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.

We are all connected, even though our paths have never crossed before. "Let's play a game, shall we? I will count to 20 and you can run away from me, but if I ever catch up to you, I will kill you. Sounds simple, right?" 6 men arrive at a villa, greeted by the owners who are a peculiar pair; one is a man with a smile that does not leave his face and another is a man who seems to only speak through his eyes. The trip takes a sinister turn when they are pulled into a game of horror, causing them to desperately try and escape with their lives. They are only given one chance to run away, but if they ever get caught... The answer as to why they are being targeted may go beyond what they can fathom; a connection they can't even begin to imagine. "I'm giving you a chance, so now... run."

Waking up has never been so interesting. You've escaped the gallows, run through a battlefield and stowed away on a pirate ship named the Treasure, all in the span of a single day. Even better, you've lost all your memories and have no idea who you are. Then you meet the Kim Hongjoong, captain of the Treasure, the ruthless Pirate King of the Caribbean. Life as an amnesiac on board a pirate ship doesn't seem very promising, but hey, anything's better than becoming shark food. cover by @crimsonteez italian translation by @lostinwonderland__00
