Yoo Hyunmin, who had just shed his rookie status at Shinhwa Group and was finally adjusting to corporate life, one day crashes into a black foreign car in the company parking lot.... more>>

The car’s owner?

None other than his boss, Lee Hyun, known for being more than just picky—he was downright terrifying.

But something’s strange. Lee Hyun doesn’t get angry, even when looking at his wrecked car.

Not only that, but he’s more concerned about Hyunmin’s condition. And then he even suggests having dinner together.

The distance between Hyunmin and the man he once wanted to avoid more than anything is getting smaller and smaller.

A strange anticipation stirs in Hyunmin at the prospect of a relationship with a team leader—something he’d never even dared imagine.

The man who gives only cold stares to others starts to smile faintly at him, making his heart flutter. This tingling feeling… it’s definitely the sign of a romantic spark starting after what feels like a million years.

But then, the team leader—no, the beta, Lee Hyun—who has been gently teasing Hyunmin…

The closer Hyunmin gets to him, the more he senses traces of some damned bastard.

It’s clearly the pheromones of an alpha like himself. There’s no way he could miss that unless he were a fool.

…No way. That perfectly clean-cut face—is he playing the field?! <<less

After the war, the nation was divided into four sectors: the City, Safe Zone, Administrative Zone, and the Restricted Zone — where your district defines your class.... more>>

Seventeen years ago, an incident dropped Kang Jinha overnight from the highest social tier to the very bottom.

Now, he works as a gang member in the lowest zone and services VVIPs at an elite club.

One day, Yoo Yigeon — Executive Director of Yoo Kang Group, the world’s top defense company and the most powerful figure in the City — shows up in front of him.

Through coercion and persuasion, Yoo Yigeon forces Jinha to take his hand, and together, they begin to dig into the hidden truth behind the tragedy that occurred 17 years ago — a past that entwines them both.

As they pursue the culprit responsible for that long-ago disaster, something unexpected takes root: feelings they never anticipated for each other. <<less

Noh Heesung, a student on leave from Korea University, lives a life that seems to pack in every tragedy the world has to offer—but it’s made him a master of survival.... more>>

Always on the run from money problems, he’s done just about every job imaginable—except the one he really shouldn’t have.

He didn’t know it was the one thing he should never do.

Tempted by cash, he began secretly working as a malicious commenter targeting Origin Club. But the moment he saw Gu Jaehyuk, the terrifying new owner of Origin, he knew instantly…

…he was a dead man walking.

And he was right. Turns out, the saying “better alive in a dung heap than dead in silk” was total bullshit.

As Heesung’s life spirals further into hell, the only person he can cling to is Jaehyuk.

So he does—voluntarily becoming Jaehyuk’s possession.

But one day, Heesung realizes the place he’s trapped in is nothing more than a cozy garbage bin.

He makes up his mind.

He needs to run—from Gu Jaehyuk.

Luckily, Heesung, who got into the country’s top university on his own merit, isn’t just good-looking—he’s smart.

And so, Jaehyuk ends up losing the “pretty little bastard” he went through hell and high water (and even crossed borders) to make his own.

“Where’s my mutt? Where’s Noh Heesung?” <<less

As Haebom walked along the campsite trail, reading his novel, he quite literally stepped into its world. ... more>>

And right in front of the sub male protagonist—who was about to meet his death, no less!

On top of that, he was now an S-rank Guide?

It was already absurd enough that he had fallen into the world of a novel, but awakening as an S-rank Guide?

Though momentarily flustered, Haebom quickly made up his mind—he would become the partner of Wonho, the sub male protagonist he had pitied throughout the entire story.

Of course, only until he found a way back.

But… was the sub male protagonist always this prickly?

Like a wary cat that refused to be touched, Wonho kept running away from him, dodging him at every turn.

Determined, Haebom gave chase—only to make a drunken mistake in the end…! <<less

The emperor Heraith Yorun Kellenhan, infamous for his nasty temper, pickiness, and extreme workaholism. And then there’s Lucian Astro, the legendary chief aide, even more of a workaholic, known for flawlessly handling all tasks. Hiding his feelings under a stoic facade, Lucian has been serving loyally, until one day, after yet another scandal involving the emperor, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He tosses in his resignation and sets himself free.... more>>

“Ah, quitting feels so good!”

