Add in a new drug on the scene that is slowly killing their members, and life for Jaesung just got a lot harder.
A story about the dark underbelly of the city, with betrayal, murder, romance, and deceit at every corner.
Will Jaesung fall prey to the devil himself?

Abyssal
The day that Kai learns that he's half-human, half-merman and that he's the key to ending a 100-year-old war, is also the day that the entire ocean learns of his existence. For years his family kept him hidden from the world, but now the strongest, most dangerous merman in all the seven seas knows about Kai, and he's coming to the surface for him.
To ensure victory, King Marius the Conqueror must capture the half-breed prince of Astria, his nation's greatest enemy, and claim him as his Mate in order to absorb his power before he learns to use it. There's only one problem: there's nothing Marius hates more than humans, not even an Astrian, and Kai is both those things. But when Marius sees the beautiful Kai and clashes swords with him, the cold-blooded king's blood begins to boil for the very first time.
When a dark, handsome, sword-wielding stranger attacks Kai in his home, instead of running, Kai fights even though he knows he's no match. Defeated, Kai is kidnapped to a world he never knew existed and is held prisoner against his will. Thrust into a secret, dangerous aquatic world, Kai must learn to navigate swimming with a tail instead of legs and avoid a powerful, possessive king's advances if he wants to save his newly-discovered mer-people from annihilation.

When John "Jack" Byrd Jr. finally pushes his father's patience to the limit, he's tasked with picking the recipients of the academic scholarship; he does so with angry ambivalence for having his wings clipped. His home in the city of Allisport - metropolitan, ever-building Allisport - is too small. He wants to see the world, unable to let the suffocation of expectations take him.
Neither of them expected their decisions to make their world burn.
