Dear readers,
I want to sincerely apologize for the unexpected breaks in publishing my work. Please know these pauses are not intentional but are due to an important exam I have to take in July. I will only be free to fully focus on writing again after July 3rd.
Thank you so much for your patience and support—it truly means a lot to me.
See you very soon!

Inside the Imperial Palace
"What's that black smoke?" exclaimed Lucian, lounging casually on his bedroom desk.
Through the window, he could make out a strange dark mist slowly engulfing the horizon, completely obscuring his view. Then, suddenly…
— Aaaaaahhhhh!
— No! Help us!
— Save us!!
Terrified, blood-curdling screams echoed through the palace — so chilling they seemed to shake its very foundations.
"What the hell is going on?!"
