A short story from the official website of a mobile game called Soccer Spirits. This was actually done quite some time ago and it was already posted on some of the game's communities, but I'll be leaving this here too for archiving purposes.... more>>

Caution: Everything in this story might sound very strange if you don't know anything about the game. Especially the whole soccer thing. <<less

In the deceitful reality of the unlucky and cursed, a survival game unfolds. Hwang Hyun, who miraculously survived terminal cancer, discovers that the price for his return is a curse.

As a cursed individual, Hyun attracts the attention of the mega-corporation Cheonseung.

It’s a game of striking each other from behind—only then can survival be assured.

The story unfolds with relentless cycles of distrust, betrayal, and unexpected twists. Who will emerge as the ultimate villain in this gripping tale? <<less

She jumped into the sea to die.... more>>

Hee-yeon tried to escape from her home, her fiancé and everything that bound her.

Until she is caught by a stranger who saves her life.

“Why do you have to be on my radar, if you’re going to die, then do it quietly and privately!”

“Who told you to save me?”

“If you really try again, you’ll die at my hands.”

With that, Hee-yeon runs after Yi-kyu, the man who saved her, and throws herself into his life.

A life lived in a mouldy, underground room, fighting in the ring as a means of entertainment for gangsters.

The naive Yi-kyu roughly pushes Hee-yeon away, but he is unable to stop himself.

“f*ck you. I should’ve left you alone when you wanted to die.”

“You already saved me, so it’s not my fault. I’m going to get you out of here like you got me out of the Black Sea”.

A woman who wants to die and a man who wants to live.

Two people who started off on the wrong foot set out to save each other.

” Hey, Yi Kyu, don’t die.”

She couldn’t tell him not to fight. It’s something he’s been doing all his life. Hee-yeon hadn’t even taught him how to live normally yet.

But his black eyes flickered wildly.

“…This is some kind of joke, why are you talking like you’re leaving?”

Yi Kyu’s voice trembled, his shoulders shaking roughly. “You said you wouldn’t leave because it was my decision to save you.”

There were no excuses; she’d said it, promised it, and now she had the audacity to say she was leaving.

“I saved you!”

Yi Kyu shouted furiously.

She couldn’t bring herself to look up and see his face. Hee-yeon let out a shaky breath and clutched his shoulders tightly, closing her eyes. <<less

“…How is he so good at it? He’s young, and he’s not particularly good physically. Does that make sense?” The man’s question was valid. However,... more>> that question was only asked when people did not know the newly appeared Shin Seong, Yoo Ji-woo. “You don’t know Yujiu? You don’t even know his nickname?” “…What, what’s your nickname?” “The next Maradona, the future of Korean soccer, fraudulent characters, and-” The last answer was drowned out by the cheers of the audience. However, the answer was just as I heard. Because everyone was shouting that nickname in unison. “Aliens in the field!” <<less

But one day, when I became an adult and was about to get divorced, I ended up having a child in an unexpected night. Oh my god. So I tried to leave before I got caught... "Uh, Richard. ? There is some misunderstanding-” “I have no intention of letting you go, so even if you die, die in my arms, Elisa.” Her beautiful face was shedding tears as she begged, “Where are you going to run away with my child?” He even chases after me with cold eyes? ...

Her motherland, Asahel, has fallen.

She was the guardian of a young princess who inherited the blood of a Northern Witch, and as a Sorcerer of Asahel.

Abigail must obey the endless hells.

“Win the favor of His Holiness. Become an Opal.

“If you’re ever in trouble, I’ll gladly step in and help.”

His Holiness, Benedict Ögranche.

“You will hear nothing, nothing, from me.”

Spring will return, but Benedict will not.

Abigail was bitterly saddened by that fact.

To live by simply breathing.

To live by oneself.

And lastly, to live without a trace.

Roselyn Bluebell was once called the Blue Rose of the Empire, but became embroiled in various scandals due to the intrigues of her stepmother and ex-husband.... more>>

Exhausted from enduring the rapidly changing circumstances and countless misunderstandings, she was approached by Prince Aiden, who extended his hand to her. However, she did not know if he was her salvation or not.

“I need a scandal to turn down the marriage proposal. After I’ve achieved my goal, there will be sufficient compensation.”

“You’re trying to make me a target for your arrows.”

“To put it bluntly.”

And the Prince, as arrogant as he was noble, had no qualms about picking on Roselyn's wounds.

“You have to be smart, Roselyn, to get what you desire.”

For Roselyn, who was cornered, the temptation to restore everything she had lost was too sweet, so much so that she deliberately ignored the fact that she might regret it.

Willingly, Roselyn took the Prince’s hand and decided to plunge into the fall.

***

Aiden slowly took her outstretched hand and lowered his head. His lips, which rested on the back of her hand, felt hot as if they would burn her. He whispered, pulling Roselyn’s hand hard as she panicked and tried to withdraw it, “You will have to get used to skinship with me by this time.”

“Why, why…?”

“Because a lover in love should not be startled by holding hands.”

His eyes admonished her, as if asking if he had made a trivial statement. Roselyn exhaled deeply, as if she had made up her mind, and curled her fingers slowly. Aiden smiled brightly as he held her hand in his own large hand.

“Then, please take care of me, my love.” <<less
