Ethan is a man nearing forty who has squandered his life behind a screen. Since his teenage years, he has poured everything into online games, chasing digital achievements while real life quietly passed him by. Now, with reality finally weighing on him, he realizes how empty his existence has become. Despite decades of obsession, he has only one thing to show for it: the #1 account in the world’s most popular MMORPG, Lost World Online—a fully immersive virtual game operated through neural-link technology. It is an account powerful enough to guarantee fame, sponsorships, and a second chance at life. But overnight… it vanishes. No warnings… No errors… His account simply ceases to exist. Ethan spends the entire night frantically searching for answers, contacting the developers through official forums, only to be told that nothing can be done. Without the account, even streaming or professional contracts are impossible. Exhausted and hollow, he finally gives up and falls asleep, deciding to forget his regret, half hoping everything would be a dream when he wakes up. When Ethan opens his eyes, he finds himself standing before the character creation screen of Lost World Online. It feels like a dream, yet his mind is clear, his body well responsive, not even like a game. Paying little attention, he goes ahead and creates a character and initiates the game. Then, his vision is swallowed by darkness. A violent rush of wind slams into him, and when his senses return, he is standing inside a bustling town from the game. Before he can question the missing opening cutscene—something that should always play after character creation—his attention is seized by the scene around him. The town was celebrating an Annual Festival. This was a festival that only ever occurred once, a festival that marked the first day Lost World Online was launched. Realizing the impossible, Ethan hurriedly calls up his system interface—only to find that there is no options menu, no settings, no log-out button… “This cannot be real.”

Lumira has no history — only a name and a life she built alone. When men in black suits appear at her door with a photograph of a woman who looks exactly like her, her world collapses in a single sentence: “You’ve been chosen.” Taken against her will and delivered into the ruthless mafia empire of Zarek Volkov, Lumira learns the truth — she wasn’t kidnapped. She was selected. Chosen to replace a dead woman. Chosen to wear another name. Chosen to live another life. Chosen to become a ghost’s shadow. Zarek doesn’t want love. He doesn’t want healing. He doesn’t want consent. He wants continuity. Cold. Dominant. Untouchable. A man who rules through fear and silence. A king who doesn’t negotiate — he commands. As Lumira is stripped of identity, freedom, and choice, a psychological war begins between possession and resistance, control and survival, obsession and defiance. Because she refuses to disappear. And he refuses to let her remain. In a world where power replaces morality and love is a weapon, The Girl in the Photograph is a dark, twisted mafia romance about identity theft, psychological dominance, forced transformation, and a dangerous bond that blurs the line between captivity and connection. Some love stories begin with a kiss. Hers begins with a replacement.

“Not everyone who survives… wanted to.” In a world that measures a person’s worth by their ability to endure, Gilbert Klein continues to live inside a body that is slowly collapsing, bearing a power he does not understand and does not dare to call a blessing. That power does not protect him. Instead, it reminds him—again and again— that whatever he is, has yet to be decided. Raymond Baskerville, on the other hand, is a name that remained after everything else disappeared. A survivor devoid of life, a shunned duelist— not because his hands are stained with blood, but because those who draw close to him never leave unchanged. What begins as a fleeting intersection between two people cast to the edges of the world slowly turns into a bond steeped in caution, silence, and the heavy sense that this meeting was never a coincidence. As Gilbert struggles to understand himself, his certainty grows: his life was never his alone. And that someone stands dangerously close— not out of pity, not out of affection, but as if retreat is no longer an option. In a world that offers no salvation, clinging to life becomes an act of cruelty, and survival itself the heaviest form of punishment

When Khem’s true plan begins to unfold, Xal and Kian must choose between justice, vengeance, and sacrifice.
