Lin Feng's dream was very simple: to become a highly skilled, popular musician. To gain a firm footing in the unpredictable entertainment industry, he activated a system that, among other things, had an auxiliary function dedicated to minimizing all uncontrollable interpersonal risks. His creed consisted of only four words: emotional stability, team perpetuity. Thus, he was rational, calm, and "maintained" every relationship around him like a delicate instrument. To prevent relationships from breaking, he never disappointed anyone; for the sake of team unity, he would respond to expectations no matter how late. Years later, when he stood center stage on the world platform, looking at the former girlfriends, current girlfriends, and rumored girlfriends sitting neatly in the audience, and facing the sharp media accusations of him being the "Century Sea King" and the "Music World Bulldozer," Lin Feng clutched his guitar, his face full of weary innocence: "If I told you that, at the beginning, I honestly just wanted to prevent the band from breaking up, would you believe me?" This is the story of a completely steel straight man who, in order to practice his guitar properly, was forced to navigate the treacherous waters of a love shuraba, and who, in the end, unknowingly charmed his way through the entire entertainment industry. ~~~~ Written deliberately to feel like an authentic Chinese translated webnovel.

In a world where dreams shape power, those known as Somniarchs manifest reality-warping concepts born from their sleep, visions fueled by desire, fear, and trauma. When a quiet high school student named Rei triggers a catastrophic anomaly without even knowing how, the world takes notice. Branded an unregistered threat, Rei is taken by a secret government division that monitors Somniarch activity. But Rei is different. Unlike others who draw power from dreams, he cannot sleep without reliving a nightmare, one where his sister nearly drowned, his parents died, and a nameless demon first whispered to him. That demon never left. As Rei is pushed toward his limits in a world that classifies people by danger level, he faces a truth far worse than imprisonment: his power does not come from dreams… but from something awake. When survival demands a choice, Rei is offered a pact known as The Covenant, a bond that grants terrifying power at the cost of his mind, his autonomy, and eventually his humanity. Because in this world, dreams don’t save you. They consume you. And some nightmares are never meant to end.

During their high school’s chaotic cultural night, Rhea Patel—the perfectionist planner and lead vocalist of her friend group—is found dead inside a locked music room, her death quickly written off as a tragic accident. A week later, each of her six closest friends receives an anonymous message exposing a secret only Rhea knew—and hinting that the “accident” was engineered. As they retrace the festival hour minute by minute, they uncover camera blind spots, altered logs, and overlapping alibis that only make one thing clear: every one of them unknowingly helped set up the perfect crime, the story follows their descent from shared grief into suspicion, as memories warp under pressure and the question shifts from “Who killed Rhea?” to “What did we do to make it possible?”

When the world awakened, miracles became commonplace. People gained abilities that grew stronger the more they mastered them. Fire that burned hotter, healing that defied death, strength that bent steel. Humanity celebrated its new age, blind to the cost. Signs were ignored, labelled as inexplicable anomalies. The changes were small at first — easy to ignore — but they accumulated. Amid the chaos of this new world, one person awakened to a power no one else possessed: the ability to erase awakenings entirely. What right did he have to decide who deserved their power? That question, however, was the least of Logan Morris's worries; it was the least of his plans. But would the world allow an existence like his to live quietly, or would he find a way to make it work?
