In a world divided by fire and philosophy, two civilisations have mastered the art of cooking - but never spoken the same language. In the East, Food Adepts cultivate inner energy through knife, flame, and breath. A perfectly sliced cut can heal a wound. A broth simmered for three days can break a man's curse. In the West, Culinamancers weave culinary magic through ritual, emotion, and forbidden ingredients. One wrong pinch of spice can collapse an empire. They have coexisted in silence. Until a young chef from the Eastern borderlands stumbles into a Western culinary tournament - and wins using techniques nobody in the West has ever seen. Now both worlds want him. Some to learn from him. Some to destroy him. Every dish is a battle. Every flame tells a story. Every bite changes the world. - Ocean Fung

The Di Lorenzo mafia embarks on a final mission to take down their enemy Garcia once and for all to free the kidnapped children of five years ago, who are now ruthlessly trained assassins.

Thirty years after espers first appeared, society has reshaped itself around supernatural power. Hydrangea Academy, run by the Esper Association and backed by the government, exists to cultivate the next generation of elite Espers. With state-of-the-art facilities, generous freedom, and limitless resources, it is widely regarded as the ideal school for those chosen to enroll. Within the Academy, students are divided into six classes, ranked from A to F. Class A receives every privilege, while Class F sits at the bottom, overlooked and quietly written off. Yet the hierarchy is not absolute. Through special exams, combat exercises, and large-scale practical trials, lower classes are allowed to challenge higher ones and take their place... by any means the school permits. Lucien Ambrose, a laid-back and unassuming D-rank esper with a strange ability that changes daily, is assigned to Class F. There, he finds himself surrounded not by prodigies, but by the Academy's so-called failures: students whose powers are too weak, too strange, or too absurd to be taken seriously. Among them are Annette, a bookish, sharp-eyed girl whose ability allows her to instantly calculate anything she sees, and Clara, the cheerful class idol who can play instruments without instruments. Nobody expects anything from the misfits of Class F, but the path to the top is open to anyone willing to take it. In a school where every advantage matters and rules can be bent as long as they aren't broken, can the lowest class claw their way upward? Or will they be crushed before they even start?

A beautiful young Elf lies and cheats her way into the heart of the Elven crown prince of Ashlenair, tricking him into marrying her and giving her his reverential family heirloom, the Moon Ring. Her pride, however, forces her to boast, and the ring is eventually stolen. She manipulates her husband into sending a war party after it, in a bid to retrieve her precious prize. The war party fails: the Moon Ring is lost, but a cross species war that threatens to destroy the planet and everyone on it is the result. Laoch, a young Elf from a Guards village just within the boundaries of Ashlenair, has grown up hearing of the fabled Moon Ring and how the wicked Dwarves stole it and started a war over six thousand ago. Laoch knew the story as well as anyone, he just didn't care. Ever since his best friend was killed by a group of Dwarven Scouts, his unwavering faith in the war had finally faltered. He just wanted the war to be over. His friend, a scandalously independent female, tells him a story of a Woodland Faery, who was supposedly the last person known to have seen the Moon Ring. The story plants the seed for a marvellous plan to trek across Tirnanog, to the forest the Woodland Faeries had made their home, and track down the Moon Ring. There is one very big problem though, in these days of fear and suspicion, nothing comes for free - everything has a price. And what makes Laoch’s situation even worse? Everywhere you went you had to be careful of an attack, as, what had started as a fight between Elves and Dwarves had escalated, until everyone but the most peaceful of races had joined. Now the whole world was in danger but Laoch was determined to save it. Hard? All he had to do was find a mythical ring that was said to have disappeared without a trace over six millennia ago…
