A tale of hidden worlds, deception and murder.
Sujin Castillan just took the UPCAT to attend the prestigious University of the Philippines. However, he found himself passing another exam for another school, instead.
He found himself diving headfirst into a world hidden in plain sight, a world only a certain number of people is aware of.
Adding up to the confusion brought by the new world he's living in was his bizarre relationship with the most politically powerful student in the institute- the Crown-Prince, himself.
As Sujin delved into the lore and lies of the institute, he finds out he's not what he think he is, or what he thinks this new world is. It's more than just studying magic. It's way more serious than that.
Soon, he found himself being dragged into a war humanity doesn't even know anything about- a war that will decide the fate of all the living. The war he's being prepared for by the INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF THAUMATURGY.

Lavender is in love with Yuan, the perfect guy--kind, sweet, charming, and a musician like her. The problem? He's not real. He only exists in her dreams.
***
Lavender Laxamana can't sing or play the guitar in front of anyone anymore. She hides in her dreams where she can perform and play music to her heart's desire with Yuan. Lavender has already accepted that the man she loves is just a figment of her imagination, but when she crosses paths with Aki, a starting artist who goes by the name of Musikero and looks and sounds like Yuan, Lavender is hopeful they can finally be together in real life. But reality slaps her in the face when she finds out Aki is the exact opposite of Yuan, and he loathes her.
While Lavender struggles to find the connection between Yuan and Aki, can she finally find the courage to stop escaping from reality--no matter that Aki may be in love with another woman? And can she finally face the rhythm and beats of her heart and pursue her passion again? How far will she go--or not go--for her dreams?
