In a bustling port town in 1710, where cobblestone streets buzzed with merchants and sailors, and the salty scent of the sea hung in the air, lived a girl named Nami. She was twelve, with a tangle of chestnut curls and eyes that sparkled like the ocean under a noon sun. Nami wasn’t like other kids in Orange Town... she didn’t dream of fancy dresses or grand adventures on pirate ships. Her heart...
In the dusty, sun-soaked town of Kamunting, where cacti waved like friendly neighbors, 11-year-old Anna zoomed through the streets on her trusty skateboard, its wheels humming a song only she could hear. Her curly hair bounced under her neon-green helmet, and her eyes sparkled with dreams bigger than the desert sky. Anna wasn’t just any kid—she was the fastest skater in town, and she had a...
Once upon a time in the cozy town of Tanjung Bungah, there lived a curious 9-year-old named Eddy. With wild brown hair and eyes full of wonder, Eddy loved nothing more than playing video games. His favorite place was his grandpa's attic, where dusty boxes and forgotten treasures hid exciting secrets.

He hated the city, Neo-Kyoto, a concrete jungle choked with holographic advertisements and the constant thrum of hovercars. But tonight, he had no choice.
The old woman, Elara, sat on the weathered porch swing. Her wrinkled hands, gnarled like ancient tree roots, clutched a chipped ceramic mug. Steam curled from the chamomile tea, carrying the scent of sun-baked earth and distant rain. The air was thick with the buzz of cicadas, a sound that always transported her back to her childhood.
