Synopsis
After his family of sacred artifact guardians is massacred, Iden survives by chance and summons Azrael, the angel of death. Azrael offers him three wishes, though the angel's methods for manipulating desires mirror those of a demon. This story reads like a dark fantasy romance centered on supernatural pacts and the monkey's paw trope. It is ideal for readers who enjoy short-form BL and poignant, supernatural tragedies. However, those seeking an epic, long-form world-building experience or a slow-burn romance should skip this title. The pacing is incredibly rapid due to its brevity, focusing on the immediate emotional desperation of the protagonist and the enigmatic nature of the entity he summoned. Its standout quality is the thematic exploration of freedom and redemption within a very limited timeframe.

Editorial Review
This is a remarkably brief work, functioning more as a supernatural vignette than a full-length novel. The primary strength lies in its focused premise; the dynamic between the grieving Iden and the morally ambiguous Azrael is established quickly and effectively. The thematic connection between death and desire provides a solid foundation for the narrative. However, the five-chapter length is a significant weakness. There is simply not enough space to fully explore the lore of the sacred artifacts or the supporting roles of characters like Edgar and Devon. While the story reaches a conclusion, the emotional payoff feels rushed because the relationship develops in an accelerated timeframe. It serves as a poetic glimpse into a tragedy but lacks the substance required for a truly immersive reading experience.
