In every story there are heroes and villains. They play the roles of both. Crescent Cafe is a nondescript cafe located at an alley, bringing in less than around 10 customers per day. Underneath the exterior of a failing business, the building masks the headquarters for 8 hired "couriers", doing jobs that range from menial ones such as catching a cheating spouse to skilled ones such as assassinating a gang leader. As long as it does not go against their principles and the pay's enough, the job is considered done. No one pays attention to them and only some know their secret identities. Han Byul is a recent university graduate crippling with student debt, fumbling around to find a part-time job that can at least sustain her until she finds a proper job. Frustrated after another failed job interview, she stumbled upon Crescent Cafe; she went in hoping for a cup of coffee and a peace of mind. What she got was a deadly secret that left the men with two choices: either kill her or take her in. But hey, at least the coffee's good. Action - comedy - romance... and many more in between. Hopefully. [Disclaimer: This story contains descriptions of sensitive themes, death, blood, violence and mild language. No explicit content.

Embrace your scars, do not look to erase them; for sometimes answers lie within them. Following the fall of Queen Emira as Lucida's ruler, Akira Hwang has lived a quiet life in Nyla surrounded by the new people she has met and learnt to trust. What she doesn't expect next is to find herself wearing the crown and sitting on the throne, taking the place that she once thought was too high for her to reach. Meanwhile in Nyla, the pressure to become king lies upon the white-blooded prince as they unveil the dark secrets behind the existence of the Shadow King. For both of them, wearing the crown comes with heavy responsibility; they find themselves chained to the destinies written in their blood again, divided by the hierarchy set by the blood flowing inside them. Time is running out to set things right; in order to fix what's broken, they need to open up their past scars and embrace the meaning that lie behind them.

This is a world where your worth is as much as the colour of your blood. Akira is the queen's most trusted soldier and general. Being the highest ranked amongst others, she is ruthless in doing her job. She only has one weakness: she cannot see colours. The world only represents itself as black and white to her and she has learnt to use it to her advantage. She slashes people with her sword without even batting an eye - the blood splattered across is merely a liquid that holds no meaning to her. In the kingdom of Lucida, the people are divided based on the colour of their blood. Royalty bear white blood, noblemen take crimson, commoners live with blue while the servants, considered the lowest in the ranks, are left with yellow blood. No one is allowed to marry outside their ranks and no one ever dares to break the norm throughout the centuries. When the queen orders her to find the identity of the mysterious Shadow King, she sets out on a quest to find the real king. Her list is narrowed down to 7 men, all from different backgrounds. Blood has to be shed in order to confirm the king's identity but she has one problem: she cannot determine the truth with her own eyes.
