In a realm beyond time and space, where the fabric of reality is interwoven with countless dimensions, exists the Author God known as Will. For millions of years, Will and his family have watched over the multiverse, carefully observing the stories of beings from various anime worlds and a seemingly ordinary young man from the real world, known as (Y/n) (L/n). The characters, once transported to a mystical theater to witness the life and adventures of (Y/n), have long since faded away, leaving Will to ponder the next step. After eons of solitude, Will devises a plan to revive the magic of his theater. He decides to bring forth the living versions of the characters who had once populated his cinematic audience, those who had changed their fates and grown in unimaginable ways. Why?Simple!Trying something for the fourth time is like tending a stubborn garden. The first three seeds might have withered, pecked at by birds, or choked by weeds. But each attempt teaches you something new - which seeds are strongest, which soil is best, how to build better protection. By the fourth planting, you're not just throwing seeds in the ground; you're cultivating hope with the wisdom of experience, and the bloom will be all the more vibrant for the perseverance it took to reach it.

For most adventurers, Orario is the perfect stage to achieve fame, riches, or even an epic romance. But for Zev, a young Beastman recently arrived from the isolated mountains, the Labyrinth City means only one thing: the greatest hunting ground in the world. Recruited by the prestigious Loki Familia, Zev is seen by many as just an eccentric Level 1 rookie-a skittish archer with ram horns, unpredictable instincts, and an absolute aversion to strategy manuals. However, what the guild veterans do not know-and what the Goddess of Trickery hides under lock and key-is that this seemingly harmless "little sheep" carries a deadly secret. Fueled by Predator's Aspiration, a unique skill that accelerates his growth at a terrifying pace whenever he faces imminent death, Zev is destined to turn the Dungeon's ecosystem upside down. In a world of elite warriors, proud mages, and cunning gods, Zev isn't interested in being a fairy-tale hero. With his golden bow in hand and his scent guided by the Dungeon's winds, he has a single objective: to find and take down the strongest prey the abyss has to offer. The hunt has begun. And even the monsters must learn to look up.

As Elena begins writing down their story, she is forced to confront the memories she never truly let go of and the uncomfortable truth that missing who someone used to be doesn't mean you want them back.

Nineteen-year-old Wataru Kurebayashi never believed a single act of kindness could ruin a life. After saving a stranger from a violent encounter, he awakens carrying something that was never meant to be his: Nagori, a fragment of another person's identity. The world he stumbles into has always existed in silence. Hidden among ordinary people are Utsuwa-individuals who survive by Harvesting Nagori from others. Every Harvest strengthens them while blurring the line between who they were and who they've become. To refuse is to slowly lose themselves. To accept is to slowly become someone else. Wataru wants neither. As he searches for a way to remain himself without stealing pieces of others, he finds a world divided not by heroes and villains, but by people who have all found different answers to the same impossible question: What is a person, if every part of them came from someone else? His journey draws him into conspiracies that span decades, secret organizations that shape society from the shadows, and philosophies that challenge the very existence of identity itself. Friends become mirrors. Enemies become uncomfortable truths. Every choice leaves a trace, and every trace demands to be carried by someone. In a world where memory can be taken, compassion can kill, and even the self is borrowed, Wataru must decide whether identity is something worth protecting-or whether it was only ever an illusion. NAGORI is a psychological urban fantasy exploring identity, altruism, memory, and the cost of remaining human when humanity itself can be stolen.

Some stories begin with a confession. This one begins with two lives, thousands of miles apart. At twenty-five, Y/n has become an expert at hiding her emotions and pretending she is okay. Between corporate world, quiet evenings, and memories she never thought would carry, she's learned that grief doesn't show up loudly and that it is better to accept the things in life that can't be changed. On the other side of the world, Jungkook, twenty-eight, a member of one of the biggest K-pop groups in the world, spends his days under the blinding lights on stage, and his nights searching for pieces of ordinary life he never lived. To millions, he is an idol. To himself, he is just a man trying to remember who he is when the applause in a concert stadium fades. Their worlds have nothing in common. They speak different languages. They live in different countries. They live different lives. Yet, somewhere in the middle of all the chaos, untold words, and most importantly the invisible thread of fate, two strangers begin walking towards a path neither of them imagined. A Thousand Miles To You is a heartfelt, slice-of-life story about grief, healing, friendship, love, family, and the quiet moments that change a person forever.
