It only took a moment for South Korea to be paralyzed by a “new virus” that spread through nothing more than physical contact. The infection had a 100% mortality rate. Its most prominent symptom, a high fever, melted the eyes and brain, inevitably leading the infected to death.... more>>

But the catastrophe didn’t stop there.

Those who had died from the virus came back to life as if it were some kind of cruel joke, looking like something straight out of a zombie movie.

The night of the university's end-of-semester party, Saejin witnessed what looked like a mu*der scene.

Scared the man might kill him too, he tried to run, but ended up getting caught.

“Hey.”

“Y-yeah? Me?”

The voice sounded like he'd get hit if he didn’t answer. As Saejin snapped his eyes open, the man standing in his line of sight had a nasty scowl on his face.

“You got a death wish or something? That way’s crawling with freakish bastards.”

“Huh…?”

The man gave a nudge with the tip of his shoe to a creature lying at his feet.

‘What… what is that?’

The person he’d beaten down looked more like a monster. Its face, lit by the streetlamp, was charred black, and its skin was covered in burn-like blisters. The shut eyelids were sunken in, and some kind of sticky fluid—maybe pus, maybe tears—was seeping out between the lashes.

What the hell was that thing? It clearly had a human shape, but the wrongness of it made Saejin’s skin crawl. The only word that came to mind was “monster.”

“I get that you bolted because you misunderstood something, but does that look human to you?” <<less

Master's wife, are you joking? You want me to have a child with you?"... more>>

After transmigrating into a cultivation world, Qin Feng was merely an ordinary miscellaneous disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. He never imagined that his fiancée’s master’s wife would suddenly come to him... and actually ask to have a child with him.

Qin Feng originally intended to refuse, but unexpectedly, he was drugged, and a ridiculous night unfolded.

From that moment, he activated the Goddess Feedback System—so long as Liu Ruyan cultivated, he would receive ten times the cultivation in return.

When Liu Ruyan awakened the Phoenix Spirit Physique, he awakened the Primordial Divine Physique.

“Liu Ruyan has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. You receive tenfold feedback and break through to the Golden Core Realm.”

From then on, Qin Feng began his path of lying flat and soaring to the heavens. <<less

Joo Yeonho has suffered from insomnia for the past five years.... more>>

Ever since the accident on the ski slope the day he went skiing. He lost all memory of the day the accident happened, and even the entire year before that.

When he returns to that same resort to prepare for his graduation exhibition, Yeonho comes face-to-face with a mysterious and beautiful man.

“What are you doing here, sneaking in and hiding like this? How did you even get in?”

What kind of business could anyone possibly have at a resort that hasn’t even opened yet?

“Sorry for being so blunt. You could’ve been dangerous, so I spoke firmly.”

“Why are you like this? Are you sick?”

But the man behaves like he knows Yeonho. No–like someone deeply close to him.

Gong: Kim Siwoo (age 21 → 26)

Black hair. He’s staying at the resort before it officially opens and introduces himself to Yeonho as an employee from the construction company conducting a safety inspection. But he’s hard to trust. He lurks around with suspicious intent, hiding his true motives. Yet he somehow manages to lull Yeonho into peaceful sleep in his arms.

Soo: Joo Yeonho (age 20 → 25)

Light brown hair. Son of the CEO of Platte Resort. He visits the resort to take photos for his graduation exhibition. After a ski accident at age 20, he lost a full year of memories. Now he suffers from severe insomnia and struggles with side effects from the sleeping pills he takes. He has a compulsion to document everything through photographs.

Read this when: You’re in the mood for a mystery romance where nothing feels true and everything feels off. Or when you want a dark, angsty reunion story tangled in misunderstandings and love-hate.

I really wonder why Kim Siwoo suddenly appeared in my life and keeps making me so anxious. But I won’t ask. My life has been so boring and dull…I want to figure it out for myself. Slowly. Even if it’s dangerous, that makes it more fun. <<less

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

My engagement was broken off right before the wedding due to my fiancé’s unbelievable affair.... more>>

“I didn’t know either, but when a woman came on so strong, I got excited too.” “You bastard…”

Facing resignation from my job, I couldn’t bring myself to tell the company people the scandalous history behind my broken engagement, So I asked my older brother’s friend, Kwon Ji-sung, to act as my fiancé for just one day.

“What would you like to eat, honey?” “Keup!”

His passionate acting is excessively bold.

The family’s matriarch wants to force him to acknowledge her as his mother. His nominal “auntie” schemes to use him as a pawn to secure the family fortune. His cruel half-sister wants to control him like a new toy. In a house where even the maids dare to mock him, Haruka’s only weapon is a natural, magnetic charm he doesn’t yet understand.

There are sins that do not lead to death. If you see someone commit a sin that does not lead to death, pray for them. Then life will be given to the one who committed that sin.... more>>

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore, nor shall the sun beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

The blood of Apostle John contains the secret to quenching a vampire’s thirst.

“I don’t care if you’re a goddamn serial killer.”

The pale blue eyes, unusually light in color, and pupils dilated in the darkness, make the back of his neck prickle.

“I’m interested in you.”

Could it be that Ian’s blood is John's blood?

“What the hell are you doing?”

“That’s why I said stop before you fall in love.”

“I don’t fall in love with prey.”

It’s not a vow. It’s just the truth.

