Michael Walters wasn't a bad man.
He made pancakes with pink chocolate chips for his kids. He waved hello to anyone he met in the neighbourhood. He even helped the mean old lady across the street with her groceries.
So why did this happen to him?
I don't know - but Magic likes a good game. And the Walters are stuck right in the middle of a dangerous one...
~
When a broken man is forced to realise how much of a price can be payed for love - and how much regret can stay with him for it.

Gold Fever (M×M) ✔
"We caused the end of the world. Turns out it's easier than you might think it is. All you need is a group of eco anarchists and an ounce of magic, and the world goes down in a poof." After another manic episode, Phoenix gets written off his parents' will, and he's trying to find a reason to keep living. Causing the end of the world and being the only one who can save the world wasn't exactly what he had in mind. Phoenix wasn't meant to have magical abilities, and he most definitely shouldn't have been able to make all the money in the world disappear just by thinking about it. To make matters worse, it came with a minor side effect: a disease called Gold fever. In other words, people started to turn into gold. Over the course of a single day, Phoenix becomes the most hated person in the world. As the economy collapses around them, only three of his friends are willing to stay by his side. Their job is to keep Phoenix alive while he tries to make money reappear and find a cure to Gold fever. Which turns out to be more challenging than they thought, as they find out someone is tailing Phoenix with the intention to kill.Complete

Monarchs of Ruination
How far would you go to save your family? Would you take a life for them? A hundred? A thousand? How many before your conscience finally screams, "Enough"? They answered this question with [Ruination]-an unprecedented catastrophe that wiped out countless universes, all for the faintest chance to reclaim what was lost. No hesitation. No regret. Perhaps the Heavens sought to reward them for their love-or punish them for the slaughter of untold worlds. Either way, they were granted a second chance-to return to the past and reshape their fate. In a world where every lifeform's destiny is predetermined by the Heavens, NOX and Lucas uncover a chilling truth: the purpose of life is not merely to exist, but to pursue [Transcendence]. One is destined to achieve [Transcendence], while the other-whether willing or unwilling-must assist another in achieving it. Follow NOX and Lucas, as one is fated to transcend, while the other is doomed to be forgotten by history. Can they break free from their predetermined paths? Or will they scream, "I will defy the Heavens!" like a protagonist in a Dragon Country novel? Can the Heavens tolerate such blasphemy?
