“Your Grace.” A soldier bowed before approaching her, but she paid him no mind as she looked at the crowd. “Anyone else willing to go?” An emotionless question slipped from her lips, but no one dared to step forward. Even the soldiers were casting fearful glances her way. All I knew about Grand Duke Montaine was that she wielded the power of fire and bore the red mark of the divine beast in one eye. I had no idea she was this arrogant. “Have you all forgotten that it is I, not that…- 290.6 K • Ongoing
- Hoiga’s eyes wavered, revealing his inner conflict. It was ridiculous. He must be desperate to live to show that side of himself right in front of me, someone he hated so much. Hoiga will never know what I wanted to see more than the misery of prison or his ugly rage toward me was precisely that look on his…

- Inside the Montaine Castle’s walls stood the main building, connected to four cylindrical towers. The tops of each tower were covered with dark, conical tiled roofs, completing the gray castle. Perhaps that was why the flag hanging from the tip of the spire caught my eye. It featured a flame in the center,…

- Tairok couldn’t help but laugh at my shameless request. The corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes sparkled with delight. As if that wasn’t enough, he took my hand and kissed it again. “Gladly. I’ll treat you like royalty.” “No.” I shook my head immediately and quickly pulled my hand away. His flirtatious antics were one thing, but this confession was a fatal blow to me. As you…

- “I heard you haven’t eaten in a while. Is the food not to your liking?” Kilu’s voice, heard for the first time in several days, was as gentle as ever. As he spoke, he set a tray with an elegant plate down in front of Hoiga. It was a kind gesture, but Hoiga stared down at the plate with a pale face.…

- This pathetic fool. I was about to hurl insults at this pleading fetishist when another sound stopped me. “Cough!” The informant’s eyes opened. Then his chest heaved as he struggled to breathe. “Hey, are you alright?” “W-where am I? Cough, why am I in my house… cough!” “That’s…

- Non-human beings may seem free, but I suspect that freedom stems from their acknowledgment of a superior power. Ever since I received a gift from the Spirit of Poison, most non-human beings haven’t dared to come near me. They still were visible to me, they’d just retreated to a distance. But after I hung the serpent divine beast’s key around my neck, they vanished completely. Just like some kind of exorcism charm. The only ones this charm didn’t work on were the divine beasts. So, the…

“Are you going to stay here?” A shadow crouched inside a deserted, eerily quiet alley spoke in a gentle voice. It was a dark space where not even a ray of light could penetrate, as the streetlights were broken. “It must be scary alone….” Right near that streetlamp, Jion was conversing with a dim figure invisible to others. It was closer to one-sided coaxing than a conversation, since the other person remained silent. “Hmm… what should I do….” Jion rubbed his chin. He…- 5.1 K • Ongoing
- Kwon Chasa, who had been specially dispatched to the living world alongside him, was famous as a legendary figure who had never once failed to guide a soul to the afterlife. Yu Chasa had just taken his first steps as a grim reaper. He was the only one to volunteer for this special dispatch, filled with expectations that there would be much to learn from him. It was only later that Yu Chasa learned Kwon Chasa used inhumane methods to maximize fear, mercilessly wielding a buwol1 when dealing with stubborn…

- The homeroom teacher adjusted his glasses with a displeased look upon seeing Jion still wearing his bag. “Chae Jion, are you late again?” “No! The bell rang as soon as I entered the classroom. I’m not late.” “How many times have I told you that counts as being late? Hm?” Since the time when ghosts were most active was the hour of the rat, from 11 PM to 1 AM, whenever Jion encountered a ghost, he would always fall asleep after that time had passed. Naturally, since he was so…