With light steps, he walks out of the palace.

**

But then…

“Chief of Staff! Please come back, I’m going to die without you.”

“Lucian, the empire is in chaos. Please, we beg you, save us.”

“Lucian, Lucian, please!”

“Lucian, I can’t manage without you. Please, come back.”

“No.”

“I’ll do anything you want. I’ll raise your salary.”

“Make it five times higher.”

“Fine. Ten times higher.”

“…What?”

Reluctantly, moved by their pleas, Lucian returns with an incredible salary boost.

**

But…?

Is it just his imagination, or is His Majesty hovering around him more than ever?

“What’s going on with you and that guy?”

“Huh? We’re just working together.”

“…”

And now he’s interfering with everyone Lucian meets for work.

“Aren’t you dressed a little too nicely? Who are you trying to impress?”

“Excuse me? Today’s schedule is exclusively with Your Majesty.”

“…”

Unlike before, he starts picking on the most ridiculous things.

“Why are you smiling at that guy?!”

“Well, should I frown at the visiting king? We should be hospitable to the visiting envoys.”

“…”

Oh, come on, what’s gotten into him all of a sudden?!

“I can’t take this anymore; I’m quitting again!”

Lucian decides to escape His Majesty’s constant interference once more.

And then…

“Lucian, you’ll never get away from me!”

What follows is a thrilling(?) suspenseful(?) romantic(?) chase, with Heraith relentlessly pursuing Lucian to the ends of the continent—or even to the depths of hell.

“Please! Just let me quit already!” <<less

“You really didn’t notice Jaeeon-hyung was acting strange?”... more>>

Once hailed as a ‘genius of the century’ and later remembered as the hero who saved humanity in the distant future—Ki Jaeeon.

But in the process, he lost everything and everyone dear to him. In the end, he lost even the will to live.

Seeking peace through death, he chose to end it all—

Only to wake up… in the past.

𓂃 ོ☼𓂃

“If even the Ki family is afflicted by this curse, then this is serious!”

Rumors snowballed as time went on.

The more Jaeeon refused meals and sobbed under the covers, the more he screamed through sleepless nights—

The more anxious everyone around him became.

[What kind of curse is this?!]

Even beyond the Ki household, the Exorcist Association began to stir.

Eventually, Ki Taeho, the head of the Ki family, came to believe that a curse far beyond their power had befallen his second son—

So he decided to send Jaeeon to Seoul, where the best exorcists were said to reside.

Unfortunately, Jaeeon’s condition wasn’t due to some unfathomable curse.

That was a completely misguided assumption.

The truth lay elsewhere.

[PTSD]

A psychological illness known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Yes—he was a man wounded.

“I came back.”

A survivor returning from an utterly devastated future.

He was the tragic hero.

The strongest exorcist—Ki Jaeeon. <<less

Choi Ye-Hyeon, an F-class hunter with no combat ability, has only skills to check the status window of himself and the other hunters.... more>>

Choi Ye-Hyeon made money by following the ranker party and selling potions and status ailments at a slightly higher price than the market price.

Then, a huge gate that has never appeared before appears in the sky over Seoul. Due to the unusual size, the Hunter Association dispatched all the hunters, but they were annihilated before they even reached the boss room.

Just before his death, a notification window flashes in Ye-Hyeon's blurred vision.

【system】 Loading is complete. Do you want to start? (yes/no)

When he opened his eyes, he went back to three years ago. Ye-Hyeon's ability (job), who was a simple 'player', was changed to 'dating sim player'.

In order to save his older sister who will be in coma, and to survive by clearing the extra-large gate that will appear three years later, Ye-Hyeon is uncertain, but he has no choice but to attack the four targets as the system tells him to. <<less

His family was ruined and its members were scattered. Lee Yoonjo, who had given up on his dreams and future, lived each day busily, wishing only for the day he could be with his family again. One hot summer day, a nightmare came to him.... more>>

“Little one, Yoonjo-ya.”

Won Kangho, who appeared cloaked in darkness, informs Lee Yoonjo of the debt his father has incurred. Furthermore, he proposes that Yoonjo become a ‘plaything’ at Hwayudam (花愉炎), a pleasure den for the upper class…….

