It happened on the way to kindergarten, led by my mother.... more>>

A sweet, clear singing voice reached my ears, and I, a toddler wearing a yellow kindergarten cap, turned around.

In front of the vending machine attached to the stationery store I saw a mysterious woman in her twenties.

Startled, I pointed at her and looked up at my mother.

However, all my mother did was make a puzzled smile and say, ‘What is it? Do you want some juice?’

(My mom can’t see that lady.)

(Maybe she’s different. She’s not human.)

Since then, whenever we approached the stationery store, I would tug my mom’s hand to hurry and move away.

I had thought she was some sort of earthbound spirit or something, unable to leave the area around that vending machine.

But then, one day, I saw her walking around town and humming a tune with her umbrella open!

I fell into a state of panic!

After much thought, one afternoon, I mustered up the courage and went to the front of the stationery store alone to exorcist her—— <<less

When I woke up, I had returned to my junior high school self─.

"Hey, wait."
"Do we really have to do this?"
"Give me your hand!"
"I'm not a dog, you know..."
"Hand!"
"...."

My resigned expression said it all.

"Alright."
"Well done!"

And yet, as she caressed my hair, a tender smile graced my lips.

But once that gentle smile faded, a deep yearning settled in.

"Can we do it now?"

She nodded in response to my fervent crimson gaze. As she approached and sat on the bed, my eyes followed her every movement. Soon, she beckoned.

"Come here."

When their son turned one, he was diagnosed with mutism. Life was tough for the little couple, but it was still sweet.

Yue Qin’s company welcomed its new boss. He was an insensitive fuerdai*. During their company’s annual event, where employees were invited to a meal with their family members, the new boss heartlessly fired Yue Qin just because his son didn’t say any words of blessing. He stated that Yue Qin’s mute son was detrimental to the company’s image.

Seria was the youngest daughter of the Kester Duke's family, with five older brothers. ... more>>

She had a frail body and was a delicate cat, but her brothers grew up with all sorts of extraordinary abilities, becoming tigers and dragons.

"Seria, you have to marry a man like your brother when you grow up, okay?"

"What? No! I hate it!"

"Why are you saying it as if you were waiting…?"

No matter how hurt her brother looked, Seria remained resolute.

As someone surrounded by strong brothers who were overly protective to the point of suffocation, marrying such a man seemed inconceivable!

"I like him."

So, on impulse, she pointed to a small young boy.

Being of the same cat race and appearing frail at first glance, he caught her fancy.

However, there was one problem.

"I-I hate you!"

The boy avoided Seria.

Seria looked at the man who used to be a little boy running away from her.

The little boy, who had grown frighteningly big, slowly approached and said,

"Got it, Seria? If I can't stop…"

"Yuel…"

"Stab me with this."

I'll be fine. His muttering soon drowned between lips meeting each other.

He knew from the beginning that he wouldn't be able to stop himself. <<less

“Until the day humanity falls.”... more>>

In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases.

In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe.

An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot.

But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…

Shen Zhiyi: You are so straightforward.

Shen Zhiyi: You don’t remember me, do you? Well, I suppose I should have known that.

"What?"

"Miraculously appearing and saving you just before death, isn't that fate?"

Ahaak Osvold, the tyrant who would rule with cruelty, proposed an unexpected contract.

"Don't regret it later."

Then, I'll raise you as an emperor.

"Since I'm the only friend in your life, it's enough."

…Wait.
