"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind. "Out of 2 million people living in this city, why are we the chosen ones?"... more>>

As if on cue, the eerie laughter of children could be heard above us. Holding our own candle tightly, we resolved to ignore them and continued our discussion.

It was a matter of life or death after all.

More than half of the initial participants had fallen and the building became more crowded as the result. There were now more ghosts than the living and each step was filled with danger from the unknown.

Either we solved all the questions now or we would become another addition to the ghost camp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was one thing Novita found out after she accepted an invitation to a suspicious event from a seemingly legal company.

Crowded didn't exactly mean safe.

As more and more variables were added to the dangerous ritual, the higher the risk of death. At the same time, the higher the risk was, the better the rewards for it.

But in the end, was it worth it?

An ancient hunchback named Finnel is the principal of a school where students’ special abilities might be called magical, supernatural powers.... more>>

Or, maybe those students’ heightened attributes are more like honed talents any ordinary person could discover and dedicate to developing.

Either way, at Finnel's school, even the most otherworldly of traits always finds its source in something REAL . . . in actual human capacities, like intuition, empathy, awareness, strength...

REAL is a series of ongoing tales, each centered around an individual student at Finnel's school.

Framing slice-of-life authenticity with cool powers and uplifting humor, REAL maintains a light, fun tone while never shying away from digging down deep into weighty themes like identity, connection, and meaning. <<less
