A typical summer for a twenty-three-year-old.

Joo Hwion comes face-to-face with his younger brother, who wore a smile on his face despite the mu*dered corpses of their parents lying at his feet.

No, what he came face-to-face with wasn’t his brother, but an evil spirit.

The knife that killed his parents was now aimed at Hwion, and he strikes a deal with the messenger to return from the boundary of the afterlife.

「All you need to do is exhale a breath into the hand of a living agwi*.」

But what exactly is a “living agwi,” and how is he supposed to find his enemy, the “evil spirit”?

After numerous trials and errors, Hwion ends up hosting a broadcast that focuses on exploring haunted houses.

And four years later, during the summer of his 27th year.

He suddenly encounters a stunning and gorgeous man…

“I was wondering what it was… Turns out it was a piece of tr*sh.”

“…What?”

Of all people, the “living agwi” he had been so desperately searching for turned out to be an arrogant human with a personality problem.

“Ha, someday I’ll make you kneel and beg for forgiveness for what you’ve done.”

“Give it your best try.”

Two individuals who harbor mutual disdain but find themselves entwined by their respective motives.

Will they ever be able to overcome their misunderstandings and achieve their goals?

On the day I died, a spring rain started to fall on the world.... more>>

I shouldn’t have but I couldn’t help but think of Yan Chao Sheng.

For the past centuries, he had always stood in front of me stubbornly, even taking and blocking lightnings for me.

On these naive times , I used to think that he loved me. Until later, he brought back the one who was truly in his heart, a fairy with whom I shared a great likeness.

I sighed, how cruel.

I gave my last breath too soon, therefore I didn’t get to see a figure staggering towards me under the heavy rain.

Yan Chao Sheng, the powerful demon king who owned everything under the sky, couldn’t even fly on a cloud at that moment.

*

Opening my eyes once again, I returned to seven hundred years ago.

Yan Chao Sheng back then was still young, not yet the demon king, but just the lowest disciple who was born with a demon pulse and suffered all kinds of mistreatments.

I surely felt that being s*upid once was already enough.

When he grabbed the corner of my clothes and I then trampled on his fingers, he still refused to let go.

I no longer loved him and this was just the beginning.

I’m Sakura Minazuki, a mageka from a distant realm, often called by the names of “Princesa de Claridade”, “Luminosa”, and so forth, which all entail the invincibility of my powers.... more>>

But for now, I’m just an average office worker.

That’s right, a “wage s*ave” or so you may call it - nothing close to a mageka.

Sakura Minazuki, one who bore the glorious names such as the most powerful “Princesa de Claridade” and “Luminosa” in a distant realm named Glace, made her way to Hong Kong under certain work circumstances. Realising there was not a single job suitable for a mageka, upon the recommendation of her flatmate Kou Igarashi, she changed her path to earning a living as an office clerk.

Stuck in a long-standing dilemma between reality and ideality over time, she decided to pick up on her past identity with the advice from Kou and kick off her double life - “clerk by day, mageka by night”.

One day, the duo received an incoming request to “banish all ‘vampires’ from the city”. What was the true identity of these rumoured creatures of mystery who had been roaming around the city of prosperity attacking humans? And what was the intent behind it?

“In the name of ‘Princesa de Claridade’, I, Mageka Luminosa, now call upon the obedience of this dark creature under my dazzling radiance!” <<less

That day after the depressed-looking Cen Jin had dropped out of his school, he noticed a little enrollment ad put on a streetlight post outside the school entrance. When he saw that the third-rate technical school advertised in the paper didn’t need an admission exam, he enrolled.... more>>

Cen Jin, who only wanted a miscellaneous diploma, found out that the usual lesson of this technical school was: teaching them how to slay a god!

There were three codes for new students to adhere:

-Do not trust all the Gods.

-If you encountered the mysterious (Grim Reaper) and failed to seek help, then adopt these actions: Negotiate, pounce, dominate, and kill. Do not stop until you’re on your last breath.

-Please use up all your strength to convey your feelings, and pray for the gods’ favor.

Cen Jin had no option but to address the gods and deliver a totally committed, passionate confession in order to survive, despite his embarrassment.

Until the first Freshmen’s Skill Competition Conference, at the critical moment of life and death, he confessed before the public, attracting the pity of 100,000 gods.

Only then did he come to know that what he had drawn was a satirical version of the freshmen codes, and the object of his confession was superior to all the 100,000 gods.

Students and instructors all around the world had simultaneously witnessed the chaotic uproar of the Freshmen’s Skill Competition Conference – that tumultuous day, 100,000 gods were inspired to come and, uniformly, cheered to the inconspicuous gloomy yellow-haired in the center of the crowd: Wife teetee!!

Bai Ze was a person who not only had knowledge of astronomy and geography but he also knew about trivialities. He could see through the past and understand the future. It was said that once he was asked by the Emperor to make the ‘Bai Ze Map of the Spirits and Monsters’, which consisted of 1,520 kinds of spirits and monsters.

There was a book titled "Interrogation" in the pre-Qin dynasty.

It taught the nations how to expel strange forces and spirits.

There was a sage saying, "Respect the ghosts and demons but keep a distance from them. Don’t talk about strange forces and evil spirits.”

The initial Heavenly Master named Zhang Daoling got from heaven the sword of female and male dragons and tigers. Getting rid of the heretical ritual performance, he cut down the assessment of the strange forces and evil spirits.

Until the Ming dynasty, while Prince Zhu Biao inherited the throne, his younger brother Zhu Di served the country faithfully and took the responsibility of guarding the border of the country. He was granted the title: the great general.

With one mind, the two siblings united and lived peacefully.

There was an emperor of the Ming generation who loved the people so much that he resolved to guard the country until he breathed his last. Since the country was well guarded, the throne in that dynasty was able to be maintained by the next generations and could standstill for the next 500 years.

Later, the rapid completion of modernization and evolution changed the name of Ming to China, and the domain was standing in the East.

In 1,900 years of the Gregorian calendar, a meteor fell and covered eighty percent of the land area of the Blue Star.
