​The main timeline of the story takes place thirty years after the glorious defeat of the Dictator of the Castelan Empire in 1870. Despite the relative peace in allied nations—Lafiaza and the United Republic of Australasia—and global efforts toward reparation, racism and propaganda are still rampant. ​ Thirty years after the glorious defeat of the Empire of Castela, the world is still in its recovering state, yet propaganda against one another is inevitable, and the oppression upon certain races is extreme. ​One of the main protagonists of the story, Manabu Satoshi, raised in Feropia, unintentionally gets caught up in a strange serial killer case—"Mr. Santa"—after the death of his close friend. He later finds himself in an unfortunate situation where the world begins to unfold itself before him and his friends, leading to one inescapable realization: War is inevitable.

They erased his identity. They buried his past. But they forgot one thing—ghosts don’t stay dead forever. Ethan Cross was once the Agency’s invisible hand, a deep-cover spy whose existence was known to only three people. Until one mission in Prague went wrong. His team was slaughtered, his cover was blown, and the traitor inside the Agency pinned everything on him. Now, years later, the world knows him as Damian Voss—a low-profile security consultant in Berlin. But when a familiar symbol appears at a crime scene—a symbol only his dead teammates used—Ethan realizes the traitor is still out there. And this time, he’s pulling strings on a global scale. To uncover the truth, Ethan must reenter the shadow world he left behind: secret intelligence networks, mercenary corps, and phantom organizations like Specter Division—the same group that destroyed his life. But revenge comes with a price. The deeper he digs, the more Ethan realizes he’s not just hunting the traitor… He’s becoming the weapon they created. “In the world of spies, silence isn’t peace—it’s the sound before the kill.”

In fictions of love and hate, love often wins, but why is there always a competition between the two in these fictions? A competition in which one tries its best to overpower the other, but in this process they forget each other's true value, right? And there are many people in this world whom we consider evil because of their bad personality and there are people who are really evil, but have we ever tried to look into their past to see if their personality in the present was shaped by their past? It raises thought-provoking questions: How do we define good and evil? Can one be born wicked, or are their past experience and circumstances the true shapers? Actually we should not interfere in someone's past life. But what if we get a chance to see someone's past to understand their personality? The short tale of "Aspiration" artfully highlights these concepts, where while exploring the story of a famous Detective, his wife, and a mysterious case, you will find yourself diving deeper to understand the past effects behind human personality.

In a lifeless, desolate region where the sun never fully rises, a solitary figure tends a humble farm. To the world, he is a simple man clad in black cloth, a farmer whose presence is imperceptible, whose aura cannot be sensed, and whose power remains unknowable. Yet legends whisper of crops that exist only in myth, capable of granting unimaginable cultivation potential, yet unreachable by mortal hands. He is Khaldrin, the Lord of the Evening, an entity whose spirit, soul, and body are perfectly synchronized, immune to all laws, gods, and mortals alike. His scythe wields reality itself, his black flames burn sin eternally, and his very existence bends life, death, and time to his will. No mastery, no law, no force can challenge him. For millions of years, he has lived in solitude, unnoticed by the world. But when a lost Sword Saint wanders into this cursed land, curiosity draws him to the farmer. He offers homage, food, and wine, yet all his senses fail to comprehend the man before him. The crops, the silence, the eternal black flames, and the aura of absolute authority remain a mystery. In a world where chaos, law, and cultivation define power, Khaldrin is beyond all understanding—a being who walks unnoticed, yet holds dominion over existence itself. The legend of the Lord of the Evening is whispered, feared, and revered…even as he quietly tills the soil, unseen, unstoppable, eternal. --- If you want, I can also write a shorter, punchy version for Webnovel or novel listing, to attract readers instantly.

She never saw his face that night. Just the shape of a man — standing at the far end of the hospital hallway — unmoving, watching. Raina was twenty-four, still naive enough to believe that silence always meant harmlessness. She looked away, convinced he was waiting for someone else. But he stayed there. Not shifting. Not breathing loudly. Just observing her like she was an unfamiliar puzzle he already knew how to solve. When she finally took a step forward to pass him, he turned his head slightly… enough for her to feel his eyes slide over her like a blade. No words. No touch. Just… recognition. As if he already knew her story. As if he already owned her future. And in that exact moment — an instinct inside her whispered: Run. But she didn't. She walked past him. She lived her life. She married. She divorced. And she convinced herself that night was nothing but imagination. She never knew it wasn't. Because while she forgot that moment— he never did.

It was just another normal day for Lim Soohyun. He went to work, grabbed lunch from his favorite local restaurant, and clocked out exactly on time. Roaming the streets of Gangnam after work was his favorite pastime — there was always something amusing or strange to see among the lively night crowds. But tonight, what caught his eye was a random man standing beside an even more random-looking Gashapon machine. Obviously, he had to try it. The price was ridiculous and the man said he can only spin once, there was even a chance he might not get anything. Swallowing hard, Lim Soohyun turned the dial. When a capsule finally dropped into the slot, he exhaled in relief. The suspicious-looking man handed him the capsule. Inside was a cheap piece of pink gum and a note with instructions. That was it. The note promised “promotion” and “points” if he followed the tasks listed, points he could later use to buy more capsules. Lim Soohyun did what any sane person would do after reading it. He sold everything he owned, quit his job, abandoned his apartment, and bought the most haunted house on the market — just as the note instructed. With a soul that only craved entertainment, what could possibly go wrong? [Disclaimer: Not for the faint-hearted. Proceed with caution.]
