They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.

In a world where power shields the wicked and justice seems untouchable, a mysterious string of global murders rattles the elite. Interpol is baffled—no fingerprints, no DNA, no trace of the killer—except for one strange clue left at every crime scene: a glowing firefly. Eyewitnesses whisper of shadowy beings—demons, creatures from folklore, or urban legends—emerging from the darkness to deliver swift judgment. But their victims aren’t innocent. They’re the untouchable: powerful criminals, fraudsters, and corrupt titans hiding behind wealth and influence. As myth bleeds into science and fantasy crosses paths with harsh reality, the firefly becomes more than just a witness—it becomes a symbol, a code, and perhaps... a weapon of something ancient. Interpol races against time, not just to solve the mystery, but to uncover a truth that challenges everything the modern world believes: What if justice doesn’t wear a badge—what if it wears wings and glows?

Born into a family of geniuses, he was cast aside as a failure and sent to the prestigious National Institute for Future Leaders (NIFL), a school designed to mold the next generation of elites.

[Attention : This novel is undergoing major revision for better pacing, consistency, and reader experience.] [Rewriting Progress Chapter 1-64✅] Ren Amakawa is an ordinary, painfully shy eighteen-year-old who has never known warmth beyond his books and lonely nights. But his life changes the night he discovers an ancient mirror hidden in his bed — a mirror that doesn’t reflect his dusty room, but a lush, dreamlike world teeming with impossible beauty and forbidden temptations. Drawn through the glass, Ren finds himself in the Mirror World, a realm ruled by seductive beings who crave what he has always guarded — his innocence. There, sensual elf queens, cunning succubi, and mystical priestesses lure him deeper with whispers of pleasure and secrets too intoxicating to resist. Every time he crosses over, Ren’s desires awaken further, feeding the Mirror World’s magic — and binding him tighter to its dangerous temptresses. But behind each teasing kiss and heated touch lies a hidden truth: Ren is not just a visitor. He is the key to an ancient power, a pure vessel in a realm that devours purity for strength. With every surrender, he inches closer to losing himself — or embracing the dark ecstasy that the mirror’s magic promises. In a world where innocence is the greatest treasure, and temptation is a test of will, Ren must choose: shatter the mirror’s hold and return to his empty reality — or step willingly into a fantasy where pleasure is power… and his heart may never escape.

In 2018, at the height of the digital age, humanity believed it had mastered the world. Data replaced belief. Protocols claimed to explain everything. Democracies spoke of control. Then, what should never have returned answered. The collapse did not come in silence — it was broadcast, debated, and denied until it could no longer be ignored. Institutions fell, leaders collapsed, and a world fractured by ambition was divided. From the chaos rose the 24 Empires, ruled by beings the world would come to know as the Celestial Sovereigns. There are no nations left. Only territories shaped by divine will, where each empire imposes its law, its faith, and its war. Decades later, humanity endures amid fragile alliances, hidden conflicts, and thrones raised upon ruins — both digital and sacred. Now, as even the gods begin to move beyond their thrones, the true fate of the world is about to be claimed. This story is originally written in Portuguese and is being translated into English. I appreciate your understanding and feedback to keep the story faithful to its original version.
