In a city rotting from the inside out, where power is bought with blood and secrets are currency, two ghosts cross paths-one sent to hunt, the other refusing to be caught. Joong, known as Hades to most, is a whisper in the dark, a legend built on fear. No one escapes him. No one survives him. Until Dunk-a hacker known as Cipher, who is too smart, too reckless, and now too close to the truth. They should have been a tragedy. They should have burned each other down, should have ended in blood, in death, in ruin. But instead-they fit. Because there is no world in which Joong lets go. And there is no world in which Dunk ever truly leaves.

Joong Archen Aydin, a 23-year-old final-year student, is the heir to the powerful and influential Aydin family. Handsome, spoiled, and used to getting what he wants, Joong lives a carefree life, sliding through his mistakes with the help of his family's wealth and connections. His world of luxury and entitlement is shaken when he encounters Dunk Natachai Boonprasert, a 26-year-old young professor at the university, who is dedicated, intelligent, committed to his job and the elder son of the wealthy Boonprasert family, but he rejects using his name for personal gain. While Joong is used to controlling everyone around him, he becomes intrigued by Dunk's unwavering professionalism and calm demeanor. What starts as a challenge to seduce Dunk for one night turns into a battle of wills as Joong's desire deepens, and Dunk finds himself struggling with the growing attraction he's determined to suppress. In a world where power, wealth, and pride are everything, both must confront their own desires and their families' expectations. 📍CREDIT FOR ALL PHOTOS BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS 📌 Since English isn't my first language, I use AI to help me express my ideas better.

Werewolf stories are just that... stories, right? Clans don't exist, do they? Shapeshifters neither... or do they? Dunk's grandfather was certain, they weren't just stories, they were his story. The poor old man was losing his mind, maybe... but Dunk needed to be close to that story. And that's what led him to Valdebruma.
