What if Marco never gets killed by the tree? What would be the story?
_____... more>>

During a protest, a mediator survives the collapse of an ancient tree—but something has taken root inside him. With whispers in his mind and unseen forces watching, the truth must be uncovered before it is too late.
_____

Marco knew today was going to be a disaster. A storm was rolling in, a thousand-year-old tree was at the heart of a volatile protest, and corrupt officials were making his job unbearable. Then the tree fell—lightning struck—something ancient awoke.

And Marco should have died.

Instead, there was a voice. A name, foreign yet familiar. A whisper burrowing deep into his mind, taking root in the cracks of his being. When the darkness lifted, he was still himself—broken, aching, but alive.

But something had changed.

The presence that called to him hadn’t disappeared. It lingered, unseen, waiting. Watching.

And in the shadows, something else stirred. Something that had been waiting far longer.

Whether Marco was chosen, cursed, or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time no longer mattered. The world around him was shifting, and whatever had reached out to him from the depths of that fallen tree would not let go. <<less

The most powerful of all creatures, his human consciousness now faced an internal battle against the primal instincts of his dragon form. As his mind teetered on the edge of being consumed by his new nature, one question remained: Would he succumb to his bestial urges and become a force of destruction, or would he rise above them and forge a new path, bringing change to the world?

Within the palace, three princesses wrestle with the burdens of their birthrights. Lydia, heir to the throne, wields empathy as both shield and sword, torn between compassion and responsibility. Leah, the enigmatic second princess, cloaks her fragility in arrogance, her presence both mesmerizing and unpredictable.

As rebellion brews and alliances fracture, Kazuki finds himself drawn into a game far larger than he understands. Will he guide the kingdom toward a new era—or be consumed by the ambitions of those who seek to use him?

And in the end, can he discover who the man reflected in the mirror is?
