Ling & Orm: Canonical Story In the world of rising stars and relentless spotlight, Ling a reserved yet razor-sharp from Hong Kong with Thai roots and Orm a fiery Thai heiress with a heart too big for her perfectly curated world, meet at the crossroads of ambition and fate. Their journey begins in the training room of Thailand's competitive entertainment industry, where dreams often collide rather than align. Still, they remain tethered through texts unsent, eyes that linger too long on old photos, and hearts that ache for what almost was. Now, years later, rumors swirl: The company will create GL series. Ling is casting. And Orm? She never stopped waiting their path to cross again. When they're cast together in The Secret of Us, chemistry bleeds into reality. Ling's gentle strength grounds Orm's impulsive fire, while Orm's bold love reminds Ling how it feels to be seen, not just as a performer, but as a person. What begins as scripted intimacy blurs into something neither of them can deny. Because maybe, just maybe...the secret of them... was never fiction at all, if the stars align.

Roland arrived in the world of Cyberpunk in 2066 - and awakened the PROJECT System. From that moment on, another giant began to quietly rise within the neon sprawl of Night City. Years later, Roland sat by the window, a small mechanical spider with a mantis-shaped head resting in his palm, a pet lizard curled in his arms. The world outside was still dazzling, the city still alive - yet somewhere along the way, something had quietly shifted. During an interview, when someone brought up the Arasaka Corporation, they casually asked: "Arasaka Tower? There's no such building in Night City - at least, not below..." The man slowly lifted his head, his eyes reflecting the city skyline - and behind him, a massive inverted triangle blazed with the blinding white PROJECT logo. (CYBERPUNK x LEAGUE OF LEGENDS)
