    Dante's job is to subdue contractors and recover illegal relics. He is the only contractor capable of bonding with five relics. As the youngest member of the famed legends, Dante was believed to have a perfect life. However, everything changed in an instant, shattering his ideal existence. For the first time, he found himself powerless. Once hailed as both a hero and a prodigy, Dante had been reduced to nothing more than a ruthless hunter. Although his team's efficiency and recovery rate are outstanding, their brutal methods often overshadow their achievements. Dante is no longer seen as the prodigy of the legends. His comrades view him as a loyal guard dog, while his enemies see him as a ruthless bloodhound. The Apex Institute is where teenagers train to become future leaders. Thalia and her friends are graduating this year. Thalia possesses a unique bloodline trait that allows her to command the weather; she can invoke storms simply by concentrating. She wants nothing more than to use her powers to help the relic retrieval task force. Apex has created special task forces, such as the Legends, to prevent relics from being used to cause harm. Thalia has always admired the Legends, and their dedication to justice is the primary reason she enrolled in the institute. The Legends are known as the champions of justice because they maintain order within the safety zone. Thalia desperately wants to change this twisted world and dreams of being a hero like her aunt (Tia) to save their crumbling world. ------------------------------------------------------------------ What to expect?

    The world was never silent. But suddenly, sound became humanity's deadliest enemy. From a hidden corner of the sky, a mysterious low-frequency hum begins to echo across the globe. For most, hearing it is the end of their humanity. It doesn't turn them into mindless zombies; it transforms them into "Echoes"-ruthless, intelligent, and hyper-sensitive hunters driven by a primal, violent instinct. Zoya, a dedicated investigative journalist, finds herself at the center of a deadly conspiracy when she discovers that a secret audio recording in her possession might be the only key to stopping the plague. But the truth comes with a price, and now she's being hunted by the very people she once trusted. Enter Aryan, an elite commando who receives a "shoot-to-kill" order for Zoya. But when he sees the truth behind the shadows, he chooses to disobey, risking everything to protect her. Together, they must navigate a world filled with silent predators and military deception. In a journey where even a whisper can lead to death, can they learn to trust each other? Or will the slow-burn tension between them be extinguished by a silence that kills? In a world where every sound is a death sentence, the only way to survive is to never make a noise.

    The Earth was forever changed by a plague that ravaged the global population. As the death toll climbed, world leaders were forced into unprecedented cooperation, funding a massive scientific initiative to engineer a cure. Laboratories collaborated with elite technology professionals, merging biology and machine to establish a high-tech 'new normal.' However, as this post-apocalyptic society emerged, so did a violent revolution. Many traditionalists, enraged by the forced modernization of the world, rose up to challenge the government. In the shadows, extremist cults and assassin groups began to fester. The turning point came when a devastating bombing struck the heart of the capital. Recognizing the existential threat, the government investigated the tragedy and traced it back to a radical cult. In response, they formed a unit of five shadow assassins-the 'Shadow Five: Project X'-tasked with eliminating the cult members. Some were recruited for their skills, others were coerced, and some were forced into service simply to survive. There was only one way to leave the team: death. Peace was maintained as long as this group protected the world from the silence of the shadows. But during a final mission to eliminate the last remaining cult clan, the entire team vanished without a trace. Now, the government has been forced to select and move a new generation into training. A group of teenagers now finds themselves bound together in this lethal legacy. For them, every mission is a matter of life and death.

    In a world where vision has become a luxury, humanity's survival depends on a single, precious resource: the eye drop. One small vial can keep the virus at bay, preventing the infected from becoming Dead Eyes-savage, blind creatures who hunt by sound and scent. For five long years, the air has been both life and death. Freedom of sight is gone, replaced by fear, scarcity, and a society where morality and trust are as fragile as the liquid that sustains them. Sue, the head medic of a tightly controlled community, navigates this fragile world with precision. In the labor ward, every mother, every child, every hand is shielded behind protective goggles and gloves, each movement measured, each second precious. When a newborn emerges, Sue carefully quarantines the child, unwrapping their eyes only after ensuring their safety showing both the miracle and the terror of sight in this new age. Life in the community is divided into departments: Food, Security, Medical, and Scavengers the brave souls who venture into the outside world in search of drops. Every member must learn combat, every citizen must learn the rules of survival, and everyone knows the danger of the Dead Eyes. As Sue walks through the lab to check on the progress of drop development, she reflects on the cruel reality: in a world ruled by scarcity, even love can become a weapon, trust a liability, and every drop could mean the difference between life... and death. Drop is a harrowing tale of survival, betrayal, and the price of vision in a world that demands blindness.

While Ragia battles Vipers and Centaurs in his terrifyingly beautiful Queen Form, the team's resident genius, Prof, uncovers a data trail that shouldn't exist. The genetic anomalies of the Krall, the secrets of the Inquors, and the corrupted history of the war all point to one impossible destination: The Reagalus High Council on Mars. Prepare for a high-stakes, Romantic Comedy Space Opera! Welcome back to the chaos. Welcome to the Revised edition. Note: Reading the first book isn't necessary to follow the plots.
