For five years, Aarav Verma loved his wife with all his heart. He remembered her favorite coffee, cared for her every need, and stood by her through every hardship. But to Amrita, a successful fashion company CEO, he was nothing more than a husband she never wanted. Her heart still belonged to her first love. On a freezing winter night, Aarav is thrown out of his own home... and murdered. After death, he is given one impossible chance. Five days. If Amrita says "I love you" within those five days, he will return to life. If she doesn't, he will disappear forever.

As the countdown reaches zero, love, regret, and betrayal collide in a race against time. Will three simple words save a life... or will they come too late?

Katya Romano did the impossible: she fought her way out of the neon-choked slums of Sector Seven and won a scholarship to Neo-Milano's elite Upper District university. Then, the school cuts her funding. To keep her spot and avoid being kicked back down to the slums, Katya is forced to enter a summer robotics competition. The catch? She has to partner with Takeshi Okamura, a wealthy, awkward boy who is her absolute polar opposite. She's all sharp edges; he's all polite smiles. But as they start building their project, Katya uncovers a dark corporate conspiracy connected to her missing mother. Even worse, a mysterious alien device has just locked itself onto her arm and started counting down. Now, Katya isn't just fighting to stay in school. With the city's elite closing in and her body changing by the second, she and Takeshi must find a way to work together before the clock hits zero.

Some flowers don't bloom forever. Six best friends thought they had all the time in the world. Between late-night conversations, shared dreams, and promises that felt unbreakable, the future seemed certain. Until life began stealing pieces of it. As misunderstandings grow, silence replaces honesty, and someone among them carries a secret too heavy to share, the girls slowly drift apart without realizing how precious their time together has become. Sometimes, the deepest wounds aren't the ones you can see. And sometimes, by the time the truth is spoken... ...you're already left with what's withered. A heartbreaking story about friendship, love, loss, and the courage to smile even when your heart is breaking.

The gods gathered. Once every great age, the Twelve met within the Hall of Concordance to renew the sacred covenant that kept creation in balance. Light and Threshold. Hearth and Road. Foundation and Change. Truth and Mercy. Memory and Rest. Measure and the Circle. Twelve divine principles. Six sacred bonds. One promise: no divine power would ever stand above its counterpart. It was meant to be a celebration. Then the first bell rang. What begins as ceremony becomes debate. Debate becomes conviction. Conviction becomes division. Each god sees a different future for creation. Each believes their vision is the one that can preserve what matters most. One by one, ancient bonds strain beneath impossible choices. Brothers disagree. Sisters divide. Rivals harden. Marriages fracture. Old love becomes old certainty. The Renewal Concordance is the divine chronicle of the gathering of the Twelve. Told one bell at a time, it is an epic of family, philosophy, loyalty, rivalry, and the terrible truth that the end of the world did not begin with hatred.
