Murong Yu is a very confident man – until he meets Han Xin.

There’s nothing he cannot get; there’s nothing he cannot destroy.

To let live or not, is all up to him.

He is the future ruler of Great Yan and so it’s only natural that the world should bow down at his feet.

But he had never thought that one day he would lose control of it.

That even his own will would be uncontrollable.

Murong Yu can neither get nor destroy this prisoner of war.

Han Xin has never given a care about the world – until he meets Murong Yu.

He has never cared about anyone, nor has anyone cared about him.

It doesn’t matter if you’re alone or sad, as long as you can still laugh, life will go on.

He has learned long ago how to not question, how not to believe, how not to lose and how not to care.

Destiny’s uncaring teasing and humiliations have already become numb to him.

That’s right, he doesn’t have a care in the world.

Even if it’s this Prince Royal of Great Yan who’s started to warm up to him. <<less

Shiba is a detective in the fifth anti-organized crime division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, a.k.a. “Anti-Gang 5” specializing in handgun seizures. Shiba’s secret weapon is “S” (“spy”), an informant who plays a key role in Shiba’s information gathering.

One day, Shiba awakes to an anonymous phone call. “Watch out for your S.” A tale of two men whose lust, pride and loneliness collide!

S Vol. 2: A Love Bite

Detective Masaki Shiiba's informant or "S," Keigo Munechika, has proven himself to be an excellent source of information. But the payment of s*x for every lead given is taking its toll on Shiiba. But with his new assignment as back-up to a fellow undercover detective, Shiiba learns that there are far worse things than having s*x with your male S--falling helplessly in love with him, for example. S volume 2 continues the drama and passion between a detective and his spy set in the highly-charged underground world of Tokyo.

S Vol. 3: Split

For almost a year now, Shiiba has been using Keigo Munechika as his “S,” his spy, to get information on the gun dealings of the Yakuza world. Shiiba uses his body in exchange for Munechika's sensitive information… and only his body as far as Shiiba is concerned. Shiiba vows their relationship will not go beyond that. But when a rowdy young man with a penchant for piercing and an enigmatic Yakuza leader cross paths with the young detective, sins of the past are unearthed once more-sins that just might shatter the fragile bond between the detective and his “S.”

S Vol. 4: Afterglow

At the end of S volume 3, detective Masaki Shiiba was last seen running away from the hospital room of his injured S, Keigo Munechika.

June 15th of the Western calendar was the day Xiang Jia planned to die.... more>>

Today was the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, which meant there was less than half a year for her to live.

She had enough savings to pay the living expenses for that period of time.

She felt a rare sense of happiness. On the way home after the evening shift, she bought a serving of sweet osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root.

After eating a few bites, she walked into the dilapidated corridor and a dagger was pressed against her neck.

The man behind her was very tall and thin. He had a desperate aura to him.

He was very alarmed, and used his wrist to force a line of blood to appear on her neck.

"If you dare to make a sound, I will kill you," the man grabbed her arm and said in a rough voice.

Xiang Jia thought: Is this really happening?

The man spoke again, "I’m starving. Give me something to eat."

The wolf-like eyes stared at the paper bowl that was still steaming.

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

Faced with a desperate crisis, humanity sculpts the dragon’s corpse to create eight cities. The chosen move to a new city, and the unchosen are left in the desolate Dead sea.

The ‘Theory of Paradise’ will be supported by three pillars. The three of them will be attending the school at the same time, dreaming and sharing the same senses, so they will surely acknowledge each other’s presence.

1000 years after the city was built, three youths who were abandoned and destroyed by the world faced an old prophecy.

“Tell me, you will never love me.”

“You said there was a light outside the tunnel, but to me, the light was you.”

Even in the gloomy dystopian era, the three main characters, Eun Woo, Jae Hee, and Yoon Hwan, were constantly in dynamism. They faced their fate head-on and continued to carry out their own beliefs that they firmly believed on.

Ghost talks have descended upon the world, and the appearance of each horror story constitute the loss of countless lives. Only by clearing the horror story can you leave alive.... more>>

In the tenth year since the beginning of ghost talks, the “Global Ghost Talks Research Association” has summed up a series of general rules.

“The General Rulebook of Ghost Talks”

　1. Do not lose yourself in the ghost talk. Please remember that you are a human being with only two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

　2. Please make sure you have the correct time in the ghost talk. It can help clear up your cognition. Losing time may mean being lost forever.

　3. Find as many rules as possible, but don’t believe in any rules easily.

　4. The more rules you find, the easier it is to attract “His” attention.

　5. Perform your current identity well. You may be of any species in ghost talks. You can be any species

　6. Keep thinking.

If one must strive to be loved, then I will give up such trivial pursuit.... more>>

I will no longer try to kill myself.

* * *

Kalia Estelle, the cursed daughter of a count, had spent her entire life trying to be loved.

She had done everything to prove that she was different from her mad father, who killed their people and burned their land.

But all she achieved was the accusation of being the “devil’s daughter.”

The day before she came of age, Kalia made up her mind.

She would no longer seek cheap affection.

She wouldn’t sacrifice her soul for a fleeting love.

And if there was a next life, she wouldn’t seek love again.

As her consciousness faded and her breathing became labored, she suddenly found herself transported back five years to the past.

* * *

“I love you.”

I hesitated and backed away as Claude approached me.

But my back was against the wall, and before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me.

“Kalia.”

He peered through the small gap between his fingers that covered his face, carefully watching my reaction.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he was radiant at the moment.

He kneeled down and gently took my trembling right hand, making me feel as if this had all been a dream.

His lips touched the back of my dry hand.

“Just as you showed me the light and opened a new life for me, I want to do the same for you.”

Beneath his long, thick lashes, his eyes were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

“You know why I live. Kalia, please let me love you.” <<less

After a red meteor slashed through the heavens, human progress ground to a halt. ... more>>

Since that momentous day, humanity lost its ability to create rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, cars...

The towering pyramid of civilization, meticulously built from the achievements of modern science, crumbled into dust.

Yet, the catastrophe didn't stop there. The grey realm, following the arrival of the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragged the civilized world bit by bit into the abyss of disorder.

In this new age, a human life was no more significant than a speck of dust, yet amidst the ruins, humanity's spirit shone as brightly as the stars.

Amid the crumbling edifice, observers could see a figure—an actor—defiantly standing on the wreckage of civilization, his red cloak as vivid as blood, his expressions flickering between laughter and tears. Behind him, the curtain of the era gently parted. With arms wide open, he whispered to all who would listen— "Let the show begin." <<less
