    • HL CH292 [Extra] Cover
      by Aria — NSFW Chapter 292: Birthday Extra Dreams are false. Dreams are the opposite of reality. Huo Ranyin knew he was dreaming. He dreamt of his student days, back in high school. He was inside a classroom—an empty classroom devoid of people. It was dusk, and the light hovered between red and yellow, both bright and dim. Someone held him as he sat on his desk, his entire body trembling softly. That person blocked the light of the setting sun streaming through the window, dropping a wet kiss slick…
    • HL CH291 [Extra] Cover
      by Aria — Ji Xun discovered that Huo Ranyin had acquired a new favorite object recently. The new favorite was the freshly made homework-style notebook Ji Xun had given him on his birthday. Huo Ranyin first changed his WeChat profile picture to a photo of this book he received on his birthday. Then, almost every morning upon waking up, Huo Ranyin would retrieve the notebook from the nightstand drawer, place it in the spot with the best sunlight in the apartment, lay it flat, and let it bask in the…
    • SOP CH18: Seeming Like an Old Acquaintance Cover
      by Aria — Quicksand’s daily schedule was laid out in stark, clearly defined blocks. He would wake early in the morning to eat a meal of overcooked bacon and charred charcoal sausages. In the afternoon, he would tidy up the alcohol bottles and cigarette packs in the bar, wiping away the saliva left behind by drunks on the glass windows. When he had a moment of leisure, he would sweep the floor on the second floor. He entered the rooms of Hearts and Diamonds as if traversing an uninhabited realm, but Madame Spades'…
    • DBMEP CH43 Cover
      by Aria — Chapter 43: Eternal City (2) Pitch darkness enveloped the surroundings as loose gravel and stone plummeted continuously from the heights. The night submerged the populace like an overwhelming tide. Wails and screams erupted from every direction—some faint and distant, others right beside them—intermingled with the heavy thuds of falling debris. Hardly anyone could hear what others were shouting in the chaos. The slender mechanical arms plunged deeply into the rock face. Yet, compared to the…
    • DBMEP CH42 Cover
      by Aria — Chapter 42: Ezekiel, the Holy Spirit, and the Mutants Sirius panted heavily. Blood slid down his temple; it ought to taste salty. He could barely see the path in front of him, yet he could still instinctively feel the positions of his opponents. Only three people remained on the field. Aside from him, the other two were former boxing champions. "Hey, how about we take out this kid first?" Who was speaking? It didn't matter. The fierce wind from a heavy punch tore through the air. Sirius…
    • DBMEP CH41 Cover
      by Aria — Chapter 41: "How Many Times Have I Told You, Never Trust Any..." Xiang Nanli arrived rather late. When he swiped his card and stepped into the elevator, he surprisingly found himself to be the sole occupant. He carried a heavy briefcase containing his boss's exoskeleton. The second-floor spectator stand was somewhat crudely decorated. Though seats were provided, few spectators bothered to sit properly; most leaned over the guardrails, gazing down into the pit. It felt strikingly like a Roman…
    • WCBD CH105 Cover
      by Aria — The sudden appearance of the old man took both Siles and Chendo slightly by surprise. Chendo frowned, his eyes darkening slightly, but he still turned his gaze toward Siles, waiting to see how Siles would handle the situation. Looking at the old man with a touch of surprise, Siles asked, “Sir, do you feel that mechanical structures are unreliable?” Hands folded behind his back, the old man stood there gazing at the painting. After a moment, he nodded. “However, mechanical structures are…
    • WCBD CH104 Cover
      by Aria — A date, in theory, ought to begin with sweet words from the moment two people meet. Yet Siles and Chendo's Monday date began with a question from Siles: "Chendo, what is the last recorded record regarding Ligadia within the Praia family?" "The last record?" Chendo was taken aback for a moment and pondered briefly before replying, "That would likely be the final recorded account of a believer witnessing Him before Ligadia vanished." Siles asked, "And what was that?" Chendo recalled carefully,…
    • HL CH290 [Extra] Cover
      by Aria — When he returned home that day, Huo Ranyin used the excuse that there were flaws in the renovation to call in workers to fix up a few Schrödinger-esque details, taking the opportunity to remove the surveillance camera in the corner of the living room. From Huo Ranyin's quiet observation, Ji Xun didn't harbor any suspicion whatsoever. He didn't even care about the workers who had suddenly shown up in the apartment, much less have the patience to listen to the sounds of hammering and banging; he simply…
    • HL CH289 [Extra] Cover
      by Aria — Shortly after dinner, the guests gradually dispersed. After seeing them off, Ji Xun returned to the room to face Huo Ranyin, the curve at the corners of his lips unable to be suppressed any longer. "I think they all know." "Know what?" Huo Ranyin was lazily reclining on the sofa. Ji Xun bypassed him and snuggled into the other side of the sofa. "Know about our relationship." "What makes you say that?" "Super simple deduction," Ji Xun said. "We renovated the place. There are two rooms in…
