"Existence is no longer a free right. It is a privilege, a reward... a crime."
After witnessing her father fail to claim his rights to exist and knowing the truth behind her mother's disappearance, Arian Benedictus Zhu became a rebellious child whose sole purpose is to destroy the Superior Courts of Mankind's Life and Existence. She is trapped in a world where gods and goddesses have dominated the world of humans; a world where a person can only exist for two decades for free. After which, every mortal must go under a trial every decade in front of the deities to narrate how "proper" they have been living and defend their will to exist. There are six lower deities: Goddess of Time, God of Emotion, Goddess of Kindness and Love, God of Honesty, God of Mercy and Forgiveness, and Goddess of Universal Affinity. Seated inside the Higher Court of Existence is no other than the most powerful and divine Goddess of Existence, whose final verdict determines a mortal's fate.
There are only two verdicts: worthy or not worthy. Failure to obtain a worthy verdict from the Higher Court of Existence immediately ceases a mortal's existence and he is wiped out from mankind.
However, there is another option that Arian Zhu is tempted to take. She wanted to rebel against the Goddess of Existence, to wreak havoc at all costs against her power. She would rather kill herself than allow the deity the satisfaction of convicting her not worthy of existence. There is one choice that she could accept that would save her from the verdict.
It is the highest form of all crime and a death sentence just by even considering it.
Arian had to become a Thief of Existence.

In Her Defense
She was the city's most feared criminal-tattoos inked, a criminal record holy than the Bible, and eyes that dared you to come closer. I was the country's rising criminal lawyer-sharp, calculated, always ten steps ahead. So why the hell did the judge assign me to defend her? Maybe it was fate. Or maybe it was a cruel joke.

"Keep looking at me like that, and I'll make you forget which one of us is on trial." Lines blur, tension snaps, and what started as a high-profile case quickly becomes a game of power, secrets, and forbidden desire.

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn)
Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]Complete

The Divine Devil
Every crown is a curse, and every heir is a sacrifice, When peace lies in bloody nights what will happen when the her ice cold heart melts in this warm embrace? She was not the woman she appeared to be. Behind those sharp eyes and cold composure was a soul shattered by betrayal and heartbreak. Once, she had known laughter, softness, and trust-but those days were long buried beneath layers of pain and rage. The scars of her past had carved away the girl she used to be, leaving behind a woman with a heart frozen in ice. Trust was a luxury she could no longer afford, and love? Love had become a cruel illusion she no longer believed in. All that remained was a single, burning desire-revenge. It was her fuel, her purpose, and the reason she rose each day with fire in her veins and steel in her gaze. She had become a devil in the eyes of many, but they didn't know the story behind the flames. And then, he came. A man unlike any she had ever known-warm where she was cold, gentle where she was fierce. He saw the thorns and bled willingly just to hold the rose. He didn't flinch at her anger or retreat from her silence. Instead, he embraced her darkness like it was a part of him. To him, she wasn't broken-she was beautiful in ways the world failed to understand. He loved her not despite her demons, but because of them. For the first time in years, she felt the warmth of something unfamiliar-hope. He would give up everything for her: his name, his pride, even his morals. Not because he was weak, but because his love for her was that strong. He didn't want to fix her-he only wanted to hold her, to show her that she didn't have to fight alone.
