University is hard. It's supposed to be. Just like life. But what if either of those get so hard that dying seems easier? 8 Boys who hide their pain, scars and wounds in different ways. Some with laughter, loudness and chaos. Others with sarcasm, coldness and distance. Yet others try to dull the ache in their soul by helping others. 8 lost souls tied together by fate. Completely different and yet so similar. But there are things binding them: scars and music. Carved in RED is about pain, love, revenge, death, grief, heartbreak and found family. It's also about identity and standing for who your are. LGBTQIA+ is labeled disgusting and wrong in a lot of country's, especially Korea. So this is a lot about finding out who you are, who you want to be, fighting for the things that you love, standing up for who you are and being against the norms.

At Arden Academy, power isn't just about strength - it's about control. Each student wields an Echo, a rare energy born from emotion, capable of both creation and destruction. For most, mastering it means prestige. For Tanaka Aiko, it means survival. Quiet, kind, and fiercely resilient, Aiko only wanted to blend in. But the moment she crossed paths with Nishimura Riki, the academy's most gifted - and most unpredictable - student, her world began to shift. Between whispered rumors, cruel rivalries, and a growing connection neither of them can name, Aiko finds herself trapped in a dangerous web spun by envy, power, and desire. As tension rises within the academy walls, trust becomes fragile - and even kindness comes with a cost. Beside her stands Haerin, the silent girl whose gaze hides more than friendship. Watching over Aiko with a loyalty that burns too bright, she's willing to do anything to keep her safe - even if it means breaking herself in the process. When betrayal cuts deep and echoes collide, Aiko will have to choose: fight for the person she wants to become... or fall to the chaos others have created for her. Because at Arden Academy, love and ruin often wear the same face. - Ni-ki x OC. - Started: october, 13, 2025 status: Ongoing

Rated-X: Read Author's Note For More Information Two gay villains had only one idea that their four enemies belonged in a town agency (POG) and anytime find out their secret, toxic fandom even when they are humans. For emergencies, their co-head agent, Breanna created a reverse-sex mixture in case of identity emergencies. Without knowing that it was the reverse-sex vile, they both got genderbent. On the other hand, Sawyer teamed with Decan to find out about their relationship and why it exists. Both villains are gender bent and humanized. This is no laughing matter... As soon as the two of them are now a couple of hot women living their lives not meant to be lived, they told, then despised confronting the main judge or the main character in the story, most importantly not to get caught but POG but open up the evidence of their hidden X-rated relationship, leaving not only Sawyer and Decan in suspense... but the town and their agency to have a very toxic rumor. Therefore the co-owners of the town have to stop their relationship and continue story life even if gore and R-rates get in the way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
