Odessa lives in a world where beauty determines status. Those who are beautiful are at the top of the totem pole, while those considered ugly are at the bottom. Beauty used to be a relative term, but new-age scientists have created a method of measuring beauty through the use of scoring different categories by multiple judges. Every year, those deemed most beautiful in their quadrant compete in a contest to name the most beautiful person in the world. A group of people live for this contest. At first, it seemed everybody was in the group. But, maybe, not everyone agrees with society's values. Maybe not everyone only sees skin deep.

Tangled Love
"You only live once." This is the overly used excuse that we use every time we make a decision and that's fine because it's true. This also goes with 'Love'. For once in our lives, we would eventually experience this love - the kind of love that just can't die. A love, though not being returned, we are still willing to take the risk. We expect that somehow, someday we will be rewarded. But how long can we give that love a chance? Are we really capable of giving so much without asking anything in return? Are we really capable of being happy, just seeing the person we love happy with someone else? How can we untangle something so twisted like LOVE? How can we survive without breaking? How can we live without hating? Brace yourself for it will be a long roller coaster ride to what we call 'HAPPINESS' - D A L E (myLovelymind) Cover by: @ShebaHanna 🎉Concluida

The Silken Crown
The setting was one in which social standing is based on physical beauty. It relates the tale of a lovely girl with wonderful hair but an "ugly" face who, by happenstance, meets a stunning face with sagging hair. A prophecy that linked to their tale led to strife in their destiny. Can they surmount the challenges they face in life? In addition to love, beauty and society are major themes in this tale.Concluida

Inside | HENDERY WAYV/NCT
Right person, but not enough time. Somewhat we grew up in a society that adores the fair, the skinny and the ones that fit a specific standard. They kinda forgot that beauty is more than just how you look, skin colour or how much you weigh. Beauty is also the smile, the heart, the thoughts and the person's core itself. Beauty is what's inside. Instagram: hua_deluna (visit her)Concluida

Lay me Down to Sleep
She had lived a life that wasn't her own. Every decision was made for her. At the end of the day though, she was still the one with the blood on her hands. To have the weight of abuse on your back is miserable. Especially when you're falling in love. She had been controlled by manipulation and religion her whole life. Her soulmate being a woman was unthinkable. With the constant humiliations of her life, she believed she was exactly what everyone wanted her to be. A power-hungry whore who wanted to steal someone else's mate. Life can be a cruel thing. A life that is not your own is even worse.

"Flatty"
Born in 2053, 15-year-old Latika lives in Arcis, the most prestigious city of all Amerax. It's an exciting time for the country previously named America since World War III just recently ended. Technology is booming and permits things that were unimaginable only a couple of years back. Medicine too is at its peak: illnesses have no secrets for the medical specialists and people rarely die before reaching the hundreds. The economy however, is very unstable and riches are unequally distributed... with Amerax getting the most of it. Despite the excessive use of nuclear weapons in the last war, the amount of people living on planet earth just recently exceeded 11 billion and space is scarce, even with buildings towering higher than ever. Due to the overbearing number of mouths to feed, food is now a rarity and therefore, being skinny is a sign of poverty, weakness and ailment while being overweight represents wealth, health and power. As for society, it has evolved in a way that some would qualify as ruthless and inhumane, automatically rejecting anyone that doesn't comply with its strict standards.Concluida
