The day dragged on. Only a few hours after I came back from meeting Baek Jinseok, my biological father contacted me. His voice came through the phone starting with “You, you bastard,” full of anger. I anxiously headed to the main house late in the evening. Jeong Guhyeon was not in Korea, and my stepmother was out, so I went straight to my father’s study without facing the people I disliked. “Did you call me?” “You!” As soon as I bowed my head in greeting, my father jumped up…- 281.3 K • Completed
Yohan heard a song. Lullaby, pitying smile, a bonfire blooming on the field, glittering stars drifting, a silent dawn, clattering beads, a mouse nest, counting grains of sand, a whispering rosebush…. He barely felt the sinking when his ankle became trapped. When the trap reached his knee, Yohan lifted his head while tears fell endlessly. He gripped his wounded arm roughly. Pain cleared his mind. When blood fell from the flesh that had moved softly on the ground, the thing scrambled to eat it, then…- 297.5 K • Completed
- Yohan suddenly remembered the past. When he went with the team to attack the core of the Abyss, hadn’t they gone down a similar cave? The déjà vu was so strong that it felt like he had gone back to that time. Yohan ran through an empty space underground where he couldn’t tell one direction from another. Then something happened. “Argh…!” With a tremendous shock, Yohan screamed and rolled across the ground. It felt like he had been hit by a truck. The lantern flew through the air and hit…

- “Yeah, right! Let’s go, go!” Yoon Seungryong as he slapped Ju Hoyoung’s back on purpose. Since the much younger Yohan was so fearless, Ju Hoyoung tightly closed his eyes and tried hard to resist the pathological anxiety that came from the enhancement side effect. When he was about to walk quickly again, Yoon Seungryong stopped. “Wait, the old hag isn’t here, so let’s ride this instead.” He said that, and while rummaging through his pocket, he pulled something out of the void. It was a…

- The effect of the unpleasant fog showed itself soon. The monsters that had been following them collapsed to the ground the moment they touched the fog. They twitched for a short time and then went limp as if they were dead. Yoon Seungryong, who was watching that sight, sweated coldly and laughed. “Ha…, this isn’t some instant-kill poison, right? You don’t think the team leader is trying to kill us when Yohan’s here?” Just like he said, the presence of the monsters faded but didn’t…

- “I know I looked like I was in danger earlier. But I really wasn’t. I understand that Hyunmook-hyung had every reason to be angry. But he didn’t have to go this far. This place… it’s not the Abyss anymore.” The gazes of the others, who had fallen into panic at the sight of Lee Hyunmook’s true form, began to waver. Yohan looked at Lee Chanha and Ju Hoyoung, who were still holding him tightly, and asked, “Doesn’t it seem like the one who’s in danger now is Hyunmook-hyung? Can he…

- Were they waiting to say something? Yohan, who’d been nervous, opened his mouth at words he hadn’t expected. “Excuse me? Involvement with illegal funds? …That can’t be true!” His father Yang Hwapyeong had always been a hard worker and an honest man. It stayed the same when he ran the company, and he kept getting awards like ‘Top Ten Companies to Work For’ and ‘Model Coexistence Company for Transparent Management.’ He did charity and volunteer work hard too. So it had to be…

- Finally, the purification field that had spread from the distant sky reached the ground. Inside the dome that shone brilliantly, there was nothing corrupted anymore. However, even with Ju Hoyoung’s buff, the purification field’s range was not enough to cover the entire Great Rift area. The golden cracks that spread through the air were still writhing. ‘It’s fine if I do it the same way I did in the Abyss.’ Yohan thought that with intense focus. But maybe because he had been tense for too…

- “Don't destroy the buildings!” The squad leader's neck veins bulged as he kept shouting into the megaphone. It wasn't that he was reluctant to destroy the buildings. Dozens of people were hiding in each one. That was the biggest problem with the Great Rift. Its progression was too rapid, leaving many unable to evacuate. While Seo Yakrin's net entangled and restricted the monsters' movements, the Special Unit quickly broke open a nearby fire hydrant. Water gushed out, flooding the floor. Then, in…

- * * * “What’s this?” On the way home from work after running errands, an office worker muttered in confusion. Something was fluttering down from the sky. “Snow in this season?” Some saw it as snow, others as flower petals, and still others thought it might be discount flyers or dandelion seeds. Whatever it was, it drifted slowly through the air. Those who reached out of curiosity to touch it were startled by pain. But that moment passed quickly, and soon their eyes went…
