They say some doors only open once. Luna lied to her father about a research trip to the Philippines. She didn't mention the impossible theory her vanished mother left behind. The pot swallowed her whole. Now she's crawling out of it into pre-colonial Madja-as during a pirate raid, where bodies fall like rain and survival isn't a skill you learn in international schools. The pot won't reopen. Her geometric tattoos burn with power she can't control. And somewhere in this brutal, beautiful world, there's a Keeper she's supposed to find. Except the Keeper is dead. Luna has spent her whole life trusting no one, needing no one, surviving alone. But here, blood soaks into communal earth. Here, warriors die with their crew's names on their lips. Here, villages share their last handful of rice. Isolation isn't strength when survival is measured in how many hands pull you back from the edge. It's extinction. The cosmic layers are fracturing. An ancient god is clawing his way back to power. And the prophecy that dragged her through time demands something she's never learned how to give: trust. She crossed time to find her mother. She found a war, a prophecy, and the reason some people never make it home. 🔗https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Q39SmQjhz2NSrzYz8NUya

But I wish someone had warned me that this would turn into the craziest ride of my life. Hollow The days pass the same way they always have. Empty heart. Heavy spirit. Protecting the weak.

The kind of soul that makes you wonder what broke her and why you suddenly want to know every piece of her.

Welcome to Gashigura-a kingdom of strict tiers, quiet pagodas, and one gigantic secret: the Gold-bloods. They look human, work ordinary jobs, and complain about customers. But they bleed gold, wield impossible powers, and are the only reason Gashigura hasn't been overrun by the warlords and bandits tearing the outside world apart. Miyuki, a sharp-tongued 15-year-old refugee, learns this the hard way. Between a prejudiced landlady, market thieves, and a school that's constantly being wrecked by giant centipedes, fitting in is the least of her problems. Especially when her own strange ability-one she can't control-begins to surface. Then there's her new "friends": · Prince Kenji, the heir who's secretly the anti-emperor pamphleteer Pojo Mio-and wears a grotesque mask of his own father's face in protest. · Ren, a detached foreigner who's annoyingly lucky, eerily observant, and always where the chaos is. · Wei, an Aspirant hiding her own fears about a friend who's changing in dangerous ways. · Yan, the so-called "Coach"-a smiling manipulator who's decided every Gold-blood his age should be under his thumb. In Gashigura, the supernatural is mundane, school is a survival course, and rebellion wears the emperor's face. And Miyuki's about to learn that in a city where everyone's hiding something, the most dangerous secret might be her own. Gold-Blooded. Ordinary. And nothing in between.
