Synopsis
“You think I care for what happens to my life?” “The last thing that is certain to happen to all humans is death. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” * Gemma thought that in her life she would never go out while Elenio’s sky was still dark. But after she moved to Ayria, the capital of Elenio, she had that opportunity. Living in a country that has a curfew, Gemma and the millions of people in Elenio never get to enjoy the atmosphere after sunset. Elenio is a beautiful small country in the South Pacific Ocean. At first glance, this country looks like an ordinary country, but actually, this little country holds a big thing: Draconian. Night creatures that roam and kill humans. Of all the inhabitants of Elenio, only the Arcthurian, a special force formed to fight the Draconians, had ever seen the figure of this monstrous creature. Gemma’s work at a nightclub, a forbidden place in Elenio, the actions of her childhood best friend, Jonathan, and Gemma’s encounter with a mysterious handsome man, brings Gemma to be involved in Archturian. Until finally Gemma finds out that the curse of this country is closely related to her.

Prologue
There will be a great storm coming.
Hazkiel could feel it from the strong and cold wind blowing, and from the dark clouds rolling in the sky, enveloping the corners of the country in darkness. Ordinary people might think that this phenomenon was purely due to bad weather. But no, it was all because of that creature.
“Princess! We must go now!” A familiar voice came from behind Hazkiel, causing him and the Princess to turn around.
The first time Hazkiel heard that call, he felt amused. Because the person being called “Princess” was much younger than him, and her attitude did not at all reflect that of a princess. But after everything they had been through together, Hazkiel never saw the Princess as a joke again.
“Hazkiel, remember my message.”
Hazkiel could only nod. He wanted to suggest trying another way, to say that everything didn’t have to end here. He wanted to say that he couldn’t go through the days after this without her. But that was just his selfish voice. The country was at stake and it wasn’t the time to prioritize himself.
The Princess turned to him, her usually sharp eyes softening for a moment, as she looked at him, tears falling from the pair of eyes that often stole glances at him every time they spent the night together, staring at the line of stars she called her home.
Now or never, Hazkiel’s heart whispered.
Screwed the selfishness, screwed with the destruction of this country. For Hazkiel, only this woman is the most important.
“Lanaya, I—”
“To be honest, I want us to always be together.”
Hazkiel was surprised. Why did Lanaya say it now?
Her words only made Hazkiel’s emotional defenses crumble.
Lanaya started to run after saying a farewell sentence that would haunt Hazkiel for the rest of his life. Hazkiel reached out his hand, trying to chase after her. He wanted to reach Lanaya but was stopped by a very bright light that blinded him.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed in the sky, accompanied by a loud explosion.
“LANAYA!!”
Hazkiel was thrown backward by that power. He knew he should have moved aside, but he couldn’t. Hazkiel wanted to embrace Lanaya, something he had always wanted to do, but never got the chance.
And now he already lost the chance forever.

The Arc: Elenio (English) Bonus Chapter - This Is Wrong
“Re—a relationship?” Gemma stammered. “What do you mean?” Gemma was just about to tell Nero to forget what had happened between them. Especially after Gemma found out that Nero had been in charge of watching her all along, and he knew all of Gemma’s movements and habits. And after what Jo said, about Gemma being unable to be in a relationship with anyone… starting it now sounds like a bad idea. “You don’t understand?” There was disbelief in the way Nero asked the question. Yes, of course he didn’t believe it. Gemma wasn’t a child who didn’t understand Nero’s question. “It’s not like that...” Gemma said. “I understand.” Gemma closed her eyes for a moment as she took a deep breath. As she did so, she could hear a voice from inside her head. Either her own voice or Lanaya’s. This is wrong. “Then what is your answer?” Gemma opened her eyes, blinked, then looked at Nero. “Should I answer it now?” “I’m sure you’ll have the answer as soon as I ask.” “You know me very well, don’t yo