“What will you do? Shall we end this with a suggestion, or…….”

The man let his voice flow like the snake that tempted Eve, a voice that could not be refused, that must not be refused.

“Shall we take it as far as a threat?”

Will Lee Yoonjo be able to escape from him? <<less

Indeed, the era of the great zombie apocalypse has arrived. Twenty-one-year-old Han Jungwoo, who has been bravely surviving alone for a year, encounters Cha Junghyuk, a handsome man perfectly to his liking, in an adult toy store he entered with a sinister purpose.... more>>

With black hair lightly covering the nape of his neck, Cha Junghyuk has a face that is not just good-looking but strikingly beautiful, with a hint of rebelliousness. His well-built body is faintly visible through a tight black polo shirt, and he has a rough, vulgar mouth.

When this ideal man, who walked right into his life, said, "Stay with me tonight," Han Jungwoo's heart was already captivated.

At least, that's how it was until the next day when Cha Junghyuk stole his bag and ran away.

A few days later, in a desperate situation, though not quite a life-or-death moment, the familiar face of his enemy reappeared and said:

"What a small world, isn't it?"

"Huh? What?"

"Hey, kid, did you not hear my warning? Did it go in one ear and out the other, or maybe through a different hole?"

It was Cha Junghyuk.

"We keep running into each other. Must be fate."

Han Jungwoo's eyes widened in anger as he grabbed a wrench and charged at Cha Junghyuk. <<less

"Please grant me a divorce, Your Majesty."... more>>

"A divorce, you say… I see no reason to refuse."

"…Are you serious?"

Unintentionally, I gazed at him with suspicion.

"Yes. But on one condition: for the next three months, you must share my bed."

Eurain, a man born with the rare "Lamia" trait—granting him the ability to conceive—is fated to live as someone's wife. Entranced by admiration, he married the Grand Duke, only to face cold indifference and an untimely death.

This time, he won't let history repeat itself. Not again.

This life, I refuse! <<less

"My one-sided love was ruined." ... more>>

Compared to his perfect older brother, Ha Giyeon was endlessly inferior.

His first love, and his last love, they were all his brother’s friends. The one he poured endless affection into returned it with words of cold rejection, as violent as a slap.

From the family he craved love from, he was met with the thunderous declaration that he wasn’t their real son, and then thrown out of the house. Even when he worked backbreaking labor, his life felt like it wasn’t really living.

Then, a sudden car accident came for Ha Giyeon. On the verge of death, he regretted and wished: If I get to live again, I’ll never pour my love into the family that ignored and discriminated against me, or the brothers who tormented me under the guise of affection. I’ll live my own life, completely for myself.

And then like a lie, at 17 years old, in the middle of winter, Ha Giyeon regressed.

As Ha Giyeon began to change, so too did his family and brothers… <<less

After being hit by a truck, Kang Jiha finds himself trapped in a Tsukkur-style horror game set in his former high school. ... more>>

Without any prior knowledge, he struggles through trial and error, experiencing dozens of bad endings before ultimately seeking help from the only human NPC in the game—Yeon Suho.

However, after Jiha confesses the truth about his possession, Suho suddenly changes. Not only does he kill Jiha twice, but he also breaks away from the fixed game routes and starts relentlessly following him…

“If I help you… and you clear the game, what happens next?”

Jiha didn’t fully understand what Suho was asking, but if it was something Suho wanted, he was willing to do anything for him.

As long as Suho remained within his sight. As long as Suho stayed in a place where Jiha could always watch over him, he was ready to stake everything he had and do whatever it took.

“Well… I guess this place will become peaceful, and I’ll return to my original world.”

“…….”

“……?”

“Is that so?”

And so, I killed my senior.

Even though I was the one who did it, watching him die hurt so much that tears streamed uncontrollably down my face.

“You’re my whole world, senior. Where do you think you’re going?”

Senior coughed up blood in violent bursts, his trembling eyes locked onto mine.

My own hands, stained with his blood, shook as I spoke.

“Just die… Please, die, senior.”

