“I’m Miss Mary. Now I’m next to you.”... more>>

Shin Takisawa, a high school boy who came to the city for university entrance exams, met an eccentric but beautiful schoolgirl who claimed to be a part of an urban legend. Just as they begin to feel an indescribable affinity for one another, the two are dragged into strange paranormal phenomena as they secretly run about…

“It is surely fate!” the self-proclaimed urban legend says dreamily.

“I’ll admit it was a strange connection,” the boy declared, shrugging his shoulders bashfully.

The pair somehow wound up attending the same university, and due to that experience and their particular “idiosyncrasies,” they started a club that also served as a hobby.

“The Raven Club”

That is to say, ghosts and such, any conceivable mysterious or puzzling existence in this world. Supernatural phenomena. An occult research club that goes around experiencing urban legends.

This tale is a catalog of the mysterious, bizarre stories that started from the meeting of this pair that could see these kinds of spirits.

Sometimes trembling in fear, sometimes their hearts dancing, the two—more than friends but less than lovers— are even today going… <<less

*This novel is set in a fictional time and place, with numerous occult and horror elements... more>>

Layla, who was born as the daughter of a witch, had the ability to see 'things that should not be seen' from the moment of her birth.

I don't want to see it, but I see it, I don't want to hear it, but I hear it.

She didn't want to see, but she saw; she didn't want to hear, but she heard. Although she was a powerful psychic, her life was filled with horror as she could see and hear things she shouldn’t.

A man suddenly appeared in front of her as she lived alone and was ostracized by the village, it was Eustar Hyianmoric.

He was the Crown Prince of the Shearlow Kingdom and the head of the knightly order ‘Tentinella’. He desired Layla's extraordinary eyes and ears.

Layla, who became Eustar's spouse on the surface by the King order, paired up with him to solve the eerie phenomena of the Shearlow Kingdom in exchange for tremendous compensation, honor, and freedom.

What was the King plotting, and what was Eustar hiding?

And what was the initial secret that even Layla herself didn’t know? <<less

Dahlia Von Klose who possesses two powers at the same time and the Fifth Returner [5th time regressor] Jurgen Axel Edelred.... more>>

In order to survive one more day, the two desperately needed each other.

Kissing Dahlia’s white legs up to her knees, he felt a distinct satisfaction.

Even if it’s a new presence in her world, yes. There is nothing different from the others. With a remorseful expression she’ll push him away saying don’t do this. She’ll hide the joy of having a higher status person with a dignified, proud face kneel before her, promising that he will grant anything she wants.

Grasping her heel, he swept up her soft calf and grabbed the back of her knee. Then he looked up at her as she trembled like her frightened bird.

Ha!

However, the moment Dahlia’s eyes met his, a chilling sensation of pleasure ran through Jurgen’s back.

Covering her mouth, Dahlia was holding back a burst of laughter, like someone who had seen a gruesome comedy. With her sight full of the kneeling man at her feet, she showed an unhidden scorn.

Unconsciously his grip grew stronger on Dahlia’s leg. Then she flinched and bent forward towards Jurgen. She still hadn’t erased a feeling similar to contempt in her eyes.

“What are you up to? Sir Edeled.”

It was a voice sweet as poison.

Smiling, Jurgen let her legs go, then got up on his knees. Following the dark red eyes that became cold in an instant, Dahlia’s held his stare.

The mask of the noble Jurgen Axel Edelred had cracked. The man’s eyes looked down obliquely and then grew long in a smile as he swept back his flowing bangs.

“Ah… . Did I get caught?” <<less

Jin-ah dedicates her life to caring for her stepmother. ... more>>

One day, a peculiar lawyer pays her a visit, revealing the unfortunate news of her grandmother's passing and his intention to claim the inheritance as per her will.

The stipulation for the inheritance is that Jin-ah must ensure no one enters the mansion she is set to inherit.

Deeming it a manageable task, she agrees, securing the funds needed to make a fresh start.

Everything progresses smoothly—her business thrives, and her relationship with the once-strained stepmother deepens.

However, this harmony is short-lived when her stepmother embezzles funds and disappears.

In the midst of financial turmoil, Jin-ah is approached by strangers expressing a desire to film her grandmother's mansion, seeking her permission.

She rejects their proposal, as it is the only way to continue receiving monthly payments from the trust.

Subsequently, an arrogant and shallow man waves money in front of her, making an audacious proposition.

"With your permission, I'll give you a few more of these. One for every time we film the mansion, how about that?"

After refusing with profanity, Jin-Ah forgot about their existence.

That is until the police contact her, reporting an unauthorized entry into the mansion, resulting in a tragic accident— one dead and four injured.

Upon her arrival at the previously unvisited mansion, the rescuer makes an unsettling declaration.

"No! There's one more down there! There were six of us!”

***

"I understand that you think I'm weird. Until last year, I would have been an as*hole who believed in the money and the power of the family and did whatever the f*ck I wanted.”

It was such a perfect description that Jin-ah didn't need to add anything.

“I guess you could say that Kno-Dearg Manor gave me a new lease on life because I felt the need to change a lot since then."

The man, now an uncannily different person, extended his hand to Jin-ah.

"Consider the old Lan Isford dead.”

"I want to eat.”

I want to eat that.

So, I approached and grabbed her.

My stomach churned at the sight of the person looking at me in surprise.

Regardless of whether there were people around or not, I wanted to swallow her whole, leaving not a single strand of hair behind.

I carefully smelled it.

Mine. Something for me to eat.

My tongue, which had been suppressing hunger, eagerly twisted in the mouth filled with something sweet.

But then I found out.

That she tastes better on the inside. <<less

Life plummeted in an instant after her father’s death.

She struggled desperately, even amidst her mother’s extravagance and the mounting debts that they could not overcome.

“Mother, are you… are you really suggesting I be sold to a man older than you right now?”

Yet, everything collapsed with just one sentence from her mother.

Then, an offer to become a tutor came from the wealthiest and most prestigious household of the kingdom, House Otis. She had no choice but to accept.

"Welcome to the most fragrant tomb in the world, Miss Richelle Howard. Let's be good, amicable corpses together."

A mansion covered in roses. The dazzlingly beautiful Otis family.

Within it, strange incidents began, slowly tightening their grip around her neck.

Now, it’s time to face the consequences of her choice.

As night fell, the other side of the city was just beginning to wake up.... more>>

The driver retracted his claws, and the bartender hid his tail.

The blood turned into roses, and the long hair wrapped around the branches.

"Believe me, there were absolutely no monsters in the world."

"Shut up, you didn't have an ID card!"

The unknown creature, inexplicably domineering, attacked the rich young man who was actively making money and saving the world as a sideline. <<less

Ki-hyeon found himself possessing a character from a zombie movie he had watched before.... more>>

"What the hell? What's going on?"

Not only were the grotesque zombies terrifying, but what drove him even more insane was the fact that every time he died, it was as if the game reset and he went back to 19:21.

"...Wow, you must really f*cking love me. You're definitely my stalker."

To make matters worse, he was now possessing a stalker of Yoo Min-ho, one of the main characters in the movie.

The trust of those around him hit rock bottom.

Escaping from the building seemed like an impossible task.

And then, someone kept sending him meaningful messages through a cellphone with no service...
