BEYOND THE FLESH

TX_
The world has crumbled, leaving only the ruins of civilization consumed by "Life's Flesh"—a bizarre, heart-shaped fruit, a strange new life-form that reshaped everything and unleashed the "Vineborn" to roam the land. In the fringe city of Riverbend, Leon is a survivor, wrestling with despair and a desperate search for meaning. His only known rule: survive. Day by day. But when a dark secret, long buried beneath the city, begins to stir, and the mystery surrounding the true threat's origin starts to unravel, Leon must confront everything he thought he knew: the dormant power awakening within him, the unexpected bonds he forms with those around him, and what it truly means to be human in a world where "flesh" is no longer the final limit, nor the ultimate definition. What will his journey unearth, hidden within the wreckage and the depths of his own soul? And what truly awaits on the other side of fear... in the realm known as "BEYOND THE FLESH"?

THE CROWN OF WATERS

Noel Vallis, a young boy born into the noble Vallis family, has always lived in the shadow of expectations. As the heir to a powerful estate, his life seems destined to follow a strict path, but Noel has always felt out of place. Raised in a world of discipline and secrets, he yearns for something more—something that doesn’t conform to the rigid rules of his family. When Noel discovers his mysterious connection to the ancient koi pond on his family’s estate, he unwittingly awakens a dormant power tied to his bloodline. Magic surges within him, but it’s a power that cannot be controlled. A dark crystal refuses to react, and Noel is left questioning his place in the Vallis legacy. His only confidant, Ethen—his childhood friend and the son of his nanny—reveals that Noel is not just any heir, but the true heir to an ancient, magical legacy tied to the very land itself. The Vallis family’s secrets have been hidden for centuries, lost during the Empire Unification War. No heir has appeared in over 300 years, and Duke Vallis, Noel’s father, remains unaware of the true history that binds their family to an ancient seal—the Throne of Waters. This seal lies within the koi pond, a place that has always comforted Noel, but now holds a deeper meaning. It is a key to immense, untapped power, and only Noel, as the true heir, can unlock it. With the help of Ethen, Noel begins a journey of self-discovery and magical awakening. But the power within him comes with a price. As he grows stronger, he must confront his fears, his painful past, and the dark secrets of the Vallis family. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and Noel must learn to master the magic that flows through his veins, all while protecting his family’s legacy from those who seek to control it for their own gain.
