Vanity Scarlett

ThornSphere
On the verge of marriage, Jessica makes a life-altering choice when she uncovers a devastating truth about her fiancé. Determined to start anew, she leaves everything behind and moves to the bustling city, chasing her dream of working in media. Struggling to rebuild her life, she finds shelter in a modest, dorm-style apartment owned by an elderly woman—who, unbeknownst to Jessica, is the mother of a man she once rejected. Though their past could have been awkward, Jessica and this man maintain a respectful, even friendly, relationship. But as their paths intertwine in unexpected ways, a slow-burning and unique romance begins to blossom. By day, Jessica navigates her new career; by night, she becomes Miss Vanity Scarlett, a mysterious late-night radio DJ who captivates listeners with haunting, emotional stories—each one echoing secrets, regrets, and second chances. As Jessica reads these tales on air, they begin to mirror her own journey, blurring the lines between her reality and the fiction she shares. But whose stories are they, really? And how do they connect to the people now entering her life?

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana.

And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied.

System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time.