The time setting for this chapter is after the terror incident in Fiend (Chapter: Act of Patience) and before Gemma trains with Servant (Chapter: Mind Over Matter).---Gemma had no idea what she was doing here.When Jo asked her out earlier, Gemma thought Jo was taking her to a lunch or asking her to investigate something. He had only said about making a visit before returning to Meubena, and Gemma did not know that Jo was referring to a visit to the Saint Anna orphanage.This is Sarah and Nero’s house.The way Gemma looked at Nero felt different now, after what they had been through. The alarm squealing that their relationship wasn’t the right thing was still sounding, and with Lanaya in her body, Gemma couldn’t act as she pleased.At least she couldn’t possibly kiss anyone right now. Gemma imagined Lanaya would let out a disgusted snort if she found Gemma doing it.But Gemma couldn’t avoid or forbid people from saying something to her.Just like Nero was doing now, in the gazebo in

The sound of three meters wide glass hitting the ground seemed to stop time for a while.Gemma and Nero froze where they stood, looking at each other wide-eyed. Their kiss stopped, even with any thoughts that had previously crept into their minds and clouded their vision.Everything happened in seconds, but every moment felt so slow.As the Draconians flying around the tower stopped and turned around. The roar, the flapping of wings, and the pair of red eyes that now turned to Gemma and Nero.“Run!” shouted Nero.Gemma took the initiative a split second before Nero gave the order. She ran towards the stairs, but stopped and gave way to Nero because Gemma didn’t know where to run.Neither of them carried any special weapons, and even though Gemma only found out yesterday that she wouldn’t die when hit by a Draconian’s claw, that didn’t mean Gemma would just fight them off with no weapons.Gemma’s palms throbbed as she followed Nero down the stairs. Several Draconians caught up with the

“Who would have thought he’s that crazy woman’s boyfriend?”“How can she act like that when she has a boyfriend?”Gemma nodded, agreeing with Nero’s words. They left the laser tag arena as soon as the matter with the man was resolved.It turns out that after Gemma took Nero away from the woman named Angel; she called her boyfriend and said that Gemma had hurt her. Her boyfriend came to the laser tag arena not long after and insisted to take part in the game.The misunderstanding was resolved when Nero asked the manager to show the CCTV footage shortly after the briefing was done. It’s clear that Angel approached Gemma and Nero first and Gemma did nothing to her.“You should have asked for compensatory damage,” muttered Nero.“I don’t want to prolong the problem.” It’s as if Gemma hasn’t had much of a problem.Then Nero looked at Gemma, who was walking beside him. “Sorry. We failed to win the competition.”Gemma shrugged. “No problem,” she said. “There are many other ways to earn money

After registering, Gemma received a vest with a pentagon-shaped light on the chest. She put on the vest, then tied her hair with a rubber band that she carried around her wrist. Nero handed her a black laser gun with an arm-length rope. He attached the hook at the end of the rope to the hook on the front of Gemma’s vest. “The rules are simple. Point your gun at your opponent’s front, at the light on the vest,” Nero explained, pointing to the pentagon light on Gemma’s vest which now glowed aquamarine. The lamp is divided into five parts. “If all these lights go out, it means you lose and you have to quit the game.” Then Nero pointed towards the door that was opposite the entrance. The door was wide open, and Gemma could see expanses of clearing with tall trees growing within a few feet of each other. “We will do outdoor games. The team that retrieves the suitcase in the abandoned house, on the other end, will be the winner.” Gemma nodded, telling Nero she understood. As Gemma raised

Their first stop was the restaurant Gemma used to go to with Jo. This restaurant is always full at lunchtime, and most of the visitors are students and office workers who are taking a break. Gemma could only grumble inside her heart as pairs of eyes stared hungrily at Nero, as if he was the main dish in this place. If this had happened to Jo, Gemma would definitely nag and glare at those flirtatious girls. “Where do you want to sit?” asked Nero. They stopped in the middle of the restaurant and became the center of attention, like a Christmas tree with twinkling lights. Gemma looked around in a huff before grabbing Nero’s arm and leading him to a row of benches outside the restaurant. “Let’s sit here,” said Gemma. Then she dragged a stool near them and motioned for Nero to sit down. Nero offered a small smile before he sat down and that smile didn’t go away when Gemma sat across from him. “What is it?” Gemma asked, while side-eyeing from time to time at the group of students who wer
