[SYNOPSIS]
For as long as she could remember, loneliness was a familiar companion to Aria — mocked for her small frame, misunderstood by those around her, and abandoned by fleeting hopes of romance. But when the world collapsed into chaos, and monstrous creatures tore through cities, Aria's quiet life was shattered.
Now, two years later, she fights not for love, but for survival — leading a group of broken souls, shielding the young, and earning the name "Mother" from those she saved. Her guns and magic speak louder than her delicate appearance ever could.
But fate, relentless and unexpected, isn't finished with her.
When a towering figure with a blade of silver shields her from the jaws of a dragon, Aria's buried memories resurface — the man who once pulled her from the brink of death now stands before her once more.
In a world where survival is the only certainty, can love still find a place?

Chapter 1: The Meeting
(Aria, 27 years old, born in South Korea, Female)
Aria looked at the man, wondering who he was...
> "Ugh... Damn it, now I can't move at all... Hey, big guy! The dragon's main weakness is the eyes! They can't sense your movement without them!"
The man understood quickly and readied his attack.
In a flash, he climbed onto the dragon's head and stabbed through its eye.
> "So this is how it's done, huh?" he muttered.
He quickly finished off the remaining dragons around them.
Aria, watching from the ground, slowly lost consciousness.
—
When she woke up, she was back at their base, surrounded by worried children.
Her companions, Sarah and Luka, rushed over to check on her.
(Sarah, 19 years old, born in Malaysia, Female)
> "Mother, are you okay?"
(Luka, 23 years old, born in Russia, Female)
> "Yeah, Aria, your wound was really bad when we found you. Luckily, someone used healing magic on you."
Hearing about the healing magic, Aria quickly pushed herself up.
> "Healing magic? But we don't have a heale—"
> "I have."
A deep voice interrupted her.
Aria turned sharply to the source — a tall, serious-looking man stood there, handsome and strong.
The same man who had saved her two years ago.
> "...You're..."
> "Glad to see you're healthier than before," he said with a slight smile.
To be continued...
