The Echoes Of Us

After three years away, Ava Carter returns to the coastal town of Ashbourne to confront the past she left behind. The once-vibrant art gallery she shared with her mother—Carter & Co. Fine Arts—now stands boarded up and fading, a painful reminder of her mother’s death and Ava’s unresolved grief. Haunted by memories and doubt, Ava moves back into the small apartment above the gallery, unsure whether she has the strength to revive it or if she is simply clinging to a legacy she never felt fully belonged to her. As Ava begins the slow, physical work of repairing the gallery, she is forced to confront the emotional fractures beneath the surface—her fear of failure, her sense of living in her mother’s shadow, and the weight of expectations left behind. Her solitude is interrupted by Ethan Bennett, a local musician whose unexpected kindness and quiet persistence begin to chip away at her defenses. Though guarded and wary, Ava finds herself drawn into brief, meaningful interactions that remind her she is not as alone as she believes. Through shared silences, small gestures, and the gradual reclaiming of creative space, Ava begins to rediscover her own voice as an artist. By the end of the second chapter, the gallery shifts from being a symbol of loss to one of possibility. As Ava opens her sketchbook and creates again, she realizes that returning to Ashbourne is not just about preserving her mother’s legacy—but about confronting her grief and deciding what she wants to build next.

Doomsday Beauty: Monsters Descended After My Plastic Surgery

[Warning: Mature Content] Tags: Regression, Beastmen, Beauty, Monsters, Futuristic Doomsday, Storage Space In every era—be it an ancient dynasty or a modern nation—the collapse of the world has often been blamed on beauty. A single smile that toppled a city. A single face that ruined a kingdom. All hastened by a hero's obsession. But what if— What if, for some absurd and ill-fated reason, the end of the entire world began right after a girl’s plastic surgery? The 31st century. An era of advanced civilization and cutting-edge technology. Who could have imagined that such a future would be swallowed overnight by something wild, savage, and primitive? Seo Hyejin had lived what most would call a perfect life. She came from a powerful family. She possessed a naturally beautiful face. Someone so dazzling that people once crowned her the Nation’s Crush. And yet, the reason she chose to alter her face—to carve it, refine it, and replace what heaven had given her with something artificial— Was not vanity. Nor insecurity. It was a reason no one would ever think of. As if it was a curse she quickly wanted to get rid after regressing. Say, the world will rot and end by tomorrow. How could a sane person take care of appearances instead of stocking supplies? "Seo Yoojin... Do you also think your sister is crazy?" SY: ... Hmm. Good. *Thumbs up* (My future wife can't be bullied but fighting Noona also means courting death. At worst, I'll have to give up marriage to take of a tiger and dedicate my youth peeling shrimps. Ha... The youngest's life is woeful.)