With what little strength I had left, I raised my hand once more and swung it down with all my might. <<less

Aina is forced into an engagement with Pierre, the heir to a duke's family, by his power-hungry relatives. Pierre, notorious for being a scoundrel, doesn't even show his face during the marriage negotiations and keeps rejecting him. Finally, a month before the wedding, he enrolls in the tightly secured Knight Academy...... more>>

Can he successfully marry his fiancé who has fled to what is essentially the military?

"Let's see how far the young duke will go. Aren't married couples supposed to be one flesh?"

"Go to Siella, Aina. By any means necessary, make that scoundrel vow to take you as his spouse."

***

"It seems you don't like your fiancé very much."

At those words, Aina stopped in his tracks. As he turned around, he slowly raised his head after lowering his gaze to the floor. His eyes were filled with shock, guilt, and an unwavering desire.

"No. I like... I like him."

"...I see."

Was this really the time to confess liking someone else right in front of him? Pierre's mood instantly soured.

"It's true, Pierre... I only like you."

And with those words that followed, he felt elated as if he had taken a drug. Each word made him feel like he was going back and forth between heaven and hell. However, he couldn't follow the flow of the conversation where Aina was expressing his feelings for him right after he had mentioned his fiancé. It seemed like Aina was either confused about something or skipping several steps in his mind before speaking. <<less

“In the Romance White Book, entry 107 states, 'Every romance leaves its trace.'"... more>>

Height 183, weight 72, CSAT score 485, ability 0.

Those were the familiar, adequate, and ordinary numbers that described myself, now twenty years old.

I was accepted into a university well above my grade level as an extra. However, when I went to the bank to pay my tuition, I met a man who called me an ability user. An ability user who was immune to abilities. I scored a flat 0% in every category of the ability test, can’t even bend a spoon, and possess no combat skills whatsoever, though?

I didn’t know what use my ability would be in the military, but I became affiliated with the ability user group, S.E. Jung Haekyung, the one who dragged me into S.E., was the only one who reached out their hand to me, someone who was suddenly dragged to an unfamiliar place and treated unfairly.

Haekyung was as beautiful, strong, and kind as ever, but… the more time we spent together, the more something seemed… <<less

“Lev, those who fall in love don't get angry.”... more>>

The ruthless kingdom of Sandre, where winter reigns for half the year.

Lebedi Sorokin (Lev) graduated at the top of his class from Sandre’s most prestigious ballet school and went on to join the Royal Ballet. Blessed with an impeccable physique and innate genius, Lev was the perfect dancer, as if born with the feathers of a swan. However, he harboured a deep hatred for the nobility, the sworn enemies of his family, and steadfastly refused their patronage. He spent his days powerless, performing minor roles or dancing in the corps de ballet.

But one day, Lev was entrusted with the lead role, replacing an injured dancer in a regular performance attended by the royal family and the founding nobles of the kingdom, and led the performance to an astonishingly successful conclusion. Having witnessed his performance, ducal heir (Lord) Denebyev offered Lev his patronage. Unable to turn down the offer from such a powerful figure, Lev reluctantly accepted the young lord. Despite Lev’s rash behaviour, his insults, and his readiness to demean, the young lord was strangely deferential to him... <<less

And Hel, the King of the demon world, didn’t want to live relying on his two servants, and also wanted take back his soldiers with his own hands once more.... more>>

But in the 300 or so years he had lived, he never attended kindergarten, let alone received formal education. Of course, there was little he could do about it.

Only one place contacted him to come for an interview. There, he received a business card, but the Demon King Hel couldn’t read human language.

He didn’t know what was written on it, but tightly held the business card in his hand, and began his part-time job from henceforth.

“These are the kind of jobs we do here.”

“I see.”

The interviewer gave his card. Hel took and held it, but he couldn’t read human language. He couldn’t read it, but casually nodded his head as if he could.

“Are you still going to do it?”

“Yes. The money will be given as promised, right?”

“If you don’t run away for a month, I’ll give you as much money as advertised.”

“Good.”

The interviewer’s eyebrow suddenly rose as if surprised at Hel’s answer, but immediately went blank once more.

“You may go now. You can go to work by this time tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Hel got up from his seat without any hesitation, and there where he sat was a single, imposing business card:
