Japan Sinks

In order to save Alpha Varkon Stormclaw, who was poisoned with wolfsbane, I've used my life force to trade for the antidote with the witch. After the transaction, I become unusually weak. My wolf sinks into a deep slumber as well. Because of that, the elders have cast me out of the Moon Goddess Church. Nyla Ironcrest, the newly-appointed Luna, locks me up in a silver cage that's filled with wolfsbane. "How could a lowly and filthy defective she-wolf like you be a good match for the prestigious Alpha?" Varkon, who has once loved me with all his heart, gets tricked by Nyla into thinking that she's his savior. Not only does he sever our mate bond from me, but he also turns a deaf ear on my pleas for help. Defeated and devastated, I breathe my last breath in the silver cage. However, Varkon kneels before my corpse later on. He's struck with so much pain in the chest that he goes crazy. At the same time, he keeps spitting out blood. But I can never hear his confession of atonement ever again.

Susan Miller, my father's caretaker, often complains that the supplements keep running out. The wild kingroots that are worth 500 thousand dollars are completely used up even though Susan has only made soup with them twice in a row. As I filter through the medicinal residue with a frown on my face, Susan sinks down to her knees and begins slapping herself. "They must have melted in the soup because of my lack of attention! Please dock my pay, Ms. Lawson, but please don't fire me!" But that night, I come across a post uploaded by Susan's son, Roman Cox, on Instagram. "Hi everyone! Today, I'm challenging myself to eat two wild kingroots in one go!" When I see Roman picking up a familiar-lookng giftbox, I feel my temper flaring instantly. Then, I order a packet of potent aphrodisiacs meant for animals on the spot. It turns out that Roman intends to chug down my prized Romanee-Conti in the next episode of his stream. Well then, I'll let him have his feel of drinking something else!

In the sterile, glass-and-steel heart of Thorne Tower, Lyra Belcourt is a woman with a secret mission. To the world, she is a brilliant auditor sent to dissect the crumbling financial empire of the enigmatic Silas Thorne. To Silas, she is the first person in years who doesn't flinch at his cold, calculated dominance. Driven by a dark, magnetic attraction, Silas offers her a deal: absolute access to his ledgers in exchange for absolute submission to his "Protocol"—a rigid lifestyle contract governing her every move, breath, and thought. As Lyra enters the "Obsidian Room," the story unfolds as a high-stakes game of power and sensory exploration. However, the deeper she sinks into Silas’s world, the more the reality around them begins to fracture. Silas is plagued by "glitches" in his memory and a haunting sense of deja vu, while Lyra is secretly recording his every physiological response. The corporate war with the ruthless Caspian Vane is merely a distraction from the terrifying truth hidden within the Gilded Ledger.

Silas is a personality construct built by Lyra herself to replace a broken man named Leo. In a final, heart-stopping revelation, the readers discover that even Lyra’s control is an illusion—they are both trapped in a digital "Mirror Image" loop where their roles as Master and Servant are programmed to reset forever.
