by his side through sickness and health. Now she’s counting the cost. When the medical bills drain their savings and Esteban loses the ability to work, Miranda finally snaps—telling him, for the first time, that his life is a burden she can no longer carry. But the breaking point comes on a crowded city bus, when Esteban spots a woman who looks exactly like his wife walking into a luxury hotel. During work hours. Dressed to impress. Laughing with someone who isn’t him. Desperate for answers, he follows her inside… and what he discovers behind those hotel doors shatters more than just his heart. Sometimes, the worst part of dying isn’t the illness. It’s realizing the person you love has already buried you. A raw, emotional story of betrayal, heartbreak, and the impossible choice between fighting for life—and letting go of love.
