Rayan Lancel, the famous detective of Ruhi Empire, suddenly went missing one day. No, he wasn't kidnapped. He just stopped showing up to his workplace. The reason?
He realized he isn't him anymore.
Ann Mackenzie, now possessing the body of Rayan Lancel, thought it was too much of a headache to become a detective. So she, now he, decides to quit and go look for other jobs.
Until one day, a criminal breaks into her house and starts claiming what she thought was hers. Her new life, with a new identity, wasn't as peaceful as she thought. As a whirlpool of conspiracy into the world of unknown drags her inside the mud she was desperately trying to escape, she must find out who she was, and has become, before more people keep dying.

Akio was just a kid when the sky tore open and stole everything from him. Now, years later, the world praises the gates for their "miracles", but behind those glowing doors are bloodthirsty monsters, corrupted leaders, and secrets no one dares to speak aloud.
When Akio discovers a gate and the truth behind his mother's death, he's forced into a fight far bigger than himself. Alongside a sarcastic clone wielder, a time bending fighter, and a mind hacker Akio sets out to unravel the gates' true purpose.
But as past trauma claws its way into the present, and enemies blur the line between friend and monster, Akio will have to face one impossible question:
What do you do when saving the world means destroying the peace it was built on?
