Two Steps Behind

Two Steps Behind

5.0

In a quiet, modern high school tucked into the edges of a bustling city, two gifted teenagers-Aiko Tanaka and Ren Ishikawa-live on the threshold of extraordinary futures. Aiko is a rising jutsu prodigy, dedicated to the traditions of her martial arts lineage, shaped by discipline, focus, and a relentless pursuit of self-mastery. Ren, on the other hand, is a talented cook with a gentle demeanor, a warm laugh, and an uncanny ability to appear exactly when Aiko needs support the most. Their friendship, forged in childhood and strengthened by years of shared struggles, seems unbreakable-until betrayal and suspicion begin to seep into the cracks of their perfect trust. Aiko's life is thrown into chaos when her chance to qualify for a prestigious jutsu tournament is abruptly ruined by a cruel and targeted act of bullying. The incident appears to be the culmination of a deeper conspiracy-one that not only shames her publicly but isolates her from her peers and puts her future on the line. The sabotage is too calculated to be a coincidence, and someone clearly wants her to break. Ren, ever the devoted friend, becomes her anchor in the storm. He investigates on her behalf, comforts her when no one else dares to approach, and even works with school staff and the police to catch those responsible. His genuine care for her seems unwavering. But beneath the surface, Aiko is plagued by questions: Who benefits from her fall? Why are her memories from that day blurry? And why does she sometimes feel like she's being watched-even when she's alone? The deeper she digs, the murkier the truth becomes. She uncovers evidence that points in multiple directions-false leads, manipulated footage, missing records. Even Ren's name surfaces in strange, unsettling ways. But whenever her suspicion rises, Ren is there to shield her with unwavering sincerity, disarming her fears with kindness and honesty. Every time she doubts him, he does something selfless. Every time she considers stepping away, he offers a reason to stay close. And yet, something gnaws at her: the feeling that she's playing a game she doesn't know the rules to. As the conspiracy deepens, new characters emerge from the shadows. A seemingly distant gym coach-Coach Nakamura-watches Aiko's progress with more interest than expected. His gruff demeanor hides a buried past as a former marine SEAL, a history that quietly intersects with Aiko's unfolding mystery. A girl named Mei, once a fellow martial arts trainee, reappears with cryptic warnings and a folder of classified school documents. And hidden among them all is Risa, a quiet student working in the archives, whose involvement in the sabotage might not be out of malice, but manipulation. Aiko's journey becomes more than a quest for justice. It turns inward, forcing her to question the foundation of her trust, the sincerity of her memories, and her own capacity for doubt. She trains harder, sharpens her instincts, and learns to mask her emotions, preparing herself for the fight ahead-not just in tournaments, but in every hallway, every conversation, and every hidden message she receives. But unlike many heroines, Aiko isn't driven by revenge. She's driven by clarity. She wants the truth-not just about her enemies, but about her friends, her protectors, and herself. And most of all, she wants to know whether Ren-the boy who has stood by her through pain and uncertainty-is truly the person he appears to be. Or if he, too, is part of the illusion surrounding her. What unfolds is a tense, emotional psychological thriller set against the backdrop of martial discipline and adolescent vulnerability. The story explores themes of trust, manipulation, and resilience, with undertones of sensuality and subtle danger. Aiko must navigate not only the politics of her school and the complexities of her relationships but also the quiet war being waged in the corners of her mind. As the tournament approaches once again, and the final players begin to reveal themselves, Aiko must decide what she's willing to risk to uncover the truth-and whether she can afford to believe in the one person who's never left her side. Even if that belief might destroy her.

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
