In an age where the polar ice caps have melted, ushering in an era of vast oceans, Captain Yoon Muhwa finds himself on a pirate island. Recovering consciousness after a surprise attack by an unidentified vessel, he meets 'Number 8,' a boy who claims Yoon Muhwa as his ‘spoils.’... more>>

"Don't die.

…You're the first living thing I've ever claimed."

With small hands, more delicate than ferns, and eyes that gleamed brighter than the buttons on Yoon Muhwa's uniform, the boy clung desperately to Yoon Muhwa's fading life. He unwittingly unleashes a tempest in Yoon Muhwa's otherwise arid existence.

"From now on, I'll call you Haero."

Nine years have passed since their escape from the island together. Their unique relationship, once that of captor and spoils, transforms - from 'Number 8' to Haero, from spoils to little brother. However, hidden beneath the surface lies a secret...

"Don't worry. It's not like it's the first time we've dealt with rumors, right?"

Yoon Muhwa keeps Haero sheltered under his wing, content to perpetuate this comfortable status quo. But...

"I like you, hyung."

Haero, oblivious to fear and driven by his burgeoning feelings, decides to shatter their carefully constructed facade. He will claim complete ownership of Yoon Muhwa, who was always meant to be his.

“I don’t admire you, hyung. 

I don’t dream about having s*x with someone I admire.” <<less

"I saw with my own eyes that they used the finest, rustproof refined steel to make utensils and cans, filling them with just a little food, then casually throwing them away after eating."... more>>

"I saw with my own eyes that they used giant beasts as tall as mountains to devour soil and rocks, digging out underground cities, just to park their steel carriages beneath the surface."

"I saw with my own eyes that they fed glowing ores into an everlasting stellar furnace, unleashing a radiance brighter than the sun."

"I saw with my own eyes all those indescribable things."

"Their iron birds covered the sky, their steel ships filled the ocean, their war machines tore the earth asunder, and their gods walked upon the world."

"You must think I’m mad."

"But it doesn’t matter."

"It has already seen you."

——————

Oil is Its blood.

Thick smoke is Its breath.

Ore and steel are Its food.

The countless cargo ships in the harbors are Its myriad offspring.

The place of origin stamped in the corner is Its silent mockery.

They claim they are mere mortals.

Child, you'd best not argue.

You must understand:

Their technology is beyond comprehension.

Their production capacity is unimaginable.

A mere glimpse of their creations will drive you insane.

Their morale surpasses even the most fanatical worshippers of dark gods.

How will you stop them?

With your sword, child? Or your flesh and blood?

You should be grateful that they still consider themselves mortals.

The absurd adventure story of Ian, a wizard in a medieval fantasy world.

When I woke up, I found myself inside a spaceship.... more>>

I guess you guys think I’m talking nonsense here, but I also have absolutely no clue about what exactly happened to me.

I was really close to completely losing it, but fortunately, I managed to notice that this place was really similar to the world featured in a game I was playing recently.

Am I dreaming? Nope, it’s no dream. Maybe I actually got sent to a different world or something?

But didn’t those things usually involve getting sent to a magical world with elves, dwarves, dragons and whatnot?

In any case, I don’t know what caused this, but I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and live properly in this world from now on.

It’ll be okay. I got my trusty spaceship so I can probably make some money. It’ll work out! It has to!

This is the story of a man abruptly thrown into space along with his private spaceship. He runs around with it and saves damsels in distress along the way, flirts with said damsels, earns money as a merc-for-hire and uses his gaming knowledge to work his way into living freely and easily. <<less

Comparison of Two Lufees, This Luffy is Too Competitive!... more>>

At the Great War at Marineford, a comparison live stream suddenly appeared!

The person being compared was none other than Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!

One white, one red – dual Luffys on screen!

In the original world, Luffy is carefree and reckless, charging into situations without much thought.

Though he lives freely, during the Marineford War, he could only watch helplessly as his brother died right before his eyes.

In the parallel world, however, Luffy understood the law of the jungle at just three years old, pushing himself to extreme levels from a young age!

He mastered Armament Haki at 7, Observation Haki at 9, and Conqueror’s Haki at 14! He set sail at 15 and awakened his Nika form in the same year!

Not only does he push himself relentlessly, but he also drives his crewmates to do the same!

Zoro: "I can't afford to slack off for even a moment, because if I do, Luffy's swordsmanship will surpass mine!"

Nami: "The captain knocks on my door every night without fail, and within three months, he'd already mastered all of my navigation skills!"

Buggy: "What did I do to deserve the honor of serving two generations of Pirate Kings...?"

At Marineford, Luffy steps on Akainu’s head: "You had your chance, but you blew it!" <<less

For ten years, I lived thinking I had been abandoned by my family. By the time I realized it was a misunderstanding, it was already too late.

"It has been revealed that you were a member of the Caelum pirate crew! Surrender with your hands up!"

My father, Nereus, the captain of the Caelum, was captured by the navy and died before my eyes. Somehow, the navy I had loyally served until now also turned against me. I had no intention of becoming a scapegoat for their 'justice.'

So, I chose death...

At least, I thought I did.

"Lala!"

When I came to, I had returned to twenty years ago.

"...Dad?"

A miracle had occurred.

* * *

Caelum will fall within twenty years.

Because of an unknown spy.

To catch the spy who must have been hiding on the ship for at least ten years and to protect my family, I needed to have enough authority and position.

'It's okay now, because there's something I can do.'

With that, I proudly declared to Nereus,

"I'm going to be a doctor."

"A doctor?"

"Yes, the ship's doctor. I'll become the ship's doctor and treat everyone when they're sick."

