Lai Mansen is an imp, or a genetically improved human, one of four owned by the genetic technician Felix Mansen. She has a standard appearance, a standard job, and a standard family...but something has always been a little off about her, a little different from the norm. While most imps are completely devoted to their work, she'd rather read old-fashioned books, write fairy tales, and play her keyboard than focus on her career. It's been ten years since she was created, and people are starting to worry about her. Then the Imps Liberation Group -- an anti-human organization hellbent on turning the order of imps and humans upside-down -- attacks a nearby settlement. Suddenly, Lai's quirkiness is the least of anyone's worries. As a volunteer army called the Uniters joins the fight to put the ILG back in their place, a bizarre mystery starts to unravel. It all comes down to one mysterious name: Pandora Amity, an alleged human/imp hybrid who disappeared long ago. The battle continues, and then Lai learns the truth about the ILG...and about herself. And now, no matter what she does, things will never be the same again...

Now back on Wattpad! ---- In a land covered in eternal night, a young girl's light is all that stands between Mankind and the Forces of Darkness. When the Sun Goddess vanished under mysterious circumstances a thousand years ago, she left the land of Kuro blanketed in eternal night. Over time, the people learn to harness what remains of the Goddess: the precious and finite resource known as the Goddess Essence. Kurokyuu Orbs, miracles of modern technology, harvest the Goddess Essence and provide light and power to all. But there is a problem: the Goddess Essence is running out. And it couldn't have come at a worse time. Whispers abound of a growing evil in the North; stories of shadows that can only be harmed by the light of the sun. From out of the darkness rises the City of the Sun. Light Spires shine through all twenty-four hours, providing artificial sunlight for all. Everyone that is, but the residents of the Utter Darkness. In this forsaken place, Mina, a young orphan, is forced to beg and steal on the streets to sustain herself in the hardscrabble way of life. In the darkest corners, Marauders lurk, hunting little girls, searching for the one known only as "The Maiden". When Mina falls captive to a roving band of Marauders, she is faced with a life-altering decision: reveal the secret she has been hiding her entire life or stay silent and risk losing her already meager existence? When people die as a result of her inaction, Mina realizes her secret is no longer hers to keep. A secret that lies in a most unusual ability: The power to manifest sunlight...
