Why? I pointed with my chin toward the direction of the noise. “The scouts who left days ago still haven't returned, and now they even send reinforcements. It must be quite serious if they have to pull soldiers from this post.” “Oh, um...” My guess hit the mark. Rick looked at me with a mix of flustered confusion. “I am only like this because I nearly died,” I added. “Ah, yes...” Rick still appeared nervous, but I felt no desire to play the role of Lu just to reassure him.…- 290.6 K • Ongoing
It was an inexplicable phenomenon, but preventing chaos among the students took priority for now. "…We must have seen it wrong," Yohan said. "You’re right. Maybe it's because we just came back from the guard squad? We must be exhausted." Yohan offered a clumsy excuse to avoid a commotion, and Suhyeok immediately supported him with a natural performance. Thanks to them, the students seemed a bit bewildered, but they soon moved away from the topic of the rift. Instead, they began to discuss…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
- “It is alright. It is not that serious.” Yohan wiped away the blood. He had encountered such situations often back when he fought monsters as the High Priest. Compared to those days when every single monster was powerful and difficult to take down, the current creatures were numerous but pathetic in strength. This made them far easier to handle. Look at them now. A single prayer had already knocked down a significant number of them, and they looked flustered because the cracks in the windows of…

- “Wait, Suhyeok! It is too dangerous alone!” Yohan chased his friend toward the window. “What? Why is he even there?” Suhyeok threw the window open. He intended to swing his blade at the monster but froze in shock instead. Yohan stood beside him and looked out. Just as Suhyeok said, something was caught in the green monster’s grip. “Good heavens. Melek!” Melek had consumed a potion of negativity and cowardice. He now was limp in the monster’s hand with a look of…

- The Potion for the Negative and Timid, aside from making the user lose all confidence and become a pessimist for a set period, had no real side effects or lingering after-effects. That was the only silver lining. However, the fact that a potion had been used on a classmate during lecture for reasons unrelated to the assignment weighed on Yohan. He couldn't help but steal glances at Professor Will. If the Professor wanted to, he could easily dock points for a simple case of "poor attitude." What…

- “Could we go today and submit a resignation request? And why is the assembly point the Rose Garden again? Strange incidents happen there far too often.” Suhyeok grumbled with a look of genuine dread. Perhaps it was meant as consideration for the first-year students living within the barrier, but the decision to designate the inner hall of the Rose Garden as the gathering place did not sit well with him. “…There really have been many incidents in the Rose Garden.” Yohan murmured and,…

For more than half an hour, they stood in an embrace. They might have stayed that way until dawn if Eunho hadn't finally reached out to comfort him. They moved downstairs to the living room and sat on the sofa. Eunho sipped his drink while a simple snack was on the table before them. He appeared lost in thought. "For now, I plan to keep working at the meat restaurant." His voice had a newfound weight. Eunho began to open up about how he wanted to live his life from now on. Yeorok sat beside him…- 238.1 K • Completed
- When Eunho stepped outside at 11 p.m., a familiar car was parked across from the shop. The luxury sedan looked out of place against the backdrop of buildings faded by time. Eunho reflexively lifted his arms and sniffed. The scent of grease clung to him. He had been trapped in meat smoke for hours, so it was only natural for the smell to soak into his clothes and hair. He tried to shake his shirt out, but it wasn’t useful. He finally gave up and opened the back door. Choi Yeorok sat on the plush…

- After Eunho quit his night shift at the convenience store, his sleep schedule slowly returned to normal. He resumed his work at the meat restaurant and was currently helping with the pre-opening preparations. "Did you buy a new phone?" The kitchen auntie asked while they sat around a circular table, trimming young summer radishes. Eunho turned his gaze toward the device on the table. It was a budget model, nothing expensive, but it gleamed with the shine of a brand-new item. "Yes..." Eunho…

- Eunho squirmed before slipping out of his embrace. Perhaps he felt embarrassed about crying, for he hurried to rub his eyes. He avoided Yeorok’s gaze and busied himself with the bedding. Even that simple movement appeared clumsy. “…Go to sleep now.” The way he patted the plump pillow was excessively unnatural. He was trying his best in his own way. Yeorok could not ignore his efforts, so he readily lay down. Eunho stood up, turned off the light, and returned. The sound of his bare feet…