Nereus stared at me with wide eyes at my admirable proclamation as a six-year-old, then...

"Ahahahahahaha!"

He laughed loudly.

What a troublesome person. <<less

Having chuunibyou and getting NTR’d by his girlfriend made the late bloomer Ensign Nao strongly aspire to that situation of [“protecting comrades and dying heroically”]. However, contrary to expectations, in the Capital Region Guard [Coast Guard] where he was assigned, he becomes hugely active thanks to his sharp mind and the unit’s problem children(?)!

In a desperate close combat situation where he was supposed to die a [hero’s death], his subordinates annihilate the enemy in the blink of an eye!

When encountering space pirates, he plans to stay behind on the ship for a su*cide charge but they succeed in capturing the enemy ship due to engine failure!

Though troubled by the demonic unfeminine executive officer and the combo of a mecha maniac and musclehead female sergeant major, one month after taking the post he earns a promotion and exceptionally becomes acting captain. What’s more, it seems he’s found favor with the princess(?)…

Are handsome men the South’s specialty? Obsession seems to be a basic requirement!... more>>

I’ve possessed Callia Rabius, the villainess from the romance fantasy novel .

Although I’m already isolated from high society, it’s even better since I don’t need to socialize!

I was planning to retreat to the countryside in the South and fully enjoy the life of a wealthy recluse, but….

The naval admiral’s secret, hidden behind a facade of germaphobia: a curse that drains the life force of those he touches.

I accidentally revealed that I know about its existence!

“Please spare me! I’ll ensure no one, man or woman, comes near you!”

To survive, I proposed a contract relationship to the admiral.

With my reputation already in tatters, I offered to become the embodiment of jealousy and keep people at bay.

“How dare you touch my man?”

But as I’m doing it, it seems to suit me surprisingly well?

***

I was living so diligently like that, but something felt off.

“When will I go back, you ask? Not until you show your ugly true colors again.”

The sub-male lead duke from the original story, who once threw the engagement cancellation letter in my face, keeps coming to pick fights.

“The men standing beside you may change, but I will always be behind you, my lady.”

The once cold-hearted butler now declares his lifelong service.

“I’ve never wished more for my hands not to be hands that kill people.”

The admiral, my contract lover, carelessly makes such confessions.

“Calia, pain is temporary, but love is eternal. Why are you running away?”

Now, with the weight of the curse upon her, she sets sail for the treacherous waters of the Cursed Sea, determined to settle the score with the devil who stole her fate.... more>>

Her ship, once a symbol of fear, has become something stranger.

Everyone in our family has their own secrets.... more>>

My mom is the only daughter of a former interstellar pirate, my father is a secret agent of the Old Century Allied Political Army. My adopted older brother has a special bloodline of beastmen, and the sister we picked up from the roadside is actually a master of witchcraft with mystical lineage.

And I, an ordinary eighteen-year-old male high school student, the only biological son of my parents, has no special bloodline, and has been a “normal person” since birth

The reason why I can know everyone’s secrets is because-

I transmigrated.

I was originally an ordinary person on the edge of the class, classmates couldn’t even remember my name occasionally. I refused all social activities that might attract attention, and kept to myself at school.

For some reason, I offended the tough guys in school, and they began to target me openly and secretly, but I never fought back.

Everyone thought I was timid and cowardly, and I never explained.

Because I just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Until one day, I intervened to save a classmate who was being bullied. I accidentally exerted too much force, causing multiple serious injuries. As they lay on the ground unable to get up, I personally took them to the hospital.

Since then, whenever the tough guys who call themselves the school bullies see me, they can’t help but feel weak in the knees—

Yes, as one of the members of this special family, I also have a little secret:

Before transmigrating, I cultivated for a hundred years, with profound cultivation, just a half step away from ascension.

In short, invincible.

The classmate I saved recently has been looking at me strangely.

One day, he found me, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes turning, and he stared at me and said:

“I know your secret.”

I immediately covered his mouth, pushed him into the corner, avoiding the sight of others, and calmly questioned him: “What do you know?”

He’s the antagonist of this book. Although it will be another ten years before he turns dark, if he finds out that this world is a book, many things will go awry

I don’t want to get involved in any trouble, so I must not let him discover that I—

“You like me.”

Transmigrated.

I found a sinking ship and offered to save it. ... more>>

What I received in return was the obsession of the Pirate King - the emperor's bastard who rules these waves.

A wretch like me should have stayed hidden until their ship sailed away. But...

"That's a pirate's nature for you. Seeing retreat only makes me want to drag you back and make you weep."

The man’s hands, which were supporting my back and calves, felt like they were branding me, leaving dark, deep marks that wouldn’t fade.

My entire body pulsed as though transformed into one giant heart. The mingling scents of his cigar and the sea left me dizzy.

After sharing countless dawns together, when I finally opened my heart -

"I've never strayed from my course for personal whims. And I never will."

He abandoned Laila.

So she made her choice:

If the world beyond this shell won't claim me, then I'll make sure the man who sails its merciless tides can't bear to be without me.

That ghost of a woman is trying to save him again.

With her fragile handful of a body, her silk-thread hair, those breakable wrists, the frantic rise and fall of her chest - how dare she, with all that fragility, think she can—

Just watching her stirs something uncanny within him. The pirate covers his face with a calloused hand.

"Very well, sea. If this is my punishment for straying from my course, I accept your judgment."

Even knowing he'll tear out his own heart with regret, he'd make the same choice a hundred times over.

Renok Verche laughs bitterly.

"Damn it all. That woman didn't just consume my dawns - she devoured my very soul." <<less
