IGN(s): Naobito / Getower Category (Solo/Group/Creative): Creative Recipient(s): Myself. Concept of card (optional): Not every Valentine is written for two. The cruelty of love. The only certain part in life is yourself.. and your shadow. When nobody follows, your shadow still does. When you’re all alone, there’s only the moon above, and something behind you that never leaves. The world turns its back. Voices fade. Promises break. The shadow doesn’t pretend. It stretches when you rise, and stays when you fall. Under moonlight or darkness, step after step, it reminds you of one simple truth.. You were never empty, you were never truly alone - you had yourself. And somehow? that was enough.

IGN(s): TheLordThief Category (Solo/Group/Creative): Solo Recipient(s): Myself Concept of card (optional): Whirpool of Time & Time Maker of Ludibrium It's strange that I find myself entrapped in this loop of never-ending search for love. And thus far, I've come to one certain conclusion. Love starts from within, from the self. It fills the self first and only then, it seeps out. Love yourself, let it be permanent, let it stand strong against time. Happy Valentine's Day 2026, Royals

Families are laughing along the beach, just like we used to. Seeing them here reminds me of us. I miss you. I love you. ❞ When people speak of love, they often think of romance. Yet for many of us, the greatest love in life is found in family, especially our parents. You may have heard people say that we should take more photos and record more videos while our parents are still with us. In this scene, instead of photos or videos, we wanted to capture a quiet moment of someone listening to a voice message their parents left behind, remembering the days they shared together. While your loved ones are still beside you, make as many memories as you can. By hiding the character behind the large shell, we tried to create the feeling that a voice message is playing from their phone.
IGN(s): Vinilos Category (Solo): Solo Recipient(s): the girl that broke my heart Concept of card: The night can be cold and difficult, but the light that someone brings into your life can bring dawn to your heart.

IGN(s): Prenter Category (Solo/Group/Creative): Solo Recipient(s): To everyone creating MapleRoyals Concept of card (optional): 親愛なるMilrinへ あれから一年が経ちました。 貴方からもらったチョコレートを、大事に仕舞っていたことをふと思い出したとき、私は考えてしまいました。 私と貴方は、いつまで一緒に居られるのだろう、と。 私は時々、見えない何かに怯えることがあります。 自分だけが立ち止まっているような気がして、 自分だけが変わっていないような気がして。 同じように笑っていても、 同じ場所に立っていても、 心の中まですべて同じではないのだと思います。 同じRoyalsの世界で出会い、同じ空の下で過ごしていても、 きっとそれぞれが見てきた景色は、少しずつ違います。 過ごしてきた日々の中で、楽しかった日も、悔しかった日も、 ただ静かに積み重なっていきました。 それでも私は思うのです。 同じ時代を過ごせたこと自体が、奇跡なのかもしれないと。 Royalsでも、現実の世界でも、時代は止まらず進んでいくのだから。 ボス中にふざけて笑いながら写真を撮った日も、 思うように強化がいかず落ち込んだ日も、 どちらも確かに、同じ「今日」という一日でした。 諦めきれず、それでも前に進もうとしている自分がいる。 この狭くて、けれど確かに愛おしい世界の中で、 私はずっと、この瞬間を探していたのかもしれません。 限りある時間のことも、 消えない過去のことも。 それでも、その全部が今の私を作っています。 なんて鮮やかで、なんて素敵なことなのでしょう。 Royalsで過ごした時間も、 出会った人たちも、 何気ない会話も、 すべてがその一部です。 きっと、見てきた景色が少し違うだけ。 だから私は、私として今を生きていこうと思います。 Royalsの世界でも、この現実でも、 あなたと出会えたことも、 この一年も、 私にとって、とても愛しい出来事でした。 ありがとう、Milrin。 いつか自分で振り返ったとき、このコンテストに応募したこともきっと、 私がこの瞬間を大切に生きていた、その証になるのでしょう。 だから今日という日も、きっと忘れたくない一日です。 また来年も、同じ空の下で笑えていますように。 それが今の私の、小さな願いです。 Dear Milrin, A whole year has passed since then. The other day, I suddenly remembered the chocolate you gave me, carefully kept away all this time. And it made me wonder… how long we will be able to stay together like this. Sometimes, I find myself afraid of something I cannot even see. As if I am the only one standing still. As if I am the only one who hasn't changed. Even when we laugh the same way, even when we stand in the same place, I know our hearts are not completely the same. We met in the same world of Royals, under the same sky, and yet I'm sure the scenery each of us has seen is just a little different. Through all the days we've spent there, the fun days and the frustrating ones alike, everything has quietly piled up to become part of our story. And still, I find myself thinking— Maybe just being able to live in the same time, to share the same moments, is already a miracle. Because time never stops, whether in Royals or in real life. The days we joked around and took screenshots during boss fights, and the days we felt down when upgrades didn't go our way— both were simply part of the same "today." Even now, there's a part of me that refuses to give up and keeps trying to move forward. In this small world—small, yet undeniably precious—I feel like I've been searching for moments like this all along. The limited time we have, the past that never truly disappears— all of it has shaped who I am today. And what a vivid, beautiful thing that is. The time I spent in Royals, the people I met, the ordinary conversations we shared— all of it is part of that. Maybe we just saw slightly different views along the way. So I'll keep living as myself, in my own way. Both in Royals and in this real world, meeting you, and this past year we've shared, have been truly precious to me. Thank you, Milrin. Someday, when I look back, I'm sure even entering this contest will feel like proof that I was truly trying to treasure this moment in my life. That's why today, too, feels like a day I never want to forget. I hope that next year, we'll still be able to smile together under the same sky. That is my small wish for now.
