No person is an isolated island, except for you.

That day, he looked outside the window and saw a white olive tree in the open field.

***

Reporter Song is quite different from her appearance.

Reporter Song works very diligently.

Reporter Song is a bit cute.

Today I saw white olive trees with reporter Song. It was very special.

My New Year’s wish is to to marry her.

——Li Zan

Ah Zan, you need to pay attention to your safety.

Ah Zan, I like the scenery that has you in it

Ah Zan, don’t be afraid. I will take you home.

Ah Zan, you are the best person I have ever met.

Ah Zan, you have worked hard.

——Song Ran

“Ah Zan, I want to be a bird in my next life.”

“Then I will be a big tree.”

After witnessing the deepest darkness, the most ferocious evil, and the ugliest horror, I am nonetheless grateful to have seen the light, the kindness, and the most beautiful of souls.

I am nonetheless thankful to have seen that grove of white olive trees with my own eyes.

I knew it was a mirage; the intersection of where the sky and the ground meet in the desert.

And you were always by my side; the brightest light in the dark boundless night. <<less

By the time I realized it, I had reincarnated into another world.... more>>

I kept sleeping, and at some point I became a Demon Lord.

Even though I never wished for it.

But for me to not have to work, this world is the best. It must be true that good things happen to good people.

The flavor of Sloth is as sweet as honey. Glory, diligence, virtue, or honor. I have no interest in anything like that.

The greatest demonic cultivator, He Huan, split his divine consciousness into two right before going into tribulation and created another self; whom he named He Ku.... more>>

Unexpectedly, He Huan reached enlightenment, and from the demonic path entered into a path of selflessness— reaching the state of Nirvana. Yet despite no longer caring for himself, he still cared for He Ku.

Oh well, it wasn’t his fault for not having self-harming tendencies and therefore, reluctant to lose his other self. Since this was the case, then this road of selflessness, he won’t take it.

Is there a problem with people loving themselves? Of course not. <<less

It was by pure chance that Wen Yifan became housemates with Sang Yan, whom she had rejected during high school.... more>>

Normally, they lived their lives separately, as if they were two strangers living under the same roof.

But the peace was disrupted one morning.

The night before, Wen Yifan was still sleeping in her room, but she found herself waking in Sang Yan’s bed the next day.

Aware that she sleepwalked from time to time, Wen Yifan could only apologize and put it away as her fault. However, when the situation repeated again and again, she tried to suggest locking his door before he heads to sleep...

Sang Yan dismissed the idea, saying, “You’d just pick the lock.”

Wen Yifan tried her best to keep her composure. “Why in the world would I be able to do that?”

“Well…” Sang Yan lifted his eyes and drawled, “is there anything you wouldn’t do to climb onto my bed?”

After an awkward pause, Wen Yifan smiled. “OK, then go ahead and try.”

Now that caught Sang Yan by surprise. <<less

"I'm... going to break you."... more>>

His low voice grew raspy towards the end. His hand on my hip tensed and began to tremble. His deep gray eyes were overflowing with masculine arousal. Lee Kyuwol's eyes were telling me. The gentle kiss we had just shared a moment ago was merely the beginning of his consolation.

The violent desire that had been hidden underneath his indifferent, gray eyes intensified the moment I gave him my consent, and he warned me that he would break my world. Within the murky fog of dread, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

"...I'd prefer that."

When he heard my whispered reply, Lee Kyuwol raised both of his hands and ripped open my black mourning dress. <<less

Sometime after ‘Gates’ appeared in this world, humanity was divided into two: [User] and [ordinary human beings]
Lee-kyung was able to awaken into a user and choose a [Class]…but, in momentary misjudgement, chose to be a [Necromancer], the worst of all classes.... more>>

Lee-kyung, searching for the materials to evolve his skeletal servant, ‘Lackey,’ was barely able to participate in a high-level raid for [Tower of Command] Dungeon. In an accident, he falls down alone to uncover a hidden conspiracy.

