Deep love
By @Bobo
Lucien Blackwood, a cheerful young man, finds his world upended when a mysterious artifact grants him an extraordinary ability: the power to manipulate emotions, particularly love. What starts as a whimsical cheat to navigate his mundane life quickly spirals into a desperate struggle for survival. He can forge unbreakable bonds or shatter lifelong affections with a mere thought, but every use draws him deeper into a hidden war waged by ancient, loveless entities who feast on human connection. Now, Lucien must master his complex, ironic gift, not just to win the heart of his beloved, but to prevent the complete emotional desolation of humanity. The fate of love itself rests in his romantically-inclined hands, forcing him to confront the true cost of deep affection in a world intent on eradicating it.
