Danny becomes Clockworks apprentice after learning that he would outlive everyone. A century later he finds himself in a world full of heroes. Accidentally Danny's core starts connecting with a prominent figure of societies children, marking them as his own.

The world is cruel, and Dareen Abu feels helpless. She's just going with the flow of what society tells her to do: go to college, get your degree, and work for the rest of your life like a robot. But her mind is always on her dreams: becoming a writer, finding love, and not having to worry about her finances. Writing is her safe haven. She utterly adores romance and fantasies about it all day, inserting herself in her character's shoes for some thrill in her rather boring life. Though her life is a lot greater than most people's, she notices her family's struggles. They came into the country with only a bag of items, after all; however, after fifteen years, they still haven't been able to break free from the minimum wage cage. Not to mention that getting a job nowadays is harder than ever, which she's personally seen her father struggle with. After six months, he finally lands a job, but it's another nursing home driving job that he isn't getting paid well for. What he is good at is cooking. He may not be primarily passionate about it in this given moment since he's been in survival mode for the past fifteen years, but perhaps a cushy private chef job where rich people let him experiment with all kinds of organic goods and in return eat Michelin-star-worthy food, for which he gets paid well, would be a win-win situation for everyone. But just how will Dareen help her father get a better job? And little does she know that perhaps she may benefit from her pursuit to help him. Dive into Dareen's journey by giving this story a good read to find out just what happens to her and her family... and her heart?

~ "Alana! Alana! Wake up, child, the village is on fire! We need to leave now!" Mamá shook me awake. We packed hurriedly and vacated the village. Pápa carried our baggage and Mamá cradled Oliver, my newborn brother. I gripped Mamá's hand tightly, feeling confused at the surrounding chaos. People were shouting and screaming, windows were broken as people tried to escape the severe fire that was spreading quickly. The crowd grew larger as we walked. After holding Mamá's hand so hard, I felt my hands sweaty. I loosen my hand from Mamá's and wiped it on my nightgown. I reached for Mamá's hand, but she wasn't there. I tried to look past the sea of people who kept pushing their way as though they were in a hurry. "Mamá! Pápa!" I shouted, my voice drowned in the sounds all around me. I kept shouting and screaming until my throat hurt. No one stopped. They only eyed me and walk past me as if I was invisible. My vision blurred as tears puddled my eyes. Fear engulfed me as I got shoved and pushed. I didn't know what to do, so I squatted on the ground and sobbed, waiting for the fire to get me. ~ _ Alana was separated from her family due to a village fire, she was found by an old lady who also taught her the way of stealing along with two other kids that she saved.