Injured and desperate to survive, Lee-kyung called out to anyone…and reached a vengeful spirit. “Please, I’ll do anything….Please form a contract with me and save me!”

–-You’ll do anything?….

[Will you accept the ‘oath’ offered by ‘Seo Dawon’?]
–-You’ll do your best to help me achieve my revenge. And, I will do my best to save you wherever, whenever you are in danger. Is that acceptable?

Xu Zhaixing’s idol, Cen Feng, was a new star, slowly rising in the entertainment circle. She firmly believed that everyone would see the brilliance of her idol one day. But she could no longer wait for the day to arrive…... more>>

Cen Feng had committed su*cide at home because of depression. It was only after his death that the injustices he had suffered had been revealed to the public.

It turned out that he was an adopted orphan, and his biological father was actually a mu*derer.

It turned out that the reason he never touched the piano again was that his little finger was intentionally trampled by his teammates.

It turned out that the team was harassing him, and he offended a higher-up company, resulting in resources being divided.

It turned out that the treasure, which she had been so afraid to hold on to her palm in fear of breaking it, had been trampled on, had been beaten black and blue…

Six months later, Xu Zhaixing died in a car accident, only to be reborn as a high school student. She was just a freshman that year.

It was ten years before Cen Feng committed su*cide.

I’m going to use these ten years to build the best road just for you. All those who hurt you will never appear in front of you. Brother, let’s walk the flowery road together this time. <<less

“Kwaaak!”... more>>

Among dragons, the strongest dragon cried. F*ck.

I found myself transmigrated into a modern fantasy novel. As an S-rank boss monster, a dragon.

Being a dragon might seem like a decent transmigration, but this monster dies in the prologue. After fighting with the protagonist for several days, no less.

In short, I’m screwed. How can I beat the main character of a modern fantasy?

But I have to survive. Like any possessed individual, the will to survive surged within me.

With the mindset of holding onto a rope, I looked at my skills. Then, a four-letter word caught my eye.

[Polymorph]
Excited, I looked into the explanation, only to find out that polymorphing is only possible into a hatchling. Why can’t I become human?

If you’re a dragon, shouldn’t you be able to transform into a beautiful appearance to charm people around, looking all pretty and holy?

Well, at least it’s probably easier to move around than a giant body. Let’s look on the bright side.

So, I tried using polymorph, and it was incredibly cute! It could easily pass as the novel’s mascot! With just a few cute gestures, it seemed like it could completely charm all the characters inside the modern fantasy novel!

Wait, this wasn’t so bad. Rather than being a stranger, isn’t it better to be a small and cute creature?

And so, I decided to become the protagonist’s companion monster. <<less

With the emergence of Dungeons, came the existences known as Awakeners. They were people who received special abilities to face the dire times and challenge the dungeons. And it was always up to Restorers to clean up the ensuing damage left in the wake of these disasters.... more>>

Jung Yiseon was a Restorer with the power to rebuild collapsed cities. As the only S-class restorer in Korea, he was loved and admired by everyone, but he suddenly disappeared one day.

Leaving his past behind, he goes into hiding deep in the ruins of a forgotten city, until one day, S-class Hunter Sa Hyeon comes to him with an offer…

“Let’s make a deal, shall we?”

“I’m not interested, so please stop following me!”

Jung Yiseon tried to refuse the dubious yet persistent attempts, but he underestimated just how far the S-class hunter was willing to go to have him on his side.

“Those corpses that you’re carrying, I’ll kill them for you.”

Standing on the edge of despair, Yiseon’s only option was to take Sa Hyeon’s hand… <<less

The battle for the scholarship was like wildfire. In the entrance of the school director’s office, Lin Yujing and Shen Juan came face to face.... more>>

Lin Yujing wore a pitiful look, tears threatening to fall. “Classmate Shen, to tell you the truth, I came from the countryside. My family’s poor and I was originally called Lin Cuihua. I was the only one in our Lotus Flower Village to have been able to make it to university. If I don’t get the scholarship this time, I won’t be able to pay off the school fees. If I can’t pay off the school fees, I can only go back to my village and feed the pigs….”