But watching Ian smile, Jay feels like he’s sinking deeper and deeper into a pit.

Through Ian’s blue eyes, Jay can clearly see the expression he’s making. His own expression terrifies him. That is—seeing the look of concern for someone else on his own face fills him with fear he can’t bear.

Because it only means one thing. Ian was right.

“Don’t make that face.”

I think I like him.

“It’s not that bad of an injury. It just looks dramatic.”

Goddamn it.

“Jay.”

Goddamn it, goddamn it, goddamn it.

He probably likes Ian.

…No, he definitely does. <<less

Ye Xi has had a secret crush on Bai Yue for nearly three years—an infatuation filled with frustration and repression.... more>>

Bai Yue is his brother’s best friend: handsome, upright, and gentle as jade.

But unfortunately—

Ye Xi and his brother are like fire and water. Forget about using his brother as a connection—if his brother ever found out about his indecent thoughts, he’d beat him up for sure.

So Ye Xi never even considered confessing to Bai Yue. All he dared to do was secretly watch from the shadows.

He obsessively scrolled through Bai Yue’s WeChat Moments and cherished every single photo of him.

When he heard that Bai Yue liked apple pie, he painstakingly taught himself how to bake—then struggled to shove his burnt attempt into Bai Yue’s desk drawer.

The next day, a rumor spread through school that someone was trying to poison Bai Yue.

Ye Xi was furious.

He wanted to explain.

He sighed—and quietly backed off again.

He figured: there was no chance he'd ever be lucky enough to date Bai Yue. But even for just one day… he wanted to know what it felt like to be held in Bai Yue’s arms.

To achieve that, he threw himself into studying the ways of a flirt, trying to seduce Bai Yue.

He schemed his way into Bai Yue’s apartment by begging for tutoring… then scored the lowest grade in history.

He unbuttoned his shirt in front of Bai Yue, revealing a teasing glimpse of his shoulder—only to trip and fall flat on his face the next second.

He used the excuse of a rainy night to stay over at Bai Yue’s house and asked for a towel—only for the showerhead to break and spray water all over Bai Yue.

Ye Xi was in despair.

Why was seducing someone so damn hard?

Forget it—he gave up.

But just as he was about to flee, Bai Yue pinned him against the wall and kissed him.

Bai Yue: "What nonsense are you spouting? I’m the one who painstakingly plotted to get you into my home—I’ve been secretly in love with you all along."

The man Euiseo once believed—without a doubt—to be his savior had, in an instant, revealed himself to be a monster in disguise.... more>>

Unable to endure the ab*se from the orphanage director any longer, Euiseo ran away. That’s when he found Gwonju, collapsed and bleeding from a stab wound. Euiseo saved his life.

Wanting to repay the man who had rescued him from death, Gwonju offered Euiseo a place to stay. Euiseo insisted it would only be for a short while. Still, when Gwonju warmly welcomed him into his home, Euiseo began to see him as his own savior.

But Gwonju had no intention of being anyone’s hero.

His only plan was to fatten Euiseo up and devour him whole.

And yet, Euiseo—starved for affection—fell hard for Gwonju’s kindness.

They each lived in their own dream, believing everything was going according to plan. But it all shattered the moment Euiseo, haunted by deep trauma from past violence, witnessed Gwonju handling someone with terrifying brutality.

That day, the sweet, hopeful fantasy of Euiseo’s first love came crashing down.

“Spread your legs and behave. I’m saying I’ll make you my lover.”

At last, Choi Gwonju showed his true colors—and Euiseo found himself trapped, unable to escape.

“I can’t keep pretending to be your lover, Executive Choi. What even is this relationship? You’re never good to me, and every day it’s just more of your weird crap.”

“And what is it you want to do with me, baby? Hm? Come on, say it.”

“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…

A few months later, the veteran LPL team TTC announced their new mid-laner. A boy with flamboyant blue hair appeared in front of the audience. His Zed gameplay was so astonishing that whoever he faced ended up dead. Female fans teetered on the edge of betrayal, tempted to switch their loyalties.

During a post-match MVP interview, everyone held their breath, eagerly watching this talented newcomer.

The young man took the microphone, smiled, and asked, “To the water friend with the StarTV username ‘Suburb King 101,’ my team’s address is on the official website, when will you be mailing your head over?”

—

After one regular-season game, the staff went backstage to fetch the team for an interview, only to stumble upon TTC’s new mid-laner and their jungler standing in a corner.

TTC’s star jungler, Road, was pressing the team’s new mid-laner, Soft, against the wall. Leaning in close, he asked in a low voice: “You know what to say during the interview, right?”

The fiery mid-laner, who had cemented his tr*sh-talker reputation in his very first game, was currently blushing furiously.

“In short, I’m having a great time. It’s that satisfying feeling of a bountiful harvest,” Xǔ Shí says with a grin. “Next time, I’ll mark ‘very easy’ again!”

[Serious Synopsis] :

Years later, staring at the protagonist who’d just taken a bullet to the head, Xǔ Shí—the transmigrator who became the villain of the story—couldn’t help but recall that distant afternoon from the original plot.

He still didn’t get it. What did the protagonist ever have to fight him with?

A bit of wit and a few little inventions?

In the face of the conglomerate’s overwhelming power, those tricks were utterly worthless.

The so-called love and justice he always preached?

How laughable. In the City of Night Sins, those are always the cheapest commodities.
