Immortal touch is met with death
In a world that wished for immortality, those who succumbed to greed can no longer touch life's pleasures. Food becomes a burden as it decays under their fingertips. To combat this, an elite culinary institute is created, requesting mandatory attendance to those who do not have King Midas's Touch.
Francesca Bevilacqua fled the city years ago to live a simple and free life in the country. But when she receives a letter "requesting" her return, she fears that her life will be one of servitude to the immortal gods. Unfortunately for her, a powerful immortal at La Nourriture takes notice of her and plans to keep her forever.

Zeus de Academy
There are five kingdoms on the planet called "Earth." At a young age, the people living there would manifest and have their own elemental power. It is either fire, water, earth, ice, wind, or lightning. Earth is not a quiet planet to begin with. There are hundreds, or even more than a thousand, of people dying every day due to the fact that there are wars everywhere. The five kingdoms have been fighting and killing each other for centuries, and no one knows the exact reason; it still remains a mystery. Despite the wars happening, there is a prodigious academy in the middle of the planet. None of the kingdoms own this place. No matter which kingdom you are from, you can enter this academy as long as you are strong and powerful enough to pass its entrance exam. An exam that sheds blood. This magnificent academy was made to train intelligent and skilled students. This is not just an ordinary school. This is definitely not a fun place. Because this is "Zeus de Academy". - Kyla, a teenage girl, is one of those people who wants to enter this academy. She came from a small village that was destroyed by a single assassin sent by another kingdom. She believed that entering this academy would help her develop into a formidable fighter in the future, one who could help others and, most importantly, take down the assassin who had destroyed her home and killed her loved ones. Would she be able to pass its entrance exam and study at this prodigious academy? And if so, what might the future hold for her? Especially after finding an old book that can change her entire life and meeting new faces she can be with to strive.
