  Summary

  Mary Saotome doesn't play games she can't win—until Ririka Momobami invites her to a private match with no cards, no audience, and no mask. What begins as a quiet wager unfolds into something far more dangerous: desire without rules.

  In the shadows of Hyakkaou Academy, beneath all the games and masks, Mary and Ririka begin something they never planned—something intimate, intense, and impossible to hide.

  Summary

  Lucifer Morningstar isn't interested in affection. He’s interested in control. In curiosity. In the strange little creature playing king in a hotel meant for hopeless things. Alastor is sharp, charming, and utterly untouchable—or so he insists. But when power collides with performance, and control begins to slip beneath a gloved touch, even a god must wonder: who’s leading the dance, and who’s about to fall?

  Summary

  Idia Shroud never asked to fall in love with a 700-year-old chaos fae with perfect eyeliner and a teasing voice that could emotionally dismantle a fortress. But then Lilia Vanrouge logged into his favorite co-op game, started calling him “Shroud~” in voice chat, and everything spiraled out of control. By the time the “Confession Arena” is built, it’s already too late.

  And Ortho? Ortho was just trying to help. Operation CupidBot.exe was supposed to be mission-focused. Objective-based. Love was the goal—for Idia.

  But now Ortho’s wondering why the world feels quieter when Silver isn’t around. Why silence feels like a language. Why something warm and unfamiliar is flickering in his chest, and only one person makes it stabilize.

  Two love stories. One emotional support robot. One war criminal with a romance agenda. Several forehead touches.
  Everyone’s spiraling. No one’s immune.
  At least there’s tea.