Shen Juan wore a look of indifference and responded, “What a coincidence. I come from the neighboring Lotus Leaf Village. My original name’s Shen Tiezhu. I don’t only have to feed the pigs; I even have to farm.”

Lin Yujing: “…..”

The two people stared at each other for three seconds before turning around in unison and leaving.

Shen Juan got onto his private helicopter while Lin Yujing climbed into her Rolls-Royce.

–This is a story of two rich people trying their best to look poor in front of the other. <<less

The first day Song Yan transferred to his new school, he met his new roommate being blocked by gangsters in an alley asking to pay up a debt.... more>>

The stick in the new roommate’s hands fell, and the little gangster fled in defeat, but didn’t forget to yell in anger while running:

“Look at your little white face, if you find a wealthy woman and get rich, how can you still be afraid to pay up!”

The new roommate looked on in approval, and seemed to have realized the light: “Makes sense.”

Song Yan: “......” What kind of nonsense.

So to block his new roommate from going astray, Song Yan began the road to ruin of targeted poverty alleviation for pure and beautiful male high school students.

No money to buy dinner, so he treated him. No money for book expenses, so he sponsored it. No money for a scarf, so he took advantage of the buy one get one promotion from the store in front of the school to send him a scarf.

The eldest young master Song who already had his expenses cut off by his family had no choice but to learn to be thrifty and hardworking.

Later, his dad brought him to attend a dinner banquet: “Come, Xiao Yan, let me introduce you to grandpa Xia’s grandson, Xia Zhiye.”

Song Yan looked at the boy in front of him wearing a custom-made suit, with the worn out scarf that he dredged out from the buy one get one promotion in front of the school wrapped around his neck, and expressionlessly raised up a knife.

That night, in some male high school’s dorm room came the yell of domestic violence: “f*ck off, don’t pretend to be poor with me!”

However the target of the domestic violence patiently coaxed him: “I didn’t pretend to be poor, I’m really poor. But later on I’ll be very rich, and I’ll even give it to my boyfriend to manage, so how about you consider it again?” <<less

Perhaps he could perceive Yaba’s heart, one day Cha Yiseok proposes to Yaba to sing a song to his brother, who is battling cancer, while pretending to be a healer… <<less

When Chen Wengang was nine years old, he was adopted by the Zheng family of Jin City after his father died in the line of duty, leaving him dependent on the hospitality of others.... more>>

From being a ward of a wealthy family to wandering without a home, he became acquainted with and fell in love with the eldest son of the Zheng family. However, he also faced betrayal and deceit from his lover, bearing the weight of countless rumors.

Most scions of prestigious families looked down on Chen Wengang. At the darkest moment of his life, Huo Niansheng, a playboy who had once mocked him, appeared before him and raised an eyebrow, “You used to be so aloof; how did you end up in such a sorry state?”

Chen Wengang was leaning against a graffiti-covered wall, a cigarette dangling between his fingers, and a half-grimace scar on his face. Huo Niansheng casually approached and borrowed a light, “If you’re truly homeless, why not come with me?”

Chen Wengang got into Huo Niansheng’s car.

Little did he know, that this decision would shape his entire life.

No one knew why the cunning Huo Niansheng was so persistent with an underground lover who was disfigured. He remained indifferent, not indulging in the extravagance of the nightlife.

Later, Huo Niansheng died in a cruise ship accident. In the farewell letter he left for Chen Wengang at the end of his life, he wrote, “I never knew if you truly loved me, and unfortunately, I may never find out in this lifetime.”

Afterward, Chen Wengang was reborn at the age of twenty.

He had not been disfigured yet, and there were many regrets that he could now rectify. Most importantly, he could give Huo Niansheng a second chance.

That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness.... more>>

I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth.

Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being.

Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward.

“Huh? A green frog!”

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!”

“Oh, there really is one.”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less
